Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina has appealed to Gen Zs for one year to resolve the country’s challenges, promising to resign if he fails to deliver results.
The movement behind the protest, known as Gen Z Mada, has been calling for the president to resign – and rejected an invitation to attend the talks.
At least 22 people have died in clashes with security forces and scores more have been injured, according to the United Nations. The authorities have disputed these figures.
