Silence Of The Maldivians!

Remember, when people meet and the joy it brings us with happiness wrapped like a smile. If the meeting is outside then even the bill is split equally and everyone takes home their share of memories. Oh! The happy times but Alas! We aren't talking about any of this stuff in Maldives. Here 'Jalsa' means mostly a meeting called by a political party and the word 'Bill' brings with it the fear of another law being framed to trap Maldivians.

Now a days , musical evenings are organized with free coffee, posters informing people about the next Jalsas are actively shared on social media and our Govt. is rapidly introducing life threatening bills like the criminalization of defamation in the Majlis. At present there are two groups in Maldives, 1. who don't want anyone's voice to be heard and 2. who despite of all odds, want their cries for freedom to echo in the world. Though, there is a third group too, they are the numb ones, these people are still trying to neglect the ongoing crisis in the country and refuse to take a decision by taking a stand. These people have closed their eyes and are thinking that somehow all these bills,scams,rallies, Jalsas will not effect their cocoon of dreams. But they are wrong! Because they are the ones who are both the suppressed and the suppressor. By remaining silent after watching the atrocities of this foolish government, the numb ones are taking the dictators side and by not fighting for their rights , they are also being victimized by the greedy ministers in the name of law and welfare.

What do these people think,  Have they thought , why are their so less hospitals,schools,jobs or lets say who will be paying all the loans taken by Pres.Yameen in the name of Mosques, Hospitals,Runway,Bridge etc. Who do they think will protect them when gangs will roam freely on the streets of Maldives. (Do they still expect police to do so) Who will be providing them clean drinking water or will pay their rents ? Will the Government do that? Don't they want to know about the money that has been given as bribes to the Ministers or how did Pres. Yameen acquire so much funds to organize his presidential campaigns at such a large scale? Who gave him all that money and why?no future in Maldives? That why there are no prominent opportunities other than for tourism in Maldives?

Today, I won't answer these questions as I want each reader to answer it for themselves. As present is when no Maldivian can ignore this situation , when everyone needs to take a stand . No matter what it is but there has to be a black and white in Maldives.

So either go to a jalsa or read about the latest bill introduced in Majlis but decide and support whatever you think is right according to YOU!!!

When Dictatorship Couped DEMOCRACY!!!

Looking at my news-feed on Twitter today , I felt disgusted. There were stories about an innocent man abused in a Mosque, more leaders being arrested for stupid reasons, mysterious murders and the same old corruption games by our President. The annoyance of not being able to change things took a toll on me. Being a self acclaimed social media warrior , its the first time I felt that its not fruitful. Yes, it helps us in reaching out to people but if it doesn't change something on the ground then its useless.

At present our country is in a political made disaster . We all are screaming hard but not loud enough. They are just a handful greedy people due to which we all are suffering. My question is that after so many disclosures of corruption, murders etc, Why are we still comparatively calm?

I remember when PPM sponsored a coup against Mohamed Nasheed . How these PPM goons came so aggressively on streets. How they raised their voice against democracy. The memories are fresh, when dictatorship couped democracy. It was a black day for Maldives which followed only darker days afterwards.

According to me, we all should learn from them. Their compassion for destroying our country should be our passion to save Maldives from these beasts now.

Until and unless, we won't forget about our personal problems and fight for Maldives, we won't be able to live freely. This country is not PPM's estate where they could do anything according to their wish. But unfortunately, our president Yameen is doing exactly the same. So, the decision is yours now whether you want to continue complaining or to be the change that will save Maldives!!!
