I am not here to bring any report on what’s happening in male because frankly, no one knows what is happening. Yes people did gather, how many on what location for how long, people don’t really know. Anyone who has lived in Maldives will know that its hard to differentiate between the spectators and the participants, so there are lot of discrepancies between the figures. At the same time the number of people who came out does not reflect the support of MDP nor the support of DRP. Those who refrained from coming out is not gauge to measure the support for the current administration. Those who did not come out, did so simply because they were scared of being prosecuted.
The whole thing turned out to be a mega blow for MDP. They played right in to the hands of the current administration. Slowly but surely the current administration is labeling MDP as a terrorist organization with premeditated attempt to over throw an elected legitimate government. Once this gets sold to the international media and organizations MDP will have a hard time convincing that they are not terrorist group. Under the present environment no international media will even think of giving a voice to such an organization. Under the pressure from the current administration the SARC countries might very well label MDP as a terrorist organization. This will be the end of MDP. The articles on DO and other documents produced by MDP and its supporters are written facts that this was a premeditated action to over throw a government. I bet more wepons and other proofs that this is a premediated attempt will be manufactured by the current administration. I wouldnt even be surprised if they even invent a word for terrorism if we dont have one already.
The arrival of Maumoon as a hero a savior was all orchestrated and planned. The current government played the game real smooth. I cant believe the heads of MDP did not see this. Were you all seriously thinking that Maumoon just fled to Singapore and left the country for takers. Or was MDP thinking that by spreading false news they could encourage people to come out. Maldives is different, the people of this country are the most passive peace loving people anywhere on earth, to think that the majority of them will come out was a huge miscalculation. The only way to boil the blood of "dhivehin" is during an incident like last years. Do you seriously think that Maldivians will remember what happened 12 months ago. We forget and forgive very easily, very quickly. So until there is an incident that would naturally drive the masses to gather there is no way people will come out on the street.
MDP is in serious trouble and unless mouth pieces like DO and minivan news get their act together the average people will start to loose trust in them. This is all a PR war between MDP and DRP most the Maldivians under the present leadership left the masses in the dark about what politics is, their right and what it means to be a citizen. If MDP continue to act like this they will loose the PR war easily to DRP.
