Saudi Arabia gives citizenship to a robot while many Somalis born there never get that privilege

[Holac]

 

Meet Sophia, a robot who made her first public appearance in the Saudi Arabian city of Riyadh on Monday. Sophia was such a hit she was immediately given Saudi citizenship in front of hundreds of delegates at the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh on 25 October. But as pictures and videos of Sophia began circulating on social media many started to ask why a robot already seemed to have secured more rights than others in the country.

I actually agree with the Saudi policy of not handing out their passports will nilly like these clueless Western countries do. 

 

You will never see a terrorist carrying a Japanese passport.

 

Citizenship entails blood ties to a country and deep rooted connection to a land not something to be bought and sold or attained easily by staying in a country for few years.
