Madagascar President Andry Rajoelina has dissolved his government following deadly youth-led protests stemming from water and power cuts. The demonstrations, inspired by recent protests in Kenya and Nepal, are the largest the island nation has seen in years.

• At least 22 people have been killed and over 100 injured, according to the United Nations.
• President Rajoelina apologized for failures, stating he understood the anger and suffering caused by the utility issues.
• Protesters have adapted a flag from Nepal and used online organization tactics similar to those in Kenya, while police have fired teargas to disperse crowds after a curfew was imposed.
