Clean air matters. Living forests matter. Healthy oceans matter. Animals matter. Biodiversity matters. I’m tired of people mocking those who care about the planet. Wanting a livable future for the next generation should not be controversial.

People can’t seem to get it into their heads that without a functioning healthy planet you have no economy, no food, no AI, no wealth, no jobs, no security at all, nothing, that’s it, period, over. Wake up, for fucks sake.

@Meeshyeah As you can see, most young people like to dance and unfortunately nowaydays one can only do it during Eid in the Maldives without being labeled haram. That’s the issue

what do eid celebrations have to do with music shows with the worst dance moves, dressed in the worst way?? whats the relevance and why is everyone still encouraging this 🤢 ދނ މހނ ބނތ މ މރލ

Who moves away when climate change hits? The hidden household politics of migration theconversation.com/who-moves-away…

How did humans get a planet full of fresh air, water, sunlight, food, medicine, animals, forests, oceans, mountains, rain, flowers, and endless natural beauty, and still decide to create war, poverty, debt, pollution, AI, data centers, and taxes?

I often wonder how many species are still not recognized from the Maldives! I bet there are many!

I don’t think people understand the gravity of what we are looking at in this photo. This should infuriate every single one of us.

@Midhuamsaud Small islands would do better to team up with a good solar company and convert to renewables (with emergency backup generators). Maintenance is key. The diesel madness must end.Maldives could be such a great role model as an island nation with renewables and true green tourism 🥺

Let city councils manage electricity in cities and island councils manage electricity in islands. We don’t really need STELCO and FENAKA except as a centralized SOE for Gov to control who gets jobs and procurements.

@QueenmaryMV @ibusolih Dhaftharu peeps are treated so so unfairly! Most came to Malé as small kids, have worked their entire adult lives here … there are so many, I always wonder how Thai issue isn’t getting more attention

I supported @ibusolih until I saw how much the average Maldivians were discriminated. In Male’, dhaftharu category and people who have been living here for 30 40 50 years were deprived of housing meanwhile for the first time a president distributed lands based on blood and giving a royalty elite treatment. He is thevery reason why gap between Male’ and Rajjethere is widened and this cycle of leaching and centralization restarted again due to him which was already dying I will never ever forgive Solih. Most of the people voted against him / MDP because of that. Solih is the reason why Muizzu won, MDP should never ever endorse Solih or his faction ever again

Dear President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, Thank you for restoring our electricity. After hours of melting in the heat, questioning my life choices, and sitting in complete darkness, the lights finally came back on. Your leadership shines brighter than the bulbs we were waiting for.

@STELCOMALDIVES My thoughts are with all the people who are currently stuck in elevators without light and in certainly crazy heat!

@STELCOMALDIVES Only the day a Maldivian Government understands that it has to employ the most COMPETENT and QUALIFIED people for appointed jobs (and not just loyal and corrupt party-aligned people), will the Maldives thrive. Until then, fuck-ups are on the daily menu!

One of the saddest scenes in the modern world is an immigrant apologizing for their accent to someone who speaks only one language.

@AdhadhuMV Soon the Maldives will ask for international donations to "restore the reefs" they themselves killed with reclamation projects and sold out to resort developers

EU to provide 4 million euros for mangrove restoration project adhadhu.com/82086

Im guessing Japan will be less generous in the future. Maldives has received so many gifts and live saving things (tsunami tripods etc). And this is how they handle it. The Japanese must be enraged… rightfully so.

@editionmv 😂 Is the proposed/actual roof also coming soon?

@leyfav3thi @Pohthu Well he chose his SWISS family. Not his Maldivian family. He never cared to pay alimony or look after his Maldivian kids much… but TBH nothing wrong about not risking one‘s life for dead strangers. He is certainly an amazing diver, however as a human, he is highly problematic!

@Pohthu Never compare those who give their day for our tomorrow. So called Shafraz denied the call for help, saying his family is more important. Everyone on social media making statements and conclusions are not right.

These are the legendary pioneers who helped build the MNDF Diving Unit. The training programs and all the effort put into making MNDF divers what they once were came because of these people. After these pioneers stopped leading training programs, MNDF failed to continue progressing. They stuck to what they already knew and learned. They never acquired the necessary equipment for technical diving and still do not have a certified vessel capable of carrying out missions of this nature. Among these gentlemen, @ShafrazNaeem has been directly calling out the heads of MNDF. He gave his expert opinion against initiating the mission without proper gear. He was one of the first to clearly explain the cave conditions and the difficulties that could arise. One wrong move inside could have been disastrous. Now that experts are bringing out more information regarding the cave incident, the so-called “professionals,” especially government officials, have continuously attacked and attempted to tarnish Shafraz’s image. As the DAN team continues the mission, more reasons emerge showing why MNDF may not have been adequately prepared to conduct that dive. Shafraz has also actively criticized the reckless actions surrounding the dive operation. He has spoken using facts that many internationally recognized divers agree with, and he has blamed the government for pushing the mission forward a mission in which his close friend lost his life. According to Shafraz, Mahudhy was among the very best. Even after Shafraz’s tenure at MNDF ended, Mahudhy and he remained close friends and spoke often about diving. People need to stop weaponizing this incident and attacking Shafraz. What we should be doing is holding the government accountable and asking: • Why and how did Mahudhy die? • What was the exact cause? • Was any proper investigation conducted before the quick funeral? • Why was there such urgency? • According to the Maldives government spokesperson @mundhu_maldives , the dive was conducted in pairs, so why did Mahudhy’s dive buddy surface without him? • Why was MNDF pressured to conduct a dive beyond 50m when their operational limits reportedly allowed 50m or less? • Why did @MNDF_Official suddenly lower their diving limits to 30m on normal air when operations beyond 50m had reportedly been carried out before this mission? • Why wasn’t a decompression chamber present on the vessel used for the mission? • When international experts arrived, MNDF assigned ROVs and survey teams why were those not contacted or deployed during MNDF’s original mission? There are still many unanswered questions. The DAN team has reportedly provided GoPro footage and other investigative material to the Maldives Police Service. Ask yourself: will the government ever carry out a transparent investigation into this matter? All of this happened within an institution funded by our tax money. Is this something the public should take lightly? Do you want your money being used to knowingly put MNDF officers in harm’s way? Mahudhy deserves answers. His family deserves answers. The public deserves accountability. @MMuizzu @mvpeoplesmajlis @DANGlobalSafety @DAN_Europe @AJEnglish Team left to right: Mohamed Irfan (Irey) Hamdhan Zaki (Handhu) “Commander” Ahmee Naeem (Brad Naeem) Shafraz (Shaff) Hussain Rasheed (Sembe) Yoosuf Nishar (Oothu) “not on the image”

@Neena2623 bcpp.org/artificial-tur… @HPA_MV 🚨 Most artificial grass used for playgrounds, balconies, gardens and all the futsal and football grounds are highly cancerous! This is turning out to be one of the main causes in many other countries as well where there isn’t much real grass!

It’s time now that the relevant authorities identify the root cause of the sudden increase in cancer cases in Maldives. Within a very short period, 5 cases have been identified near my neighborhood alone. What is the cause of this? Are we importing a product that is causing this

This incident will once again show the difference between a country that truly values human life & dignity and one that does not. The Italian Gov spent resources to hire professional divers to retrieve the bodies of five of their citizens, transport them back to Italy, planning to conduct autopsies, and launch investigations into whether criminal negligence contributed to the tragedy. Meanwhile, when @MNDF_Official CG diver Mahdhy died, he was buried within hours. To this day, the public does not even know whether he drowned, ran out of gas, or what exactly caused his death. It is unclear whether authorities seriously investigated the cause of death at all, let alone whether there was negligence by anyone involved. A human life should never be treated as disposable, especially the life of someone who risked himself in service of the country. Every life deserves answers. Every death deserves accountability.
