6th Day of the Protest, International medias like Aljazeera in the Maldives covering the event

People have started again tonight for the 6th day of the protest. This is never going to end unless the government listen to the concerns of the people. People doesnt want Maldives to reclaim lands and do huge expenses at a time where the country dont have any money.




On one side the president wants Maldives to be one of the best model for Carbon Neutral, this doesnt come free and a lot of money is involved. While at the same time, the president of Maldives wants to give projects to huge companies sell our islands and make miracles over here which costs a lot of money again. he have launched a project names THE EYE OF MALDIVES on a near by lagoon, which is estamated billions of dollars and at the same time reclaiming land from Thilafushi (the island which has been allocated for industrial use). The tender for this project was given to Mr. Nasheed's party MDP's parliamentary group leader Mr. Moosa Manik. Last but not least. a company named MEGA MALDIVES has been formed by the person who was appointed by  the president at head of Foreign investments. He is the brother of Maariya Ahmed Didi (Chairperson of MDP).



At the same time, the government has implemented huge taxes on various sectors while the wages of government employees was reduced and the prices of essential goods has increased due to the immediate increase of USD rates. The president of Maldives makes decisions in an overnight while the local small and medium businesses are not aware of this at all. Meantime, the public hits everything so fast that the people were forced to come out on the roads and ask answers for what is going on.
