Opposition lawmaker claims Madagascar’s president fled following a coup by rebellious soldiers
President Andry Rajoelina of Madagascar left the country after an elite military unit turned against the government in an apparent coup following weeks of youth-led protests. The soldiers, accompanied by protesters, called for Rajoelina and government ministers to step down. Rajoelina’s whereabouts are unknown, and there are reports that he fled on a French military plane. The unrest in Madagascar has been escalating, with anti-government protests erupting over issues like water and electricity shortages and alleged corruption. The country has a history of political instability since gaining independence from France in 1960.
