Maldivian Spring has begun:

The beginning of the Maldivian Spring

Today Maldivians are witnessing a popular uprising against the Government. Maldivian Spring has begun.  Eighty per cent of the population in Maldives now wants a change in Government. There are many reasons for this; Nasheed came into power promising the people democracy and freedom of speech and the outgoing President Maumoon Abdul Gayyoom who was forced to sign the new constitution has gave the Maldivian citizens freedom of thought and speech and brought in democracy for all citizens of Maldives.

However, today the people President Nasheed thought would guide him and give him good advice has taken the opportunity to take advantage of the new power they have got and has rupted the government into corruption never ever seen in thousand years in Maldivian History even when the Kings were ruling. Close aides and party top shots of MDP has siphoned out state funds and taken bribes from state public enterprises. This has forced President into a “catch 22” situation.

If he goes against the cronies and party top shots they are ready to dump him. (A party coup once cropped up and Nasheed managed to crush it). Hence the only alternative he has to allow the party top brass to get corrupt and keep his fingers crossed in the hope that he could bluff his way through the 2013 elections.

This strategy is very naïve of President Nasheed. He is counting on the armed forces and the police to protect him against the citizens. The top Brass of both the Armed Forces and the Police have been given massive amounts of cash to build their houses and take luxurious vacations on state funds.

Hoping to win the support of the citizens, President Nasheed unveils a medical scheme for all Maldivians. But little did he realize that the citizens are today smart enough to understand the short comings of this makeshift medical scheme. On the whole the scheme would face it own demise in 10 months due to unsustainability.

In spite of all these dazzling stuff to dwindle the citizen like a rattle snake, shaking its rattle. The Maldivian citizens have figured out that this is a real snake. And the overwhelming majority of people are now fed up of this undemocratic president Nasheed. 

As a result  Nasheed cronies are now attacking the free media and the intelligent opposition lawyers for exposing  the corruption and mismanagement of state funds. Nevertheless, victory is for the true citizens of Maldives. 

The Madman of Maldives

Article forwarded by Moosa Ali/Udheresvilla, Male

Why should we Maldivians ever want to support Mohamed Nasheed (Anni)? Just take a deep breath and think for a while my fellow countrymen. He came to us the name of freedom promising to bring true democracy, instead took us from the frying pan and put us into the fire.

I have ten sentences that will describe the evil President Nasheed has brought upon us:

1. The economy has been ransacked and has hit rock bottom. We will all feel the pinch.
2. Nasheed and his activists enjoy on the hard earned money of the citizens collected as taxes.
3. The social terrain has been torn apart.  Friendly neighbors are now enemies, the good manners have been replaced with hooliganism and gansterism.
4. Criminals jailed for murder and violent crimes are released from jail to streets to terrorize the people.
5. Security has been replaced with insecurity, now after dusk Male city turns into a violent may heaven for nocturnal people in MDP camp smoking pot and hashish.
6. Law and Order has been substituted by chaos and disobedience to the law, keeping the Armed forces and Police under his control, he directly disregards the court rulings and parliament’s deliberations.
7. Nasheed Uses the Armed Forces to scare warn independent media and involve in acts beyond their jurisdiction. He instructs Police not to arrests the MDP gangs that terrorizing the citizens.
8. Issues orders to disrupt tourism which is the only major source of revenue to the Maldives
9. Aids and abet corruption and misuse state funds, pay parliament members from state funds to pass his regulation
10.  Looks upon the citizens as the enemy and defame Maldivian in the international arena.

Do you deny what I have said? the list is long and endless. The question I have to all good Maldivians is;  Is Nasheed worth to be our President for a minute?  You decide certainly I will not give any support to this Misled Madman.

Serious Abuse of Diplomatic Protocol by the Maldivian Government

http://www.scribd.com/doc/70126249/Cir-139

Uploaded: 10/24/2011

Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Ahmed Naseem

MDP Chairman
Mr. Reeko Moosa Maniku

The state of mind of the members of MDP Pollitt bureau is evident from this document uploaded to scribd.com on 24^th October 2011. It is a fabrication by the MDP Government Ranks and is a blatant abuse of Diplomatic Protocol that tantamount to nothing but forgery and abuse of authority.   This ploy by the MDP was covered with a letter supposedly from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  Although it was not printed on the Official Letter Head of the Ministry, the official rubber stamp of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the signature of the Foreign Minister Ahmed Naseem were on the letter.

Minister Naseem and his family had been involved in the plots to overthrow the government in the coup attempts of 1980, 1983, and 1988 the latter which was the worst that Maldives ever say in modern history, the November 3^rd Attack on Maldivian Sovereignty with the help of Tamil Guerrilla that were fighting for a separate homeland in Sri Lanka.  Raised to ranks by radical President Mohamed Nasheed (Nephew), Naseem still seems to maintain his deceptive and murky mindset even on issues of national concern.

Little do the Minister and the Pollitt Bureau of the MDP realize that involving and thus implicating International Organizations like the UN and the UNDP in their national political pranks and tomfooleries fall short of civilized behavior expected of ruling parties and governments.  On the other hand it is not strange for a person like President Nasheed with the brain set little more than that of a teenager, to advice and motivate cronies to engage in discreditable activities such as demonstrating against the very judiciary handpicked and appointed by him, and publish documents and posts on the internet such as that referred to above.

Whilst there is little understanding and appreciation for the petty Political pranks and tomfooleries of national political parties within the UN framework, I am sure the UNDP and the family of UN organizations, condemn such acts. The simple justification that anyone could have done it is insufficient, when the signature of the Minister and rubber stamp of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs appear on the covering letter to the document, the responsibility clearly lies on the Government of Maldives to find those perpetrators and stop such stupid and unqualified acts by senior officials of the Government. Given these harsh realities this Government could only be portrayed as been run by a bunch of Eighth Graders on summer holiday in Maldives.  

Is this how we citizens of Maldives want our country and government to be perceived as? Everything is in disarray, our social fabric to our Economy, and now Diplomatic protocols and practices are being abused and falling apart.  To all the Maldivian Voters I say, Let us all call this Holiday frenzy to an end and get serious.  2013 is up around the bend, and we should use fair judgment and rational thinking in selecting our next government and its leaders.  Dire and desperate as we may be, and tired and overwhelmed by the long and difficult five years under MDP rule, do not get taken away by their CASH for the a VOTE program to remain in power for another term.  ENOUGH IS ENOUGH; we shall play by the written rule not the rule of the MOB or MOB DRIVEN PARTY’s such as MDP

Anni hidden character exposed

Before coming to power Mohamed Nasheed promised the world to the Maldivian people. He portrayed himself as a true democrat, many learned Maldivians believed this fox in sheep skin and they sacrificed their money, time and energy and did all they could in all honesty to bring down the thirty year old regime in the hope of having freedom and democracy. One year down the line the fox in sheep skin was exposed.

Just in the nursery fable, when the little Red Riding Hood asked the fox who was in her grandmother’s bed, “what big teeth have you got Grandma”, the fox replied, “All the better to eat you”. Addressing a group of supporters in Alifushi, Anni gave an astonishing exposure into his character he said “when my party people come for help I will help them, but when people not in my party come to me, I will show them how mean and cruel I would be, and they wouldn’t even imagine that”.

This phrase alone lost the parliament vote for MDP. Subsequently Anni the president has been endlessly battling to execute those people, who did not vote for him, and he hasn’t succeeded in doing so to date. The battle rages on with advisors from Britain, Israel and India to no avail, just only failures.

Trying to control the independent institutions to a greater extent have succeeded. But still the very judiciary which was selected by him now working for justice is moving against his mob centered strategy. It reminds me of the 1930 in US when the mob was virtually ruling cities like Chicago and New York. There is absolutely nothing different, here in Maldives its Asians and local settings. Strategy is the same. 

Adolf Hitler Reincarnate
President Mohamed Nasheed
of Maldives.

The Maldivian people, waiting to get hold of this half cranky, character Anni with no sense of shame or respect to the very people who voted for him. Behaves and acts as though he is the reincarnate of Adolf HITLER.  Little does he realize that this small tiny soul was once on the streets of Maldives getting bashed and dragged like a weak mouse, acting the tyrant now with the backing of the Police and Armed Forces of Maldives? It is only a matter of time; the citizens of Maldives will be moved beyond the breaking point. Then no sea would be deep enough, no wall will be high enough, no army would be strong enough to stop the anger and the wrath of Maldivians with blood on their chests, despite the wounds will march forward to bring down the tyrant and his armies.

Beasts of the Dives - Ahmed Shaheed Dr.

The Poem from Dr. Ahmad Shaheed (Special Rapporteur)

"Ahmed Shaheed Shall we then sing Beasts of England my way? :))

about an hour ago 

Beasts of the Dives, Oh! Beasts of the Islands,

Beasts of every island and clime,

Hearken well and spread my tidings

Of the golden future time (fat hopes)

Soon and late the day is coming,

Tyrant Man shall be overthrown,

And the fruitful fields of dives

Shall be trod by beasts of burden alone

Rings shall vanish to be placed by the mob,

Taxes on our back, exempted for the mob,

Bit and spur shall rust forever,

Cruel whips shall be cracked by only the mob

To make the Rich more we’ll tax the poor,

Feed the poor oats and say a fib,

Clover, beans, and mangel-wurzel

Shall be ours upon that day (not

Dreaded will be the fields of the Dives,

Mucky shall its waters be,

Bitterer yet shall blow its breezes

On the day we set the mob a free

Till that day we all will ploy,

Though we die before it breaks;

The beasts of burden like geese and turkeys,

All must toil, whilst we relish our freedom

Almost 2013 Election

It is very unlikely that a single political party will manage the first round of voting in Maldives this time on. Success in the 2013 Elections will depend on the party that manages to come out with maximum tie-ups and alliances. It's a reference to tie-ups that are productive and generate votes, not those that are unyielding and burdensome where the probability of undesirable result tend to be high.

MDP is quite correctly described as the (Most Distrusted Party) in the Maldives in the article “What is the Political future of our country?” and by the way I like that acronym. Two players that would matter in the forthcoming elections are DRP and PPM. Limping behind these two parties, slandering and defaming their way down the 2013 election lane would be MDP solo without any allies.

For a better understanding of our rationale, we need to look at the grouping that made up the second round of voting in 2008



The MDP coalition on the Second Round Voting in 2008





The DRP coalition on the Second Round Voting in 2008



Do you see the difference that the Mighty Coalition against DRP managed to secure? it's only 8.33%. DRP then led by President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom was a popular party indeed.



First Round Voting Results 2008

 

DRP	71731	40.34%
MDP and Gaumee Ethihad	44293	24.91%
Gaumee Party (Hassan Saeed)	29633	16.67%
Republican Party	27056	15.22%
Islamic Democratic Party (Umar Nasser)	2472	1.39%
Social Liberal (Ibrahim Ismail)	1382	0.77%

The analysis of the first round results tells us an interesting story. From the figures above, it is very evident that although DRP was singled out to be thrown out of office on the second round of voting. The percentage of votes secured by the coalition working together in the second round was only 5.31% more than the sum total of the votes the managed to secure working separately in the first round of voting.   And on the second round, the MDP coalition of all the political parties managed only 8.33% more than what DRP single handedly secured on the second round. This is a point to note, in support of our argument regarding 2013.

Looking at the facts and figures in retrospect, we can establish the true gauge of MDP today and predict the 2013 election. First, we acknowledge and value the contribution of alliance members such as Dr. Hassan Saeed, Mr. Gasim Ibrahim during the second round of voting.  Together they commanded 31.89% of the votes in the first round.  So take away the contribution of these two alliance members, MDP was left with a true value of 21.76% a near approximation of its round one run value of 24.91% of which 3.15%  could be attributed to as Gaumee Itthihaad (GIP) Dr. Mohamed Waheed Hassan Maniku contribution.

 In 2013, the table will be turned around.  MDP has failed to be accepted as a viable government it is seen as a party that has not matured and not maldivianised enough to govern this country. MDP failed to understand that we are protective of our religion and country.  During the known 800 years of written history of Maldives, our forefathers have died and martyred for Islam and these islands we call Dhivehi Raajje.  Here is what an insider of MDP said “We shall stand against all forces from within and without that determines to split our nation in the name of development”. 

People still feel and fear the sense of insecurity that governed us over the years and to a great extent true even today.  The Nasheed Administration changed fear factor methods from corporal punishment and imprisonment to economic seclusion and social onslaught.  It wouldn’t be wrong therefore to say that the vast majority of our population suffers from Stockholm syndrome .

MDP boasts of an increased membership since they came to power.  These signatures were given in return for material benefit and social security guarantees; it is not a guarantee of a vote.  MDP insiders believe that it has only 19000 voters that are willing to vote to keep the party in power.  The rest of the signatures are only on paper. The realization that MDP has taken us several years back in time fifteen years, if not ten, is something for which many people will avenge MDP in 2013.
