HULHUDHOO

Trench hollow out between Hulhudhoo and Meedhoo raised controversy


An unprecedented trench hollowed out between Hulhudhoo and Meedhoo has raised tension between both the islands last night. According to the information received to Hulhudhoo Today, an excavator lend by Shangri’ la to excavate the channel between Meedhoo and Hera, was used to dig out the road which runs east of Hulhudhoo and Meedhoo. However the purpose and the people behind this wicked attempt of trying to leave Hulhumeedhoo people under jeopardy still remain unknown.
According to Hulhudhoo councilor Mr. Ibrahim Didi, he had asked Meedhoo island Chief Mr. Abdulla Rasheed for an explanation of excavating trench. Abdulla Rasheed justified as saying “it was the will of the majority of Meedhoo people out on streets to clean the island yesterday”. We enquired Meedhoo councilor Mr. Hassan Shahid if he had learned about such plan to scoop out a trench on the road before. He replied that he had attended all the meetings in FMD regarding the planning of island cleaning program but never come across anyone saying about excavating a trench to block the road.

At the wake of this evil act to block the road by a small segment of Meedhoo people, triggered protests near Hulhudhoo office last night.Hundreds of people gathered near Hulhudhoo Office and pressurized the newly appointed councilor to immediately take actions. Hulhudhoo councilor Mr. Ibrahim Didi, after talking to Atoll councilor, arranged Heavy Load vehicles to fill the trench before 00:00 hours. However differences in opinion among the people out on protest failed to find reconciliation to the dispute and they marched towards the main border to excavate a channel. With spade and other tools Hulhudhoo people did scoop out 5 x 1 feet area of land near old Health Center building before police came and advised them to stop.
The relationship between Hulhudhoo and Meedhoo people, particularly among the youth, has been strengthening for the last five years. Street fights and vandalism on either island properties almost vanished. Everybody was free to move from one island to another, thus promoting social and economic benefits. We strongly advise on youth of these two islands to refrain from activities which may hinder peace we have setup between these two islands.
