Madagascar
According to reports, President Andry Rajoelina of Madagascar fled to France following an agreement with President Emmanuel Macron. While he insists that he remains the leader, the military has taken over and the National Assembly has impeached him.
Madagascar has been rocked by the largest youth-led protest waves in years, leaving at least 22 dead and forcing President Andry Rajoelina to dissolve his government amid mounting anger over water and power shortages.
