A section of the Malagasy army attempts to overthrow the current government, a plan that threatens the stability of the country. The CAPSAT (Corps d’administration du personnel et des services de l’armée de terre) called on its military colleagues in post to the presidency to abandon their positions and to join the rebel forces. The group also asked the security forces operating at the airport to close the airport completely, which increased the tension in the capital. The CAPSAT controls the main weapons depot of the country, making the situation even more delicate. In a communiqué, the soldiers declared: “Our children suffer, we are not there to kill or attack them. We share the same pain and must support them. We cannot let ourselves be manipulated by money or positions. I’m not sure.
