Thinadhoo City

[5] On August 30, 2023, President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih formally announced Thinadhoo Island in Gaafu Dhaal Atoll as a city, utilizing the authority granted to him by Section 51 (a) of the Maldives' Decentralisation Act (Law number 7/2010).

[6] The decision was made because of the island's significant population and its crucial role in delivering a diverse range of services to the inhabitants of the atolls.

Havaru Thinadhoo was the economic hub of the United Suvadive Republic, an unrecognised breakaway nation from Maldives.

On 4 February 1962 the Kingdom of Maldives reacted by sending a fully armed gunboat to Havaru Thinadhoo commanded by Prime Minister Ibrahim Nasir.

Twenty one people died with two missing when Enamaa capsized into the sea of Gaafu Dhaalu atoll on 17 March 2004.

[21] Kaadedhdhoo Domestic Airport is situated on a nearby island connected by speed boat which can be reached to Thinadhoo in 5-10 minutes.
