Re: ugnet_: Dual citizenship

[J Oracha]

Citizenship is a very sensitive matter. there is no country that can
approach this topic on parochial basis. The methods of becoming a citizen of
a country should be well laid out and deeply considered.
Some of the points that has to be considered are:
what are the intentions of the person wanting citizenship?
What benefit are given those who become citizens?
and many other sensitive questions as in case of a region in continuous
turmoil like Uganda.
