Malidives President Abdulla Yameen. The Maldives’ dissident former president met opposition groups in neighbouring Sri Lanka today to hatch a plan to topple strongman president Abdulla Yameen, opposition sources told AFP. “The opposition leaders are meeting in Colombo to work out strategies to legally topple Yameen,” one MDP member told AFP. The Male-based news outlet Maldives Independent said Nasheed and two other seniors of the MUO arrived in Sri Lanka on Wednesday. “The website report is accurate,” a person close to the MDP told AFP.
