Madagascar's President Andry Rajoelina said in a statement on Sunday that "an attempt to seize power illegally and by force" was underway in the Indian Ocean island state, a day after some soldiers joined a vast protest movement that started last month. The mutinied army unit announced it was taking control of all military forces in the country.
