Gen Z protesters in Madagascar vow to fight on against president

The Guardian

October 03, 2025

Young protesters in Madagascar have said they will continue their fight for the resignation of the president, Andry Rajoelina, and rejected his dissolution of the government on Monday as insufficient.

Twenty-two people were killed and 100 injured at the demonstrations, according to the UN. The unrest broke out on 25 September when local councillors were arrested for protesting against water and electricity outages in the capital, Antananarivo.

The youth-led protests quickly spread to other towns and cities, fuelled by social media and other gen Z protests in Indonesia and Nepal, where the government was toppled.

Madagascar, which has a population of 32 million, is one of the world's poorest countries. It was ranked 140 out of 180 countries in Transparency International's 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index.
