Madagascar Army Unit Seizes Control After Weeks of Protests

Army officers in Madagascar took control of the country after lawmakers impeached President Andry Rajoelina, who went into hiding when soldiers joined anti-government protests demanding his resignation.

The impeachment vote on Tuesday defied a declaration by Rajoelina hours earlier dissolving parliament, and came after he fled to an undisclosed location, becoming the latest ruler to be imperiled by so-called Gen Z protesters demanding change.
