Has the Somali Constitution from 1960 been abrogated or is it still practicly in use?

[haxxor]

Should be still in use, unless someone invoked it.

[Coeus]

[PrinceDaadi]

The constitution of 1960 is used as reference to all constitution making and every article of the constitution must not have a conflict with that of 1960.

Heard few months back then that some other countries was not happy with that and they want that to be removed. I haven't heard anything after it.

Intellectuals and Somalinet in the same sentence


the 1960 Constitution has not existed since 21, oct 1969 when the socialist popular revolution abolished it.

Does anybody have a copy of the constitution?

[Coeus]

Haxxor

Kenya & Ethiopia and other black African Countries are usually the ones opposed to this.

Ive read the constitution and i must say it is very satisfactory.

Here are some:

1. Every citizen shall be loyal to the State.

2. The defence of the homeland shall be the duty of every citizen.

2. Sovereignty belongs to the people who shall exercise it in theforms determined by the Constitution and the laws. No part of the people nor any individual may claim sovereignty or assume the right to exercise it.

All citizens, without distinction of race, national origin, birth,language, religion, sex, economic or social status, or opinion, shall have equal rights and duties before the law.

3. Islam shall be the religion of the State.
