Africa Connect: Madagascar Military Government - Implications for the future

November 14, 2025·17 min·1 clip

The new military president has already made his first mistake by appointing a prime minister that the Gen Z protest movement immediately rejected.

This episode analyzes the recent military coup in Madagascar, where Colonel Michael Randria Narina took power after Gen Z-led protests over power outages and poor governance. Expert Dr. Paul Kariuki contextualizes the coup within broader African trends of military takeovers and discusses the implications for Madagascar's future stability and democracy.
