Maldivian President Abdulla Yameen declared 15-day emergency
deepening political crisis in Indian Ocean nation
sweeping powers to arrest and detain suspects
tense standoff between Supreme Court and government
president refused to comply court order to release political prisoners
Yameen asking (Court) to reverse decision
second time Yameen declared emergency
last in Nov 2015 after attempt to assassinate him
country's legislature suspended indefinitely
Supreme Court restored 12 MPs who defected from Yameen's party
effectively handing opposition majority in 85-member parliament
president vulnerable to impeachment
My comments : Another country biting the dust.
On the plus side, the Maldives are not sinking into the ocean - because the sea is not rising due to global warming, climate change, greenhouse effect, ozone layer disappearing etc etc.
