Does Madagascar still have a President of the Republic?

Gné? By the time you read this column, many of you will be asking yourselves this question: Does Madagascar still have a President of the Republic?

Well, I’ll be honest with you: at the time of writing this column (10/12/2025 at 10:35 PM), I have absolutely no idea. And this despite my immense network of information and informants.

Many snippets of information suggest that he has fled, but other snippets also suggest that he is still there.

In doubt, let’s just say he is still there. But for how much longer? The army and the institutions are being toppled one after the other, without any forceful actions, without anything.

Even the controversial gendarmerie has finally laid down its arms, so to speak. Since the gentleman who goes to his office every day… no longer needs to do so, since he too has been dismissed 🤣

We should also note this new appointment of the new Chief of Staff of the Malagasy army, on the recommendation of the CAPSAT.

Well, Your Lordship… things seem to be ripe here, don’t they? Cooked, as they say?

For 16 years, you had the guns and everyone dug. Today… well, you’re the one digging since you no longer have the guns. A cruel reversal of the situation, isn’t it?

You have one last step left to take: make one last video to say goodbye. But knowing your Dedakism, we’re not counting on it. We’ll therefore have to wait for the flamingo hunter to declare a vacation from power, who, we imagine, doesn’t want to be a traitor either.

The ticking clock seems to be coming to an end soon. By the way, I watched a few excerpts from your speech during your mock dialogue in Iavoloha.

You complain of having been misled by your Solelakists and other Solelakodists. This is clearly dishonest because since 2017, I’ve been constantly throwing the facts in your face. So, what did you do stupidly to block me from your news feed?

In short, you only have yourself to blame today. A true head of state is concerned about all the opinions, and isn’t satisfied with those who sing his praises on a daily basis. A word of warning to your successors as well, that’s been said.

Everyone is now awaiting the next events with apprehension, and to these people, I say: can it be worse than the last 16 years? Yes, it’s still possible, but personally, I don’t think so.

Because something has emerged in the meantime, and that thing is called Gen Z. They are certainly young, perhaps inexperienced in politics, but they know what they want… and especially what they don’t want.

And more or less, what they want, you want too: water, electricity, of course, but above all: dignity.

From that perspective, let’s let them be. Let’s trust them. I trust them because they will always be, in some way, the guardians of good governance. A word of warning to future lovers of power.
