As soon as she was released he became inactive. Then last year he came back to sabotage MDP grassroots level support for Anni. When it did not work he left and went along with Jumhoori Party. His brother gave a committment to Maumoon to keep Gogo quiet, if he is made ambassador in BangladeshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620041777082716757.post-1349669907288015752008-11-04T17:45:00.000-08:002008-11-04T17:45:00.000-08:00This is so biased.

But as soon as the initial giddiness wears off, the hard work will begin and this initial euphoria will quickly wane. Why? Because the inertia of the system will throw up road blocks at every attempt at changing the status quo and any initial changes will be modest at best and will not live up to the high hopes and expectations of his supporters.<BR/>Nevertheless, only if supporters are patient and feel morally obliged to continue their support will anything substantial come of it. It is important to keep the faith because the complexity and depth of the problems created by the last administration are enormous and only time, patience and a high level of personal sacrifice will ever bring them to a resolution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620041777082716757.post-8466570942313243962008-11-04T02:59:00.000-08:002008-11-04T02:59:00.000-08:00Mr.Farooq, this s truth, thanks a lot. some people...Mr.Farooq, this s truth, thanks a lot. some people have 'zaathee hasadh for anni', but u express truth n fact, m young guys who saw how difucult situation anni was live.

And ofcourse they couldnt have done it without the ithihaadh leaders but if you read this article carefully it does touch on all the sides. ONly thing is Maumoon was a dictator all the way , no one can deny that, except DRP. we will see many leaders in the future we will see very competitive fights thanks to all the sacrifices from the ithihaadh and our freedom loving journalists and careful planning by reformists inside the government.

Now you people have guts to call your former boss a dictator while people like hassan saeed and shaheed recognized it and left the dictator which ultimately lead to further fragmentation of the regime.

Many journalists/writers before him did a lot, suffered a lot to bring about democracy.Anni's special success was his ability to mobilize resources for this cause. Resources from within and without.And he was lucky that so many of our people(Hassan Saeed,Shaheed, Jameel,Gasim,Ibra,UmarMullah Bari and Mullah Hussain Rasheed etc) they all wanted to succeed Maumoon and win the powers. they did not have the time to organize their campaign and party.MDP had brand recognition and organization on each island.Time was not on the side of these great leaders. since thre was a second round written in the constitution(Ibra's intelligence) every one had to , was forced to unite under Anni who with only 25% was second placed. <BR/>Anni's greatness will be judged in how he keeps the coalition going beyond its only real purpose{toppling Maumoon). His next greatness will be in taming the Talibanite Adhaalat and steering Maldives towards real democracy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620041777082716757.post-6482959345007301982008-11-03T10:26:00.000-08:002008-11-03T10:26:00.000-08:00The analogy of the catalyst here is very interesti...The analogy of the catalyst here is very interesting. If Anni is the catalyst for change, I wonder is he the right choice for the President.<BR/><BR/>Who will mobilize MDP to get as many as possible parliamentarian for the up coming general election.<BR/><BR/>Is there anyone else in MDP who can bring people on board as Anni did.<BR/><BR/>To continue this catalytic reaction, its crucial balance is very important,either way it might end up, if the reactants are imbalanced.<BR/><BR/>The reaction which has taken place now is not a balaced equation,without many assumptions.<BR/><BR/>This is really weak reaction as the catalyst is dependent on many factors here.<BR/><BR/>Lets see the cabinet Anni has chosen, for example Adam Manik without proper education to challenge the global economic crisis currently facing. Is he the right person to be a trade Minister. Anni has advocated, this country needs educated young people to run the country for challenges of 21st century.
