Maldives: Paradise is Perched on the Edge of Hell
by Praveen Swami
In return for their support, Mr. Nasheed handed the Adaalath party an Islamic affairs ministry, and downgraded the status of state-run programmes to emancipate women. From 2008, a steady flow of Salafist preachers began landing in the Maldives. Even in the face of threats, though, feminists and secular-democrats have mounted trenchant resistance to the religious right. Their struggle will determine the Maldives'''' fate.-- Praveen Swami
