18 Albarazi non-citizens.18 Therefore, due to this and/or lack of documentation, stateless persons are unable to possess property (often including buildings, land and vehicles) anywhere. Several examples as to where this is the case is the Nubians of Kenya. In this country, the property ownership is strongly tied to citizenship rights - this leaves stateless Nubians unable to purchase property.19 As a direct consequence of the restrictions on the property rights, a stateless person often becomes also unable to inherit what is bequeathed to them.20 Alongside the obvious economic consequences of the inability to possess or inherit, and the furthering of the ostracization of this community, it also means that stateless persons will often resort to registering their possessions under the name of a national, most often a family member who has citizenship. This puts the stateless person in a highly vulnerable position, and makes them fear that their possession will be appropriated. Ultimately, this often results in causing tension between family members. Ali, a stateless bidoon of Kuwait, tells of the situation he is in: I have registered my car in my brother-in-laws name, although it is mine. I like him, I think he is a good guy. However I keep telling my sister to make sure he is fine with me, to say good things about me to him. I don’t want him to be angry with me. I could be left with nothing.21 Also at times of inheritance, this could create further problems between family members where the legal inheritor ignore the real owners. 18 19 20 21 Please Insert fn.
