Madagascar military personnel pack their belongings at the entrance of the presidential palace outside the capital Antananarivo March 18, 2009. Madagascar risked criticism from around the world on Wednesday after a swift change of leaders that flouted the Indian Ocean island's constitution. The military's appointment of opposition leader Andry Rajoelina as president of a transition government followed weeks of violent street protests by his followers and a decisive show of force by the army on Monday.
