Madagascar's opposition leader Andry Rajoelina greets his suppoters in the centre of Madagascar's capital, March 17, 2009. Madagascar's President Marc Ravalomanana handed power to the military on Tuesday after a months-long power struggle with the opposition on the Indian Ocean island, officials said. Officials of Madagascar's opposition movement said Rajoelina, whose protests precipitated the president's fall, would lead a transitional authority.
