Madagascar's political landscape faces heightened tension as President Andry Rajoelina plans to address the nation amidst claims of an attempted coup. Unrest in the African island nation has intensified, with increasing military support for a youth-led protest movement.

On Sunday, President Rajoelina warned of efforts to seize control by force. This comes as reports emerge of more soldiers joining the growing protests, which seek significant political reforms in the country.

For over two weeks, the youth-driven demonstrations have been a catalyst for change, pushing the boundaries of Madagascar's political framework. The international community watches closely as the situation develops.
