I also wish to acknowledge the assistance and the guidance of the following: Firstly, my sincere gratitude to Hon. Ali Umar Maniku who supported me financially through out my years of higher education in Britain. Without his kind assistance I would have never been able to reach this level and to him I will be indebted forever. I also owe my deepest gratitude and sincere appreciation to Dr. Paul Sutton, my supervisor, without whose patient and efficient supervision I would not have been able to complete this thesis. I would also like to thank H.E. Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, the President of the Maldives, for kindly granting me leave from the President's Office to carry out this research. I am also grateful to Ms. Aneesa Ahmed, the Director of Foreign Relations at the President's Office for all her assistance and also to the officials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Maldives, especially to the former Director of International Affairs, Mr. Abdulla Shahid. I am also indebted to Mr. Ahmed Latheef at the SAARC Secretariat for his kind assistance. Further, I would also like to extend my gratitude to H.E. Babooram Mahadoo, High Commissioner of Mauritius in London and the officials at the High Commission for the information on Mauritius. Similar appreciation goes to the H.E. John P. Mascarenhas, the High Commissioner of the Seychelles in London and his staff. The officials of the Commonwealth Secretariat gave me tremendous assistance. The list of those who have helped me in my research is rather long but I have to mention Mr. John Purvis at the Seychelles Polytechnic and Mr. Ahmed Khaleel at the Maldivian Mission at the UN. I would also like to thank the following people: Sato for the laptop; Mr. Adam Hassan, for all his assistance; and to Brian Pryce and Shamla Ali for letting me stay with them during my numerous research trips to London. I would also like to sincerely thank my family, especially my mother for all the love and support I received, and also my brothers, Ibrahim and Ameen Faizal and my sister Shuwey. I would also like to extend my appreciation to my in-laws for all their moral support, especially to my 'sister' Maria whose numerous trips to Hull broke the monotony of burying myself in books. Last but not the least, my special thanks go to Didi, my husband, who was the main inspiration behind this research. He has supported me through out my research years in England and had sacrificed so much in giving up his medical practice to come and stay with me in Britain. Without his devoted support, especially during difficult periods in the last three and a half years I would not have been able to complete my research. To him I owe everything.

We don't even have a sitting army", H.E. Hussain Manilcufan, The Permanent Representative (former) of the Maldives to the UN, when asked about the strength of the country's armed forces.1 In a world where all states are seemingly equal on the basis of their sovereignty, all states are expected to participate as equal members of the international community. In this respect, Small Island Developing States or SIDS are no different. However, in their attempt to find footage in the international arena they often have to confront special problems and difficulties, especially with regard to security concerns. These issues were, nevertheless, relegated to the background of independence and there was no acceptance that these SIDS needed special attention to their problems. It is only fairly recently that the international community has placed the dilemmas faced by these states on its agenda and seriously addressed the problems of their smallest members. It was the US invasion of Grenada that first highlighted the vulnerability of these states and brought the issue on to the forefront of international politics. Since then they have become the subject of various types of research from their developmental problems to their military vulnerability. However, most of the research undertaken concentrates on the SIDS of the Caribbean and the South Pacific. This is no surprise as most of the world's SIDS are located in these two regions. However, there are four SIDS located in the Indian Ocean: Comoros, the Maldives, Mauritius and the Seychelles. As far as I am aware there has been no research undertaken on the security of the SIDS in this region. Therefore, the focus of this research will be on the SIDS of the Indian Ocean. It attempts to identify and assess the various security problems confronted by the SIDS of the Indian Ocean and the strategies and responses that are available to them to achieve a measure of security. This thesis however, concentrates on only three of the Indian Ocean SIDS. Quoted in Asiaweek 18 November 1988, p.38 Research on Comoros had to be sacrificed at an early stage due to the lack of material available in Britain. Furthermore, due to financial reasons, research on the security problems of Mauritius and the Seychelles had to be restricted to Britain. Nevertheless, extensive interviews were carried out with the officials

  • A Rock, an Island: Exploring the Independence of African Island
    A Rock, an Island: Exploring the independence of African Island Nations in the Indian Ocean By Alexander Rijpma Student Number: s1501143 E-mail: [email protected] Word Count: 13,848 s1501143 Introduction: A vast majority of African countries gained their independence in the 1950’s and early 1960’s, with over 30 countries gaining independence in quick succession in the six year period between 1956 and 1962 alone (Boddy-Evans, 2018). The year 1960 in particular was a significant landmark in the history of decolonisation as, in that year alone, 17 African countries gained independence (Talton, 2011). However, in the vast literature that exists detailing this period of decolonisation, very little is written about the African island nations of Mauritius and The Seychelles. These two nations lie very close together in the Indian Ocean, east of the African mainland, and have similar sizes and population densities, not to mention cultural similarities in their customs, language and ethnic makeup. Despite the fact that these countries are both included in the African Union, they are rarely treated in literature regarding African independence as being part of the decolonisation process at all. This is not, in itself, that surprising given that there is generally little academic literature to be found on states on the periphery like these, and this is particularly true for states on the periphery of the African continent. That being said, it is important that we attempt to curb this (lack of) practice by shifting our attention (and our research) to countries like the Seychelles and Mauritius, that exist largely in the periphery.

  • Country Report on Terrorism
    BUREAU OF COUNTERTERRORISM AND COUNTERING VIOLENT EXTREMISM Country Reports on Terrorism 2015 Report MALDIVES Overview: Since 2010, concerns about a small number of local extremists, who support violence and are involved with transnational terrorist groups, have increased. Young Maldivians, especially those within the penal system and otherwise marginalized members of society, are at risk of becoming radicalized and some have already joined violent extremist groups. Media reports from January 2015 cited then Maldivian Police Service (MPS) Chief Hussein Waheed, who estimated that at least 50 Maldivians had opted to become foreign terrorist fighters, while the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party placed the figure as high as 200. Waheed’s comments followed reports in early January of at least 13 Maldivians traveling abroad with the intent of becoming foreign terrorist fighters. In late January, four Maldivians reputed to be members of Male’s Kuda Henveiru gang were arrested in Malaysia under suspicion of attempting to travel to Syria to fight with terrorist groups. The incident illustrated a pattern of Maldivian nationals having the intent of becoming foreign terrorist fighters transiting through third countries. Legislation, Law Enforcement, and Border Security: President Yameen Abdul Gayoom signed a new “Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism Act” (PMLFT), which repealed the Anti-terrorism Act of 1990, on October 28. The PMLFT defined acts of terrorism and set forth penalties of between seven to 25 years imprisonment
