Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and civil rights hero, Martin Luther King, Jr., on that August 1963, at Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C. delivered one of the worlds most admirable speeches of all time.  A speech that echoed across freedom movements in every corner of the world.  "I have a dream" he said. Yet he cautioned; "...In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy out thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high planes of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force...

With Mohamed Nasheed's resignation, Vice President Dr. Mohamed Waheed Hassan Maniku, took oath of office as the President.   Of course as per the Constitution .  The following day Maldives woke up to hear allegations and conspiracy of a Coup d'état. "By all definitions it was a Coup" Nasheed spoke out.  By definition, a Coup d'état is a strike against the State. It is a sudden and decisive change of government illegally or by force. Question is: 'was this the indubitable setting in Maldives on that February Tuesday'?  The Events - End of a Presidency Events that led to his resignation was bloody to some extent. After the continuous ser

Dr. Waheed takes oath of office as President The third President of the second Republic of the Maldives, Mr. Mohamed Nasheed was forced to step down , after what appeared to be a historic Mutiny of the Maldivian Police Service. Nasheed resigned in his office, in front of media and on television, people of the island nation witnessed Nasheed as he humbly said those words,  "I resign because I am not a person who wished to rule with the use of power ... I believe that if the government were to remain in power it would require the use of force which would harm many citizens" .  Second in command that day in Maldives was Dr. Mohamed Waheed Hassan Maniku.  Elected Vice President 2008 was perhaps the most important year in modern Maldivian history.
