http://www.euronews.net/ Madagascar's former president Marc Ravalomanana has failed in his attempt to return home after his plane was refused entry to the country's airspace.

According to the airline, a subsidiary of South African Airways, the flight was forced to go back to Johannesburg from where it had taken off four hours earlier.

Supporters of the ex president blame Madagascar's interim leader Andry Rajoelina, who toppled him in 2009.
