Local News - 31 May 2005 Adduvas cover changed under pressure from Gayyoo Male' - A few issues of Adduvas Weekly has been quite critical of Gayyoom and his cronies. Its readership had increased quite a bit over the last 2 months and gets sold out within hours of publication. However, the last issue of the magazine was banned by Gayyoom because the cover had an artists impression of Gayyoom. The new issue has the same headline but different cover. There are reports now that its Editor Abdul Hannan has also now resigned because he has recently had a promotion and is scared that he might loose his job. Adduvas cover of the last issue was sent to Gayyoom from Loamaafaanu Print of the Haveeru group. Gayyoom cannot digest criticim of his rule nor can he respect the constitution and guarantee freedom of expression and allow a free media to operate because he knows that it will destroy him completely.
