Riot police locked down the center of Madagascar's capital ahead of planned fresh protests against President Andry Rajoelina and the political elite. The near-daily rallies, which began on Sept. 25 in Antananarivo, have spread to other parts of the Indian Ocean island, posing the most significant challenge yet to Rajoelina's tenure since his 2023 reelection.
