Yameen questions need for second commission on 'lost sea territory'
Former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom questioned President Dr Mohamed Muizzu's decision to set up a new presidential commission to investigate the Maldives' maritime boundary dispute with Mauritius, arguing an existing mechanism already covers the issue. The dispute stems from international rulings on the Chagos Archipelago, including an ITLOS delimitation that divided roughly 95,000 square kilometres between Mauritius and the Maldives.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
