MDP rewrote its history again in Hulhumeedhoo

Hulhumeedhoo Community yet again proved their adherence and commitment to Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) in the second consecutive election, this time in Local Council. History was rewritten yesterday where as similar land slide victory was made during Maldives first ever parliamentary election during 2009.

Both victories are similar in its nature. During parliamentary election Mr. Ilyas Labeeb was sworn in by the most votes in the Maldives for one constituency. Mr. Hassan Shahid became the his successor to gain the same number of votes for the same constituency, but for the city council. Right now one thing is very straight and clear. Hulhumeedhoo has barred entry of any political party other than MDP, and so is the mood of entire Addu City.

Another main lessons learnt over the last two elections were that Dhivehi Raiyyithunge Party (DRP), less in number though, are strictly behind their leader who were ousted by people's referendum in the presidential election in 2008.

Hulhumeedhoo community is foreseeing a bright and prosperous future, being the forerunner in brining MDP and democracy to the Maldives.

Rafael to miss Man Utd FA Cup tie against Southampton

Manchester United right-back Rafael will miss Saturday's FA Cup tie with Southampton after being taken off on a stretcher at Blackpool with concussion.
The Brazilian, who collided with Marlon Harewood in the second half of United's 3-2 win on Tuesday, went to hospital for X-rays.
Rafael, 20, was later released and returned to Manchester with the team.
"It's a straightforward one. He has concussion and will miss Saturday's game," said manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Rafael's injury was the main reason 10 minutes of added time were played at Blackpool where United came from 2-0 down to secure victory with two goals from Dimitar Berbatov and one by Javier Hernandez.
As is the case with concussion injuries, the defender will be given a break from physical contact before he resumes training.
Rafael had only just returned from a one-game suspension following his red card against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on 16 January.
He has been a key member of a Manchester United side who have only lost once in all competitions - a 4-0 defeat by West Ham United in the Carling Cup - and he has played 20 times this season.

Tunisia issues arrest warrant for ousted leader

The restive North African nation of Tunisia has issued an international arrest warrant for its ousted president, Tunisian media reported. Tunisian Justice Minister Lazhar Karoui Chebbi on Wednesday announced that the warrant had been brought against Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, according to Tunis Afrique Presse, or TAP, the country's official news agency.
Ben Ali, who ruled Tunisia since 1987, fled to Saudi Arabia earlier this month amid mass public protests against the government for corruption, poor living conditions, high unemployment and repression.
The grass-roots protest has emboldened people in Egypt and Algeria to take their complaints to the streets.
It also has generated admiration across the world. For example, in his State of the Union address on Tuesday night, President Barack Obama made reference to Ben Ali's rule, saying "the will of the people proved more powerful than the writ of a dictator."
An interim government was formed after Ben Ali's departure, and protesters are demanding that none of the people in the government should have links to the ousted president's regime. Changes in the government makeup were expected on Wednesday, TAP reported.
The government will provide compensation to the families of people who died in the recent unrest and others who were injured. It will also pass along aid for jobless higher education graduates, TAP reported.
More than 100 people were killed in protests in recent weeks, the United Nations has said.
Tunisians have expressed outrage over the actions of the president and his family.
Last week, Tunisia's new government interrogated 33 people from Ben Ali's entourage, a top official said Friday, while 1,200 others who have "spread terror among the population carried out unacceptable acts" have been arrested, TAP reported.
Tunisia's Interior Minister Ahmed Friaa announced the arrests in a news conference, saying that "33 members of families close to the former president have been brought to justice and are now being interrogated."
"These people's jewels and huge sums of money in their possession have been seized," the TAP news agency reported, citing Friaa, a holdover from the previous government.
Some of the 1,200 people arrested by the new government have been released, Friaa said, while 382 others face charges such as carrying illegal firearms, looting and committing violence.
