AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Russia Ties: Madagascar’s army chief met Russian Deputy Defense Minister Vasily Osmakov to discuss military cooperation, as President Michaël Randrianirina is due to meet Vladimir Putin at the Russia–Africa summit on Oct. 29. Recruitment Concerns: Ukrainian intelligence reports say Russia has extended its recruitment drive to Madagascar, amid allegations that Africans are lured by civilian job offers and sent to fight in Ukraine. A UN commission says people from 29 countries were trafficked into Russian forces through deception or coercion. Anti-Corruption: The president has ordered ministers to explain their anti-corruption efforts on national television, while corruption cases involving a former president and officials have been suspended.
