The Maldives government announced Tuesday an end to a state of emergency, which was imposed last week after an alleged attempt to assassinate President Abdulla Yameen, AFP reports.
"Maldives lifts State of Emergency with immediate effect," the foreign ministry said on Twitter.
"Pleased that this matter has been dealt with so swiftly. Country back on a more normal footing," Foreign Minister Dunya Maumoon said in a separate post.
