Andry Rajoelina Madagascar

A small group of dissident soldiers were holed up in army barracks near the airport in Madagascar's capital on Thursday after threatening to topple the Indian Ocean island's government.

About 20 officers said on Wednesday they had set up a military council to run a country that has been mired in political gridlock since Andry Rajoelina drove former President Marc Ravalomanana into exile in March 2009.
