Madagascar's president, Andry Rajoelina, announced an attempted coup by the elite army unit CAPSAT, which has claimed military control amid youth-led protests against his government. Rajoelina condemned the coup attempt and called for national unity. The protests, which have resulted in at least 22 deaths, are the largest since unrest began on September 25. The situation remains tense, with Rajoelina's whereabouts currently unknown and Air France suspending flights due to security concerns.
