Former President Mauoon Abdul Gayyoom reminds us that the unity of the land plays an important role to keep the independence of the nation.

In a tweet, reminding about the unity of the land, Maumoon said that statements leading about dividing the nation should not be expressed by anyone, even if it is from a political viewpoint of someone.

Although he did not specify the reason behind his statement, Maumoon is well known for being vocal in encouraging about maintaining the liberty of the nation.

However, speaking at the Republic day celebrations held separately by the southern atolls, former President and Speaker of the Parliament Mr. Nasheed has called to make a development plan within the four southern atolls separately.

Following Nasheeds remark, many have initiated discussions about the United Suvadive Republic, the Suvadive Islands which was a short-lived breakaway nation in the remote southern atolls of the Maldives. While some have raised concerns that this could create a negative impact on the unity of the nation.
