Hey amigos, big news from Madagascar! 🇲🇬 On Friday in Antananarivo, military leader Michael Randrianirina took the oath and was sworn in as the country's interim president.
Standing in front of the Constitutional High Court, Randrianirina declared, "Before God, the nation, and the people, I do solemnly swear to faithfully fulfill my duties as the Head of State of Madagascar."
Just a few days earlier, on Tuesday, he announced that state power had shifted into military hands. His reason? He pointed to "non-compliance with the Constitution and the flouting of human rights" as the trigger for this bold move.
What's next? 🤔 The island nation watches closely as Randrianirina steps into his new role. Will he steer Madagascar back to stability and respect for the constitution? Stay tuned for updates!
