Y'all here toxic asf

Maldives’s is destroying one of the most prominent natural wetlands!

There are systems already in place for youth to participate in the decision-making process and raise our concerns on issues at both a local and national level. Unfortunately though, the concerns of youth are just not taken seriously by politicians and the government. We did all we could to inform the public, institutions, and President @MMuizzu about the reality of the “reclamation” project at Moolekede Fishimathi, a mangrove and wetland ecosystem of immense ecological value, cultural significance, and importance to the climate resiliency of our islands. We exhausted all available means – from writing an open letter with our concerns to Minister @Thoriqibrahim that was co-signed by 18 other CSOs and 7 local tourism actors, drafting a petition against the project with 500+ signatures, engaging closely in every step of the EIA process for the project, and to delivering a letter to President @MMuizzu in person just hours before he was set to inaugurate the project during his visit to Addu in November. We made every effort to convey the ground reality to @MoTmv, @ERA_Maldives, @ClimateEnvoyMV, and the Environment & Climate Change Committee of @mvpeoplesmajlis, but our concerns were met with deaf ears. Instead, this project was declared “high priority” by the economic council, which allowed the government to bypasss EIA regulations and the independent decision-making of @ERA_Maldives. Also, we submitted an official complaint to @AdduCityCouncil. After much deliberation, the council voted to pause the project until further assessment and consultation with the releavant stakeholders. The central government overpowered a decision made by our local council and proceeded with the project regardless. What difference would “youth consultations” in the future make if you are ignoring our concerns now? This project was a politically motivated, populist effort that used the challenges faced by residents near the coast to create an illusion of “development.” An excavator burying the environment that has sustained us for time immemorial had come to be the materialisation of “tharagee.”

Reminder: The protest starts at 10AM will go on till 2PM. 📍Ministry of Higher Education. Hulhumalé We are showing up because the state hasn’t. See you there.

Everyone who can go please go 🥳🥳

Excellent protest..... It's been quite a while since I saw an actual protest in Maldives. This shit is such a huge problem, literally everyone knows someone who had an issue with MoHE

Unacceptable that so many students are left stranded without being able to pay their tuition fees, or living allowances owed to them. #occupyMOHE

🚨 PROTEST ALERT 30th dec hulhumalé 10am to 2pm Infront of Ministry of Higher Education. Broken promises. Delayed stipends. Lost futures.Students did their part. The state didn’t. We’re done waiting.

Happy National Youth Day! Eventually, we’ll fix this mess when 😉 (When they’re gone) The Maldivian Life expectancy is 81. Facts are the youth will outlive the aged. We will outnumber them too. I like to believe our generation can fix this mess cause too much damage has been done. Either we fix it or we let it all crumble. Let’s avoid the latter. Let bad habits die with age.

....

See you all on Sat at #igf2025

Our goat Vokatte is at it again

stability is not a good metric to measure the success of a political system
