Maldives: It's back to square one (N. Sathiya Moorthy, South Asia Monitor)

Even as reactions continue to pour in over the weekend on Maldives’ decision to exit the Commonwealth, alleging ‘unfair and unjust treatment’, the leadership of President Abdulla Yameen has moved on with the next political move, this one nearer home. The Yameen faction of the ruling Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) got a civil court order removing former President and half-brother, Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, as party head and replacing the latter’s team with another one of the President’s choice.

Stake-holders need to re-think, to end political dead-lock (N. Sathiya Moorthy, South Asia Monitor)

With the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG) once again coming up with a resolution that said all and nothing - at least for now - it is becoming increasingly clear that domestic stake-holders and international players need to re-think and re-work strategies, if any. It could also possibly become a determining factor about their relative seriousness or otherwise towards finding a lasting settlement to the ‘political dead-lock’ of the past year and more.

India and Maldives: A make or break visit (N. Sathiya Moorthy, South Asia Monitor)

Following up on unprecedented high-level exchange-visits over the past months, Maldives President Abdulla Yameen is set to visit New Delhi on a two-day official visit, when he would call on his Indian counterpart, Pranab Mukherjee, and hold luncheon discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, both on April, 11. On Friday, when the two governments announced the visit, the Maldivian Correctional Service also rejected the plea of the jailed former President Mohammed Nasheed for an extension of his ‘medical leave’ in the UK, reiterating that the supporting documents were defective and incomplete.

Walking the extra mile can be tough: India and Sri Lanka yet to resolve trade issues (N. Sathiya Moorthy, South Asia Monitor)

Rarely do governments and Prime Ministers walk the extra-mile to back a trade or technical cooperation agreement with another country. It is more so in the case of sensitive neighbours, where domestic politics and geo-strategic concerns have remained a nagging bilateral problem. Not now in the case of Sri Lanka and its larger, northern neighbour, India, or so it would seem.
