    this is not wat is happening in the maldives. I myself as a Maldivian believe that this is a very much one sided report. Do you people know that before the current govt came to power islanders have to get visa to come to male’. Thats how low the islanders were treated. MARIA IS HIPPIE who wont be elected next time..ZAKI is an acohol addict.. I believe it would be better to see where the oil money goes in qatar and try to interfere with your own countries matter.. same old stupid arab terrorists
