Nasheed on Indian prime minister announces US$1.4 billion assistance to MaldivesI am very happy with the recent developments in the Maldives. The ousting of the last President was by no means certain. But it happened. Well done to all concerned people. I am delighted with the decision to open a British High Commission in Male. It will benefit education and culture in the Maldives. Britain is a fantastic country. I am a Maldivian Briton although I live in Finland. It is also excellent news that Maldives is going to rejoin the Commonwealth. Maldives missed a lot because it was not a British colony. Now we can catch up with others who were under the British. Great news that Mohamed Nasheed has been freed of terrorism charges and he is going to fight for a seat in the next Parliament. Well done Maldives and Maldivians. Take care.
Michael Fahmy (not nickname) on Ex-president Nasheed launches campaign for parliament seatIn the present political climate in the Maldives, it is unwise and even foolish for Adeeb to try to start or join a completely new political party which does not even exist as yet. The best course of action for him will be to try and clear his name through the judicial system of Maldives, and then join one of the already established political parties.

Make the finding public on any site or domain available throughout the nation and ensure transparency. Ensure those which have gained from corrupt dealings are fairly prosecuted again in open debate. This will will be the real test of legitimacy of the new coalition.
honesty on Translation: Solih administration’s ambitious 100-day agendaBad person, china puppet, anti democray, ruined maldavies economy
na on Outgoing president refuses to attend inauguration ceremonyMay 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.
