For the life of me, I’ll never understand why a man can pass on his citizenship but a woman who is the one who has birthed her offsprings can’t even secure the right of her child to live In her nation with the rights that she possesses.
As for the posters claims of it being ‘Islamic’, that is a cop out. Islam doesn’t recognize nationalism nor is it a concept in Islam of man made colonial inventions of countries and passports. This is a 20th century issue that Muslims of the past didn’t deal with since people traveled freely and lived amongst different groups without a need for documentation and the like.
If ethnic minorities who are indeed a product of mixed marriages between Somali women and foreigners are given citizenship despite not belonging to Somali tribes, so can sons and daughters of Somali women who have certain Somali blood.
Nations and tribes aren’t the same thing. I know you are what your father is based on lineage, but the Somali nation isn’t built on Somali linage.
It’s 2024 and we’re still debating this. Arab countries are trying to change this law and move on and Western raised Somali kids who have a white man’s passport are trying to argue this. It’s hypocrisy.
