Antananarivo: The government of Madagascar announced the emergency measure in response to a worsening energy situation, making it the latest country to take urgent action amid global disruptions.
Officials cited the ripple effects of the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran as a key factor contributing to the crisis, with energy supply chains facing significant strain.
The 15-day emergency declaration is expected to enable authorities to implement immediate measures aimed at stabilizing the country’s power sector, manage consumption, and mitigate further disruptions.
