Madagascar is commemorating on Friday, September 25, the first anniversary of the Gen Z uprising, which brought together thousands of young people in Antananarivo protesting against water and electricity cuts.
The repression of these demonstrations in 2025 resulted in at least 22 deaths, according to the UN. One year later, the military is organizing the commemorative ceremonies.
However, a portion of Madagascar’s youth has chosen not to participate in these commemorations, highlighting a division regarding the event and its current handling.
