🇲🇬 Madagascar: Return of a President
"Madagascar is an island and I thought we don't have any enemy from abroad. The result is this coup."
In 2009, Marc Ravalomanana, the democratically elected president of Madagascar, was deposed from power and forced into exile, following violent clashes and a coup d'etat that left more than 100 people dead and the African island nation in turmoil.
Coup leader Andry Rajoelina, a former radio DJ and business magnate, became president of Madagascar's High Transitional Authority. Since then, income inequality, poverty and malnutrition have increased in Madagascar.
From his exile in South Africa, Ravalomanana is determined to regain power by peaceful means and to return to his country. But the road back to his country and to democracy is a minefield of political intrigue and international economic interests.
And there are more than political ideals at stake.
