Former President Mohamed Nasheed has said that policies pursued by President Mohamed Muizzu are causing the Maldives to lose its safety and security.
Nasheed made the remarks in comments reported by local media. He argued that certain decisions are weakening the country’s position.
The statement comes amid ongoing political debate over foreign relations, including recent engagements with Pakistan and other partners.
Nasheed, who previously led the Maldives Democratic Party, has been a frequent critic of the current government on a range of issues, including economic management and international alignments.
No immediate response from the government to the specific comments has been reported. Political observers note that such exchanges are common in the Maldives’ polarised political environment ahead of future electoral cycles.
