"On the ride up Pennsylvania Avenue . . . I told Barack Obama about my frustrations with the pardon system,” Bush wrote in his memoir.
Obama did not seriously focus on pardons and commutations until 2014, two years into his second term. But on Thursday, his last full day in office, Obama announced 330 more commutations, for nonviolent drug offenders, bringing his total number of clemencies to 1,715. He has granted commutations to more people than the past 12 presidents combined, including 568 inmates with life sentences. He has granted 212 pardons. His final group of clemencies was the most Obama granted in a day and the most granted on one day in U.S. history.

Waagacusubmedia.info - Becoming an American citizen through naturalization requires taking the Oath of Allegiance, loudly. The first part of the Oath of Allegiance reads, "I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen." Mr. Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo did exactly that when he took the Oath of Allegiance and became a US citizen some 30 years ago. On 8 February 2017, he was elected President of the Federal Republic of Somalia.

طالب البرلمان الأوروبي دولة الإمارات بالتوقف عن كل عمل من شأنه أن يهدد الاستقرار في الصومال، وباحترام سيادته ووحدة ترابه. وعبر البرلمان في قرار له أمس الخميس بشأن الصومال عن قلقه من التدخلات الإماراتية والسعودية في هذا البلد الأفريقي، موضحا أن الصومال حاول البقاء على الحياد في الأزمة الخليجية، لكن ذلك عرضه للحرمان من المساعدات التي كانت تقدمها السعودية والإمارات. وأضاف القرار الأوروبي أن قطع المساعدات أضعف قدرة الحكومة الصومالية على دفع تعويضات قوات الأمن. وقبل نحو شهرين، اجتمع في مدينة عنتيبي الأوغندية سفراء الاتحاد الأوروبي لدى دول القرن الأفريقي وأعربوا عن قلقهم من "تدخلات دول الخليج في الشأن الصومالي، وخاصة الإمارات" التي تدخلت عسكريا قبالة سواحل القرن الأفريقي، إلى جانب إسهامها في تصاعد الخلاف بين الأطراف السياسية الصومالية، مما أدى إلى ارتفاع وتيرة المناخ السياسي. المصدر : الجزيرة Full Article
