Madagascar's President Andry Rajoelina has dismissed Prime Minister Eugène Mangalaza two months after he was appointed. The PM will be replaced by Deputy Prime Minister Cécile Manorohanta. It's expected the move will rekindle the country's political crisis, even though exiled opposition members have been allowed to return.
President Rajoelina came to power in March after toppling President Marc Ravalomanana in a military coup. The political crisis that followed was resolved in October with the formation of a government of national unity.
