Wanajeshi nchini Madagascar wamejiunga na raia katika maandamano makubwa kupinga utawala uliopo, hatua ambayo imeibua taharuki kubwa kutokana na nadra ya jeshi kushiriki moja kwa moja kwenye maandamano ya kiraia.
Waandamanaji wamejitokeza kwa wingi wakilalamikia kupanda kwa gharama za maisha, rushwa, na ukosefu wa ajira kwa vijana. Wanasema wamechoshwa na ahadi zisizotekelezwa na viongozi walioko madarakani, huku wakishutumu serikali kwa kushindwa kusikiliza sauti za wananchi.
Taarifa za vyombo vya habari vya kimataifa zinaeleza kuwa ushiriki wa wanajeshi unaashiria kupungua kwa imani ndani ya taasisi za dola na huenda ukawa mwanzo wa mabadiliko makubwa ya kisiasa nchini humo.
Mpaka sasa, serikali ya Madagascar haijatoa tamko rasmi kuhusu hatua hiyo ya wanajeshi, lakini wachambuzi wa siasa wanaonya kuwa hali hiyo inaweza kudhoofisha utawala uliopo na kuongeza shinikizo la kisiasa linaloweza kusababisha mabadiliko ya uongozi.
=====================================================
Groups of Madagascar soldiers joined thousands of protestors in the capital Saturday, AFP reporters said, after announcing they would refuse any orders to shoot demonstrators.
Fresh youth-led demonstrations in Antananarivo drew large crowds in one of the biggest gatherings since a protest movement erupted on the Indian Ocean island on September 25.
After police used stun grenades and tear gas to try to disperse the demonstrators, soldiers arrived at the heart of the gathering near the Lake Anosy area where they were welcomed with cheers.
Protesters called out "Thank you!" to the soldiers, some of whom were waving Madagascar flags, the images showed.
At a meeting at an army barracks on the outskirts of the city earlier, the soldiers said they would not take action against the protestors.
