As Maldivas estão localizadas a sudoeste da Índia e do Sri Lanka, a cerca de 750 quilômetros do continente asiático. A cadeia de 26 atóis das Maldivas se estende pelo equador desde o Atol Ihavandhippolhu no norte até o Atol Addu no sul.
“...deeply concerned at the Maldives government's continued repression of protestors, including beatings, pepper-spraying, and arrests. Those attacked include peaceful demonstrators, members of parliament, journalists and bystanders.”
“The people are confused. Nobody knows what is going on, except that there are these benchmarks we can see for ourselves. Now we are in limbo. Some people think voting should go on at 11 a.m., as scheduled.”
“According to the government’s statistics, the Maldives has a 100% Muslim population, although in fact small Buddhist, Hindu, and Christian groups do exist and face serious problems of religious liberty.”
“We believe that the only prudent way forward and the solution is for Waheed to resign and the speaker of parliament to take over the government until elections are over.”
“I can assure all Indians that Maldives will always be India's friend and we believe that we cannot find a better friend than India. India has always assisted us in times of stress and even in the future India will assist us in times of stress.”
