Madagascar is witnessing major political unrest as President Andry Rajoelina has left the country amid massive demonstrations led by young citizens demanding reliable electricity and clean water. The national parliament voted to remove him from office for neglecting his duties. Meanwhile, the influential CAPSAT military unit, siding with protesters, has seized control of the government. Streets in Antananarivo burst into celebrations as people voiced anger over Rajoelina’s French connections and dual nationality. Similar public uprisings have recently shaken countries like Kenya, Nepal, Morocco, and Indonesia. With widespread poverty and a long record of unstable leadership since gaining independence in 1960, Madagascar now enters a turning point as military authorities steer the nation toward its uncertain future.
