Caught between a brutal regime and a bunch of selfish figures who call themselves “opposition-leaders”!

Whether this is a process to amend the constitution or the formation of a new constitution is really irrelevant. The spirit of the constitution is that no one who has served two presidential terms in the country can run for a third term in office. Gayyoom and his cronies (with much twisted help from Buruma Gasim) have “raped” the constitution to allow him to run for a third term.
This isn’t a constitution that is being amended or formulated for the people of this country. It is more like a constitution that is being tailor-made for the benefit of one old man who is hell-bent on ruling this country for the rest of his life.
This country is being hijacked by a gang who appears to do whatever they want. They have control of the two houses of parliament and they seem to be winning the tussle with the opposition. While all this is going on, the leaders of the main opposition party (MDP) are engrossed in a bitter fight for the party ticket to contest the presidential election. Neither Dr. Munavvar nor Nasheed (Anni) has said anything about the desecration of the constitution by the ruling gang.
Many of us still believe that we Buruma Gasim is a “reformist” who is “forced” to join the ruling regime; and that we cannot free the country from Gayyoom’s grip without the help of Buruma. This is a misconception. Even in the recent events in the Special Majlis, Gasim has shown that he a weak character that cannot stand up to the dictator. We can never achieve anything fruitful as long as we continue to believe that Gasim is our messiah. He will continue to make moves for the benefit of his empire and take our side only when that benefits him. The same could be said of Gayyoom’s brother Yamin and his diabolical association (PA).
While Gayyoom and his cronies continue to twist events in their favour, the opposition leaders (i.e. Anni, Dr. Saeed and Dr. Munavvar are fighting for their egos). We are caught between a brutal regime and a bunch of selfish figures who call themselves “opposition-leaders”!
Many ordinary citizens who have made great individual sacrifices for the reform process are disillusioned while the hyenas of the regime seem to be laughing all the way back to their bureaucratic offices.
