Anti-government protesters in Madagascar held fresh demonstrations on October 1, 2025 and called for a general strike, seeking to force President Andry Rajoelina to step down, after nearly a week of action by the youth-led movement. Police shot tear gas at protesters in the centre of the capital Antananarivo, although life had mostly returned to normal in the rest of the city.
