I run a small paediatric clinic with occupational therapists and speech pathologists. @bankofmaldives has decided that the national limit has reached & now I can't renew my subscription to my practice management software. 1/3
Every morning, a four-year-old in Villimalé walks to school through a grove of protected trees. Last week, the path was fenced off. Three 17-storey towers are coming. Residents are divided – over what's being lost, and who it's really for.

The audacity to profit off our native vegetation as an aesthetic ✨ while being responsible for the destruction of our oldest funa trees in the last remaining green space in Greater Malé Area. #BMLFail#SaveFunavaa#SaveVillimalé
As President Muizzu told a Berlin audience that coral reefs are "the most effective climate defences," three industrial dredgers were churning up sediment across Malé atoll on a scale visible from space.
Dive sites abandoned. Bait grounds destroyed. And the president calls it "climate adaptation." https://t.co/qq9ypkRp97
More reasons to reject voting failed politicians to @MaleCitymv.
We must STOP anyone from causing so much harm to our life giving nature. The few trees that clean our dirty air are being raided, as air pollution alerts by HPA tells us to take precautions!!
WHAT precautions?
The current changes to the civil service dress code is just another attempt to control every aspect of our citizen’s private lives. It is an encroachment on the rights. The fact that the restrictions are more severe for women is telling - this is an attempt to control and intimidate women away from public spaces.
We are seeing systemic erosion of the fundamental rights guaranteed for every citizen under the constitution. And there is no end in sight.
There is nothing to show in terms of achievements, no meaningful progress on any front. The government continues to move without any meaningful direction or focus. When there is nothing to show, you resort to this kind of intimidation tactics.
At #UNGA, #Maldives reaffirmed its support for the independence & impartiality of @IntlCrimCourt, urging States to cooperate with #ICC; refrain from any form of pressure on it & its officials; & support the Trust Fund for Victims to turn justice into lived reality.

Unbelievable. The Holocaust museum LA *apologized* for sharing a general anti-genocide post, because it might be “misinterpreted” to include Palestinians.
Palestinians are so dehumanized that they’re excluded from “never again,” apparently their genocide is the exception.
Baa Atoll Hanifaru Bay is a UNESCO Biosphere site, world-famous for manta & whale shark gatherings. Just 1km away, govt plans 13 hectares of reclamation for an island of 398 people, risking millions in tourism revenue & a priceless natural wonder. Short-term gain, permanent loss.
The Iraq playbook is back & the media won’t question it.
Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel — on trial for genocide — does. Iran signed the NPT & allows IAEA inspections. Israel hasn’t — & its leaders face ICC arrest warrants.
Beware of politicians beating the drums of war.
This is legit one of the most despicable things I've ever seen.
Miller was quite literally the face of the U.S. covering for Israel, denying their war crimes on the podium day in and day out, all with his characteristic smirk.
And NOW, after tens of thousands of women and children were massacred, he says he actually knew full well he was lying to the public, but that he was just doing his job and following orders (because "one of the things about being a spokesperson is you're not a spokesperson for yourself").
That makes it a million times worse!
I honestly have more respect for actual hardcore Zionists who actually believe in their "cause" than people like this who enable the killing of tens of thousands of innocents knowing full well that it's the wrong thing to do, yet choosing to favor their petty personal career.
And the most cynical aspect of it all is that he is deluded enough to believe that now admitting what he knew all along makes him look principled.
We're seeing more and more cases like his as the scale of the horrors that happened - and are still happening - in Gaza is becoming more and more impossible to deny.
They're nothing more than opportunists trying to salvage their reputations on the graves of those they helped kill. The lowest of the low.
This is what citizens of Addu face multiple times a day, every other day. They have been living like this for years. I hope you take that into some serious consideration as well. Dhivehi rayyithun ulhenee hama ekani Male’ ga eh noon.
regarding my previous posting and questions raised by people, this is not a fresh case. this is a long-standing truth that continues to be overlooked. i have remained patient, hoping for justice, but the silence from those in power speaks volumes.
We've reached an awful and grim moment in #Gaza.
@WFP food supplies inside the Strip have run out, even though there is enough food to feed a million people positioned in aid corridors but cannot reach those in need.
The situation is the same with medical supplies. They are running out, while 16 @WHO trucks wait to enter.
This aid blockade must end. Lives depend on it.
When reaching a higher altitude, the haze layer over the Maldives becoming strikingly clear. You can see a distinct layer separating the air below from clear air above. The haze is from aerosols from Himalayan that moves towards Maldives with easterly winds. Air quality ranged
While I am genuinely grateful to the management and teachers of Jamaluddeen School for choosing to honour me, I am disgusted that they have been pressured into deleting the post by the Ministry. Never seen this level of micro-management and pettiness under any other govt.
I am never reading this publication or any registered news outlet again. And these buggers have the gall to get pissed when people gravitate towards unregistered media outlets. Several parts of the city is underwater without help. Countless vehicles damaged businesses disrupted.
