Madagascar's coup leader Colonel Michael Randrianirina was sworn in as president YESTERDAY to loud cheers, days after taking control of the island nation in the wake of youth-led protests that forced out his predecessor. Ex-leader Andry Rajoelina, whom lawmakers impeached after he fled abroad last weekend, has condemned the takeover and refused to step down while in exile. The African Union and the United Nations have condemned the coup, which came after weeks of "Gen Z" protests initially triggered by severe, chronic power and water shortages. SADC has also taken a decision to deploy a team comprising Organ Troika member states to undertake a fact-finding mission to Madagascar. For the latest, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Professor Solofo Randrianja, political analyst from the University of Toamasina in Madagascar
