The exhibition, part of MNDF’s nationwide events to honor the memory of Victory Day, is being held in Thinadhoo in remembrance of Shaheed Corporal Abdullah Zuhair — the first soldier martyred during the November 3, 1988, attack.
According to MNDF, the exhibition will feature a Victory Day photo display, military showcases, and a family evening. The events will take place today and tomorrow at GDh. Atoll Education Centre.
The exhibition will be open to the public from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM and again from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM today. Tomorrow, it will continue from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
The November 3 attack remains one of the darkest moments in Maldivian history, during which 8 soldiers and 11 civilians were martyred defending the country’s independence. MNDF stated that the exhibition aims to honor these national heroes and reignite the patriotic spirit of Victory Day.
