Army Announces Take Over Of Madagascar

OpenLife Nigeria reports that a Madagascar army colonel, who led a mutiny of soldiers that joined anti-government Gen Z protesters, said on Tuesday that the military had taken charge of the African Island nation, after President Andry Rajoelina fled the country.

The Republic of Madagascar is an island country in the Indian Ocean that includes the island of Madagascar and numerous smaller peripheral islands.

Lying off the southeastern coast of Africa, it is the world’s fourth-largest island, the second-largest island country, and the 46th-largest country overall. Its capital and largest city is Antananarivo.

“We have taken the power,” Colonel Michael Randrianirina said on national radio, adding that the military was dissolving all institutions except the lower house of parliament, which voted to impeach Rajoelina just minutes before his announcement.
