Description: The categories of people at risk of statelessness in the Horn of Africa are not dissimilar to those in other parts of the African continent. The first category is the most widely dispersed; that of vulnerable children, and the adults they become. Other groups at risk of statelessness are cross-border populations, including nomadic communities, refugees and migrants without documentation of another nationality – and especially their descendants- and generally people of mixed ancestry and thus potential dual nationality, but who have no documentation from any state. This report also highlights the members of the various minority communities in Somalia and people of Eritrean descent living in Ethiopia.
