Despite the long history of Yemeni traders travelling abroad, immigrating, and forming cross-cultural families, the term "Muwalad" is still used today to describe children born to one parent of another nationality.

The term itself is defined in an [URL='http://www.almaany.com/home.php?language=arabic&lang_name=%D8%B9%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%8A&word=%D9%85%D9%88%D9%84%D8%AF']Arabic dictionary
as "an Arab who is not purely Arab." While the term applies to children of Yemeni-Russian, Yemeni-Vietnamese, or Yemeni-Egyptian couples, it is most often used for children of an African parent or a parent with African descent. According to an article by activist Hussein Musleh this term is used for humiliation, as a way to remind the person that he/she is not "pure" Yemeni.

These Muwaladeen are often denied identity cards or passports by officials arguing that they do not have sufficient "evidence" to prove their "Yemeniness" due to their darker skin and sometimes-imperfect Arabic. They are also sometimes looked at as "newcomers" in the country they were born and raised in, and hence treated as such.[/URL]


On March 3, 2014 a decree was passed by the Civil Status Authority, which stated:

"1) It is strictly forbidden to grant identity cards for Muwaladeen born outside Yemen, especially to those born in the Horn of Africa, who do not have proof of Yemeni nationality. 2) Excluded from this, are Muwaladeen born in the Gulf countries, Europe and Asia, provided that their parents are born in Yemen…"

While it goes without saying that proof of citizenship should in fact be a requirement to obtain an identification card, the mere fact that the decree differentiates between people from the Horn of Africa and others, illustrates the innate racism in government institutions against "black" people.

lol yemen is trash :russ:

but how many yemenis are allowed to walk free in somalia :kodaksmiley:
Only Yemenis with a Somali father are allowed a Somali citizenship. But if you mean refugees who are fleeing the war, then there is no requirement on either side of the Gulf of Aden.

What do you mean by "nicer"? There is no special treatment for any refugees whether they be Oromo or Yemeni in Somalia or Somaliland.

the article above that was posted and many other examples exist.
The article is talking about the discrimination that mixed
Ethiopians/Eritreans/Yemenis face in Yemen, hence why it was posted in the Eritrea section. It's not even related to Somalis other than the fact that we're from the Horn of Africa, and it surely doesn't claim that Yemenis are killing Somali refugees.

Do you think that a half dhegocas born in Yemen is eligible for Somali citizenship?

To be eligible you need to either be full Somali (if you're from outside of Somalia), or have a Somali father if you're born and raised in Somalia.

But that wasn't what I asked you. I said, where are the yemenis killing Somali refugees just like how Kenyans and South Africans murdered thousands of us? Because you said that you are a Madow bootyclapper on the other thread.

I swear this is so true.

These Yemeni qashin come to our country, live and integrate, and profit off our land for free, but if a Somali goes to Yemen and tries to do the same, they will enslave him/her with the quickness.

f*ck Xarabs (Arabs). Somalia should institute the same law, since there are Yemenis living on our land.

:damedamn: You guys pay way too much attention to Arabs. In the hierarchy, Yemen is at the bottom of the barrel. Saudi is treating them like subhumans. No surprise there, since when did Arabs get along?:gucciwhat: Weren't they partly responsible for the fall of the Ottomans? In return they were crowned by the British. :chrisfreshhah:Lawerence of Arabia comes to mind.
