Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) on February 7 revealed that the establishment of Coastal Surveillance Radar Systems (CSRS) under Indian aid is ongoing since its inception in 2005, adding that Indian Military personnel will not be monitoring the operations, reports The Edition. The Chief of Defence Force, Major General Abdulla Shamaal stated that the radar systems should have been established earlier. Major General Shamaal noted that, as Maldives is located in a hotbed for illegal activity, the high-level surveillance systems would contribute towards averting such crimes. Addressing assumptions that India may demand that their military personnel should oversee operations of the radars, Vice Chief of Defence Brigadier General Abdul Raheem Abdul Latheef disclosed that Indian military would only be involved in the installation process. “Right now there are three pre-installed operational radars. A total of 10 radars will be installed. Indian military will have no involvement in operating, maintaining or overseeing these radars once they are installed”, Vice Chief of Defence further guaranteed.

In response to a letter by the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abdulla Shahid said that the Maldivian Government is looking forward to solidifying its cooperation with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and all special procedures of the Human Rights Council.

Furthermore, noting that a number of expatriate workers have been deported in the past, the controller general said that 513 were deported in 2018 as they were ‘unfit’ to work in the Maldives while 112 were deported on criminal allegations.

President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih on February 26 urged the citizens of Maldives not to advocate religious extremism, reports AVAS.MV. While addressing at the opening ceremony of “The National Dialogue on Promoting Peace and Security” organized by National Counter Terrorism Center and UNDP, the president said ideologies that support radical Islam could upset the peace and security of the nation. He further noted that Maldivians have always co-existed peacefully in unity without much difference in opinion over matters. However, different propaganda are at work behind the scenes to bring about disagreements in the society, and negligence in raising children according to Islamic values is causing undue differences within the society, noted the president. While two extremes exist where one group supports terrorism and extremist ideologies, and the other ridicules and blasphemies Islam, the President stressed the importance of maintaining the Maldives' peaceful identity in the international world. The President also noted that several Maldivians are promoting violent extremism and taking part in civil wars of other foreign nations, which negatively affects the country and its economy. He reiterated the importance of seeking a solution to such issues, noting that more than 35% of the country's population accounts for the youth of the nation, and it is the ideologies of the youth that would shape the nation. Noting the urgency of the matter, the president further pointed out that initiatives such as the National Dialogue on Promoting Peace and Security are key to identifying the causes of violent extremism, and the best ways to address them. The President further urged all citizens to be free from extremism, and to uphold the country’s peace and harmony.
