seize

Madagascar's President Andry Rajoelina on Sunday said an "attempt to seize power illegally and by force" was underway, a day after a contingent of soldiers joined thousands of anti-government protesters in the capital Antananarivo.

Others say the conditions warrant the provincial government stepping in and seizing the whales.

Democratic gubernatorial rivals in California’s 2026 race for governor seized on the videos.

That fight came to a head in April, when fears of a sudden stop to the global economy caused the Treasury market to seize up.

That saw the rise of Rajoelina, a former DJ and then the mayor of Antananarivo, who seized power in the aftermath.
