Explanation:

Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed has reappointed his cabinet which staged a mass resignation last week. He swore in the 13-member cabinet on the seafront in the capital, Male. The president gave ministers the same portfolio they had before they resigned, officials in the president's office said. The 13 resigned in protest at what they said were attempts by parliament of the Indian Ocean country repeatedly to block the government's work. Presidential aides say that Mr Nasheed is eager to end his power struggle with parliament.
