 Accusations were also made against both then-president Albert Zafy and his predecessor, Didier Ratsiraka.The debate over why and how the Rova burned remains an unresolved and highly contentious subject decades later.Shortly after the fire, the government of Madagascar established the "Direction nationale des opérations Rova" (DNOR, or National Office of Rova Operations), a body directed by four national experts within Madagascar's Ministry of Culture who were tasked with developing and overseeing plans for the reconstruction of the Rova.
