A spokesman for pro-Ravalomanana forces said that military troops loyal to Ralaomanana intended to attack the roadblocks around Antananarivo. The spokesman said the action would be an offensive against the pro-Ratsiraka forces holding the roadblocks.

The pro-Ravalomanana militia forces are now being called the Marc Ravalomanana Support Committee (KMMR, in Madagascan acronym).
