After several years of struggling and confrontations, few days back we, the Maldivians, have ousted a dictator peacefully by casting our votes against him. Today as Maldivians we are to celebrate and enjoy this victory. Although several people have had tough and rough times during the past years, we should know that Golhaa was ousted easily compared to how dictators usually fall! As we celebrate the end of a dictatorship we also need to remember that it is a new era of democracy ahead. We should not forget the energy we had put into this cause. If we forget, we might not be able to taste the sweet fruits that would be beard by the seed we are planting at this very moment.
We ought to remember that, the president of Maldives still is Golhaa, and he will be the president till the 11th of November. And only after that, Anni would start ruling this country as the president of Maldives. What I want to say is that there are several people in a rush to see and witness the promised changes. The people of this country have had enough and it is natural that they would want to see several changes with a new president in office.
However, patience is something we will have to get used to. During the past five or so years, we surely have had learned the importance of patience. And today, when we have achieved a main goal, that is ousting the dictator, we still need to be patient. If we are in a rush slowly insanity will takeover sanity, and force us to push the new government beyond its limits. We should believe that this country could not be ‘repaired’ in just a couple of days. It has been under constant deterioration for the past thirty years!
It required the support and courage of every single Maldivian to oust the dictator, and we still have major roles to play in order to feel the comfort of a pure democracy. We should know that there are people who do not want this to happen. There are people who want to be in power no matter what it takes. There is no doubt that such people, just in a few days, will try to corrupt the reformist minds into believing that the new government is unable to deliver its promises. And when that happens, we will have to be sane enough to know that one day or one year is not enough to turn this country into a heaven!

Congrats to all who voted for Anni
Finaly Maldives lives happily ever aftr
Anni angered people by treating golhaabo too nice.
those who got angry just dont know that it is democracy to treat former presidents with respect.
I think that when the transition of power happens golhaabo will have to face justice.
