Ali Hussain questions President Muizzu on land sale to 'Zionists'

Politics ·
Former Member Ali Hussain has questioned whether the government of President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu is selling the country's land to foreign parties, including 'Zionists and their agents,' without public consent. Speaking at an emergency event titled 'Dhivehi Land for Dhivehi People' on Tuesday night, Hussain stated that no national asset should be transferred to outsiders without the voice of the Maldivian people. He argued that President Muizzu, who was elected to a five-year term, holds a position similar to a CEO of a company, where the people are the shareholders. Hussain highlighted that President Muizzu had previously promised not to sell a single acre of Maldivian land, but reports indicate the current government signed a commercial agreement to give 500 hectares of land free of charge to Zionists and a Zionist agent without bidding. Hussain posed the question: is revitalizing national wealth equivalent to breaking up the country and selling it to Zionists, Zionist sympathizers, and Zionist agents?
