Huvadhu or Huvadhoo- the largest atoll in the Maldives and in the whole world. Now divided into two administrative areas, Gaaf Alif in the north, and southern Gaaf Dhaal. On its reef rim are many inhabited islands including Thinadhoo, Gaddhoo, and Vaadhoo.
Maathodaa and Fares islands, recently joined by reclamation and now known as Fares-Maathodaa, were two of the most peaceful islands in Maldives until President Gayyoom's personal National Security Service militia attacked the inhabitants with electric shock truncheons, tear gas and 'rubber' bullets on 5 January 2006.
The dictator is an ignorant and petty man who loves to punish anyone who refuses to kowtow and beg for assistance.
If he is successful, the dictator would be able to declare a state of emergency and suspension of all democratic reform, and press bogus treason and terrorism charges against members of the Maldivian Democratic party.
Shopkeepers on the most populous two islands, Viligili and Thinadhoo, said they were owed so much money they could no longer aford to supply goods on credit.
Fishing began to deteriorate around Huvadhuatoll at the beginning of this year, 2001, and for the past ten months there has been no fishing at all due mainly to a serious shortage of baitfish.
Most of the fishing vessels in Huvadhuatoll are large boats and it is expensive to operate them.
