Afeef pleaded for support and recognition from Britain in the 25 May 1959 edition of The Times of London.[4] However, the initial lukewarm support from the British for the small breakaway nation was withdrawn in 1961 when the British signed a treaty with the Maldive Islands without involving Afeef.[citation needed] Following that treaty, the Suvadives had to endure an economic embargo.[citation needed] Furthermore, in 1962, Nasir sent gunboats from Malé, with government police on board, in order to eliminate elements opposed to his rule.[2] One year later, the United Suvadive Republic was scrapped,[citation needed] and Abdullah Afif went into exile to the Seychelles[2] where he later died in 1993.[5]
