Tensions escalated in Madagascar after youth protesters rejected an offer to join President Andry Rajoelina’s "national dialogue" with various groups, accusing his government of repression after weeks of demonstrations in the African island nation.

Inspired by similar "Gen Z" movements in Kenya and Nepal, the protests pose the biggest challenge to Rajoelina’s government since his re-election in 2023, giving voice to widespread discontent over rampant poverty and high-level corruption.
