[Aurelian]

 

[WayyyyOUT1]

Immigration laws and citizenship changed? Will we now allow foreigners in the future to vote and become Somali citizens? damn shame UN got this parliament on lock what ever they say they pass.

There was any information, just 145 votes for the bill. Only seven were against.

Still, these types of bills being voted on without prior discussion or publication became prevalent these days

What’s been changed in the bill ?

It effectively gives nationality pathway to anyone living in Somalia.

You no longer need to have a Somali father to get citizenship

this should never happen.


It violates the entire purpose of the Somali nation.

 

[Avalanche]

So you don't need to have a Somali father to get a citizenship anymore?

 

[bidenkulaha]

this should never happen

It’s passed the lower house on 3rd reading and is going to the upper House for its final vote before the president signs.

The UN/IC wants this desperately

Yes from what’s been said by people familiar with the bill, it allows half Somalis with non-Somali fathers get citizenship and vote in elections.

Not many people will take advantage of this if we’re honest. Hardly any of these half Somali kids want to go back to somalia. The actual bigger issue is the Oromo and other neighbours who can vote and become Somali citizens

The goal is to dilute the ethnic make up of the country


What stops say a Bantu soldier from Uganda who's married to a Madowweyne from getting naturalized, or the Yemeni shop keeper, or the Syrian dentist. The Somali citizenship means they have the right to become sole owners of businesses, buy land and we have to compete with ajaanib in our soil.

They need to revaluate this bill. The UN/US know Somalis are ethnonationalists are trying to erase the Somali identity. Oromos and Bantus will take over if this happens. This why they want Somalia to join the EAC as well.

The Oromos are the most dangerous demographic

 

[Somali Saayid]

No way,

You need Hoyoo iyo Abo Somali to get citizenship, they're trying to let the Oromos in!

tbh I just want a finished constitution that is standardized in all federal states.

 

[Chaseyourdreamzz]

Wow the average person has no idea this is happening there should at least be public consultation on such matters

The somali passport has seen worse times tbh. Young people go to study in alot different countries in eastern europe, asia etc

In Somalia we have laws that protects the citizen from exploitation especially entrepreneurs. Ajaanib can't be sole owners and a citizen has to own at least 40% of shares.

15 bills are in the pipeline. This is the most productive parliament we’ve ever had. It’s due to the IC using debt relief as an excuse to get a lot of things that used to be unable to pass. If you listen to parliament a lot of MPs are just saying ‘let’s stop taking so long, we have September deadline for IMF debt relief’

tbh I just want a finished constitution that is standardized in all federal states.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they finish the constitution (by adding a bunch of amendments). But the problem has always been it will remain provisional till SL rejoins because it would be effectively accepting Somaliland’s independence when you can’t have a referendum in Hargiesa but Garowe, Dhusamareb, Jowhar, Mogadishu, Baydhabo, Kismayo vote on it.
