Madagascar Appoints New Prime Minister Amid Political Turmoil

Madagascar is experiencing a political crisis following a military coup that led to the appointment of businessman Herintsalama Rajaonarivelo as the new prime minister by Colonel Michael Randrianirina. The move has been condemned by exiled former President Rajoelina, who refuses to step down. This situation raises concerns about governance and democracy in Madagascar, especially as youth-led protests have recently ousted the previous administration.
