it was supposed to happen few days ago. Not sure what’s up with that.
Ah well they need to head to Puntland asap. It's clear that there needs to be deep discussions about what needs to happen in regards to constitutional ammendments. The time line is still too short for my liking though, picking the shortest month of the year to start and only going till March 23rd.
 
I agree about the first half but the second won't happen. It'll take a while before such ideas are considered seriously.
From snooping around Facebook and YouTube No way It's gonna happen any time soon. Somalis both politicans and your average joe are very much against it.

That's why it is a great excuse for Puntland. Beside that, why women can't give citizenship to their children, but the males can?

Nasab and citizenship are different by the way.
I have no problem with the concept of citizenship being pass from either parent. Unfortunately people like us don't run the nation and the old head back home have this veneration for paternal lineage. Personally I think the markers should be whether the child is born in somalia, raised in somalia or has a somali parent.

Yeah I assume so. Personally I don't care too much but I know the men who run the nation and this isn't happening any time soon.
 
He should work on a massive retraining program for the army, mixing the unites, getting rid of warlords and commanders loyal to arabian patrons. Give them proper training and standardize the equipment needed.
How can he do this when his mandate to govern was backed by uae? During our elections, when millions of dollars are being used to pay off clan elders and political actors, its fair to say Arabia's hand in somalia is a lot more than some loyal warlords
 
A compromise is not necessary unless there are enough votes to block the changes. We'll have to wait and see. The only debatable aspect of the proposed changes is the number of parties imo.
Theres enough questionable changes to the constitution highlighted by @𐒋𐒖𐒆𐒔𐒖𐒕𐒈 in this thread


That its clear hsm has taken the MoU as an opportunity to consolidate power. Its common for state actors to use conflicts with others to increase their power

Sad thing is the Somali public fell for it. He clearly has some hand in the MOU to request that bill in parliament before training troops.

Anyone carrying a non-Somali haplogroup really. They can be from any clan.
You'll see their results on this forum and then imagine, they are related to thousands of other men, carrying that same foreign blood-line.
They usually still don’t speak Somali all that well, but they have closer ties to being Somali than if raised through cajnabi father.

this is the way of the deen, you are what your father is. This is an Islamic country.

this bill is NGO we can’t fall for this. Somalia follows the same rule as all eastern countries, why do we have to whitewash ourselves, it’s been brought up three times, next person that brings it up should be tossed out.

it’s not as troublesome as the constitution, but the day this bill goes through, means Somalia has lost to foreign influence

Sheikh Mohamed Idris, Eritrean father, Puntite mother, more useful to Somalis than many Somali men. I can go on and on. And believe me, entire qabiils are founded on similar roots.
I believe Somali mother + raised in Somalia, makes you eligible to be a Somali national.
Why can't a half-Somali be a Somali national, but a 0.5 Ajnabi with foreign heritage on both sides, can?

If you are what your father is, strip the nationality away from all the 0.5 minority groups. And after that, strip it away from the thousands of Somalis with a foreign haplogroup.

If Somali men are afraid of being outnumbered, maybe stop aano qabiil and learn to get along with each other. Because like it or lump it, you are replacing yourselves.

Nah It just don't feel right, you feel me? Like imagine letting some foreign baby with a Madow father be like I'm somali. I don't know, that's just not sitting with me right.

It doesn't have to affect your life.

Somali men need to keep their half-Somalis close instead of making enemies out of them. Why not make good use of it, and send a half-Somali to become president of another nation. Soft power!

There are a number of talented people to Somali mothers who we’d be missing out on by not giving them citizenship, however please understand this is NGO backed, it’s a box that shouldn’t be opened. They asked for khanisnimo in parliament one time, give them an inch they’ll take a mile. If it wasn’t NGO backed and there was no foreign interference it may have been agreeable.

The box was opened thousands of years ago, why don't we focus on laws that harm women, children and the elderly?
 
I hope puntland argues for the removal of the backward FGM, and calls for the right of Somali women to give citizenship to their children.
First one has been outlawed 15 times (every time the Somali government needs foreign money), second one won’t happen, xeer and sharia is unchangable, we won’t give citizenship to the children of Al Qauda and the fascist Italians.
