Article Neutrality

Some of the neutrality issues I found in this article:

"inmates were injured with gunshot wounds at the hands of the MNDF"
"In recent times, the MNDF has been used as a tool by Gayoom to spread fear and intimidation and to crack down on democratic activists who are critical of his rule."

What do you think? Xumm1du 08:27, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, obviously this should neutralised. --Oblivious 12:07, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

POV in section on Special Forces

Neutrality issues with this article were raised long ago, and many of these problems remain 8 years after they were first mentioned. I think these problems are particularly relevant in the Special Forces section. "The lethal special forces unit of the MNDF as they are highly trained and ready for any challenge facing the nation. They are armed with the most advanced and state of the art weapons and gear, and will not hesitate to use them when the situation demands it." sounds like it's from a brochure glorifying the great Special Forces, not an encyclopedia entry. -- MASQUERAID
