Ras Malé deal exposes Muizzu treating our sovereign country as private land for sale
2 އޮކްޓޯބަރު 2026 | ހުކުރު 09:32The government is facing significant backlash over the long-term leasing of land to foreign corporations under the Ras Malé project, a move critics argue poses a threat to the nation's sovereignty and economic autonomy. Further, there are profound concerns that such actions could undermine social and religious harmony, with many Maldivians viewing this as an infringement on the rights of future generations

Across every major sphere of national life, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu is methodically eroding the country.
As his government aggressively advances the Eagle Hills undertaking, disclosures show that a blacklist has been drawn up containing 15 Maldivian citizens whose sole offense was speaking out against the initiative.
Punishing locals simply for voicing dissent represents an outright assault on basic constitutional rights to speak freely. Rather than championing the legal protections of its own populace, the administration refuses to intervene on their behalf.
The regime appears obligated to shield the corporate agenda and leadership of Eagle Hills, a key figure with established Zionist loyalty. The unmistakable proof lies in the non-stop social media barrage launched by individuals drawing salaries from the president, encompassing cabinet ministers and chiefs of government-owned companies, who continuously shield the developer.
Popular consensus holds that this relentless digital defense stems straight from the head of state himself.
Selling out sovereign territory to outside interests
The current trajectory demonstrates how the incumbent has crippled financial stability, compromised independent authority, and relinquished precious public territory to a multinational firm.
Gifting hundreds of reclaimed hectares to outside operators across multi-decade deals has nothing to do with genuine progress.
Such moves equate to surrendering domestic autonomy and delivering the destiny of the islands into outside custody.
Erasing national identity and importing conflict
Compounding these risks, opening the door to open-ended residency for outside nationals fuels justifiable alarm that our cultural and civic foundations will be permanently fractured.
Serious warnings caution that our Islamic heritage could vanish entirely, potentially remaking the islands into an outpost for Zionist interests. Alarming parallels have emerged suggesting that enclaves akin to Gaza or the West Bank might ultimately take root on domestic soil.
The head of state must face full accountability for this overreach. The country is under no circumstances his private possession to trade off at will, as every parcel of dirt, faith, and independent authority inherently belongs to the Maldivian public.
A mortgaged legacy
While pledges were made to reinvigorate the domestic economy, the current outcome is an outright endeavor to offload immense stretches of ground to foreign outfits for prolonged durations under the pretense of sprawling undertakings such as Eagle Hills.
Financial stewardship and the safeguarding of communal land have both collapsed under this watch.
The Ras Malé initiative stirs profound doubt over genuine sovereignty, openness, and the rightful claims of posterity. For a society that is wholly Islamic, our soil and self-determination must never serve as bargaining chips traded away on hollow promises and external funding.
The president has shown complete ineptitude at governing and steering economic affairs, abandoning his core duty to secure the people's territory while attempting to turn the future existence of the islands into a marketable financial commodity.
Let there be no ambiguity on the matter, because these islands are not his personal estate to auction off.
