The Politics was a test in everyones mind, which made it
difficult to decide to go with things better for the island than better for the
party. Protests were on going, starting from the presidential election followed by the days of Parliament election,
and this situation of throwing out Adam Nasir from Thulusdhoo happend in the
middle. After the Presidential Election, It was
time to vote and elect Atoll councilors and island councilors by the new rules
of decentralisation .
Thulusdhoo is the capital of Kaaf atoll which holds the Kaaf
Atoll office in its arms. Due to the time taken to pass
the rules of decentralisation because of disagreements each day in the
Parliament, government appointed temporary councilors
for both Atoll Councils and Island Councils.
During these times , the majority of
the people were with the opposition party DRP in Thulusdhoo. These were hard times
for Thulusdhoo members of the ruling Party MDP because they were lesser in
number in the island. Due to the lesser numbers of MDP members in Thulusdhoo,
they were often targeted. Vandalism to MDP strongholds were becoming common.
MDP members were often harassed. Politics moved people's minds off the track of
unity because they go to extreme heights to support their party and ignoring
what such actions would do to the future of the island.
A protest broke out in Thulusdhoo
when former President and leader of DRP (at that time) was taken into Police
Headquarters for questioning about Abuse of Power during his 30 year regime.
The protesters demanded the Government-appointed temporary Atoll Councilor to
leave Thulusdhoo and said that he or any other councilors of the Government
would not be welcome in the island.
I wish i cud know who all behind planning this fire. Photos soon..
