????An elite Madagascar military unit, CAPSAT, said Tuesday it had taken power of the Indian Ocean nation after the national assembly voted to impeach President Andry Rajoelina following weeks of anti-government protests. ??CAPSAT commander Colonel Michael Randrianirina read out a statement at the presidential palace suspending the constitution and saying the unit would set up a governing committee composed of officers from the army, gendarmerie and national police. ?? After the announcement, officers from the unit rolled through the capital as crowds lined the pavements, cheering and waving as they passed. Some followed the convoy in their own cars, honking their horns in a victory lap through a city still on edge.
