The Attorney General wasn’t wrong. Genocide is inherently a form of mass killing; and while it can be distinguished from other types of mass killing based on intent, traditionally the umbrella term, ‘Qathulu Aammu’ was used in Dhivehi communications to capture genocide. This mirrors our own QA’s usage of ‘Aniyaa’ to encapsulate torture without distinguishing it from lesser forms of ‘aniyaa’ that don’t meet the legal threshold of torture. If the proposed statutory text explicitly builds in the criteria of intent from the 1948 Convention, using the familiar term, ‘Qathulu Aammu’ is valid and it is more publicly accessible. A more productive conversation would perhaps be for the former Chief Justice to suggest an alternative.

Fayyaz didn’t resign from CP post cause he’s running for president. If that were the reason, he would’ve resigned the same day he announced his candidacy. He resigned cause he’s scared Muizzu might jail him, so he wants to keep a low profile. That makes Fayyaz a chicken. There’s no way he can beat Adam Azim’s team by hiding at home and acting scared. But if he ran for Male’ Mayor and actually won, it would make it much harder for Muizzu to arrest him. Jailing a sitting mayor, especially one elected with a big majority, would be tough. Unfortunately, Fayyaz’s team seems to think the mayoral post is beneath him, that he’s somehow too important for it. Adam Azim knows how to turn these situations into opportunities. At the end of the day, the person with the brains and strategy will win. Right now, Adam Azim and his team (Ibu) look much closer to securing the presidential ticket than Fayyaz. Fayyaz will become irrelevant. People want someone who’s actively delivering. Being mayor gives you that platform and the influence that comes with it. Fayyaz completely missed the point.
