    1. We are committed to breaking with the past.
    2. Our main mission is to thoroughly reform the country's administrative, socio-economic and political systems of governance.
    3. It wasn't a coup, it was a case of taking responsibility because the country was on the brink of collapse.
    4. What is new about this generation is how connected to the world it is thanks to social media. It can compare what is happening elsewhere by going online. And unlike previous generations, young people today have not been politically censored. Their slogan is, 'We are rising up for our children's land.' They want change.
    5. We are taking power from today and dissolving the Senate and the High Constitutional Court.

    1. The movement was inspired by crises it saw on social media, like what was happening in Nepal [and Morocco]. But we must not forget that having electricity and running water is already a privilege most young Madagascans don't have.

    1. They reshuffled the chain of command to ensure things didn't [escalate] after the police and military fired on each other on Saturday.
    2. Against this backdrop, water and power shortages fuelled outrage that pushed political mistrust to its limit. The connection between the people [of Madagascar] and its politics was already fraught, but now it is completely destroyed.

    1. Where these (protests) had died down, the perceived successes of the youth in Madagascar may serve as a reference point for those who were either losing steam or simply second-guessing their intentions to embark on sustained protests.
