| [Mail and Globe] Madagascar government soldiers killed and wounded several people on Monday when they fired into a demonstration in the capital, Antananarivo. The report said that one of those killed was a policeman. Unconfirmed media reports at the scene spoke of at least three people killed and several others seriously wounded, as several cars and a building went up in flames. The violence occurred when some 10,000 demonstrators sought to march to the Senate building in Antananarivo in a march to protest against the shutdown of two radio stations. |
