i extend to you, in your capacity as deputy prime minister, minister of interior and minister of defense, my sincere thanks for your trust, and i believe that i have lived up to your expectations.
the truth is that i have sensed in you credibility, sincerity and determination to work hard and continuously, without hesitation, despite the minor shortcomings that i have fallen into. logic says that the only way to avoid making mistakes is to not do any work.
we congratulate you on the leadership’s confidence in you, and you seem to be the man of the moment, the moment of cleaning up fi les and removing all the impurities, faults and mistakes that have tarnished the country’s reputation over the past several years, as a result of government laxity and the exploitation of that laxity by many members of previous national assembly to achieve their personal interests and the interests of their voters.
we also understand the logic that says that we no longer have the luxury of time and the ability to distinguish between clean citizenship fi les that meet the conditions and others, due to the long wait and the accumulation of cases.
therefore, the wise decision came to withdraw, lose and immediately cancel all citizenships, based on suspicion or because the decision to grant citizenship violates the laws, while keeping humanitarian aid for those whose citizenships were withdrawn as is, until the issue of each process is decided by the grievance committees.
we do not want to reject the judiciary, but we only want clarity in it, and to know it in advance, with our full acceptance of it. this is not a favor, but rather a right upon us from our wise leadership, which knows things better than us, and what is in our interest.
the number of those whose nationality has been withdrawn, dropped or lost has approached ten thousand, and the rest are on the way, until this boil that has greatly affected the social fabric of the state, exhausted the state budget, and spread political and administrative corruption in an unprecedented manner is finished.
the wait to finish it has been very long, after it has been saturated with debate, research and talk for decades, without a firm and clear decision! as long as the wheel of withdrawal, dropping and loss has begun its journey, we hope that your excellency will achieve the following matters, and clarify others:
“first: in order for troubled souls to calm down and know where they stand, the matter requires the issuance of a clear decision regarding the withdrawal of the citizenship of “every” foreign wife for whom a ministerial decision has been issued to naturalize her.
“second: we also hope to specify the time period that the withdrawal will include. does it start from the date of issuance of the nationality law, or from the period after liberation, or what?
“third: clear emphasis that the work of the grievance committees will be in conjunction with the work of the committees for withdrawing and losing citizenship.
this will greatly reduce the confusion and consequences, and will make it easier for the families concerned to arrange their affairs and apply to the embassies of their former countries that relinquished their citizenships to request their return.
this usually takes a lot of time and effort, in addition to what is required in terms of visits to various government departments to obtain the required certificates and statements.
“fourth: the grievance structure should consist of several committees, not one committee, composed of civilian and military figures, in order to expedite the consideration of grievances and restore citizenship to all those who deserve it, before these people, if possible, enter into the consequences and procedures of withdrawal, and the family, judicial and commercial problems that will be caused, which are difficult for many families to limit or deal with.
“your positive stance on these matters and proposals will be praised, appreciated and comforting to all citizens.”
