Ruling coalition’s attacks on international community “irresponsible”: Thinvana Adu

Thinvana Adu, a coalition of Maldivian NGOs, have sent an open letter to the country’s political leaders, including President Dr Mohamed Waheed Hassan, voicing concern over what they describe as “irresponsible” allegations made against international bodies seeking to mediate in the current political dispute.
The open letter argues that assistance from the international community is vital in consolidating the rule of law in a young democracy such as the Maldives.
In response to strong criticism of the role the Commonwealth is playing in Maldivian politics from some political leaders, Thinvana Adu has argued that international interest and concern in the Maldives is normal and should not be perceived negatively.
“Instead of fostering hatred among the people toward the international community, the Thinvana Adu group urge the government, stakeholders, and political actors to strengthen relations with international community to achieve sustainable development,” the letter said.
