27.05.2007:
Forum on the Criteria for the Somaliland Citizenship
The Academy for Peace and Development (APD) is pleased
to invite you to the Forum for Civic Dialogue, a regularly held
public gathering at which pertinent political, social and developmental
issues are openly discussed and ideas for solving them are freely
exchanged.
The Somaliland citizenship law has been enacted
in 2002. The Act of Registration has been recently passed. The Registration
is required to be carried out through out Somaliland, which requires
citizenship identification. The key questions for this forum are:
- What are the parameters for the criteria of Somaliland Citizenship
in general?
- What is the nature and scope of the current Somaliland Citizenship
Law?
- How is it unique? What are the gaps? Is there a need for amendment?
The discussion will be introduced by
Mohamed Matan Jama
Advocate and lecturer at Hargeisa University.
The Forum will take place on
27th May at 7:30 PM at the Maansoor
Hotel.
Ground rules for the Forum:
- Focus on the topic for the night and focus on the issues- no
personal attacks please. Feel free to present any viewpoint relevant
to the topic under discussion.
- We expect tolerance, civility, and respect from all sides to
all sides- the aim is to promote the best for Somaliland, not
to score a point against someone or a group.
- Allow and encourage participation from audience-we value participation
dialogue.
- Respect the time allocated to you-do not feel offended if you
are kept to the time allocated to you.
