The President of Madagascar has formally dissolved the government following a period of intense and violent protests sparked by widespread concerns over poverty and inadequate infrastructure. The demonstrations, initiated over several weeks, have resulted in 22 fatalities, according to the United Nations. The protests largely centered around allegations of limited government services and social inequality. The President has stated that the dissolution is a necessary step to allow for a peaceful and stable transition to a new administration. The situation remains complex and the future direction of the country is uncertain.
