1Madagascar: A Chronology of the Failed Coup According to Tweets
2Twitter updates kept the internet abreast of the failed coup that started on the day of the referendum, November 17. Back in 2009, twitter already played an important role as a medium for real-time updates from citizens about the military takeover.
3Here is a quick reminder of the events in 2009 as read on twitter:
431/01/2009 Rajoelina proclaimed himself President of Madagascar 17/03/2009 Ravalomanana fled the country.Madagasikara: Ny fizotry ny fanongam-panjakana tsy nahomby raha zohina arak'ireo Tweets

6[it can last] 01.31.2009 Rajoelina proclaim himselfs ‘in charge' of the Republic #Madagascar ▸45 days later, 17.03.2009 Ravalomanana leaves the country
7Since then, many people lost their jobs.
8Foreign mediators have tried to point out the issue, trying to work out an agreement between them (Zafy Albert,Rajoelina, Ratsiraka, Ravalomanana).
9The mutual hatreds among Rajoelina and the three former presidents have prevented any real solution and plunged the nation into a deep crisis … deals have been announced, and agreements have been broken down.
