In Madagascar, a significant political crisis has unfolded as the military declared a takeover following the impeachment of President Andry Rajoelina. Colonel Michael Randrianirina, representing an elite military unit, announced the seizure of power on Tuesday. This move comes after months of escalating protests and political instability in the country.
President Rajoelina reportedly fled Madagascar in fear for his life amid the military rebellion but has not officially resigned. The military has promised to hold elections within two years, aiming to restore stability and governance.
This takeover follows the President’s controversial decision to dissolve the national assembly, a move that sparked widespread anger among youth and opposition groups. The dissolution prevented an impending opposition-led vote aiming to remove Rajoelina from office.
The situation remains tense as the political future of Madagascar hangs in the balance. The international community watches closely as events develop.
