Following the resignation of former Madagascar president – Marc Ravalomanana, large numbers of protestants have gathered in the country’s capital in the demand for their leader to return. According to sources, many have been protesting against the newly appointed president – Andry Rajoelina, calling for him to step down in exchange for the former president to be re-appointed.

It has been an issue for the local government since the replacement of the new government last month. Supporters of Ravalomanana are reluctant to accept that their leader has resigned, which later caused much uproar. For instance, the recent protest had caused many supporters to be wounded by gunshots fired from local security forces. It is not understood if the firing was targeted to the sky to fear off the protestants, or had been fired directly at the protestants. Many were injured, including children, while most have already been discharged from hospital.

The protestants have outwardly declared that they will be holding another protest soon to bring across their demand to the government.

Series of tropical thunders are expected to make their landfall in Madagascar late this week.

The two tropical thunders that have been observed are Tropical cyclone Fanele and Tropical Cyclone Eric.

First one to make the land fall would be Tropical Cyclone Fanele, which is spotted at 250 miles southwest of capital Antananarivo, which is currently flowing at 145 Km/hr.
Immediately after the landfall the storm is expected to spread heavy rains and strong flowing winds all across the southwest region of the country. But the reports suggest that the intensity will die down over the week.

When compared to Tropical Cyclone Fanele, Eric is fairly low intensity cyclone which will bring heavy rains for sure but won’t be causing as much damage as Fanele.

Generally at this time of the year monsoons are expected to land in the western Madagascar.
