By Redaction ARPS with Agencies
Madagascar’s military-led government has appointed a cabinet primarily composed of civilian ministers, including some former opponents of ex-president Andry Rajoelina.
Colonel Michael Randrianirina became president after taking control amid protests, and a military committee will oversee governance for up to two years until new elections.
Herintsalama Rajaonarivelo is the new prime minister. The government faces challenges related to power and water shortages, as well as economic issues.
Rajoelina, who was impeached and is currently in exile, does not recognize the new government, and there are no updates on the protesters’ responses.

The US Embassy in Mali advises American citizens to leave immediately due to heightened terrorism threats and a severe fuel crisis caused by jihadist blockades.

Travelers should use commercial flights rather than land travel, as land travel is deemed too dangerous. This warning highlights risks related to crime, terrorism, and kidnappings.

An al-Qaida-linked group, JNIM, has disrupted fuel transport and damaged vehicles, leading to fuel shortages, school closures, and transportation issues amidst a broader insurgency destabilizing the Sahel region.
