Police fire tear gas, rubber bullets as Madagascar protesters rally | Protests News

March comes after ‘Gen Z’ anti-government protesters reject President Andry Rajoelina’s attempts to defuse tensions.

At least 1,000 anti-government protesters have marched in Madagascar’s capital to demand that the president resign, as police used tear gas, stun grenades and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds.

The demonstration on Thursday comes in the third week of the most significant unrest to hit the Indian Ocean island nation in years.
