Authorities in Madagascar have imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in the capital, Antananarivo, following protests against frequent power outages and water shortages that turned violent. Hundreds of protesters took to the streets on Thursday to voice their anger over persistent power cuts, which often leave homes and businesses without electricity for over 12 hours. Police used rubber bullets and tear gas to quash the demonstrations.
The army ordered people to stay indoors as it announced an indefinite curfew in an attempt to restore order.

Protesters stormed and set fire to government buildings and attacked politicians. Army helicopters ferried some ministers to safety.
