Summary: Last year, Madagascar experienced youth protests that led to the fall of the government and its replacement by military government. The military leader of the country has now dismissed the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
Relevance: The youth protests which toppled governments in Nepal and Madagascar were big news last year. We are now getting to watch how these will play out. It is important to study these situations so that in future one has realistic expectations for how popular uprisings evolve in the years after the major protests.
Discussion points: Predictions for what will happen next in Madagascar. Comparison to Nepal and other states rocked by "Gen Z" protests. General commentsry on popular youth uprisings.
