Weeks of protests held in Madagascar drew to a close last week as a military leader was sworn in as the new president.

It came after young people mobilised, demanding an end to power cuts and water shortages. The protests grew bigger, with the United Nations saying at least 22 people died, which the previous government disputes.

BBC journalist Sammy Awami, who was in Madagascar during the unrest, joins us to explain what these protests were like and what the new leader is promising to young people.

We also hear from protester Virgilus, who explains the frustrations he and his peers have and how they are feeling about the future.
