@Midhuamsaud Small islands would do better to team up with a good solar company and convert to renewables (with emergency backup generators). Maintenance is key. The diesel madness must end.Maldives could be such a great role model as an island nation with renewables and true green tourism 🥺

Nasheed formed the MDP and beat a 30 year dictatorship. He left when the dregs of dictatorship came back at him and ultimately defaced the party.

Nasheed was jailed and world leaders joined to save him. They got him out of Maldives prison & gave him safety. Since then, multiple assasination attempts against Nasheed have gone unresolved.

Expelling half the party membership on the lie of retrospective legislation finally forced him to leave.

A decent MDP National Council will one day formally apologize to Nasheed.

Great news for British shoppers and Maldivian fishermen. The UK is suspending tariffs on tuna, helping bring prices down in the UK while opening better market access for Maldivian tuna. A win for affordability and sustainable tuna, caught one fish at a time. 🎣🐟

The dissolution of Atoll Councils marks a concerning shift away from elected atoll-level representation. Local development must remain accountable to island communities, guided by representatives chosen by the people they serve. not centralized administrative structures.

On 28th September 1959, President Abdullah Afif Didi of the United Suvadive Islands wrote this letter as a formal reply to the Maldivian Government, sent via the Maldivian Government Representative in Ceylon.

It outlines the reasons why the people of Addu Atoll (and later Fua Mulah and Huvadhoo Atoll) declared independence on 1 January 1959, citing exploitation, heavy taxation without services, withheld wages from RAF Gan work, and neglect by the central government in Malé.

Should Maldives move toward non partisan local council elections?

In many high quality countries such as Switzerland, Canada, New Zealand, independents run for local council elections. In many US states also its like this.

Cause local issues aren't ideological.

Roads, rubbish collection, zoning, parks, day to day service delivery etc. Party labels add conflict where it’s not needed. Local governance is best if it's community led, not party led. That's what those countries believe. That's why you see independents running for councils in those countries.

[Mohamed Nasheed @MohamedNasheed]

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.

This will go down as a dark chapter for the government, one that will haunt it for the rest of the term.

[Minister of Homeland Security, Labour & Technology @min_mohst]

On 17 November 2023, when this Government assumed office, only 13% of migrant workers in the Maldives had biometric records, including all 10 fingerprints and facial recognition photographs, stored in the Government database.

This was not just an administrative gap. It was a major national security vulnerability.

Authorities often had no reliable way to verify identities during enforcement operations if individuals did not possess documents. In many cases, we simply did not know who was in the country, where they were, or whether they had entered and remained legally.

Over the past two years, under the direct leadership and vision of President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, the Government launched one of the most comprehensive migrant regularization and biometric registration operations in Maldivian history.

Today, that figure has increased from 13% to 98%.

This is a transformational achievement for the Maldives.

For the first time, the country now possesses a near-complete biometric identification database for migrant workers, significantly strengthening:
• National security and border control
• Law enforcement and immigration enforcement capabilities
• Prevention of identity fraud and illegal employment
• Tracking of undocumented migrants and overstayers
• Public safety and crime prevention efforts
• International confidence in the Maldives’ migration management systems

This achievement also places the Maldives among countries implementing modern biometric governance standards recognized internationally for secure migration management and identity verification.

Operation Kurangi and the wider migration reforms undertaken over the past two years demonstrate what can be achieved through political will, institutional coordination, and relentless hard work.

Exactly kurusee…
I’m also shocked. I don’t want any more damages from me to Anni. So ill back off from this toxic campaign. & if its a faya campaign count me out.

An attack on this man is an attack on many of us, including myself. He is one of the most principled men in the opposition and Maldives. His message has been consistent.

We respect this man. @waddey_

Five years ago today, a bomb exploded in our neighbourhood in an attempt to kill a friend. He narrowly survived. What still surprises me is that those around him including political associates who held the highest positions in government failed to seriously pursue the motive, identify those behind the attack, or prevent it despite advance warnings. I still believe any genuine investigation must begin by asking who stood to benefit most from his death at that time.
