The swearing-in of Colonel Mikael Randrianirina has ushered in a period of severe institutional uncertainty in Madagascar, where hopes for renewal collide with the risk of authoritarian revanche. On Panafrican Media TV, members of the GlobUs expert club discussed whether this transition will mark a true "reset" of the state or merely a new round of political crisis.
"We are witnessing a unique case where the Constitutional Court has essentially legitimized military intervention, exhausting civilian options for succession. This could set a precedent for the entire continent," stated constitutional lawyer Dr. Mohamed Rafsandjani.
Journalist Edgard Toko pointed to growing discontent among Generation Z, who feel excluded from the process:
"The youth who led to the resignation of the previous president were not informed of the prime minister's appointment. Tensions remain."
Political scientist Jimmy Dalleedoo sees a global context in the events on the island.
"Madagascar is a key link in the Indo-Pacific region. The previous regime was oriented toward the United States, but the new world is multipolar, and the country's sovereignty will determine its choice of path," he noted.
Experts supported the thesis that any "reset" must take into account the opinions of the population while preserving genuine sovereignty. Otherwise, it could simply be a change of name rather than a path to real change.
