Somalia President Issues Ultimatum To Ministers: Hand Over Passports Or Quit | Firstpost Africa

Watch this video as Firstpost examines how a deepening diplomatic standoff between Kenya and Somalia has forced President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud to issue a strict ultimatum to his cabinet: hand over your foreign passports or lose your job. The directive comes after Somalia’s Second Deputy Prime Minister Jibril Abdirashid Haji surrendered his Kenyan passport, ID, and birth certificate following a high-profile detention and deportation incident at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. With relations between Nairobi and Mogadishu plunging to new lows over diplomatic protocol snubs, airport detentions, and border disputes, holding dual citizenship has suddenly become an explosive political liability for Somalia’s ruling elite. Alyson Le Grange explains how a clash over Kenyan travel documents has turned into an intense struggle over national loyalty, political trust, and sovereignty across East Africa.
