The Russian Embassy in Madagascar has reported that the situation remains tense due to ongoing anti-government protests on the island, which have persisted since September 25. According to the embassy, while no demonstrations have disrupted law enforcement forces recently, political confrontation continues. No recent requests from Russian citizens for assistance have been noted. The embassy also advised Russians currently in Madagascar to avoid the capital and maintain contact with the embassy in emergencies. On October 11, reports suggested President Andri Radzuellina might leave Antananarivo after the army refused to confront demonstrators, though this information remains unconfirmed.
