In Madagascar, new Gen Z demonstrations held on April 10, 2026, mark an escalation in the standoff with the regime of Colonel Michaël Randrianirina. The young protesters denounce what they describe as an opaque transition process and the lack of genuine institutional reform. They are notably demanding the dissolution of the National Assembly and the High Constitutional Court (HCC), which they accuse of being subordinate to the former regime. For its part, the government has rejected these demands, arguing that these institutions guarantee the country’s current legal framework. This political deadlock is reigniting tensions and highlights the deep disillusionment of a youth determined not to see their uprising taken away from them.
