📢 “Prolonged #statelessness is not an abstract legal question- it is daily fear, uncertainty and humiliation.” Ms. Animu’s case shows why #nationality must be protected. Read the full statement here: https://t.co/oB30vZYkDj

[Southern African Nationality Network (SANN) @NetworkSouthern]

Nationality is not a political tool.

Ms Animu was arbitrarily stripped of her nationality and rendered stateless. The African Commission ruled in her favour. South Sudan has yet to comply.

We stand with Animu and all those impacted by arbitrary deprivation of nationality.

The @ACHPR decision is clear — the government of South Sudan must act now to implement it and restore her citizenship without delay.
