In recent years, the Maldives has experienced significant political upheaval, including a period of authoritarian rule under former President Abdulla Yameen. In 2018, Ibrahim Mohamed Solih was elected president in a peaceful and democratic transfer of power, bringing hope for a return to democracy and stability in the country.
Since then, the government has taken steps to address issues such as corruption, human rights abuses, and judicial reform. However, there have been some challenges to the government’s efforts, including protests and opposition from some political factions.
Overall, the political situation in the Maldives remains somewhat fragile, with ongoing challenges to the country’s democratic institutions and the need for continued efforts to address political, social, and economic issues.
