ukusuka Iphulo lokulwa ukuthengisa izixhobo.
- Itshantliziyo lizama ukubeka iSaudi General Al-Asserie phantsi kokubanjwa kwabemi ngaphambi kwentetho kwitanki yokucinga yaseLondon
- Imikhosi yaseSaudi iye yatyholwa ngokubanzi ngokwenza ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe eYemen
- I-UK ineengalo ezixabisa i-3.3 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi ukuya eSaudi Arabia ukusukela oko kwaqala uqhushumbo ngoMatshi ka-2015.
Itshantliziyo leQuaker uSam Walton uzame ukubeka iSaudi General Al-Asserie phantsi kwabemi ababanjelwe ubugebenga bemfazwe eYemen. U-Asserie wayesendleleni eya kuthetha neBhunga laseYurophu kuBudlelwane baNgaphandle, apho wadibana noqhanqalazo. USam uye wanyanzelwa ukuba ahambe ngoonogada baka-Asserie. Iividiyo zempikiswano ziyafumaneka Apha kwaye Apha.
I-General Asserie isithethi se-Saudi Coalition e-Yemen kunye nomcebisi ophezulu kuMphathiswa wezoKhuselo wase-Saudi Arabia. I-Asserie ibingubuso boluntu kuqhushumbo olukhohlakeleyo. NgoNovemba ka-2016 u-Asserie uxelele i-ITV ukuba imikhosi yaseSaudi ibingasebenzisi iibhombu zeqela eYemen, kuphela imikhosi yaseSaudi eyathi kamva yavuma ukuba banayo.
NgoLwesibini, u-Asserie udibene namaLungu ePalamente ukubaxelela phambi kwengxoxo malunga nemeko yobuntu eYemen.
Sele ingaphaya kweminyaka emibini ukusukela oko kwaqala uqhushumbo olukhokelwa yiSaudi eYemen. Ukususela ngoko, abantu abayi-10,000 babulewe kwaye izigidi ziye zashiywa zingenakho ukufikelela kwiziseko ezibalulekileyo, amanzi acocekileyo okanye umbane. Kuqikelelwa ukuba abantu abazizigidi ezili-17 abakhuselekanga kukutya kwaye bafuna uncedo olukhawulezileyo loluntu.
Ukusukela oko kwaqala ukuqhushumba kwe-Yemen ngo-Matshi 2015, i-UK inelayisenisi ye-£ 3.3 yeebhiliyoni zezixhobo kulawulo lwaseSaudi, kubandakanya:
- I-£ 2.2 yeebhiliyoni zeelayisenisi ze-ML10 (Ienqwelo-moya, i-helicopter, i-drones)
- I-£ 1.1 yeebhiliyoni zeelayisenisi zeML4 (iibhombu, iibhombu, imijukujelwa, amanyathelo okuthintela)
- I-£430,000 yeelayisenisi zeML6 ezixabisa i-£XNUMX (Iimoto ezixhobileyo, amatanki)
USam Walton, owayezama ukubanjwa, uthe:
I-Asserie imele ulawulo olubulale amawaka e-Yemen kwaye yabonisa ukudelela ngokupheleleyo umthetho wamazwe ngamazwe. Ndazama ukumbamba ngenxa yezenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho zemfazwe awayeyongamela waza wasasaza ngazo, kodwa wayengqongwe ngoonogada ababendigxotha. U-Asserie akufuneki amkelwe kwaye aphathwe njengomntu ohloniphekileyo, kufuneka abanjwe kwaye aphandwe ngolwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe.
UAndrew Smith wePhulo elichasene noRhwebo lwezixhobo uthe:
I-General Asserie ngumlomo wephulo elitshabalalisayo lebhombu elibulale amawaka abantu kwaye latshabalalisa iziseko ezibalulekileyo. Akufanelanga ukuba amenywe ukuba athethe namaPalamente kunye neengcinga zokugquma ubungendawo obuqhubekayo. Amazwi ekufuneka eviwe ngalawabantu baseYemeni abangamaxhoba entlekele yoluntu-hayi abo babangelayo. Ukuba i-UK iza kudlala indima efanelekileyo ekuziseni uxolo ngoko kufuneka iphele ukuhambelana kwayo kunye nokuphelisa ukuthengiswa kweengalo.
U-Sayed Ahmed Alwadaei, uMlawuli we-Advocacy, i-Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy, wayekho kuqhanqalazo. Uthe:
Ulawulo lwaseSaudi lunerekhodi eyoyikisayo yamalungelo oluntu ngaphakathi nakwamanye amazwe. Ingcungcuthekisa abantu baseSaudi kwaye ixhase ukuqhekeka kuwo wonke uMbindi Mpuma, kubandakanya neBahrain apho imikhosi yaseSaudi incede ukucinezela intshukumo enoxolo yedemokhrasi. I-Asserie ibiyeyona nto iphambili kulawulo kunye nasekuhlambeni ulwaphulo-mthetho olubi.
Ukuba semthethweni kokuthengiswa kwezixhobo e-UK ngoku kungumxholo woPhononongo lweNkundla, kulandela isicelo sePhulo elichasene noRhwebo lwezixhobo. Ibango licela urhulumente ukuba anqumamise zonke iilayisensi ezikhoyo kwaye ayeke ukukhupha ezinye iilayisenisi zokuthumela izixhobo kwiSaudi Arabia ukuba zisetyenziswe eYemen ngelixa ibambe uphononongo olupheleleyo ukuba ukuthunyelwa ngaphandle kuyahambelana nomthetho wase-UK kunye ne-EU. Isigwebo sisamisiwe.
