Madagascar's new government has stripped ousted president Andry Rajoelina of his Malagasy nationality, according to media reports confirmed by RFI, 10 days after he was removed in a military takeover. The decision bars him from contesting future elections.
A decree published Friday in the official gazette said Rajoelina's Malagasy nationality was revoked because he had acquired French nationality in 2014, local media reported, as photographs of the document were shared online.
