Madagascar's presidency condemned an elite military unit's claim to have seized power Tuesday after weeks of anti-government demonstrations and said President Andry Rajoelina remained in office.
"The presence of armed military forces in front of the presidential palace constitutes a clear act of attempted coup d'etat," it said in a statement after the CAPSAT announcement.
"The president of the republic remains fully in office and ensures the maintenance of constitutional order and national stability," it said.
