Olu qhanqalazo lwangoMatshi lwe-25-27 lwabanjwa kulo lonke elaseCanada ukuphawula iminyaka eyi-8 yongenelelo olukhokelwa yiSaudi kwimfazwe yaseYemen. Kwizixeko ezithandathu kwilizwe lonke, iindibano, imingcelele, kunye nezenzo zomanyano zabanjwa ngokuchasene neCanada yokwenza inzuzo emfazweni ngokusebenzisa izixhobo zabo kunye neSaudi Arabia exabisa iibhiliyoni zeedola. Le mali ikwancede ekuthengeni ukuthula koluntu lwezopolitiko lwezizwe ngezizwe olujikeleze imfazwe oko kuyingozi ecacileyo kubantu ababanjwe kungquzulwano njengoko imfazwe yaseYemen idale enye yezona ngxaki zinkulu emhlabeni. I-UN iqikelela i-21.6 yezigidi zabantu e-Yemen baya kufuna uncedo loluntu kunye nokukhuselwa kwi-2023, malunga nekota yesithathu yabemi.
Ingxabano yaqala ngenxa yenguqu yamandla eyenzeka ngexesha le-Arab Spring kwi-2011 phakathi koMongameli waseYemen, u-Ali Abdullah Saleh, kunye nesekela lakhe, u-Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi. Okulandelayo yaba yimfazwe yamakhaya phakathi kukarhulumente kunye neqela elaziwa ngokuba yiHouthis elathatha ithuba lobuthathaka bukarhulumente omtsha kwaye lathatha ulawulo lwephondo laseSaada, lithatha ikomkhulu lesizwe i-Sanaa. UHadi wanyanzelwa ukuba abaleke ngoMatshi ka-2015, ngelo xesha ilizwe elingummelwane iSaudi Arabia kunye nemanyano yamanye amazwe angama-Arabhu anje nge-United Arab Emirates (UAE), yaqalisa uhlaselo eYemen, iqhuba amajoni eHouthi ephuma emazantsi Yemen nangona engazange aphume. emantla elizwe okanye Sanaa. Ukusukela ngoko imfazwe iqhubekile, kunye namashumi amawaka abantu ababuleweyo, abaninzi benzakele kwaye i-80% yabemi idinga uncedo loluntu.
Nangona ubunzima bemeko kunye nemeko eyaziwayo phakathi koluntu lwamazwe ngamazwe, iinkokeli zehlabathi ziyaqhubeka nokuthumela izixhobo kwi-Saudi Arabia, umdlali oyintloko kwingxabano, encedisa ukulwa nemfazwe. ICanada iphakathi kwaloo mazwe, athumele ngaphezu kwe-8 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi kwiingalo eSaudi Arabia ukususela ngo-2015. Iingxelo ze-UN ziye zalatha kabini eCanada phakathi kwamazwe aqhuba imfazwe, ubungqina bokuba umfanekiso weCanada njengomgcini woxolo uye waba yinkumbulo ephelayo ngaphezu inyaniso. Umfanekiso owonakaliswe ngakumbi yindawo yaseCanada yangoku njengendawo ye-16 ephezulu yokuthunyelwa kwezixhobo kumazwe angaphandle kwihlabathi ngokwengxelo yamva nje yeStockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). Olu dluliselo lwezixhobo kufuneka luyeke ukuba iCanada iza kuthabatha inxaxheba ekunqandeni imfazwe, kunye nearhente esebenzayo yoxolo.
Oku kwenziwa kukhwankqise ngakumbi xa kujongwa ukunqongophala kokukhankanywa kwenkxaso-mali enikezelwe kuncedo loluntu lwamazwe ngamazwe kuhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwakutsha nje luka-2023 olukhutshwe ngurhulumente weTrudeau. Nangona inye into exhaswa kakhulu yibhajethi ka-2023 emkhosini, ebonisa ukuzibophelela kukarhulumente ekuqhubeni imfazwe endaweni yoxolo.
Ngokungabikho komgaqo-nkqubo onoxolo wangaphandle kuMbindi Mpuma ngamanye amazwe anjengeKhanada, iTshayina iye yangenelela njengomenzi woxolo. Baye baqalisa iingxoxo zokuyeka umlilo ezenza ukuba kubekho imvume evela eSaudi Arabia ebandakanya iimfuno ezininzi zeHouthi. Kubandakanya ukuvula idolophu enkulu yaseSana'a kwiinqwelomoya kunye nezibuko elikhulu eliya kuvumela uncedo olubalulekileyo ukuba lufike elizweni. Kwakhona kuxoxwe kukufikelela kwimali karhulumente yokubavumela ukuba bahlawule abasebenzi babo, ngaphezu kokuzinzisa uqoqosho. Olu luhlobo lomsebenzi ekufanele ukuba iCanada iwenza, ukwenza uxolo ngencoko hayi ngokuthumela izixhobo ezininzi.
