France evacuated Madagascar's president due to military coup

    The French military evacuated Madagascar's president Andri Radzuelina after protests and a military coup. This is reported by Radio France International.

    It is noted that the evacuation was carried out after an agreement with French President Emmanuel Macron.

    The French government says it does not interfere in the internal politics of Madagascar, which was a French colony until 1960.

    Protests initiated by young people on September 25 began in Madagascar due to water and electricity shortages, but quickly escalated into demands to fight corruption and reform the political system. According to the UN, at least 22 people were killed by the actions of the country's law enforcement officers.

    President Andri Radzuelina dismissed the Prime Minister and dissolved the Government. At the same time, the protesters demanded the resignation of the president. At the same time, the country's army staged a military coup with the intention of overthrowing the government.

    Meanwhile, Macron himself on Monday refused to resign as president, ignoring calls from the opposition to resign amid the political crisis in France.

    Late on Friday evening, October 10, French President Emmanuel Macron, after lengthy consultations with key political forces, decided to reappoint Sebastien Lecorny to the post of Prime Minister. korrespondent.net.
