Reading more on this, sounds like a successful version of the coup against Chavez in '03.
Nasheed was a good leader. He was progressive and had good ideas. That could never be accepted by the religious conservatives. They need knucklehead idiots who subscribe to beligerent superstitions.
...and the US acknowdged the change of leadership the very day after the alleged non-coup, no questions. Not surprising coming from a place where talk about climate change has become comparable to blasphemy.
Politics and religion do not mix.
