1:17Now PlayingArmy officers in Madagascar took control of the country after lawmakers impeached President Andry Rajoelina, who went into hiding at the weekend after soldiers joined anti-government protests demanding his resignation.
The impeachment vote on Tuesday defied a declaration by Rajoelina hours earlier dissolving parliament, and came a day after he fled to an undisclosed location, becoming the latest ruler to be imperiled by so-called Gen Z protesters demanding change.
“We took the power, all the institutions in the republic are dissolved,” Colonel Michael Randrianirina of the army’s Capsat unit, told reporters outside the presidential palace in Antananarivo, the capital. A committee will be formed and will hand power back to civilians within a few days, he said.
