Madagascar opposition says they have taken over power from President Marc Ravalomanana on Saturday.
Madagascar's opposition leader Andry Rajoelina, who claims to have taken power, attended an earlier anti-government rally in the capital Antananarivo where thousands joined him.
He has support from the military who have demanded the resignation of the President.
135 people have been killed and many injured in the riots for the past seven weeks in the struggle for power.
Rajoelina, was earlier sacked as the capital's mayor, went underground for fear of being arrested.
