	<p dir="ltr" data-pm-slice="1 1 []">On Monday, 29th September 2025, President Andry Rajoelina announced the dissolution of Madagascar's government, including the termination of the prime minister and all government members, following widespread protests across major cities, including the capital, Antananarivo. The demonstrations, driven by public frustration over frequent power outages and water shortages, have disrupted daily life and, in some cases, escalated into violence and looting, causing significant economic damage.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In a televised address, President Rajoelina acknowledged the unrest, stating, "Faced with the current situation of instability that the country is experiencing, marked by frustration and anger generated by power and water cuts, I have heard the call of young people and I fully understand their concerns and frustrations." He also issued an apology on behalf of the government for failing to meet the public's needs and expectations.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The president promised swift action, committing to appoint a new prime minister within three days to address the ongoing crisis and restore stability. The protests, which have gripped urban centers, reflect growing discontent with infrastructure challenges that have left many households without reliable access to electricity and clean water. The violent turn of some demonstrations has further strained local businesses and communities, amplifying calls for immediate government reform.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Rajoelina's decision to dissolve the government marks a significant step in responding to the public outcry, particularly among the youth, who have been vocal in demanding accountability and solutions. As Madagascar awaits the announcement of a new prime minister, the nation remains on edge, with citizens hoping for rapid improvements to address the critical issues fueling the unrest.</p>
