The Maldives is probably one of the most faithful supporters of Palestine, and our relationship with the people of Palestine goes beyond diplomacy. Maldivians see Palestinians as their ‘Muslim brothers and sisters’ and as long as I can remember there has always been a prayer for the people of Palestine included in our Friday sermons.

Then he faced the unfortunate pressure from within his coalition government when they escalated their demands to annul the GMR concession agreement. He wouldn’t want to make them unhappy, lest he face the same fate as his predecessor. But then, annulling the […]
