Embattled President Andry Rajoelina has dissolved parliament ahead of a planned impeachment vote

It is unclear where he is, but on Monday he made a live broadcast to the nation on Facebook from a “safe place”

This comes after weeks of protests led by a group of young people known as Gen Z Mada

A senior army general says the security forces are working together to maintain order

A powerful army unit threw its weight behind the protesters, weakening Rajoelina’s grip on power

On Sunday he said that an attempt to seize power was under way
