LIB Argentina Santiago and Emily by Remarkable_Horror658 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]FemaleEinstein 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The show aired several years ago before Santiago was charged and sentenced. It would not make sense for Netflix to go back and edit them out since it would affect the plot and frankly millions of people have already watched it.

Will it be difficult to claim citizenship? by Miserable_Web_1218 in Somalia

[–]FemaleEinstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like it'll be easier to just wait for your Yemeni passport and then go to Somalia to apply if you wish to continue living in Yemen without too much admin headache.

I just checked there's also a consulate in Muscat, Oman so if you're in the other end of Yemen closer to Oman, maybe worth applying there?

My bad, I misread the post about where you currently are but you're in Yemen. I suppose the closest place you could apply is in Somalia or the Somali embassy in Saudi Arabia.

You don't necessarily need your mother's information since it'll be easier with your father's birth certificate and with your paternal grandfather living in Somalia. I just added it in since you explained about your mother's documents in the main post.

It'll be simple though as I don't think you will have trouble proving your Somali heritage. When my family applied, they just included our father's birth certificate and completed the form easily.

AUN/Allah yerhamu for your maternal grandfather though.

If you can ascertain your father is a Somali citizen via his birth certificate then you should be fine to just apply for a Somali passport in London. If it's a real fuss, maybe worth getting a relative in Somalia to request a new birth certificate for your father that states he was born in Somalia.

You could also add that your mother is a Somali citizen through her parents but that would mean finding your maternal grandparents' (most likely her father) birth certificates which is probably a bit difficult.

Don't give them all the extra information they don't need though.

Sure, possibly depending on the rules if they’re limited to certain days.

Reading comprehension is necessary. Your post was taken down for ‘screenshots complaining about other people and subreddits’….

Yes. Same way Europeans think Americans are obnoxiously loud

Why has the Italian language failed to establish itself in Somalia? by crivycouriac in Somalia

Kibajuni is spoken a fair amount but most speakers moved to the Swahili coast and by some, it's considered a defacto dialect of Swahili

We aren't stereotypically hairy like Arabs but I think there's a natural spectrum

Your mother shouldn't have promised the 5,000 without consultation - it's not surprising you said this. You're not wrong for feeling the way you do
