AU suspension of Madagascar raises questions about continental body's attitude to poor governance

View descriptionShare

The Institute for Security Studies - ISS - has raised concerns with the African Union's decision to expel the island nation of Madagascar following a military coup that led to the flight of former President, Andry Rajoelina. The coup was a culmination of demostrations by mostly Gen Z protestors, which brought Rajoelina's six-year reign to an abrupt halt and culminated in the installation of military leader, Colonel Michael Randrianirina as the country's new president. The ISS says the AU's zero tolerance of coups should be matched by a similar attitude towards the poor governance that provokes youth protests. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Martin Ewi, the ISS' Southern Africa Regional Organised Crime Observatory Coordinator
