Geopolitical Conflict

Madagascar military leader dissolves government in March 2026

Madagascar's transitional leader, Colonel Michael Randrianirina, dissolves the government by dismissing Prime Minister Herintsalama Rajaonarivelo and the entire cabinet, triggering political uncertain

In March 2026, Madagascar's transitional leader Colonel Michael Randrianirina dissolved the government by dismissing Prime Minister Herintsalama Rajaonarivelo and the entire cabinet, marking a new phase in the country's prolonged political crisis initiated by the 2025 military-backed transition. The move reflects deeper tensions among elites, growing militarisation of the regime, and contestation over the transition roadmap. Civil society groups and opposition actors have expressed concern that the leadership's actions may undermine promised democratic reforms and elections in 2027. The geopolitical implications are significant as external powers, including Russia, China, India, and Western states, compete for influence over Madagascar's strategic maritime routes and mineral resources, raising the risk of fragmented foreign dependencies.
