Sumuvvul Ameer Mohamed Amin Dhoshimeynaa Kilegefaanu (Dhivehi: ސުމުއްވުލް އަމީރު މުހައްމަދު އަމީން ދޮށިމޭނާ ކިލެގެފާނު; July 20, 1910 – January 19, 1954), popularly known as Mohamed Amin Didi, was a Maldivian politician who served as the first president of the Maldives and as the head of government between January 1, 1953, and August 21, 1953. Amin Didi was also the principal of Majeedhiyya School from 1946 to 1953.[1]
Amin Didi was the leader of the first political party in the Maldives, Rayyithunge Muthagaddim Party.[1][2] His political program included efforts to modernize the country, including the advancement of women, education in the Maldives,[3] nationalising the fish export industry and an unpopular ban on tobacco smoking.[4]
Amin Didi took office during post World War II period, a time when the country was in widespread famine and exhausted resources.
