Hundreds of thousands of people living in Africa find themselves
non-persons in the only state they have ever known. Because they
are not recognised as citizens, they cannot get their children
registered at birth or entered in school or university; they cannot
access state health services; they cannot obtain travel documents,
or employment without a work permit; and if they leave the country
they may not be able to return. Most of all, they cannot vote,
stand for office, or work for state institutions. Ultimately such
policies can lead to economic and political disaster, or even war.
The conflicts in both Cote d'Ivoire and the Democratic Republic of
Congo have had at their hearts the very right of one part of the
national population to share with others on equal terms the rights
and duties of citizenship. This book brings together new material
from across Africa of the most egregious examples of citizenship
discrimination, and makes the case for urgent reform of the law.
