THE new president of the Maldives said yesterday that he was ready to face an independent investigation into the transfer of power in the Indian Ocean nation that his predecessor alleges was a coup.
President Mohammed Waheed Hassan said he had given an assurance to visiting United States Assistant Secretary of State Robert Blake that he was willing to submit to a probe by an independent body as questions had arisen about his takeover of power.
Blake flew into the capital Male early yesterday to assess the political situation in Maldives after the former president Mohamed Nasheed said he was ousted in a coup.
Blake also met with Nasheed yesterday.
Nasheed resigned last Tuesday after police joined months of street protests against his rule and soldiers defected. He was replaced by Hassan, his vice president.
Nasheed later said he was ousted in a coup, and there is an arrest warrant against him. The new government denies the coup claims and insists Nasheed stepped down voluntarily.
