Amin Didi did not just hold power for seven months. He ruled the nation for ten years. Many people mistakenly think that Amin Didi ruled from January 1, 1953, to August 21, 1953, however that was merely the period during which he served as president. Image
He presided over the Maldivian government in accordance with the constitution in a variety of roles from April 7, 1943, to his ouster on August 21, 1953, including Interior Minister, Prime Minister, Waliyul Amr (the Supreme Leader), and President. Image
Amin Didi was a member of the Athireege family, one of the two most significant political dynasties in the 19th and 20th century. On his father's maternal side, he also belongs to the Kakaage, the second political family. He was a true Athireege member, though, politically. Image

In a republican system of government the supreme authority of the nation rests with the people and their representatives. The first republican form of government, with an elected head of state and representatives, was adopted by the Maldives on January 1st, 1953. Image
Prior to that, throughout our recorded history, the Maldives had a monarchy that was structured in accordance with the norms of the earliest kingdoms in this region. It was a monarchy that was deeply ingrained in Maldivian culture. Image
The adoption of a republican system on January 1, 1953 was not at all the consequence of protests by the public who disliked the monarchy, were dissatisfied with it, or felt they were denied their rights Image

SULTAN MUHAMMAD IMADUDDEEN V

The death of Sultán Íbráhím Núr-ud-dín (on November 29, 1892) at once opened the flood gates of bitter partisanship and chicanery at Mále.

He had left (besides five daughters) four sons, all minors, by three of his five wives.

The eldest, thirteen or fourteen years of age, was born to Don Gomá, a niece of Muhammad Dídí Ranna Baderi Kilégefánu (of Kakaage); the second son, child of Bodugalu-ge Didi, was a boy of but eight. Within a week of communicating (December 8, 1892)...
