Madagascar President Dissolves Government After Deadly Protests Over Water Power Cuts
Madagascar's President Andry Rajoelina announced the dissolution of the government following widespread protests led by young demonstrators against frequent water and electricity outages. The protests, which erupted across major cities including the capital Antananarivo, resulted in at least 22 deaths and over 100 injuries, according to the United Nations. Demonstrators demanded the resignation of the government and local officials, with some protests turning violent and involving looting unrelated to the protesters. Rajoelina acknowledged the public frustration, apologized for the government's failure to meet essential needs, and vowed to appoint a new prime minister within three days. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights condemned the excessive use of force by security forces and called for respect for freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. Despite the turmoil, interim ministers will continue in office until the new government is formed.
