*Remember Salwa?*
*The one who said she* *hadn’t tasted food in five days*..

She’s gone now.

Salwa has ascended.
She died, in this cruel unfair world.

Salwa martyred by hunger now pleads her case before God,
against the injustice of a heartless world 💔💔

There is no power and no strength except through God. 🥺
With our Lord is mercy far greater than the darkness in human hearts.

God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs.
*We failed to reach her for rescue and aid*

Former President Solih and MDP raised concern that the bill by government aims to weaken or even eliminate the powers of local councils. The party claims this would reverse years of progress in empowering island communities to manage their affairs.

The bill, introduced by Fuvahmulah South MP Ibrahim Hussain, is set for its first reading in Parliament tomorrow. If passed, it would bring major changes to how councils operate across the country.

In a statement, MDP raised concern that the bill aims to weaken or even eliminate the powers of local councils. The party claims this would reverse years of progress in empowering island communities to manage their affairs.

“Powers that were once centralized have been given to the people through elected councils,” the statement said.

“The previous MDP government made key reforms that helped councils become financially independent by allowing them to benefit from natural resources around the islands.”

BREAKING: Harvard's Professor Avi Loeb calculates that the mysterious 3I/ATLAS interstellar object has only a 0.005% chance of being natural, raising alarming questions about its true origin. Racing toward our solar system at 60 kilometers per second, this Manhattan-sized visitor approached from the Milky Way center's direction - the perfect camouflage for an undetected approach.

As Loeb warns in his latest Medium article: "If 3I/ATLAS represents a spacecraft of 20-kilometer size, as envisioned by Arthur C. Clark in his novel 'Rendezvous with Rama,' we should worry about its intent." The timing is chilling - this object could have started its 80-year journey just as humanity began widespread radio broadcasting, effectively announcing our technological civilization to the cosmos.

Loeb emphasizes that our chemical rockets cannot bridge the 98 kilometer-per-second velocity gap, leaving humanity essentially defenseless if this proves to be alien technology. With no international protocol for alien contact and the object's trajectory perfectly aligned to study Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, we're facing humanity's most critical moment.

Protest is set to take place tomorrow under the banner of "Gaza bandah maruvanee" loosely translated to Gaza is on the brink of famine. This protest is being organized by Isra Association, an NGO in support of Palestine.

The association has stated that this will be a women-led peaceful protest.

Isra Association has called on for as many people to join the protest as possible, with it being held at Rasfannu tomorrow at 4:15 pm.

Death toll has risen to 60,000 following Israel's ongoing attacks in Palestine.

Israel has been attacking Gaza for almost two years, with famine reaching unseen levels in that span of time. United Nations has stated that Israel has killed around 1,000 people who gathered around aid camps that provide food and drink.

Maldives has been removed from the list of countries deemed to pose a threat to Sri Lanka’s national security, according to reports in the Sri Lankan press.

The country had been included in the list following the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks, which killed 258 people and led to a sweeping overhaul of Sri Lanka’s internal security policies.

At the time, there were reports of alleged business links between some Maldivians and the attackers, although the Maldivian government denied any direct involvement.

In February 2020, Sri Lankan police named four Maldivians believed to be directly or indirectly linked to the bombings carried out by members of the National Thowheeth Jamaath.

The Guardian newspaper quoted a Maldivian government official as saying the Maldives was removed from the list during the recent state visit of Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to Maldives.
