ANTANANARIVO (Reuters) -Madagascar's President Andry Rajoelina is expected to make a live address on his Facebook at 1000 GMT on Friday, a post on his page said, as protests continue to unfold in the country.
Inspired by similar youth-led "Gen Z" demonstrations in Kenya and Nepal, the protests, which began last week, have grown into the largest wave of unrest Madagascar has seen in years, posing a serious challenge to Rajoelina, who was re-elected in 2023.
