The whereabouts of Madagascar’s president, Andry Rajoelina, remain unclear, though he has addressed the nation from an undisclosed location, claiming he fled for his safety. Unconfirmed reports suggest he may have escaped in a French military aircraft. Calls for his resignation have grown after an elite military unit backed youth-led protests over the weekend. French President Emmanuel Macron has yet to confirm whether France helped Rajoelina flee. In his speech, Rajoelina called for constitutional measures to resolve the crisis. FRANCE 24 speaks to opposition MP Mamy Rabenirina to get his perspective on what the military’s support for the protests could mean for Madagascar’s political future.
