Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

Your national ID, your medical records, your bank account, your child’s school file, every government service you will ever touch. All of it will run on the system being built right now under “Maldives 2.0.” Citizens have not been consulted. The full plan is not public. There is no way to comment on it.
Open https://t.co/UBx69t02VM and judge for yourself. The site lists 8 pillars and initiatives like “draft amendments”, “unclear milestones” and “review implementation,” but the document is missing timelines, owners, budgets, and measurable outcomes, meaning no one can be held accountable when delivery fails. This is a table of contents dressed up as a strategy. @presidencymv
Citizens elected HEP @MMuizzu on a Maldives First mandate, the single defining promise this government has to deliver. Yet Maldives 2.0 appears modelled on European digital governance experience, excluding the Maldivians who actually build, operate, and secure systems in this country. UNDP’s June 2025 assessment independently confirmed this gap.
HEP @MMuizzu has pledged that the digital economy will contribute 15% of GDP by 2030. That target cannot be hit by a whole-of-government approach alone, because the government lacks the in-house capacity and no country has ever built a digital economy without its local innovators co-designing it. Without the ecosystem at the table, the outcome is predictable: the Maldives stays an import economy, never becomes an export economy, and never produces a single tech unicorn. The 15% pledge becomes a slogan.
Is this what the government’s own manifesto stands for? Excluding the very builders and talent the ecosystem depends on?
Speaking personally, we have already given up hope. @Synetecs, recognised as Startup of the Year at MSME 2025, is now a Delaware, US-registered startup focused globally. We hold active engagements with global manufacturers, yet at home there is no seat at the table to raise concerns or contribute expertise. This is the last plea: listen, and deliver. We want what is best for this ecosystem. Otherwise we leave, and we build elsewhere.
The fix is not another workshop or summit. Those are photo opportunities, not policy instruments. Publish the draft papers for every Maldives 2.0 initiative. Open a formal public comments window with a defined response period. That is how serious governments build serious digital economies.

Google's proposed workaround for installing unverified apps requires 9 steps, a 24-hour wait, and runs through Play Services, which Google can modify at any time. It hasn't shipped in any beta. https://t.co/TstJqhFUZh #KeepAndroidOpen
9 years ago, we came up with an idea to introduce an Uber-like service to the Maldives using motorcycles. We identified the problem we wanted to solve: vehicle congestion, while also giving people a chance to earn a living since they already own motorcycles. We called it Ride Maldives.
We met @em_saeed and the ministry to demo the app and seek endorsement, given that the service was ready for launch with over 200 male and female drivers on our waitlist.
The next day, the economic ministry released a press statement saying they were starting a new motorcycle taxi service and that companies could apply after a new regulation. We were told to apply.
Transport took almost a year to draft the regulation. They took our base idea but stripped out all the safety measures we had put in place. Despite multiple attempts, they didn’t even want to meet us or get our feedback before gazetting the regulation and opening it up for services.
Since it was already released, despite all our efforts to update it so we could provide a safe service to the public, the transport ministry denied it. So we decided to halt the project completely.
A few months later, a company started the motorcycle service and then stopped for whatever reason. We were later asked to come to the transport ministry for a discussion, and they assured us they would change everything to fit our needs. By then, it was too late, we had already moved on to our next project: LottieFiles.
Bottom line: our idea was to introduce an Uber-like motorcycle service, while the transport/economic ministries were still learning about the concept of motorcycle taxis from Thailand.
Here’s an interesting article written by Avas back then, before government meddling: https://t.co/cKGCvi1KuZ
