Madagascar’s President Promises Reforms Amid Growing Protest Pressure.

Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina has asked for one year to fix the country’s challenges, promising that if they persist, he will resign.

He said this during a town-hall style meeting at his palace with various groups of government supporters.

The movement behind the recent protest, known as Gen Z Mada, has been calling for the president to resign and has rejected an invitation to attend the talks.

Rajoelina has been holding these meetings as part of his pledge to listen more, emphasising that the challenges facing the nation can only be solved through honest conversations and not protests.
