Madagascar’s military-led government names mostly civilian cabinet

ANTANANARIVO: Madagascar’s military-led government, which seized power this month, appointed a cabinet on Tuesday of mostly civilian ministers, including some prominent critics of ousted president Andry Rajoelina. The appointments mark a key moment in Madagascar’s political turmoil as the military consolidates power while it tries to address economic hardship and political divisions. The military staged a coup earlier this month after Rajoelina fled the Indian Ocean island nation following weeks of youth-led protests. Col. Michael Randrianirina was sworn in as interim president days later.
