Madagascar"s transitional authorities have revoked the citizenship of former President Andry Rajoelina. This decision was made following his acquisition of French citizenship in 2014, which officials claim violates the nation"s 1960 nationality code. The revocation comes just ten days after Rajoelina"s impeachment, which was prompted by youth-led protests and a military coup.
The action permanently bars the 51-year-old Rajoelina from participating in future electoral bids. This development marks a significant shift in Madagascar"s political landscape as the country navigates the aftermath of recent upheaval.
