President Nasheed writes article for Huffington Post. But Maldivians can't read.

Eid Mubaarik to blog readers. Late saying Eid Mubaarik because gone to Eid Holidays for alif atoll Maalhos. Now back to blogging. Today I met my friend Naseem near Fish Market. Naseem tell me President Nasheed write article for The Huffington Post. President write very good article in English. President also has very good English writer Paul Roberts at President's Office.

But majority of Maldivians unable to read this article because internet not good in majority islands or no internet available. My friend Ali from Angolhitheemu Raa Atoll can't read article. Because only island office having slow internet by 56k modem. Ali can't read English but very much like to go to website The Huffington Post because he very much fan of Anni. Anni was banished to Angolhiteemu. Angolhitheemu the Slave Island. Rasgetheemu the King's Island. Even today Angolhitheemu still slaves' island because people enslaved without internet. My friend Bakuru, fisherman from Kumundhoo Haa Dhaal Atoll also like to see The Huffington Post article. But he can't see because no internet at island. He very much fan of Anni because Anni promise coffee for Kumundhoo people from Kulhudhuffushi.

President Nasheed very much celebrity now. But Maldivians can't see the celebrity video and can't read the celebrity articles. Maldivians always pay high price to Dhiraagu and ROL if we don't act now. Making internet affordable (aiy foaraa fashah) requires real grassroots movement.
