Some news outlets are reporting that security forces in Madagascar have stormed a military base outside Antananarivo, the country's capital, where dissident soldiers who attempted a coup three days ago have been based.
These reports are early, but it is clear that prayers are needed for the people of Madagascar.
God, we pray for our sisters and brothers in Madagascar. Keep them safe. Turn them away from violence. Guide them in the paths of peace. Lead them to do justice for all the people. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
