Madagascar Strips Former President of Nationality, Leaving Him Stateless
Andry Rajoelina, Madagascar's former president, has been officially stripped of his Malagasy nationality by a new government decree, making him stateless after voluntarily acquiring French citizenship in 2014. This action, published just ten days after the military takeover, signifies the downfall of the man who once ruled the island.
Rajoelina's political career now faces restrictions as he cannot contest future elections or hold public office in Madagascar. The move has stirred controversy and unrest in the nation, leading to protests and a significant shift in the country's political landscape.
