Madagascar's president dissolves government after 'Gen Z' protests

Madagascar's president dissolves government after 'Gen Z' protests

The president of Madagascar, Andry Rajoelina, has dissolved the government following protests led by "Gen Z" activists. The protests, which began on Thursday, have resulted in the deaths of 22 people and the injury of over 100 others, according to the United Nations. The demonstrations were sparked by concerns over the high cost of living and the government's perceived failure to address the country's economic challenges. The protesters, predominantly young people, have been calling for political reforms and greater accountability from the government. In response, President Rajoelina has decided to dissolve the current government and form a new one. This move is aimed at addressing the concerns of the protesters and restoring stability in the country. The situation in Madagascar remains fluid, and the international community is closely monitoring the developments. The dissolution of the government is seen as a step towards resolving the crisis, but further actions and reforms will be necessary to address the underlying issues and meet the demands of the protesters.
