JAKARTA - Madagascar's President Andry Rajoelina dissolved the national assembly, exacerbating tensions with demonstrators led by youths and the military forcing him to leave the country.
As reported by Reuters, Tuesday, October 14, the Decree posted on Facebook stated that the president had consulted with assembly and Senate leaders, but it was not clear whether the move had legal value.
In a speech challenging the people from an undisclosed location on Monday, Rajoelina refused to step down despite pressure from the weeks-long Gen Z protests demanding her resignation and widespread defection in the military.
The opposition has sought to collect enough signatures to launch an impeachment process against him in parliament.
