‘They couldn't see who they were shooting at’: Police target protesters in Madagascar

Protests erupted in Madagascar's capital, Antananarivo, on September 25, as demonstrators defied a government ban to voice their frustrations over ongoing water and electricity outages. The situation escalated dramatically when security forces responded with violent measures, including tear gas and vehicles charging into the crowd, leading to multiple injuries and at least five fatalities. This unrest highlights the growing discontent among citizens regarding essential services and raises concerns about the government's handling of public dissent.
