Authorities in Madagascar have imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in the capital, Antananarivo, following protests against frequent power outages and water shortages that turned violent.
Hundreds of protesters took to the streets yesterday to voice their anger over persistent power cuts, which often leave homes and businesses without electricity for over 12 hours. Police used rubber bullets and tear gas to quash the demonstrations.
Local media reported on Thursday that three homes of politicians known to be close to President Andry Rajoelina were also attacked by protesters. END
