Madagascar’s army has taken control of the country after parliament voted to remove President Andry Rajoelina, a former disc jockey who led the island nation twice since 2009. He fled the country following weeks of youth-led protests over corruption, poor governance and shortages of water and electricity.
The High Constitutional Court said it had asked Colonel Michael Randrianirina to take charge as head of state, saying Rajoelina was no longer able to carry out his duties.
