In the midst of attempting to pass a referendum which would instate a new constitution to the island nation of Madagascar, an alleged military coup has occurred. Military officers are stating that all governmental organs have been dissolved and a military committee has been instated. According to the report, the basis of the coup is to secure national reconciliation and for political prisoners to be freed and for exiles to return to the country. According to those now in power, they were tired of the long political process and desired these results immediately. Additionally, this new power claims that due to the polarized and corrupt nature of old Madagascarian politics the people have been suffering. By instating themselves and dissolving the old powers the needs of the people will be met. Only time will tell if this is indeed the case.
