The current location of the President of Madagascar remains unclear. However, Andry Rajoelina addressed the nation from an undisclosed location, saying he is currently in hiding and had to flee for his safety. There are unconfirmed reports that Rajoelina fled in a French military plane. Calls for his resignation increased after a special military unit turned against the government over the weekend in support of weeks of youth-led protests. French President Emmanuel Macron said he could not confirm reports that France helped Rajoelina escape. In his speech on Monday evening, Rajoelina called for activating the constitution to resolve the crisis surrounding his leadership. We spoke to opposition MP Mami Rabnerena to get his perspective on what the military’s support for the protests could mean for Madagascar’s political future.
