Madagscar: the struggle for power
- 15 years ago
IN THE PAPERS: Madagascar’s President Marc Ravalomanana refused to yield power on Tuesday, saying he was determined to fight to his death. At least 100 soldiers backed by tanks stormed the presidential palace in the capital Antananarivo late Monday and seized the country’s central bank in a symbolic assault against the president. Ravalomanana was not inside the building during the assault.
