I-Yemen ime njengesoyikiso esibi samazwe amane apho imeko yendlala ezayo iye yathethwa ukuba ibandakanya eyona ngxaki inkulu yoluntu ukusukela oko kwasekwa i-UN Ngo-Meyi 2.nd, I-2017, i I-UN Ofisi yoLungelelwano lweeNkonzo zoLuntu wapapashwa kwi-infographic Ukuchaza iimeko e-Yemen apho i-17 yezigidi ze-Yemenis-okanye malunga neepesenti ezingama-60 zabemi-abakwazi ukufikelela kukutya. I-US kunye nabalingane bayo bayaqhubeka nokuqhushumisa i-Yemen.
UJan Egeland, ophethe i-Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), uthi izigidi ezisixhenxe ze-Yemeni ziphezu kwendlala. "Ndiyothuka kumathambo am," kusho uEgeland, emva kokutyelela iYemen imihla emihlanu. "Ihlabathi livumela amadoda angama-7 yezigidi, abesetyhini kunye nabantwana bancinci kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo baxhamle ..." U-Egeland ubeka le ntlekele "abantu abanezibhamu kunye namandla kummandla weengingqi kunye namazwe ngamazwe achitha yonke imizamo yokukhusela indlala ekhuseleke ngokupheleleyo, kunye ukuwa kweenkonzo zempilo kunye nezemfundo kwizigidi zabantwana. "Egeland kunye ne-NRC inxeba kuwo onke amaqela ekuxabaneni, kuquka i-Saudi Arabia, i-United Arab Emirates, i-Iran, i-US kunye ne-UK ukuthetha ngokutsha komlilo.
Leveki, imeko imele ibe yinto embi kakhulu ngokubakho bombom, ngokuseSaudi Arabia, enye yamazwe aseMelika afutshane kakhulu, okuxhaswa ngumnxeba weHodeida.
I-Egeland igxininisa ukubaluleka kokugcina uncedo lwabantu luhamba ngeHodeida, izibuko elimi nje iintsuku okanye iiyure ukusuka ekutshatyalalisweni. "Umanyano lomkhosi olukhokelwa yiSaudi, oluxhaswe yiNtshona lusoyikisile ngokuhlasela izibuko," utshilo u-Egeland, "elinokuthi lilitshabalalise linciphise nezibonelelo kwizigidi zabantu abalambileyo." Inkongolo yase-US abantu abafuna ukuhlala ekutshatyalalisweni kwezibuko abakaphumeleli kwimvume evela koorhulumente baseSaudi okanye baseMelika.
Urhulumente wase-US okwangoku akakhange aqaphele nongxamiseko oluthile malunga nokuphelisa okanye ukunqumamisa ungquzulwano, kwaye akanalo neqabane lakhe elisondeleyo kuzwilakhe lwase-Saudi UMphathiswa Wezomkhosi wase-Saudi Arabia, INkosana Mohammed bin Salman kutshanje "Imbono enhle yemfazwe yaseYemen." (ENew York Times, NgoMeyi 2, 2017). Ukholelwa ukuba imikhosi yase-Saudi inokukhawuleza ihluthe abavukeli bakaHouthi, kodwa kunokubeka engozini ibutho laseSaul uthi "u manyano ulindele ukuba abavukeli baxineke. "
"Ixesha liyamthanda," wongezelela.
Nokuba iHodeida iyasinda, kuncitshisiwe ukungeniswa kokutya kunye nepetroli evela kwindawo yaseSaudi ebekwe ngumkhosi waselwandle ibeka ixabiso lezinto eziyimfuneko ezingaphaya kwelona lihlwempuzekileyo. Ngeli xesha ungquzulwano olude, lukhutshelwe ngaphandle ngurhulumente oziva ngathi "ixesha likwicala lalo" kwaye liphawulwe zii-airstrike ezibulalayo, liye lafudusa abo bahluphekileyo laya kwiindawo apho ukungabikho kokutya kuphezulu.
Ababaleki abavela kumazwe amathathu aseNyakatho Afrika apho ingxabano isongela ukubeka indlala enzima iYemen endleleni yabo yokubaleka kwilizwekazi, ngoko baye babalekela imfazwe kunye neendlala kuphela ekubanjweni kwimeko embi kakhulu yile minyaka edlwengulayo.
The UNkomishinala oMkhulu weeLungelo loLuntu, UZeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, uchaza imeko yangoku, kwiminyaka emibini ukususela kwi-airstrikes yase-Saudi yandisa ingxabano:
Ukufa kobundlobongela ababalekela enye imfazwe, abadobi, iintsapho kwiimarike-oku kukuthi ukuxabana kweYemen kubonakala ngathi emva kweminyaka emibini emva kokuba kuqale ... ngokukrakra kakhulu, ngokungabonakali ngokubhekiselele kwimpilo yabantu kunye nezibonelelo.
"Ukulwa eHodeida kuye kwabangela ukuba abantu abathintekayo babanjwe ngamashumi amawaka - njengoko kwakunjalo kwi-Al Mokha ngoFebruwari - kwaye sele sele ephazamise ukukhutshwa kakubi kweenkonzo zoncedo. Iminyaka emibini yobundlobongela obunzima kunye nokuchithwa kwegazi, amawaka abantu abafa kunye nezigidi zabantu banqwenela amalungelo abo asemgangathweni ekudleni, amanzi, impilo kunye nokukhuseleko - okwanelisayo. Ndiyanxusa onke amaqela kwimpikiswano, kunye nalabo abanempembelelo, ukusebenza ngokukhawuleza ekuphelelweni komlilo opheleleyo ukuzisa le ngxabano eyingozi, kwaye kuququzelele kunokuba kuvimbele ukuhanjiswa kweenkonzo zoncedo. "
Ixesha alikho kwelinye icala malunga neengxaki eYemen. Njengemibono ebomvu yemigulane ephilayo enezibilini ezinqambileyo kunye neenyawo zamehlo ezibonakalayo nakwiimboniso zeTV zomhlaba, thina e-US siya kulahlekelwa ithuba elibalulekileyo lokuguqula ihlabathi apho izigidi ezingabonakaliyo zimele zamathambo abo.
