| Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed announced his resignation on Tuesday following weeks of public protests over his controversial order to arrest a senior judge.
Nasheed presented his resignation in a nationally televised address after police joined the protesters and then clashed with soldiers in the streets.
"I don't want to hurt any Maldivian. I feel my staying on in power will only increase the problems, and it will hurt our citizens," Nasheed said. "So the best option available to me is to step down."
