The move occurred despite Yassin appointing UMNO vice-president Ismail Sabri Yaakob as Deputy Prime Minister and major party stalwart Hishammuddin Hussein as Senior Security Minister earlier in the day in order to prevent this. UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says that the decision was due to Yassin's poor handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, with Hamidi specifically singling out the ineffective and contradictory implementation of the lockdowns as the main point of contention. 2021-07-1 505ace4f8258ab62f10f742539d05a92ab1ebc93 /feed/2021/07/1/un-agencies-report-that-due-to-the-food-insecurity-that-has-pushed-about-a-million-people-in-madagascar-the-population UN agencies report that due to the food insecurity that has pushed about a million people in Madagascar, the population has been surviving by eating ashes mixed with tamarind and shoe leather, as the US and South Korea pledged economic aid to Malagasy President Andry Rajoelina. 1625185700 2021-07-1 8eec7b4b558f1a08fbac68b341f8cbc04783f416 /feed/2021/07/1/un-agencies-report-that-due-to-the-food-insecurity-that-has-pushed-about-a-million-people-in-madagascar-has-been-surviv UN agencies report that due to the food insecurity that has pushed about a million people in Madagascar, has been surviving by eating ashes mixed tamarind and shoe leather, as the US and South Korea pledged economic aid to Malagasy President Andry Rajoelina. 1625166421 2021-07-1 b28ad4759f790de822100e52c85d5af05e4bd4c3 6 Andry Rajoelina 1 /feed/2021/07/1/un-agencies-report-that-due-to-the-food-insecurity-that-has-affected-around-one-million-people-in-madagascar-the-popula UN agencies report that due to the food insecurity that has affected around one million people in Madagascar, the population has been surviving by eating ashes mixed with tamarind and shoe leather, as the United States and South Korea pledge economic aid to Malagasy President Andry Rajoelina. 2018-11-28 4dc7e5ecd2ff7a8aef2b329e7857a20562ff6370 6 Andry Rajoelina President of Madagascar 2 /feed/2018/11/28/two-former-presidents-andry-rajoelina-and-marc-ravalomanana-advance-to-the-second-round-due-to-be-held-on-december-19 Two former presidents, Andry Rajoelina and Marc Ravalomanana, advance to the second round, due to be held on December 19.
