The greatest challenge facing the nation today is a matter of its very survival, a situation that has reached a critical and dangerous level, stated legal expert and former Member of Parliament for the Kendhoo constituency, Ali Hussain.
Speaking at a special rally titled "Dhiveheenge Bin Dhiveheennah" held at Artificial Beach on Friday night, Ali Hussain stated that Male' City, the nation's capital, has become the central hub upon which almost all of the country's affairs now depend.
Highlighting that this region is not only critical to national security but also the most densely populated area in the Maldives, Ali Hussain stated that if Zionists were to establish a presence and begin residing here, there would be no means of recourse or action to counter the situation.
This is an issue concerning the very survival of the Maldives. It is a question of whether the Maldives can continue to exist as it is. If Zionists are allowed to settle here, even the slightest dissent from us could lead to a situation where our military is forced into a direct confrontation with them. We must consider that our vital communication networks and infrastructure are concentrated right here, where the majority of Maldivians reside. Therefore, if they are allowed to establish a foothold and gain a presence here, it poses a significant threat to the sovereignty and continued existence of the Maldives. We would no longer be able to maintain the Maldives as a nation belonging to the Maldivian people.Ali Hussain
Ali Hussain stated that Article 10 of the Constitution designates Islam as the official religion of the Maldives and the Maldivian state. However, he raised questions regarding the implications and procedures should followers of other faiths establish residency in the country.
Ali Hussain stated that police officers must demand answers from their leadership today regarding the status of Article 10 of the Constitution, adding that MNDF officers should likewise pose the same question to their superiors.
Ali Hussain stated that the reality today is that Zionists exert influence across the globe, and even the world's most powerful nation, the United States, remains under their sway. He further warned that if Zionists were to settle in this country and attempt to propagate their faith, there would be little that could be done to stop them.
