Madagascar's President, Andry Rajoelina, called on Monday, October 13, to "respect the current Constitution" during his first public statement following the military's alignment with protesters challenging his authority over the weekend.

In a live broadcast shared on social media but not aired on Madagascar's public television, Andry Rajoelina stated he was in a "safe place" after an "attempted murder", without providing further details on his location.
