Youth for change!

It is inspiring, the work of youth to bring a change to Maldives. Today when I walked with the crowd all around Male’, several thoughts went through my mind. The youth of this nation, when did we last hear their voices? I hear my friends talk their minds at coffees, but never in the public. [...]

A shame to Golhaa!

It is a huge slap on Golhaas face when Mr.Adhil Saleem and a senior group of MIFCO endorsed “Wathan Edheygothah” coalition. The fact is there are several other people who would want to let out their frustrations for Golhaa! But unfortunately not all have the courage, because fear still remains. They could not even imagine [...]

What does the 40% mean?

Golhaa was able to secure a 40% in the first round of 2008 presidential election is a fact. Was it a genuine 40% is another topic! But the important thing for the moment is, even if it was genuine, what does it actually mean? People like Nasheed (Kutti) have said that it is evidence that [...]

I am obliged to vote Anni!

Why? Why should I vote Anni in this second round of voting? There are certain reasons why I feel that I’m some what or perhaps completely obliged to vote Anni. First of all, let us forget today and wander our thoughts through the past thirty year history of Maldives. All these years it was a [...]

Qasim, Dr.Hassan & Ibra endorsing Anni!

Congratulations and thanks for endorsing Anni’s candidacy. Like the majority of the Maldivians, I believe that the three of you have taken the wisest decision in order to bring a pure democracy to the Maldives. Now that Jumhooree Party, Adhaalath Party, MNC, SLP and Dr.Hassan are backing Anni, the chance for Maumoon to win the [...]

2+2 = No more Golhaa!

The joke is so famous that even little chaps would answer “manikufaanu vidhaalhuvi gotheh” if you ask them how much is 2+2. But this is about to change, on the 29th of this month we will make a new one which is 2+2 = no more Golhaa! The aim of me writing this is to [...]

Provisional results; a shame to Golhaa

Golhaa, the person who got above 90% in the past six terms, was able to secure only 40.6% of votes. If Golhaa actually had a 90% support there is no way that would come down to a 40% today. And I doubt that he actually acquired this 40% without any rigging. Anyhow the important thing [...]

A moment we have been waiting for!

Today, brothers and sisters, is the day we have been waiting for so long. It has been years we have been waiting for this day, desperately, to change our fate. We often hear that the state of a country does not change unless and until its people want to change it. We haven been waiting [...]

Golhaa exposed!

A crystal clear and detailed report has been published by the auditor general’s office on how Golhaa is misusing his power in order to win the upcoming election. The loans and free cash he is distributing to certain people and his wastes on what-do-we-know-about and what-benefits-do-we-gain projects are immense. If Golhaa had the tiniest love [...]

Don’t be fooled: From dreams to a reality!

Today we are experiencing a transitional period. YESTERDAY we were slaves. Our hands were tied, our lips taped. We were living in a dream. Our informative resources were blocked. We were kept in the dark. We were taught that Golhaa was the one and only person who is capable of ruling this country. We were [...]
