Maldives Sliding Towards Authoritarianism, Ex-President Solih Warns

Former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih warned that the Maldives is heading towards a "terrible dictatorship," accusing the Mohamed Muizzu administration of concentrating power, removing heads of independent institutions, and withholding funds from local councils. He was speaking at a Maldivian Democratic Party rally at Artificial Beach in Malé, where other speakers echoed his criticisms of the government's governance and economic record.
