"Gen Z" protests

Madagascar's youth took to the streets of the capital Antananarivo in so-called "Gen Z" protests last month demanding Rajoelina resign, amid anger over the water and electricity shortages crippling the country.

NPR spoke to protesters who said they hadn't had water out the taps for six years, despite still paying for it.

Over the weekend, the CAPSAT military unit announced they had sided with the protesters and would not move to quash any demonstrators, calling them "our brothers, our sisters."

Rajoelina then fled, reportedly in a French plane though that is unconfirmed, while some of his officials are believed to have escaped to Mauritius."
