Hi, I'm Viyu. Ask me about the stories collected here. I answer only from them, with numbered links to the outlets that published them, and I say so when they do not cover it.

Who said what
the reports' own quoted words, each once
no school or educational institution within the development would be placed under foreign control
It is even more limited than the scope of activities at a resort. The limitation is that alcohol cannot be sold here. It cannot be consumed. There will be no pork. The call to prayer will be broadcast five times a day
I will certainly not allow anything to happen that could lead to negative influences among us. I will ensure all these matters are handled through legal means, within the agreement, and in every possible way
I am very confident, highly confident, that those staying here will be almost entirely Maldivians and Muslims from other countries. People who wish to live differently will not want to come here; they will not want to come to the Maldives …
President Dr Mohamed Muizzu · No school or educational institution within the development will be placed under foreign control, and no separate education system will let residents bypass national regulations
President Dr Mohamed Muizzu · The safeguards on Maldivian law and sovereignty will be incorporated into the legal arrangements governing the project and the agreement with Eagle Hills
