General Appointed as Prime Minister in Madagascar Amid Protests Suppression

In Madagascar, a general has been appointed as Prime Minister as the government moves to suppress protests.

Mass demonstrations have erupted across the country over political discontent, and in response, the leadership selected a military figure to take control of the executive branch. The new Prime Minister’s mandate includes restoring order, managing security forces, and heading the government during this turbulent period.

The appointment signals a shift toward stronger state control, possibly sidelining civilian political leadership. Human rights groups have expressed concern that civil liberties may be curtailed and that suppression of dissent could intensify.

Observers expect heightened tensions ahead, especially as protestors clash with security forces. International actors are watching closely, urging restraint and respect for democratic norms.
