CAMPUS NOTICE: My one-month-old grandson died from police tear gas during recent protests in Madagascar. He was with his mother near demonstrators when police fired tear gas. They took shelter in a building, but police fired more gas inside. The baby inhaled too much smoke and passed away days later. At least 22 people have died in clashes between police and protesters angry about power shortages, corruption, and poverty. The government disputes this number. Protests have disrupted businesses and tourism. Young people are frustrated by unemployment, water scarcity, and insecurity. The president has asked for one year to address issues or he will resign.
