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.
