Police clash with protesters as thousands rally in Madagascar

ANTANANARIVO: Several thousand anti-government demonstrators marched on Thursday through Madagascar’s capital, several of them injured when police cracked down on the latest youth-led protest of the past two weeks. The fresh rally came after the Gen Z movement called for a general strike and rejected President Andry Rajoelina’s attempts to defuse the tensions rocking the Indian Ocean Island. The president has appointed a new prime minister and called for dialogue in a bid to quell the near-daily protests that erupted on September 25.
