Protests have surged across Madagascar, particularly in the capital Antananarivo, as citizens express frustration over ongoing water and power shortages. Hundreds of young protesters, part of the 'Gen-Z' movement, took to the streets despite President Andry Rajoelina's announcement of a government dissolution. Demonstrators are demanding accountability following violent clashes with security forces that resulted in at least 22 deaths and numerous injuries. The UN's human rights chief condemned the excessive use of force by police, while the government dismissed the UN's casualty figures as misinformation. A curfew has been imposed in Antananarivo amid reports of violence and looting. Rajoelina acknowledged the public's anger and announced plans to form a new government, but protesters remain unsatisfied, calling for further action and accountability.
