At least four students in North Ari Atoll Malhos have been taken to hospitals in Male’ after they mysteriously fainted.
Five students attending the school have experienced the unusual incident, but the fifth student’s condition was not as serious as the other four.
One male student, who was the first to experience the unusual effects, reportedly lost conscious and was brought Male’ for treatment after he was found in a hypoxic condition, characterised by a lack of oxygen in the blood supply.
Several days later another female student experienced the same condition and was brought Male’ for treatment.
Third student studying at the school fainted while she was at home yesterday, and remains hospitalised in Indira Gandi Memorial Hospital (IGMH).
‘’She fainted while she was at home and she was taken to the health centre immediately,’’ said a family member of the girl, no older than 14. ‘’She remained unconscious for more than two hours in the health centre.’’
The family member said the girl had not claimed to have observed anything unusual before suddenly fainting.
‘’She did not see or feel anything unusual before she just fainted like the others,’’ he said. ‘’The health centre advised her to come Male’ for more treatment and for necessary examinations.’’
He said that many tests conducted so far all showed the results as normal.
‘’It is very strange, we do not know what is going on,’’ he said.
He also said that the fifth student to experience the symptoms, who was of the same age and fainted yesterday, was brought Male’ with her.
‘’The other girl that was brought with her was in a far worse condition. She remained unconscious for more than three or four hours and she does not know what happened to her,” he said.
The family member said that more than four men were needed to hold the girl down when she became conscious, and people observed that she was extremely strong for a girl of her age.
‘’We are suspecting that this is something related to black magic practices,’’ he added.
Another islander, Ahmed Adil ‘Ahukko’, alleged that the cause of the fainting spells was the performance of black magic during the Local Councils Elections in an effort to win votes.
‘’Because it was the island school where the elections were held, the person who did it would probably do it to the school so that it has effect on anyone that enters there,’’ he claimed. ‘’Parents are very concerned and have expressed concern about it now.’’
Although the island is small and isolated with a population of only a few hundred, belief in black magic remains very common and many claim to be victims of such spiritual attacks.

OMG! if real black magician exist he never will use so powerful dark evil energy for such stupid action it is same like using nuclear generator to play ping pong/awake people and please stop accepting Harry Potter movie as reality and it is time to start thinking logically /
These deep-seated beliefs are not be cast away as mere superstition. Sometimes, therein lies the answer to such goings on.
it will take a while for the message of Doom to reach the pre-frontal cortices of these idiots.
is this black magic related to the USD black market?
for heavens sake someone call Prof. Dumbuldore , its the darn Valdormart at it again 🙂
Aah to be naive islanders.
Now now don't be too hasty, only Harry has the spiritual energy to stop Voldemort.
Please make some black majic to lower the US doller value
Naive?! No, we need a whole new word to describe these crazies... And to relate the whole thing to the election... Wow...
They never cease to amaze us...
Lol... mass hysteria?
and yeah Mithra, we need a Harry potter to vanquish Voldy! haha.
Black magic indeed.
There is so much that science cannot explain, and a true scientist would never ignore the possibility that black magic could exist.
Nobody is naive and stupid on this island, what they believe does truly determine their reality. How is anybody else any different?
Black magic exists and works..whether we believe it or not..
Just try it sometimes..
hahaha seriousssssly..how stupid can you be..better they check health conditions in the school and around the island..\m/ in the first comment is right..seems like something in the air or water..or maybe bad nutrition..black magic? yeah it will excist for those who believe in it..then you will start to imagine all kinds of things.. lunatics all of you 🙂
Black Magic... racist much?
Don't be too hasty here.
During the years of our Prophet (PBUH), it was widely practiced.
And by refuting the existence of black magic, and white magic panacea, you are indirectly questioning a foundation column of Islam.
And I am sure you would not want to do that here in Maldives. Because no matter what you believe, your survival becomes the top priority and no one wants a maniacal crowd after you, on account of religion.
Has anyone considered the possibility that these kids might have been sexually assaulted, or are being terrorised by a sexual predator?
The authorities should look into this much more closely. Oxygen is not going to fix them - they probably need psycho-social support and a safe environment to live in!!
The article says :
"The family member said that more than four men were needed to hold the girl down when she became conscious, and people observed that she was extremely strong for a girl of her age."
The last thing the poor kid needed to see was men around her, let alone 4 of them!! No wonder she was strong - she was fighting for her life, no doubt!!!
This country has for too long hidden its abuses of children and other vulnerable people in society, under all kinds of tall stories.
Black magic indeed !!
