Madagascar's President Rajoelina has reportedly fled the country, according to opposition leaders and officials, marking the second time Gen Z protests have led to a government's ousting in recent weeks. He is said to have left on a French military plane after military units defected and joined the demonstrators.

• President Rajoelina departed Madagascar on Sunday, with his current whereabouts unknown.
• Demonstrations began on September 25 over water and power shortages, escalating into an uprising due to corruption and poor governance.
• At least 22 people have been killed in clashes, with three-quarters of Madagascar's population living in poverty.
