MADAGASCAR EXPELS FRENCH DIPLOMAT OVER ALLEGED INTERFERENCE.( PHOTO).


 Madagascar expels French diplomat over alleged interference


Madagascar said on Tuesday it had expelled a French diplomat after summoning the country's ambassador, citing alleged involvement in destabilisation activities, AFP reported.


Ambassador Arnaud Guillois was informed of the government's decision "to declare a member of the French embassy accredited in Antananarivo persona non grata, on account of conduct deemed incompatible with his status," the foreign ministry said in a statement, without naming the staff member.


It did not specify the nature of the alleged destabilisation activities, but said the decision followed ongoing investigations involving both Malagasy and foreign nationals.


Alleged plot against transitional president


Tuesday's expulsion follows social media accusations against France, including claims that "French mercenaries" had arrived in the country.


The French foreign ministry denied the allegations.


Transitional President Michael Randrianirina says that demonstrators have received foreign funding to destabilise the country.


Prosecutors in Madagascar said earlier this month that 13 people, including a general, had been charged over an alleged plot to assassinate Randrianirina, 52.


Elections


The interim president has pledged to hold elections within two years.


A transition roadmap published in February outlines national consultations in 2026, followed by a new constitution and a presidential election by the end of 2027.
