Imibutho ye-8 - i-3 Rivers Healing, i-Action Corps, i-Black Lives Matter Boise, i-Boise DSA, iKomiti ye-Friends kwi-National Legislation ye-Idaho Advocacy Team, iimbacu Wamkelekile e-Idaho, iZiko loBumbano lokuKhula koMoya, kunye World BEYOND War - babiza i-Idaho Senators Risch kunye neCrapo kunye neCongressmembers uFulcher kunye noSimpson ukuba benze konke okusemandleni abo ukunceda ukudlula lo mthetho kwaye babambe ulawulo lwe-Biden luphendule kwisithembiso salo sokuphelisa ukuthatha inxaxheba kwe-US kwimisebenzi ekhubekisayo ye-Saudi ekhokelwa yi-Saudi eYemen.

I-United States iqhubekile nokubonelela ngeengxenye ezisecaleni, ukugcinwa, kunye nenkxaso yolungiselelo kwiinqwelomoya zemfazwe zaseSaudi, ngaphandle kogunyaziso oluqinisekisiweyo oluvela kwiCongress. Ulawulo lwe-Biden aluzange luchaze ukuba yintoni inkxaso "ekhubekisayo" kunye "nokuzikhusela", kwaye ivume ngaphezulu kwebhiliyoni yeedola ekuthengiseni izixhobo, kubandakanya iihelikopta ezintsha kunye nemijukujelwa yomoya ukuya emoyeni. Le nkxaso ithumela umyalezo wokungohlwaywa kumanyano olukhokelwa yiSaudi kwiminyaka eyi-7 yokubhobhoza kunye nokungqingwa kweYemen.

Kwinyanga ephelile, inkcaso evela kwi-White House icinezele i-Senate ukuba ihlehlise ukuvota kwiSigqibo se-Yemen yaMagunya eMfazwe, igxininisa ukuba i-Biden iya kuyivala ukuba ithe yadlula. Inkcaso yolawulo imele ukuguqulwa kwamagosa aphezulu olawulo lweBiden, uninzi lwawo olwalusixhasa ngaphambili isigqibo ngo-2019.

"Nawuphi na ummeli omnye okanye ummeli unamandla okunyanzela ingxoxo kunye nokuvota, ukuba adlulise oku okanye afumanise apho iCongress imi khona kwaye ivumele uluntu ukuba lubambe amagosa anyuliweyo aphendule. Sifuna umntu onokufumana isibindi sokwenza oko ngoku kule Nkongolo, kwaye akukho sizathu sokuba ingabi ngumntu wase-Idaho, utshilo uDavid Swanson. World BEYOND War's UMlawuli weSigqeba.

“Ama-Idahoans ngabantu bepragmatic abaxhasa izisombululo zengqiqo eqhelekileyo. Kwaye yiloo nto kanye lo mthetho uyiyo: iinzame zokulawula inkcitho, ukunciphisa imiqobo yamazwe angaphandle, kunye nokubuyisela uqwalaselo lomgaqo-siseko kunye nokulinganisa-ngalo lonke ixesha ulwela uxolo. Akukho sizathu sokuba igqiza lika-Idaho lingatsibeli ithuba lokuxhasa esi sigqibo,” wongeze watsho u-Eric Oliver, utitshala wase-Idaho kunye nelungu leKomiti yaBahlobo kwiQela leSizwe lokuXhasa leBoise leSizwe.

Imfazwe ekhokelwa yiSaudi eYemen iye yabulala phantse ikota yesigidi sabantu, ngokwe-Ofisi ye-UN yoLungelelaniso lweMicimbi yoLuntu. Ikwakhokelelwa koko umbutho we-UN uyibize ngokuba “yeyona ngxaki imbi yoluntu emhlabeni.” Abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezi-4 baye baxoshwa ngenxa yemfazwe, kwaye I-70% yabemi, kuquka i-11.3 yezigidi zabantwana, balufuna ngamandla uncedo loluntu. Olu ncedo lunye luye lwathintelwa ngumhlaba womanyano olukhokelwa yiSaudi, umoya, kunye nokuvalwa kwenqanawa yelizwe. Ukusukela ngo-2015, olu thintelo luthintele ukutya, amafutha, iimpahla zorhwebo, kunye noncedo lokungena eYemen.

Umbhalo opheleleyo weleta yokusayina ethunyelwe kwi-Congressional delegation yase-Idaho ingezantsi.

Othandekayo uSenator uCrapo, uSenator Risch, iCongressman Fulcher, kunye neCongressman Simpson,

Ngokunokwenzeka kokuphela kwemfazwe yeminyaka esixhenxe ezayo, sizama ukukucela ukuba uncedise SJRes.56/HJRes.87, iSigqibo saMandla eMfazwe sokuphelisa uncedo lomkhosi wase-US kwimfazwe ekhokelwa yiSaudi eYemen.

Ngo-2021, abalawuli beBiden babhengeza ukuphela kokuthatha inxaxheba kwe-US kumbutho okhokelwa yi-Saudi kwimisebenzi ehlaselayo eYemen. Ukanti iUnited States iqhubekile nokubonelela ngezinto ezisecaleni, ukugcinwa, kunye nenkxaso yolungiselelo kwiinqwelomoya zemfazwe zaseSaudi. Ulawulo aluzange lufumane ugunyaziso oluqinisekisiweyo oluvela kwiCongress, aluzange luchaze ukuba yintoni inkxaso "ekhubekisayo" kunye "nokuzikhusela", kwaye ivume ngaphezulu kwebhiliyoni yeedola ekuthengiseni izixhobo, kubandakanya iihelikopta ezintsha kunye nemijukujelwa yomoya ukuya emoyeni. Le nkxaso ithumela umyalezo wokungohlwaywa kumanyano olukhokelwa yiSaudi kwiminyaka eyi-7 yokubhobhoza kunye nokungqingwa kweYemen.

Inqaku I, iCandelo lesi-8 loMgaqo-siseko likwenza kucace, isebe lowiso-mthetho linegunya elilodwa lokubhengeza imfazwe. Ngelishwa, ukubandakanyeka komkhosi wase-US kunye nombutho okhokelwa yi-Saudi, equka i-attachés yomkhosi wase-US ejongene nokubonelelwa okuqhubekayo kweendawo ezisecaleni kunye nokugcinwa kwemisebenzi yeenqwelo zomoya zase-Saudi e-Yemen, ibetha ngokucacileyo eli gatya loMgaqo-siseko wase-US. Kananjalo ayilihoyi icandelo 8c loMthetho wamaGunya eMfazwe ka-1973, wona thintela Imikhosi exhobileyo yase-US ekubeni ikwazi "ukuyalela, ukulungelelanisa, ukuthatha inxaxheba ekuhambeni, okanye ukukhapha imikhosi yemikhosi eqhelekileyo okanye engaqhelekanga yalo naliphi na ilizwe langaphandle okanye urhulumente xa imikhosi yomkhosi ibandakanyeka, okanye kukho isoyikiso esisondeleyo sokuba loo mikhosi iya kuba. babandakanyeka, kwimfazwe” ngaphandle kwesigunyaziso esivela kwiCongress.

Inethiwekhi yethu yelizwe lonke ikhathazekile kukuba isivumelwano sexeshana kwilizwe lonke, esiphelelwe nge-2 ka-Okthobha, asizange sihlaziywe. Ngelixa uthethathethwano lokwandisa isivumelwano sisenokwenzeka, ukungabikho kwesivumelwano kwenza ukuba i-US ithathele ingqalelo uxolo nangakumbi. Ngelishwa, naphantsi kwesivumelwano, esaqala ngo-Epreli ka-2022, kukho ukwaphulwa kwesivumelwano ngamaqela alwayo. Ngoku, kukhuseleko olulinganiselweyo olunikiweyo, intlekele yoluntu ihleli ikwimeko yonxunguphalo. Kuphela malunga ne-50% yeemfuno zamafutha e-Yemen ziye zahlangatyezwa (ukusukela ngo-Okthobha ka-2022), kwaye ukulibaziseka okubalulekileyo ekuthunyelweni okungena kwizibuko laseHodeida kusaqhubeka ngenxa yezithintelo zaseSaudi. Oku kulibaziseka kunyusa amaxabiso ezinto ezibalulekileyo, kuqhubekisela phambili ingxaki yoluntu, kwaye kuphelisa ukuthembana okufunekayo ukukhusela isivumelwano soxolo esiphelisa imfazwe ekugqibeleni.

Ukomeleza esi sivumelwano sibuthathaka kunye nokukhuthaza ngakumbi iSaudi Arabia ukuba ixhase isisombululo sothethathethwano sokuphelisa imfazwe kunye nokuvalwa, iCongress kufuneka isebenzise eyona nxalenye yayo iphambili eYemen ngokuthintela ukuqhubeka kwayo nayiphi na inxaxheba emkhosini wase-US kwimfazwe yaseYemen kunye nokwenza kucace AbakwaSaudis ukuba abanako ukurhoxa kulo mba wokuphelisa imfazwe njengoko benzile ngaphambili, bebakhuthaza ukuba bafike kwindawo enoxolo.

Siyakubongoza ukuba uncede ukuqhubela phambili le mfazwe ngokuxhasa i-SJRes.56/HJRes.87, iSigqibo saMagunya eMfazwe, ukuphelisa ngokupheleleyo yonke inkxaso yase-US kungquzulwano oluye lwabangela ukuphalala kwegazi okungaka kunye nokubandezeleka kwabantu.
