Sudden change is our social attire!!

For centuries Maldivians have been having a clean white social attire where our people enjoyed peace and tranquility. However the recent rate of crimes and violence involving henious crimes such as murder is making us to think what has gone wrong in our society. Many people are blaming the politicians for these changes, especially the government propaganda is blaming the opposition for instigating violence. None the less the facts are showing that its the exact opposite of their propaganda. For nearly 30 years people are ruled with a fist of iron by a dictator and people were pushed to limits in September 2003, with the incident of Maafushi jail. This was the turning point for the Maldives politics and it became the root cause for people to fight against the so called democratic government. However this also came with lots of anti social behaviour from the public. It was a public uproar against the regime and the frustrated people had no other means to show oppression. In the meantiime the regime also kept on using violent techniques fuelling the situation and the government itself used tactics of violence to create fear among people through criminal gangs and thugs. In their minds they hoped to control oppression by allowing criminals and thugs to rule on. No sooner the fabrication of party politics came in, the regime wanted to use its propaganda and resources to blame opposition politicians for all chaos while masterminding all sorts of criminal actions. Police were demotivated and kept silent and blind and some people took the law in to their hands making things to go worse from bad. The police lost their credibility and as the only mean to gain public confidence they got divorced from the national security force which. It dampened the situation while the public had already lost confident of the commissioner who was the root eveil behind Maafushi killing spree. Criminals took all advantages while opposition politicians kept on working day and night to inspire people and enlighten people to freedom. The regime used criminals to oppress the opposition politicians hoping to use fear as an intimidation weapon. Criminlas got more power and blessing of some senior regime nepotists and violence continued. After nearly 3 years on criminals lost credibility and formed rival gangs as a means of power controll. The country then fell in to chaos with criminal gangs controlling the whole capital. Police were powerless as the criminals used police as alibi and vitimised them. All the while innocent people continue to sufffer the rampage and the social attire of white worn by society has got reddened with blood. The regime keeps ruling and blaming the public and opposition for everything hoping to gain the lost public trust. However it goes in vain and its time the regime accept their failure and let the country be ruled by wise men.
