Madagascar's President Andry Rajoelina plans a "national dialogue" after youth protesters issued a 48-hour ultimatum following weeks of unrest. Protesters are demanding Rajoelina's resignation despite the recent appointment of army General Ruphin Fortunat Zafisambo as prime minister.

• At least 22 people have died and 100 others injured in the protests, according to the United Nations.
• The protests, inspired by "Gen Z" movements in Kenya and Nepal, began over water and electricity shortages but have expanded to include demands for Rajoelina's resignation and the dissolution of the senate and election commission.
• Protesters rejected the new prime minister's appointment as a "cosmetic manoeuvre."
