Here is an interesting public announcement put out by the "Mahkamathul Aman Aammu" or the Office for Public Safety on 11 July 1959. This request by Ibrahim Nasir essentially calls for Maldivian men aged 15 and above, brave enough to do anything required of him and ready to sacrifice themselves in the name of the country and religion in the fight against the rebellion in the South, to come forward and submit their names and addresses.

Sort of amusing isn't it?
