Security forces dispersed hundreds of protesters with tear gas in Madagascar's capital Monday, injuring at least one, AFP reporters saw, while President Andry Rajoelina was expected to name a new premier in a bid to defuse the crisis.
Near-daily youth-led protests that started on September 25 against persistent water and power cuts in the impoverished Indian Ocean island have grown into an anti-government movement calling for Rajoelina to resign.
