Andry Rajoelina, the leader of Madagascar, apologized to the nation for the government's failure to fulfill its duties, in the context of the Gen-Z protests in the country. These began in Antananarivo and spread to other cities, with thousands of young people demanding fundamental rights. The UN condemned the violence of the security forces, reporting 22 deaths, while the government disputed these figures. Rajoelina announced the dismissal of the Minister of Energy and the intention to form a new government, but the protests continue, highlighting public discontent and the challenges faced by his administration.
