ukusuka Imfazwe Kubugebengu
NgoJanuwari 23rd isikhephe esinabantu abaninzi esithutha abantu ngokungekho semthethweni satyhutyha unxweme lwe-Aden kuMazantsi e-Yemen. Abathengisi ngokungekho mthethweni bapakisha abakhweli abali-152 abasuka eSomalia nase-Ethiopia ngesikhephe kwaye, xa babeselwandle, kuthiwa batsale imipu kubafuduki befuna imali eyongezelelweyo kubo. Isikhephe iqhekeziwe, ngokwe Guardian, emva kolo dubulo lwakhwankqisa. Inani labantu abaswelekileyo, okwangoku ngama-30, kulindeleke ukuba lenyuke. Uninzi lwabantwana lwalukhwele.
Abagibeli babesele besemngciphekweni wohambo olubi ukusuka elunxwemeni lwaseAfrika ukuya e-Yemen, indlela eyingozi eshiya abantu besesichengeni kwizithembiso ezingeyonyani, abathumbi babaphangi, ukuvalelwa ngokungekho semthethweni kunye nokunyhashwa kwamalungelo abantu. Ukuphelelwa lithemba okukhulu kwezidingo ezisisiseko kuye kwaqhuba amakhulu amawaka abantu abafudukayo baseAfrika baya e-Yemen. Amathemba amaninzi, xa efika, anokuhamba aye kumazwe achumileyo aseGulf ukuya emantla apho anokufumana khona umsebenzi kunye nenqanaba elithile lokhuseleko. Kodwa ukuphelelwa lithemba kunye nokulwa kumazantsi eYemen kwakoyikeka ngokwaneleyo ukukholisa uninzi lwabaphambukeli abakhwela kwisikhephe sokuthutyelezisela nge-23 kaJanuwari ukuzama ukubuyela e-Afrika.
Ebhekisa kwabo batshonayo xa inqanawe yaphuka, iAmnesty International Lynn Maalouf uthe: "Le ntlekele yaphula intliziyo igxininisa, kodwa kwakhona, indlela impixano yase-Yemen eqhubeka ngayo kubantu. Ngexesha lokuqhubeka kobutshaba kunye nokuthintela izithintelo ezibekwe ngumdibaniso okhokelwa yi-Saudi Arabia, abantu abaninzi abeza e-Yemen bebaleka ungquzulwano nengcinezelo kwenye indawo ngoku banyanzelwa kwakhona ukuba babaleke bekhangela ukhuseleko. Abanye bafa ngoku. ”
Kwi-2017, ngaphezulu kwe Abaphambukeli abangama-55,000 baseAfrika bafika e-Yemen, uninzi lwabo ingolutsha oluvela eSomalia nase-Ethiopia apho kukho imisebenzi embalwa kwaye imbalela enkulu inyanzela abantu ukuba babesendlaleni. Kunzima ukucwangcisa okanye ukuhlawulela uhambo olungaphaya kweYemen. Abafuduki babanjiswa kwelona lizwe lihlwempuzekileyo kwi-peninsula yase-Arab, ngoku, kunye namazwe aliqela aseMntla Afrika athwaxwa yimbalela, ajongene nentlekele enkulu yoluntu ukusukela ngeMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi. E-Yemen, abantu abazizigidi ezisibhozo basemngciphekweni wendlala njengoko iimeko ezibangelwa yimbambano kufutshane nendlala zishiya izigidi zingenakutya namanzi okusela akhuselekileyo. Ngaphezulu kwesigidi esinye sabantu abaphethwe yikholera kunyaka ophelileyo kwaye iingxelo zamva nje zongeza uqhushumbo lwe-diphtheria koloyiko. Imfazwe yamakhaya iye yandisa kwaye yandisa ixesha lokubandezeleka ngelixa, ukusukela ngo-Matshi ka-2015, umanyano olukhokelwa yi-Saudi, lujoyine kwaye luxhaswe yi-US, luhlala luqhushumbisa abahlali kunye neziseko zophuhliso e-Yemen ngelixa begcina ibhlokhi ethintela ukuthuthwa kokutya okufuneka kakhulu, ipetroli namayeza.
UMaalouf ucele uluntu lwamanye amazwe ukuba "lumise ukuthunyelwa kwezixhobo ezinokusetyenziswa kwimbambano." Ukuthobela ikhwelo likaMaalouf, uluntu lwamazwe aphesheya kufuneka ekugqibeleni luthintele ukunyoluka kweekhontrakthi zomkhosi zamazwe aphesheya ezithi zenze inzuzo ngokuthengisa amawaka ezigidi zeedola e-Saudi Arabia, e-United Arab Emirates (e-UAE), eBahrain nakwamanye amazwe kumdibaniso okhokelwa yi-Saudi Arabia. Umzekelo, ngo-Novemba, 2017 ingxelo yeReuters yatsho njalo ISaudi Arabia uvumile ukuthenga malunga ne-7 yezigidigidi zeedola ezichanekileyo ezikhokelwa ziikhontrakthi zokhuselo zase-US. I-UAE ikwathengile iibhiliyoni kwimikhosi yaseMelika.
URaytheon kunye neBoeing ziinkampani eziza kuthi zixhamle ikakhulu kwisivumelwano esasiyinxalenye yesivumelwano sezixhobo ezixabisa i-110 yeebhiliyoni ezihambelana notyelelo lukaMongameli uDonald Trump eSaudi Arabia ngoMeyi.
Olunye unqamlezo olunobungozi lwenzekile kule ngingqi kwiveki ephelileyo. USomlomo weNdlu uPaul Ryan (R-WI) wafika eSaudi Arabia, kunye nabathunywa benkongolo, ukuba badibane noKumkani uSalman kwaye emva koko kunye neNkosana yase-Saudi Crown u-Mohammed bin Salman oye walungiselela imfazwe yomdibaniso okhokelwa yi-Saudi Arabia e-Yemen . Emva kolo tyelelo, uRyan kunye neqela lakhe badibana neeroyals ezivela e-UAE.
"Qiniseka ke", utshilo Ryan, Sithetha kwindibano yoonozakuzaku abancinci e-UAE, "asizukuma de i-ISIS, i-al-Qaeda, kunye nabo babandakanyekayo boyisiwe kwaye bangabi sisisongelo e-United States nakwimanyano zethu.
"Okwesibini, kwaye okona kubaluleke kakhulu, sigxile kwisoyikiso seIran kuzinzo lwengingqi."
Ngaphandle kwento elula ebhalwe kakuhle yenkxaso yemali yaseSaudi yobunqolobi bamaSilamsi, intetho kaRyan ayihoyi imikhosi yomdibaniso ekhokelwa nguSaudi kunye "nemisebenzi ekhethekileyo" e-Yemen, exhaswa yi-US kwaye iyayijoyina. Imfazwe apho iphikisana nomzamo wokulwa namaqela e-jihadist, athe aphumelela kwisiphithiphithi semfazwe, ngakumbi emazantsi aphantsi kolawulo lukarhulumente odibene ne-Saudi Arabia.
Urhulumente waseIran u-Ryan wagxeka ukuba unamadlelane e-Yemen kwaye usenokungenisa izixhobo e-Iran, kodwa akukho mntu ubatyholileyo ngokuhambisa abavukeli base-Houthi ngeebhombu ezisebenzisanayo, imijukujelwa ekhokelwa yi-laser kunye ne-littoral (kufutshane nonxweme) Iinqanawa zokulwa ukuvimba amazibuko abalulekileyo ekunciphiseni indlala. I-Iran ayiboneleli nge-air refueling yeenqwelomoya ezisetyenziswa kwibhombu yemihla ngemihla ebaleka i-Yemen. I-US ithengise zonke ezi zinto kumazwe akumbutho okhokelwa yi-Saudi Arabia, athe wona, asebenzise ezi zixhobo ukutshabalalisa iziseko zophuhliso ze-Yemen kunye nokudala isiphithiphithi kunye nokunyusa ukubandezeleka phakathi kwabantu base Yemen.
URyan washiya nakuphi na ukukhankanywa yindlala, izifo, kunye nokufuduka okucinezela abantu e-Yemen. Uye wakutyeshela ukukhankanya ukuxhatshazwa kwamalungelo oluntu okubhaliweyo kwinethiwekhi yeentolongo ezifihlakeleyo ezenziwa yi-UAE kumazantsi e-Yemen. URyan kunye nabathunywa ngokwenyani benze i-smokescreen yenkxalabo ngobomi bomntu efihla eyona nto yoyikisayo apho imigaqo-nkqubo yase-US ibabeke khona abantu base-Yemen nakwingingqi ejikelezileyo.
Indlala enokubakho yabantwana babo yoyikisa abantu abangakwaziyo ukufumana ukutya kweentsapho zabo. Abo bangenakufumana amanzi okusela acocekileyo bajongana nethemba lobusuku lokuphelelwa ngamanzi emzimbeni okanye izifo. Abantu ababaleka iziqhushumbisi, abo babamba iziqhushumbisi, kunye nemikhosi exhobileyo enokuthi ibabambe ngokungxama ibangcangcazela kukoyika njengoko bezama iindlela zokubaleka.
UPaul Ryan, kunye neqela labathunywa ababehamba naye, babenethuba elingaqhelekanga lokuxhasa izibheno ezenziwa ngamagosa e-UN kunye nabaququzeleli bamalungelo oluntu.
Endaweni yoko, uRyan uqonde ukuba ekuphela kwenkxalabo yezokhuseleko ekufuneka ichazwe yilezo zisongela abantu e-US Wathembisa ukusebenzisana noozwilakhe abanengcinezelo abaziwayo ngokunyhashwa kwamalungelo oluntu kumazwe abo, nakwi-Yemen ebuthathaka. Utyhole urhulumente wase-Iran ngokugxuphuleka kwimicimbi yamanye amazwe kunye nokubonelela ngamajoni ngemali nezixhobo. Umgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle wase-US uphungulwe ngobuyatha waba "bafo abalungileyo," i-US kunye namahlakani ayo, ngokuchasene "nomntu ongalunganga," -Iran.
"Abafo abalungileyo" abenza kwaye bathengise umgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle wase-US kunye nezixhobo zokuthengisa zibonisa ukungakhathali okungenantliziyo kwabo bathengisa ngokungcakaza ubomi babantu kwiindawo ezinobungozi kakhulu.
