Madagascar's youth-led protests have resulted in another change of leadership, with a young military officer now in power following the ousting of President Andry Rajoelina. This uprising stems from years of chronic unemployment, corruption, and economic disparity between the political elite and the majority. Social media played a significant role in mobilizing protesters. The island nation has experienced a recurring pattern of political upheaval, with new regimes promising reform but failing to address underlying issues such as patronage, weak institutions, and inequality. The newly installed leader faces challenges including rebuilding trust, stabilizing the economy, and delivering tangible improvements for the population.
