Tackling gang violence is not a “police problem” and there are limits to investigating gang-related crime, according to the assistant commissioner of police.
So the police have constraints and the Government is looking for excuses to pass the blame.
The Gayoom government made sure that it addicted our youth to illegal drugs by taking a lax attitude to drug trafficking during the last thirty years. Many Maldivians accuse some leading officials of the Gayoom government of conniving with the drug traffickers to benefit financially. This is the reason why the Gayoom Government did not have the political will to stop the menace of the illegal drug trade. The explosion of street violence has a direct link to the widespread abuse and addiction to the illegal drugs.
President Nasheed's MDP campaigned to clean up this mess.
But the way to do that is not to pass the buck from one to another.
The feuding street gangs are settling the final score by killing each other.
The suspects in the last two street murder cases of Ali Ishar and Shifau Ismail were released a month before presidential elections on court order. No one has been charged in court for these murders yet.
To provide safety for the people, the police will have to crack down hard on such violent street gangs and the legal system will have to impose appropriate deterrent sentences without delay. Justice delayed is justice lost.
Nasheed's government will be failing to provide safety to the citizens if it does not take tough action immediately to stop this deadly violence.

What we need to do is uproot these pansies from power and stick them in concentration camps. Televise (Live) their agony for the enjoyment of the People.
Then install a new government with support of the Army.
Change the police uniforms into plain wear, and give them automatic pistols. Then when one of the officers see a murder in progress, he is to be allowed to flash his badge and fire upto three shots into the head of the criminal(s).
Gang meeting happening?. Drive a Military Tank in and crush them with storm troopers. No bling-wearing party will complain when a loaded assault shotgun is pointed to their bleached hair.
Hi The Shadowrunner
Thanks for your comment. I support tough action to root out the street gangs and their leaders.
We should impose death penalty for drug traffickers, the people who plan and profit from addicting our children.
What is happening in Maldives is a human tragedy with huge consequences.
Our government is playing cat and mouse games, lock up criminals and release them only to find them adding to the drug distribution and street violence.
I got those ideas from Adolf Hitler - see, what we're experiencing today is hauntingly similar to the crisis post-WWI Germany faced.
Adolf Hitler's no-nonsense policy against looters, criminals and loan-sharks (not by just speeches, he had his Storm Troopers carry out his promises BEFORE he got elected) gave him a landslide victory. I've learnt a lot more about politics by reading his autobiography.
"So if they think they can scream and whine after we expose their horrendous fraud against the good people of Germany, let them ;- for the scream of the 12-inch shrapnel shell is louder than them."
"The only political camp who decried our tactics were the democratic pacifists, who lamented our striking back against the Marxist threat, not by plaintive chants and negotiation, but by whatever weapon we could procure."
