Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar, Breaking News, Governance, Politics, Protest

Rivonala Razafison reports in Africa Review [1] that “scores of Antananarivo residents wore black clothes to denounce poverty in the country”.  He adds that Madagascar has experienced over 10 different forms of protests since early January. The latest protest is still ongoing and was initiated by army officers of the CAPSAT [2], the same regiment who helped put the current government in power.
