2025: year of the fascist šŸ˜‘

Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina on Sunday, October 12, said an ā€œattempt to seize power illegally and by forceā€ was underway, a day after a contingent of soldiers joined thousands of anti-government protesters in the capital. Soldiers based in the outskirts of Antananarivo on Saturday morning called on security units to ā€œjoin forcesā€ and to ā€œrefuse orders to shoot,ā€ repudiating the violent crackdown on youth-led protests that have rocked the Indian Ocean island for more than two weeks.

Nice to see the troops taking the side of the anti-fascist youth out there, good on them ā™„ļø
