A protester holding a Malagasy flag jumps from a vandalised Gendarmerie armoured vehicle as members of a section of the Malagasy army arrive to take control of the area around Lake Anosy following clashes between demonstrators and security forces during protests calling for the resignation of President Andry Rajoelina in Antananarivo, on October 11, 2025. Groups of Madagascar soldiers joined thousands of protestors in the capital on October 11, 2025, after announcing they would refuse any orders to shoot demonstrators.
Fresh youth-led demonstrations in Antananarivo drew large crowds in one of the biggest gatherings since a protest movement erupted on the Indian Ocean island on September 25. After police used stun grenades and tear gas to try to disperse the demonstrators, soldiers arrived at the heart of the gathering near the Lake Anosy area where they were welcomed with cheers.
