At the age of 6 or 7, this little girl is placing soil into the graves of both her mother and father.
The "crime" committed by her parents was that they had kissed each other while filming a video (a "reel") inside a mosque in Saudi Arabia.
Addu Mayor @DhekunuNizar is destroying Addu and I don’t think many people here realise it yet.
Addu has real potential to attract students from every corner of the country by building a bigger campus, proper student accommodation and generous green spaces. It could become a genuine student city, a place that draws young talent, creates energy, supports local businesses and lifts the entire community. But Nizar’s closed mindedness will never allow that.
Instead he is determined to shrink the MNU campus and accommodation to the bare minimum.
Look at cities in Australia, UK, USA etc. Places with strong university campuses consistently outperform those without. They pull in students from across the country and from around the world. That influx brings ideas, spending, jobs and long term growth. Addu could have the same advantage. Nizar is choosing the opposite path.
Why is he doing this? Why reduce everything to the smallest possible footprint and kill the chance for Addu to become a student city? Is it simply cause he hates Muizzu? His short sighted decisions will hold Addu back. People will regret this.
🚨Kylian Mbappé share message Cristiano Ronaldo sent him after France booked their place in the World Cup Semi-finals.
🗣️The first message I received after the match was from Cristiano Ronaldo.
He wrote: 'Congratulations, Kylian. Missing a penalty and still finding the strength to score is what champions do. The greatest players are not remembered because they never failed they're remembered because they always responded. Keep believing. France needs your leadership. Good luck for the rest of the tournament.'
🗣️Receiving that message meant more to me than people can imagine. Growing up, Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't just my favourite player he was my idol. To me, he was like a god. I spent countless hours watching his matches, studying every movement, every goal, every celebration and every sacrifice he made to become the greatest.
🗣️A huge part of the footballer I am today comes from everything I learned by watching Cristiano. His mentality taught me that talent alone is never enough hard work, discipline and resilience are what create legends.
🗣️To receive words of encouragement from the man who inspired my dream is something I'll carry with me forever.
What if the Maldives and Sri Lanka worked together to establish a common regulatory framework and launch a joint venture airline? The governments of both countries could each retain a minimum 15 % ownership stake, while the remaining shares could be offered to private investors through equity participation. This model would combine strategic government oversight with private-sector efficiency and investment.
Such a partnership could strengthen regional connectivity, boost tourism and trade, create new business opportunities, and provide more competitive and reliable air travel options for both countries.
Do you think this model would work?
