You live in a country your whole life, you grow up there, and you consider it your home… yet you remain a foreigner in the eyes of the law. What makes a country your country? Is it your life and your sense of belonging, or the nationality you hold?
In this episode of #AlQassasa, we delve into the topic of nationality and citizenship: how you obtain it, what rights it grants you, and how you can lose it. Drawing on the experiences of stateless people and the revocation of citizenship in Kuwait, we discuss how these decisions affect people's lives and their relationship with their country.
We revisit the story of a man who bought a new nationality, but it didn't protect him from arrest, to understand the limits of the protection a passport offers and the difference between holding a nationality and truly belonging to a country.
An episode about homeland and rights, and about a seemingly simple question: Who decides if you're a citizen?
