About this listen

This episode breaks down the Nubian Community v. Kenyan Government case, one of the most important child-rights and statelessness decisions in Africa.

I explain how Kenya’s failure to recognise Nubian children as citizens led to generations being denied nationality, education, healthcare, and basic legal protection.

The discussion walks through the facts of the case, the arguments raised before the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, and why the Committee found Kenya in violation of children’s rights.

The episode also unpacks what this decision means in practice; both for Nubian children and for states that use discriminatory nationality laws, and why the ruling matters far beyond Kenya.
