Too bad. He was the first democratically elected president there,....ever.
Isn't the
Maldives where a couple flew there to get married on a tropical island beach, and the muslim officiating the wedding, instead of reciting the agreed wedding vows in arabic, chanted arabic swear words, betting they wouldn't understand enough to notice?
Isn't that also where an isolated native tribe, (the guys who actually owned the island first), are being exploited?
Also isn't this president the same guy who wrote you must be an adherant to islam to be a citizen in the islands constitution?
And wasn't he also a UN plant, who crashed the
Maldives economy pursuing the "green" economy?
I feel bad for the Maldive people for the unrest, but it is really hard to tell who is the good guys here.
I was hoping to visit there someday, now I'm thinking of maybe giving it a pass for a while.
