AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoMadagascar Politics: Opposition MP Antoine Rajerison has asked Madagascar’s High Constitutional Court to remove President Michael Randrianirina, alleging “serious and repeated” constitutional breaches and abuses of power, as protests over stalled reforms and security crackdowns continue. Critical Minerals Watch: Germany’s Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) sent a technical team to NextSource Materials’ Molo graphite mine in Madagascar, assessing whether the site can supply natural graphite and battery anode materials for Germany’s industrial and energy security push. Regional Industry Context: The wider Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi kept spotlighting the same theme Madagascar is wrestling with—processing minerals locally and securing fairer financing for industrialisation—while Nigeria’s Tinubu used the platform to argue the global financial system still blocks Africa’s growth. What’s Missing: This week’s Madagascar-specific coverage is mostly political and minerals-focused; there’s little on manufacturing, energy, or trade execution beyond these signals.
