Former Malagasy President Andry Rajoelina was stripped of his citizenship by the new regime following a coup led by Colonel Michael Randrianirina after weeks of protests over power and water shortages. In Sudan, paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) claimed to have captured El-Fasher in Darfur, marking a significant shift in the civil war as the city was the last stronghold for army-aligned militias. The UN has called for an immediate ceasefire due to impossible humanitarian access. Meanwhile, Ivory Coast held presidential elections with incumbent President Alassane Ouattara expected to win another term, extending his rule close to two decades.
