Madagascar’s president Andry Rajoelina has been evacuated from the country by a French military plane as protests and a military mutiny threaten to topple his government, RFI has confirmed.

You know a popular uprising is the real deal when France is evacuating their guy before the people take full control. The president’s location is a mystery, his allies are fleeing on private jets, and the army is defecting to join the protesters in the streets. France loses another colony in Africa.

    I had no idea Madagascar was a French colony. TIL. Welp hopefully they become a secular workers collective and not just another flavor of fascist.
