That was then

Self-exiled "former" President Marc Ravalomanana:

Last week, he told Reuters that he was open to sharing power with Andry Rajoelina, Africa's youngest president, who has accused Ravalomanana of being a dictator.

But, now...

Ousted Madagascar leader Marc Ravalomanana has rejected sharing power with the new army-backed president in a move likely to entrench the deadlock between the two camps.

Can you say "failed negotitating ploy"?
