Widow of Suvadive Republic Leader in Critical Condition, Family Says

Aneesa Ali Didi, widow of former United Suvadive Republic president Abdullah Afif Didi, is in critical condition and receiving treatment in Seychelles. Family members say she is in intensive care but have not disclosed details. Her late husband led the breakaway United Suvadive Republic in the southern atolls (Addu, Huvadhu, Fuvahmulah) from 1958 to 1963 during a period of political strain as the Maldives moved towards modern statehood. After the republic dissolved in 1963, Afif Didi left under British protection and settled in Seychelles, where he lived for about 30 years until his death in 1993 at age 76. Most of his family still resides in Seychelles.
