PROTESTERS In Madagascar Entered The Capital City Of Antananarivo Today For The First Time Since Demonstrations Began Last Month, Accompanied By Military Escorts.
The Protests, Which Started On September 25 Due To Shortages Of Water And Electricity, Have Since Intensified And Now Pose One Of The Greatest Challenges To President Andry Rajoelina’s Administration Since His Re-Election In 2023.
Earlier Today, Some Soldiers From The Military Unit That Helped Rajoelina Seize Power During The 2009 Coup Called On Their Fellow Soldiers To Disobey Orders And Support The Youth-Led Protests.
The Elite CAPSAT Military Unit, Which Played A Crucial Role In Rajoelina’s Rise To Power, Made A Rare Public Appeal For Solidarity With The Protesters Demanding The President’s Resignation.
Videos Circulating On Social Media Show CAPSAT Soldiers Urging Others In The Military To Back The Demonstrators And Protect Them.
