Madagascar’s Gen-Z-led movement, inspired by youth protests in Kenya and Nepal, continues to intensify even after the government’s fall. Protesters are demanding a public apology from President Andry Rajoelina and the recently dismissed prime minister, as well as the removal of the capital’s administrator. Demonstrations have spread beyond Antananarivo to cities like Fenoarivo, Mahajanga, and Diego Suarez. Protesters highlight water shortages, power outages, and corruption, urging Rajoelina to resign. Despite the president’s televised promise to address crises and support businesses, young demonstrators expressed disappointment on social media. Since last week, the UN reports at least 22 deaths and over 100 injuries, though Madagascar’s foreign ministry disputes these figures. This is the largest uprising in recent years in the Indian Ocean island nation, posing the most significant challenge to Rajoelina since his disputed reelection in 2023.
