Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 65666, member: 636"] Madagascar's Gen Z movement leaders criticized the appointment of Prime Minister Herintsalama Rajaonarivelo by the country's new military ruler on Monday. Col. Michael Randrianirina, who seized power through a coup last week and was sworn in on Friday, selected the businessman without transparency or consultation, according to Gen Z Mada. The youth group questioned Rajaonarivelo's ties to the ousted government and warned against repeating past failures. The protests began nearly a month ago over water and electricity shortages before expanding into broader demands for political change that forced President Andry Rajoelina into hiding. Randrianirina's elite CAPSAT army unit took control after Rajoelina's dialogue efforts failed to stop demonstrations. Gen Z Mada stated it would monitor the new administration closely and not permit the revolution to be compromised. [/QUOTE]
