Demonstrations seeking president’s resignation follow other youth-led movements in Kenya and Nepal
“Gen Z” protesters in Madagascar have called for a general strike as demonstrations to topple the government of President Andry Rajoelina escalate, snowballing into the biggest of their kind on the island nation in years.
The youth-led protests began last month over chronic water and power cuts, fuelled by widespread anger over official corruption, high levels of poverty and unemployment.
