Parliamentary Speaker Mohamed Nasheed has said that he international community should decide the fate of Maldivian citizens living in Syria who want to return home, Maldives Independent. “We do not know the situation they have gone through. We don’t have the capacity to rehabilitate these people to the extent that they will not have a further impact on society,” Nasheed said. “I think the international community should join together and decide what we should do to the returnees. Hopefully, there is an international arrangement where they are first received, not necessarily their countries of origin or nationality,” Nasheed added. Six Maldivian families living in a Syrian camp have asked the government to allow them to return to the Maldives, the Counter-Terrorism Centre said in February 2019. In April a document listing 42 Maldivians, all widows and children of Maldivian men who joined the fighting, was leaked on social media.
