This incident will once again show the difference between a country that truly values human life & dignity and one that does not.
The Italian Gov spent resources to hire professional divers to retrieve the bodies of five of their citizens, transport them back to Italy, planning to conduct autopsies, and launch investigations into whether criminal negligence contributed to the tragedy.
Meanwhile, when @MNDF_Official CG diver Mahdhy died, he was buried within hours. To this day, the public does not even know whether he drowned, ran out of gas, or what exactly caused his death. It is unclear whether authorities seriously investigated the cause of death at all, let alone whether there was negligence by anyone involved.
A human life should never be treated as disposable, especially the life of someone who risked himself in service of the country.
Every life deserves answers.
Every death deserves accountability.
In Dec 2024 🇯🇵 gifted to 🇲🇻 @MoDmv@MNDF_Official Coast Guard, maritime communication systems, professional diving gear, and search-and-rescue equipment, such as portable recompression chambers, for advanced operational needs. Hope it was useful in the recent operations
Many of the palm trees I see on the islands are not healthy. When I asked why, I was told, “At first, a white substance appeared on the palm trees, later turning into a black oily paste that drips onto other plants and spreads.” Sadly, it has already spread across the Maldives. The disease doesn’t only affect the leaves; it spreads through the trunk as well. This is deeply worrying for the entire coconut palm population, and it’s happening right before our eyes. The government must act.
A very happy 100th birthday to the legendary conservationist Sir David Attenborough — who has done more than perhaps anyone to highlight the joys and wonder of nature and call for its protection. It was an honour to be featured in your ‘heroes’ episode of Planet Earth III.
H.E. President @MohamedNasheed brought democracy to the Maldives as its first democratically elected President, and became one of the Commonwealth's most recognized voices.
Honored to have him on our International Advisory Board.
