The president of Madagascar announces that an attempt at a coup is being made in the country, after part of the army sided with the protesters.

Protests in Madagascar, initiated due to poor living conditions, have escalated, and soldiers from the elite unit CAPSAT are calling for a revolt against the government. President Rajoelina stated that he is facing an illegal attempt to seize power, while protesters are demanding his resignation. With a predominantly young population, discontent has grown due to shortages of water and electricity. The situation has led to international interventions, including the suspension of Air France-KLM flights.
