Madagascar Gen Z Protests: Prez Rajoelina Names New PM; Unrest Continues | Firstpost Africa | N18G

President Andry Rajoelina has appointed army general Ruphin Fortunat Zafisambo as Madagascar’s new prime minister, a week after dissolving the government in response to ongoing protests over power and water shortages. The general, previously director of the military cabinet in the prime minister’s office, is tasked with restoring essential services. Despite this move, Gen Z-led demonstrations continue into a third week, with university students and residents marching in the capital. With only a third of the population having electricity and daily power cuts, the crisis highlights long-standing infrastructure failures, persistent poverty, and growing public anger against the government.
