The military says this has taken power in Madagascar after the president moves to a “safe place”

An elite military unit says she has conquered power in Madagascar by President Andren Raoelina after weeks of protests led by the youth of the Indian Ocean Island.

Standing in front of the Presidential Palace, Capsat Chief Kohl Michael Randrianina said the military would form a government and hold elections within two years. He also stopped key democratic institutions, such as the Election Commission.

Gen Z protesters will be part of the changes as “the traffic is created on the streets, so we have to respect their demands,” he added.

Troops and protesters celebrate President Rajolina’s apparent expulsion, with thousands of cheer and waving flags in the capital Antananarivo.

The Madagascar Constitutional Court has identified Kohl Randrianina as the new leader of the country, although a statement from the president’s cabinet is said to be still responsible and condemns what he defines as a “coup attempt.”

Rayolina’s location is unknown, but he said he was sheltered in a “safe place” after an alleged attempt at his life from “military officials and politicians”, which capsat denied to participate in a French military aircraft.

Kohl Randrianina told the BBC that Madagascar is “a country where chaos is now reigning.”

“Chaos because there is no president – he has gone abroad.”

The riots began a little over two weeks ago after a movement led by a youth Protects against chronic water and interruption of power supply across the country.

The demonstrations soon escalated to reflect greater dissatisfaction with the Rayolina government due to high unemployment, growing corruption and life crisis.

Protesters were confronted with the security forces, which led to the deaths of at least 22 people and more than 100 other injured, according to the UN, although the Malagasius government rejected these figures and described them as “based on” rumors and misinformation “.

Capsat, who supported Rajoline when he entered power in 2009, joined the protesters on Saturday.

President Rajolina, entrepreneur and former DF, was once seen as a new start for Madagascar.

The baby’s leader became president when he was only 34 years old, won the title of the youngest leader in Africa and continued to rule four years before he returned to power after the 2018 election.

But he fell to the benefit of claims of crome and corruption, which he denied.

Despite the fact that it seems that power has shifted from it, it continues to try to influence events.

Rayolina tried to dissolve the National Assembly before the opposition could vote in order to undress him from his presidency to abandon the post, but it did not work.

The legislators voted for Impeach Raji with 130 votes to one empty newsletter. Even the members of his party Irrmer voted in predominantly to impose him.

Rajoelina rejected the vote by calling it “insignificant.”

The African Union (AC) warned against the soldiers who “intervene” in Madagascar’s political affairs and rejected “any attempt at government unconstitutional changes.”

French President Emmanuel Macron called the situation “highly disturbing”.

The island has gone through a series of political cataclysms in recent years.

Madagascar is one of the most overwhelming countries in the world, with 75% of their 30 million people living below the poverty line, according to the World Bank.
