In this episode, I present my research on the story behind the November 3rd terrorist attack in Male’.
Maldivian history has primarily been preserved through oral traditions, with limited written documentation available. As a result, some details presented in this episode may not be entirely precise.
However, I have made every effort to compile and synthesize the information from the sources I was able to access.
