ANTANANARIVO (Reuters) -The thousands of young protesters chanting vitriolic slogans against Madagascar's President Andry Rajoelina in Antananarivo were clear about what they wanted him to do.
"He has to quit. Immediately," 21-year-old law and politics student Angie Rakoto said at a demonstration on May 13 Square, named after a 1972 youth-led revolution that kicked out the first post-independence president Philbert Tsiranana.
