Madagascar's President Dismisses Cabinet

0:00This is Global News Today, powered by AI and presented by the Daily News Now. Madagascar's president, Michael Ranjury and Irina, dismissed his prime minister and the entire cabinet on Monday. This comes just months after he took control of the Indian Ocean Nation. His spokesperson confirmed the move and his statement from the capital, Antananaribo. Ranjury and Irina grabbed power back in October amid widespread unrest. Youth-led protests played a big role in pushing out the previous leader, Andrew Rajalina, that shift marked a major change in the country's leadership. The protests highlighted deep frustrations among younger people over economic issues and governance. They forced Rajalina from office after years in power. Now, with the cabinet gone, questions are rising about the next steps. Officials say the president will appoint a new prime minister soon following the constitution. No reason was given for the dismissals. This keeps the political scene fluid in Madagascar. Meanwhile, the nation watches closely as these changes unfold.
