My research on how Liberians view citizenship in general and dual citizenship in particular suggests that Weah won’t easily get his way. These factors greatly influence whether they reject or accept dual citizenship and the “Negro clause”. For example, I found that poor Liberian-based Liberians were more opposed to abolishing the “Negro clause” and adopting dual citizenship than their better-off diaspora counterparts. They vetoed the enactment of dual citizenship and removal of the “Negro clause”. I will focus here on displacement and dispossession as well as the lack of enforcement of citizenship laws.
