Madagascar President Andry Rajoelina hiding in ‘safe place’ as he warns of coup attempt | BBC News


Madagascar’s under pressure President Andry Rajoelina has said he is sheltering after an attempt on his life.

It comes after weeks of protests calling for him to quit and in a live broadcast to the nation on Facebook, Rajoelina, 51, said "a group of military personnel and politicians planned to assassinate me".

This follows a fortnight of nationwide protests, mainly led by young demonstrators, aimed at kicking him out of power.

Rajoelina’s failed attempts to appease the group – dubbed "Gen Z Mada" – included the president sacking his entire government.
