Ahmed Shaheed called on India to invoke R2P on Maldives

For many Maldivians and many others an abbreviation such as “R2P” meant nothing.  It could have meant anything from “Raised to Power” to “Rent for two people” and “Resolutions to problems”. It could have meant a whole lot more. Who would believe it meant “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P). Dr. Ahmed Shaheed in a tweet made on September 26, 2013  said “CMAG must suspend the Maldives from CW n request India to invoke R2P! Ahmed Shaheed.” @ahmedshaheed  

Ahmed Shaheed

He is better known in Maldives as a dubious and unstable personality involved in the evolution and the demolition of systems, the setting up and derailing of processes and the establishment and dismantling organizations.  Prior to his appointment as Foreign Minister, Dr. Shaheed served as Government Spokesperson to President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom. MDP accused him of being the chief "spin doctor" for President Maumoon. 

He co-founded the New Maldives movement and spearheaded the Gaumee Party that sealed the fate of the Gayoom Administration.   On August 21, 2007, Shaheed resigned as Foreign Minister ahead of a second due motion of no-confidence against him tabled in the Majlis.  Gayoom was defeated in the October 2008 presidential election, his successor Mohamed Nasheed, reappointed Shaheed as Foreign Minister in November 2008. Shaheed faced a no confidence motions against him again.  He resigned as Foreign Minister for a second time, to avoid shame from a motion tabled in the Majlis against him, as Foreign Minister in Nasheed’s Government.  He was succeeded by Ahmed Naseem and remained in office until Nasheed’s Resignation on February 7, 2012. 

Shaheed’s career as a diplomat exposed him as much as he got exposure. He learned the diplomatic and Foreign Service language.  Shaheed was never received well by peers and his contemporaries.  Dr. Hassan Saeed’s comment on his onetime colleague and running mate during the 2008 Presidential Race was “He cannot be trusted. Shaheed always had his personal vested interest before anything on every agenda”.  Saeed attributes his failure to rise up to competitive levels to Dr. Ahmed Shaheed. 

Sources close to MDP and fmr. President Mohamed Nasheed maintains that Dr. Ahmed Shaheed’s assignment abroad as UN Rapporteur to Iran came during a much needed time. Iran refused Dr. Shaheed. They believe that Dr. Shaheed’s idle status within the government was creating disturbing scenarios.  One official who did not want to be named said “I am happy he is out of Maldives. We were having tons of problems with this man around. He is MAD “Mutually Aspired Destruction” Thank God he is out of the way”

Nasheed too was swift to move Dr. Shaheed out of the way and out of the country.  Now operating from afar, Shaheed still tries to be a factor in Maldivian politics.   This particular tweet was supposed to trigger an upheaval and reaction from the government.  The Government wisely played it down.  Few local online news media picked up the tweet, but did not meet expectations. 

Shaheed Rapporteur Special for Iran.
he was refused entry visa to Iran 

Shaheed never had an in-depth understanding of the term “R2P” and perhaps that is why he “request India to invoke R2P!” Perhaps he never realized that calling on a foreign government to invoke R2P tantamount to a call for occupation?  It is an act of treason and such people are considered traitors. 

A decision for R2P is taken by the Security Council after lengthy deliberation.  R2P focuses on preventing and halting four crimes: Genocide, War crimes, Crimes against humanity, and ethnic cleansing, which is placed under the generic umbrella term of “Mass Atrocity Crimes”. 

The R2P has three "pillars"

1. A state has a responsibility to protect its population from genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and ethnic cleansing.

2. The international community has a responsibility to assist the state to fulfill its primary responsibility.

3. If the state manifestly fails to protect its citizens from the four above mass atrocities and peaceful measures have failed, the international community has the responsibility to intervene through coercive measures such as economic sanctions. Military intervention is considered the last resort.

If the collective decision of the Commonwealth Ministers Action Group (CMAG) was to be a wee bit foolish than that of Ahmed Shaheed’s , then the CW spearheaded by the Canadian Foreign Minister, CMAG may consider putting Maldives on their “Agenda” again.   Whilst the possibility exists, it is noteworthy to state that such a move would force Maldives to decide pulling out of the “neo-colonial Club.”

  

Recently, commonwealth has been displaying an uneasiness to remove its colonial overcoat and overcome the pompous attitudes of the past. Recognizing this, the leader of the tiny West African nation President Jammeh quit his country’s membership of the Commonwealth.

Commonwealth is not a popular organization among the people of Maldives.  President Gayoom made the decision to join, to satisfy his ego and pride getting photographed standing beside the aging Queen.  What benefit did the common Maldivian get from been a member of the Commonwealth no other practical purpose. For all good intensions and purposes Maldivians should opt OUT NOW. 

His R2P call to India is nothing but a display of Shaheed ignorance and his petty state of mind.  The Indian Government is fully aware of the terms and obligations and its scope 

The second marriage ended in disaster

Shaheed continues to consolidate the conflict within him as he had to go through the difficult and uncertain days.  Maldivians are calling on the government and immigration authorities to strip Dr. Shaheed off his citizenship and recall the travel documents and NIC issued to him.

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
