As Andry Rajoelina, Madagascar’s president, fled the country earlier this month, before generals seized control of the island nation, he may not have had time to take in the sight of a flag held aloft by protesters bearing the symbol of a skull-and-crossbones wearing a straw hat. Demonstrators from Generation Z, who have rattled leaders from Nepal and Indonesia to Morocco, Peru and now Madagascar, have rallied under the same image, taken from a Japanese manga featuring a group of misfits fighting a corrupt and oppressive regime.
本月早些时候,在将军接管这个岛国之前,马达加斯加总统安德里•拉乔利纳(Andry Rajoelina)逃离了该国,他或许都来不及看见抗议者举起的一面旗帜——上面是戴着草帽的骷髅与交叉骨。来自Z世代(Generation Z)的示威者——他们从尼泊尔、印尼到摩洛哥、秘鲁,如今又到马达加斯加,已令各地领导人不安——一直在同一图像之下集结。该图像取自一部日本漫画,讲述一群“异类”对抗腐败、压迫政权的故事。
