According to tradition, Islam was adopted in 1153. Originally, the islands were under the Control of Sri Lanka. They came under British protection in 1887 and were a dependency of Sri Lanka until 1948. An independence agreement with Britain was signed July 26, 1965. For centuries a sultanate, the islands adopted a republican form of government in 1952, but the sultanate was restored in 1954. In 1968, however, as the result of a referendum, a republic was again established in the recently independent country. Ibrahim Nasir, the authoritarian president since 1968, was removed from office and replaced by the more progressive Maumoon Abdul Gayoom in 1978. Gayoom was elected to a sixth five-year term in 2003. They are now lead by Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, elected in 2018. ]]> 2018-11-29 15:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mackenzieelysabeth/5xsd23gs9sga/wish/309335689
