Placards against France surfaced in demonstrations against impeached President Andry Rajoelina this week AFP Placards and slogans against France that surfaced in demonstrations against impeached President Andry Rajoelina this week exposed deep resentment against the former colonial power. "France out", "Rajoelina and Macron out", said banners after French media reported that the president had fled on a French military plane as an army unit threw its weight behind protesters calling for his resignation. "They are still colonising us even though we are supposed to be independent," said Koloina Andrianina Rakotomavonirina, a 26-year-old engineer.
