Bad person, china puppet, anti democray, ruined maldavies economy

May I warmly congratulate the new Maldivian President Solih. I was also, like Solih, born in Laviyani Atoll, in the island of Naifaru. My parents were both from the island of Naifaru. Until her death, my mother spoke Divehi in Naifaru accent and dialect. Solih was born in Naifaru's nearest neighbour island. I understand that Solih is related to Mohamed Nasheed by his marriage. I had another kind of Male connection. I was brought up in Male and my father worked there.

I can't wait to see the detail!

HEE CEE AMJADHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Kabul is not safe for human. How could a shadow can fun by frightening FENBO Chairman.

After a long fight the democracy won. And its a big lesson to all the law makers and and law breakers that a proper law should be framed or else it will fire back at later stage.

Can you also put photos of them when they were arrested. im curious if they had the beards or not.

We Maldivian don't expect any honest ruling from supreme court.Maldives supreme court is most corrupted in the world it's a extension of dictator criminal thug regime.

Indian government is doing this purposely to control Maldives. They want us to be considered as a part of India and that's not going to happen in million years. We will not bow to "Gow Mathaa" even if we have to die without treatment...

Democracy has not taken root in the Maldives and Yameen is clearly bent on hanging on to power. The future hangs in the balance and the judges are again in a political mine-field and spotlight. Maldives has a long journey.

"Peace and tolerance" Hahahaha!

It doesn’t matter how many high ranking world voices share concerns they have no direct influence in the Maldives ‘on the ground’, other than declare the Maldives a dangerous destination and advise their nationals not to visit. This is not likely to be done in unison or by a majority of Nations, especially China who would welcome increased influence in the Indian Ocean by taking a contrary attitude. As a regular commentator since 2012 I did not join the jubilations on seeing Yameen lose the election nor think a change in this country was imminent. Just examining Yammeens behaviour over the few years should have been enough to make anyone realize that the only way to remove Yameen will be via a coup as democracy ceased to exist since he took office illegally. I am afraid its buiness as usual.

no one is talking about the flat forms! There are many people who got the flats under corruption! Wht about the rightful people who got less than 40 points ! They were judged based on the first page of the flat form! No one read the information which was written at the second page! 'The haalathu' was never undergone! Yet! Claiming the rightful citizens should get just 40 or 30 while the people who have houses and flats got more than that! Wht justice is this?!

ACC and HDC officials are most corrupted.With incoming government there planning to loot housing plots from Hulhumale.There too much worried if Yameen distributed all housing plots to poor needy people's nothing will be left for them to steal.

Maldives all ACC officials to be tried on corruption put them to jail for life imprisonment. All this time they never open mouth about YAG. How now they got mouth? ££££££

The south Asian leaders mostly prone to corruption can be a easy bait

The cards were printed with support from International Organisation for Migration (IOM). not ILO.

GREAT TO KNOW THAT Mr. GASIM IS RETURNING BACK TO THE MALDIVES HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET HIM IN PARADISE ISLAND RESORT SEVERAL TIMES. A GREAT BUSINESSMAN AND HAS GREAT INTENTIONS TO WORK AND IMPROVE MALDIVES INFRASTRUCTURE AND TOURISM SECTOR.

ALWAYS LOOKING FORWARD FOR Mr. NASHEED TO RETURN TO MALDIVES HE IS THE ONE WHO TRIED HIS BEST TO KEEP MALDIVES A DEMOCRATIC AND FREE COUNTRY GOD BLESS HIM AND SHOULD KEEP HIM SAFE ON HIS RETURN TO MALDIVES

Most interesting and surprising developments in the Maldives are taking place at great speed. Solih, the president-elect has much to think about. Yameen is going and not going at the same time. Mohamed Nasheed is going to try his luck etc.

They have long filaments on the dorsal fin that look like sea-jelly tentacles. Tim Godfrey (on behalf of Rudie Kuiter, Author Fishes of the Maldives, Atoll Editions, 2018)
