Voice of America
Authorities in Madagascar have arrested several people they believe were part of a plot to kill President Andry Rajoelina.
The attorney general’s office issued a statement Thursday saying the suspects were part of a conspiracy to undermine the island nation’s security, including “the elimination and neutralization” of a number of people. The suspects include both foreign nationals and Madagascar-born citizens. The statement said the investigation is still ongoing.Palestinians gather at the site of an Israeli strike on a camp for internally displaced people in Rafah on May 27, 2024.
