The document asked the ruler of Ajman to grant them UAE citizenship to the mentiond family “as those who got it, so that they can live in their home country, the UAE” according to the document.
The document, which was published on March 13, 2016, was confirmed by the elder sheikh Socotra Salman Abdullah Shaloulha.
