Dear Friends: The following is an update on the news from the Maldives which is reproduced from the Independent UK today( 17 02 2012). In another news Independent reports that according to an Indian diplomat the president has agreed to hold early elections to break the political impasse.(not reproduced).
My comment: If everything ends peacefully, it will be a triumph of international diplomcy, India taking the lead. -bhuban The new leader of the Maldives gave the ex-President's party four days from yesterday to decide whether to join a coalition government, hoping the move would end long-standing political divisions. The nation has been in turmoil since the then-President Mohamed Nasheed ordered the arrest of a top judge last month and began losing support from security forces. He was replaced by the former Vice-President Mohamed Waheed Hassan, who is forming a coalition government to stabilise the country ahead of elections due next year.ar Friends: The new leader of the Maldives gave the ex-President's party four days from yesterday to decide whether to join a coalition government, hoping the move would end long-standing political divisions.
