The maldives, a popular tourist destination and location with a crystal-clear blue sea owes the indian Army an unpayable debt. The only nation to save the maldives during its worst crisis was India. maldives is presently presenting india with its eyes. Ministers from the maldives are making contentious remarks about our nation. The uproar is growing as a result of the ministers from the maldives using foul language. Only 600 kilometres from the indian border, the maldives are up against opposition on all fronts. On social media, calls for a boycott of the maldives have also begun.
We will recount the entire tale of the Maldivian coup. There was gunfire everywhere, from the airports to the government building, which the opposition had taken over. Ministers were being held captive, and the president was holed up in the safe house. The maldives asked for assistance from nations all over the world, but none of them stepped up, until india pulled the country out of this dire situation.
Where did the Maldivian coup begin?
There are 1200 islands in the maldives group. It is an island nation that is situated southwest of india in the indian Ocean. Similar to india, british rule was here as well in the past. On July 26, 1965, the maldives gained independence from british domination. The monarchs dominated this area for three years after that. 1968 saw the founding of the Republic of the Maldives. The maldives elected Ibrahim Nasir as its first president. Five years later, elections were held once more. For the second time, Ibrahim Nasir assumed the presidency of the Maldives. However, the Maldives' economy encountered a severe crisis in 1975. The state of the economy was getting worse all the time.
The predicament in the nation worsened after the Maldives' lucrative fish export industry was shut down in the Sri Lankan market in 1976. Nationwide demonstrations against Nasser's policies erupted. President Ibrahim Nasser left the nation when he ought to have been figuring out how to handle the situation. If accounts are to be trusted, Ibrahim Nasir is claimed to have fled to singapore in 1978 after taking millions of dollars from the nation. The state treasury was used to withdraw this million dollars.
