"President Andry Rajoelina dissolved his government on Monday in response to escalating,youth-led protests over severe water and electricity shortages, a crisis the United Nations reports has left at least 22 people dead and over 100 injured in the most significant challenge to his authority in years.
The protests, now in their third day, were ignited by widespread anger over rolling blackouts and water shortages that can last for over 12 hours.
The demonstrations have grown into the largest the Indian Ocean island has seen in years, inspired by successful "Gen Z" movements in Kenya and Nepal." AfricaNews
