Madagascar Expels French Diplomat Over Destabilizing Activities

Madagascar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced the expulsion of a French diplomat accused of involvement in destabilizing activities in the country. This decision was conveyed after summoning the French ambassador to Antananarivo.

According to an official statement from the ministry, Arnaud Gilowa, the French ambassador, was informed during a meeting at Madagascar’s Foreign Ministry that the credentials of one member of the French embassy in the capital have been revoked.

Officials from Madagascar stated that this action follows investigations into the alleged activities. As of the time this news was published, no further details about the nature of the accusations against the diplomat have been released.

Relations between countries are governed by diplomatic conventions, and revoking credentials or expelling diplomats typically occurs in cases of serious political or security disputes.
