Politics 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.

Politics Petition urges parliamentary inquiry into Rasmale' deal An opposition PNF activist, Haleemath Zuhaira, has submitted a petition to the People's Majlis calling for a full public inquiry, a parliamentary debate and an independent legal opinion on the sale of Rasmalé to UAE businessman Mohamed Alabbar before any enabling law is passed. The petition questions whether the deal, under which the government says the island is leased for 99 years and Eagle Hills says a new 99-year term would begin on any earlier sale, complies with Article 251 of the Constitution barring foreign ownership of Maldivian land.

Politics Rasmale' deal could end Maldivian identity: Jameel Former Vice President Dr Mohamed Jameel Ahmed told a People's National Front gathering that handing part of the Rasmalé land reclamation project to UAE-based Eagle Hills would end the Maldives' legal identity and its ability to bar religious freedom and temples. The government says Rasmalé is being leased for 99 years, with the state receiving no acquisition fee or land rent but 10 percent of commercial property sale revenue and four percent of apartment sale revenue.
