Madagascar’s New President Follows Traoré’s Path: His First Major Project Targets Power Crisis

In the heart of the Indian Ocean, Madagascar stands at a historic turning point.
After two decades of crippling blackouts, a soldier-turned-president — Colonel Michael Randrianirina — has vowed to bring light back to his nation.

On his first day in office, he did what few African leaders have ever dared: he went straight to the heart of the country’s biggest crisis — the Jirama Amwe Manambola Power Station.

This is not just a story about electricity — it’s a story about leadership, youth, and Africa’s awakening.
From the Gen Z protests that toppled the old government to the bold reforms now unfolding, Madagascar may be writing a new chapter in Africa’s political history.

Will Randrianirina truly deliver power to his people, or will his promises fade into the dark like so many before him?
