Yet Another Blow for the MDP and its Disinformation Machinery
The MDP’s disinformation organisations such as Maldives Aid and clandestine websites such as Minivannews.com (run by David Hardingham, the leader of the MDP’s international wing) and Dhivehiobserver.com (run by MDP council member Ahmed Shafeeq Ibrahim Moosa) have faced numerous ‘technical’ difficulties this past week.
The main reason being that the International Community and Her Majesty’s Commonwealth, welcoming the Maldivian President with open arms.
Olhuala.com reported earlier this week that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II honoured President Gayyoom numerous times during the CHOGM held at Malta last week.
Further to this Mr Gayyoom was invited to make a statement on behalf of all the Asian countries during the last session of the Head’s of Government meeting.
Analysts believe that this gesture from the Commonwealth is in fact a further endorsement of President Gayyoom by the international community. It is not surprising that the MDP’s disinformation machinery have not come up with a viable argument to discredit the long serving Maldivian President in the light of these recent developments. In the past these websites claim that people have been bullied, threatened or bribed by Mr Gayyoom in order to make such positive statements about him. It is unlikely that the international community could be bribed or threatened by such a small and insignificant country such as the Maldives.
Are we to believe that the international community would have welcomed President Gayoom with open arms if he were a dictator and a tyrant as these websites claim him to be? It will be obvious to anyone with a bit of common sense that the international community would not have done so if this were the case.
In actual fact, President Gayyoom is well loved by his people, and has earned a great respect from the international community over the years owing to his work on creating awareness on sea level rise and the danger this phenomenon poses on low lying nations like the Maldives. President Gayyoom was re-elected for a sixth term in office in 2003 with over 90% of the vote.
The majority of Maldivians are appalled by the vicious lies the MDP is spreading about the well loved President through numerous channels such as their above named clandestine websites and other means. MDP spokesperson Latheed (GOGO) recently embarked on a trip to Europe in one such effort. His youngest daughter accompanied Latheef. The father-daughter duo sought several meetings with key figures to ‘convince’ them that Gayyoom was a dictator.
Olhuala.com has learnt that, the actual motive of the trip was to find a way to release Latheef’s eldest daughter who is serving time in jail after being convicted at a Maldivian court on terrorism charges.
In the light of these events questions on the legitimacy of the MDP and its motives arise. It is a well-known fact that the MDP has organised several violent riots in Male’ during the last year (Jennifer Latheed was arrested for acts of terrorism during one of these riots). It is also known that the mastermind behind these acts of violence is none other than (Sikka) Ahmed Ismail Maniku (convicted on 19 counts of murder, and terrorism in 1989, and sentenced to death, later pardoned by Gayoom).
It is becoming more apparent that the MDP is actually a ‘front’ used by Sikka and his family, namely his nephew Nasheed (Anni) the current Chairman of the MDP and Nasheed’s father Keneri Abdul Sattar who is a well-known wealthy businessman and terrorist. Keneri Abdul Sattar, conspired in 1974 to assassinate the then president of the Maldives Mr Ibrahim Nasir, with the help of would be assassin Abdulla Luthfee. Abdul Sattar and Luthfee smuggled in a firearm in an effort to shoot Mr Nasir as he was travelling home from his offices. The competent National Security Services of the Maldives foiled the plan. Luthfee was also convicted in 1989 on 19 counts of murder and for terrorism and sentenced to death as one of Sikka’s accomplices, and was later pardoned by President Gayyoom.
Olhuala.com calls on the international community and Maldivians alike to draw conclusions on the legitimacy and the hidden motives of the MDP and it’s financial supporters after carefully considering these undeniable truths.
