Who was it who first gave senior government posts to convicted coup leaders?


IDP leader Umar Naseer and some of his supporters (including DRP activists) took part in a small rally Friday night to protest against the appointment of Shahid (convicted of taking part in the 1988 coup attempt) as the State Minster for Defense. They called for Shahid to be sacked from the post and accused the government of promoting convicted coup leaders for senior government posts. But the question remains, who was it who first gave senior government posts to convicted coup leaders?

Karo Abbas (an ex-army officer) who was convicted of taking part in the coup was pardoned by Gayyoom after serving a long jail term. Abbas was then given a senior post at MIFCO by Gayyoom.

Kerafa Naseem, who was also convicted by the Gayyoom government for taking part in a coup was later pardoned and given the post of Director General of Foreign Investment Bureau by Gayyoom.

So it isn’t Nasheed who started this. Nasheed is probably following in Gayyoom’s footsteps as far as giving posts to coup leaders is concerned. In fact it was Gayyoom who pardoned Shahid. It was Gayyoom who started this work of rehabilitating and giving jobs to the coup leaders. Now that Nasheed is continuing that work, Gayyoom loyalists are making a big deal out of it and making it as an excuse to attack the new government.

In fact this isn’t the first time that a convicted coup leader has been pardoned and given a ministerial post. Years back, former president Ibrahim Nasir’s grand father conducted a coup to oust the monarchy at the time, with help from an Indian group called the Pichoreen. He was later given a state pardon and years later he served as a State Minister for Home Affairs. So I don’t see what the fuss is about with regard to the appointment of Shahid as a Minster. It’s all politics and Gayyoom and Yamin and Gasim are now probably in an axis of politics, to pressurize the new government.

  4. If u read what you have written and then look at the justification that u have given this whole scenario...u will realise that what Umar Naseer and his supporters are saying is that they do not think it is wise to have Shahid as a head of defense because of what he had done. Karo Abbas did not get a post in defense because he did not abide by the oath he took. How would you react if a teacher abused children, got a sentence and a number of years later came back to be a principal of the same school?

  5. “Nasheed is probably following in Gayyoom’s footsteps as far as giving posts to coup leaders is concerned”
    Bush, bush, I thought you would disapprove of anni following anything of maumoon.
    So I guess Anni is probably trying to tell people that Maumoon was a great leader who knew how to rule and pardon. So I guess anni is the new Maumoon
    30+30= 60
    Anni+Maumoon=Dictator
    Karo Abbas was shown what he should be doing, wearing a skirt and cooking fish for maumoon and btw he does a wonderful hawaiian dance. You would want him to be cooking as well , if you had seen him dance. Ohhh la la!!

  6. To Anonymous 2:33 pm.

    Your example about the child abusing principal

    Bush will run to the school and stay up all night to be the first in the queue to put his children in that school, cos he is so trusting of Anni(a decision he might have taken while sipping Shula Shiraz)

  9. oh come on bushree. you are now being stupid. what you're saying is anni (the mandela of maldives) should follow the footsteps of maumoon (the dictator)? so what's the point in changin the government. what if anni decides to jail you for writing against a policy of this government? will you still justify it saying he's just following maumooon's footsteps. besides, a senior post at mifco cannot be compared to state minister of defence.

    if anni becomes a dictator like maumoon; you should be one of those who are responsible. remember, maumoon was a good guy in his first five years. his cronies made him believe he is the god of maldives.

  10. Dear Bushry,

    I heard that your one of the anonymous founders of the Himeyn Ingilaab movement. Is it true.

    I dint beleive this but after reading the article you posted on Club escape, I thought the artilce was intended to promote the already powerful movement.

  11. Bush. again you don't get it or what?
    We elected new president for what? We could have easily kept Maumoon in power if we knew Anni would continue to keep the tradition. Oh my fucking god, can't believe this! where is the principles and values and morals?
    So because maumoon and his cronies used the wealth of this nation to themsleves for the past thirty years, should we let anni do that? i mean, ,,, im starting to get wondered why am i even commenting here, its such a foolish article. you may be actually causing trouble to anni although you think you wrote this on support for his cause. piss

  12. bushry, is right i don't really believe that shahid was a traitor cause, very recently we saw maumoon trying frame anni as terrorist just because he stayed in jumhooree maidhaan, the same sentence they would have given if international couminity was not watching, what im saying is that time guys like ambaree and didn't like shahid much so when the day came they pulled out everyone of those they disliked from NSS, what we call people with difference of opinions .. that's the story basically .. ask that moron umar naseer what happened to him .. hehe any why he was in dhoonidhoo .. people wake up....

  13. I fully support the comments of the people who said the justification that Bushry gives is totally ridiculous. I thought the whole point of appointing Anni was to ensure that the new government does not make the same mistakes as the Maumoon government.
    Think of the message that we give to our army by appointing Shahid... Are we saying treachery to the country will be rewarded with a higher post in government?

  14. Dear Anni
    Please stop drinking in public. You are the president of Maldives . You rule over a predominantly Muslim population. Show some respect even if have non. We can easily bring you down and and humiliate you just like we brought you up.

  15. what is wrong with Shahid's appointment? do you guys want him to be tried again coz his trial during gayyom era was without a lawyer? his confessions were obtained by torture? as an mdp meber i fully support anni's decision to appoint him as he was a strong campaigner in our southern atolls and very successful indeed was his work, the post he was assigned is related to his educational qualification. he was even pardoned by gayoom who tried and convicted him. so i suppose he is ok ok

  21. why didnt gayyoom kill shahid for his involvement in the coup attempt, he was given death penalty, gayyey has pardoned him and shahid stayed behind bar for more than 15 years..Even mr nasheed was taken prison for 15 times, once he was accused of blowing up dharubaaruge while saarc summit was to held,recently he was accused of overthrowing gayyooms government,but he was having a meeting in thoddoo.. one more thing, why was gayyoom and his military could not control a bunch of tamil thugs who almost over through the government,we are talking about a capital city being sieged by bunch of mercenaries, not a remote island, i think the man incharge of the armed forces has to take responsiblity of failing to control the incident, gayyey must be responsible.......Any way thats all history. What about the key of armory,it was
    under the pillow of mr illyas ibrahim, what a
    joke.... but he recieved medal for bravery....my foot. And this guy mullah umar i just wont to know why his party name is not displayed on english at his office, are you afraid to write "ISLAMIC DEMOCRATIC PARTY " in english,are you afraid that all of your submarine customers are europians who might stay away from that name.... come on man be brave...by the way backbone mahir is onthe way......patas..

  26. To the demented moron "Adamantinoma" who thinks Sula is a supposedly a "RED" wine only!!! Kekeke

    As I made the comment ....

    FYI (for your information)

    ------------------
    SULA Brands:

    In Red : Dindori Reserve Shiraz, Sula Red Zinfandel, Satori Merlot, Sula Cabernet Shiraz, Madera Red

    In White: Sula Sauvignon Blanc, Madera White, Sula Chenin Blanc

    In Rose: Sula Blush Zinfandel, Madera Rosé

    In Sparkling: Sula Brut

    In Dessert: Late Harvest Chenin Blanc
    ------------------

    They will not serve Shiraz only n I don't suppose Anni would have had only 1 glass of wine. And at a cocktail party they DO NOT server ONLY red wines. Different ppl have different tastes moron!

    Now feel like a fool??? So shut the Fux up most of the time n keep quite rather than become the village idiot.

    Besides this is not about the color of the wine either idiot. I was simply asking why the Bushry idiot did not want to comment or write on such an issue. Why??? Simply because Bushry is too much in love with this guy Anni.

    Capice???

  27. Dear Anni, please drink what ever you like , Our faith will not be changed by a drink you take. only the goods and the bads we do ourselves will be assessed during the judgment. But remember' dont try to drink our blood like golhaboa did.

  29. Yes, Dear Anni, drink what ever you like ... even "fada" and enjoy! This is a lawless country where dictators rule high and mighty since the dawn of man anyways.

    And to protect that lawlessness ppl like Bushry will always be behind dictators and ignore the evils that come about every day.

    Have a nice day.
