Oustide Reading February 8

For this outside reading, I am going to comment on a culture different from my own. The title of this article is "23 killed at Madagascar protest." These people were protesting outside Madagascar's Presidential Palace. The people didn't like what the president was doing, so they protested. Reports aren't sure who was shooting. Some say that mercenaries were shooting and others claim the army guards were shooting into the crowd. Either way, it was very hectic. I think that the government could have handled this a better way. Violence didn't have to be used and just caused more chaos.
