The President of Madagascar held discussions with French President Emmanuel Macron following the expulsion of a French diplomat from the country. Authorities charged the individual with criminal conspiracy and plotting to sabotage infrastructure, including power lines and thermal plants. Evidence cited by officials includes a subgroup chat titled 'Revolution of the Brave Citizens' which allegedly detailed plans for power cuts and attempts to incite security forces to rebel. The plot also reportedly involved mobilizing young people to create unrest.
