So a president who got to power through a coup is now saying a coup is illegal?
I’m saying this half-jokingly, half-seriously, I hope it’s not going to be another brutal civil war in Africa.
hope democracy prevails and peace is restored soon.
Julien will not stand for this!
Coup in Madagascar wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card.
Kowalski, analysis.
Lead by a group of penguins.
Is the same president from 10 years ago that was previously a DJ and made a campaign by gifting t-shirts with his face?
Madagascar’s president Andry Rajoelina has been in power for 12 of the last 16 years, and himself came to power in a coup that led to 4.5 years of isolation from the international community and the worsening of the economic situation of what is already one of the poorest countries in the world. Since his return to power in 2018, he’s done nothing to alleviate the desperate poverty his countrymen and -women experience on a daily basis. Instead of investing state funds in basic infrastructure like power generation capacity, consistent clean water delivery, educational reforms (the current primary school curriculum is the same as the French colonial one from 1960), he’s spent money loaned to the state in vanity legacy building projects such as a new mall, a cable car system (that goes nowhere useful, costs half a day’s wages to ride, and officially only runs for 6 hours a day, though often less due to power cuts), and modern luxury apartments built by regime-friendly businessmen that lie empty because no one can afford them.
