Madagascar's young rebels have achieved their goal of toppling the government, but at what cost?
President Andry Rajoelina fled the country after weeks of widespread protests by Gen Z activists, who were determined to bring about change. Colonel Michael Randrianirina took control and declared himself president, sparking concerns that the new administration may not represent the aspirations of the very group that led the revolution.
The question on everyone's mind now is: has the coup overshadowed Madagascar's Gen Z revolution? The answer remains to be seen, but one thing is certain - the protesters' dreams of a better future for their country have been put on hold.
As the country teeters on uncertainty, many are left wondering what the young rebels truly want. Did they just want to oust the existing government or did they genuinely aim to build a more just and equitable society? Only time will tell if Madagascar's Gen Z revolution has been reduced to a mere coup d'etat or if it can still deliver the change that its people so desperately crave.
The swift transition of power has also raised questions about accountability. Will Colonel Randrianirina's new administration be transparent in its decision-making and willing to listen to the voices of those who fought for this revolution? Or will the country once again become mired in corruption and authoritarianism?
The international community is watching with bated breath as Madagascar navigates this tumultuous period. With billions of dollars pledged in aid by Western countries, it remains to be seen if these promises will translate into tangible reforms that benefit the people or just maintain the status quo.
As the country struggles to find its footing under Colonel Randrianirina's rule, one thing is clear: Madagascar's Gen Z revolution has been a defining moment in the nation's history. Whether it can still deliver on its promise of a brighter future remains to be seen, but for now, one thing is certain - the young rebels have sent a powerful message that their voices will no longer be ignored.

. the young gen z activists were so passionate about creating real change, and now its like their goals are being put on hold. colonel randrianirina's transition of power seems pretty swift, but is he really going to be transparent and listen to the protesters' voices? that would make all the difference 
Like, what's the point of even having a revolution if it just gets hijacked by some power-hungry military colonel?! 
The young Gen Z activists who risked everything to bring about change are now left wondering if their dreams were just for show... 
It's like, did they really think that taking down the government would automatically solve all of Madagascar's problems? 
Newsflash: it doesn't work that way! 
Like, where's the accountability?! Are these billions of dollars just going to be squandered on more fancy buildings and fat government salaries or will they actually trickle down to the people who need them most? 
We need to hold our leaders accountable and demand real change, not just some token gesture at reform... 
they've been through so much already with climate change and poverty & now this 
it's like they're being pulled in 2 different directions. The Gen Z revolution was all about change but did it just get hijacked by the military? 
I'm really worried that Colonel Randrianirina's admin won't listen to the people who fought for change... that would be so frustrating 
maybe this is a chance for Madagascar to create real reform? 
Colonel Randrianirina might be all smooth talk at first, but how long before he starts pulling the strings himself? And what about those billions of dollars from Western countries? Is it gonna be a free ride for the new government or will they actually make some real changes that benefit the people? 
Like, they took down the gov and all but now Colonel Randrianirina is in charge & ppl r worried he'll just be another corrupt leader 
Guess we'll just have to wait and see if Colonel Randrianirina's new admin is actually going to bring about change... or just more of the same 
.
. Did they really consider what would happen after they took power? 
. The international community is watching closely, so let's see if the aid pledged actually makes a difference 
THE QUESTION IS, WHAT WERE THEY REALLY FIGHTING FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE? WAS IT JUST A COUP OR DID THEY TRULY WANT TO CHANGE THE STATUS QUO? 
. Like, I get it, change is hard and all that, but can't we just try to build something better instead of tearing it down? 
It's like, the kids were trying to make a difference, but now they're stuck in the same old cycle. And what about the international aid? Is it just gonna be more of the same, or can we actually see some real progress? 
... And what's with the international aid? Is that just going to go straight into Colonel Randrianirina's pocket or will it actually be used to make some real changes?
