1 August, local time, five current generals, two captains and five non-commissioned officers were arrested in Madagascar on suspicion of assassinating the President. On 20 July, several Malagasy and foreign nationals were arrested for attempting to disrupt public order and assassinating the President. A total of 21 persons have been arrested so far. Local media said police seized two vehicles, seized 900 million Aryarials and a shotgun during the raid, while searching documents related to the action plan.

Madagascar’s president, Rajoelina, born in 1974, is running for president in 2018 and has a high local popularity. However, since the outbreak of the Coronavirus outbreak, Madagascar has faced economic and public health challenges, as well as a food crisis in the southern region in June 2021 due to drought.
