I-United States kunye ne-United Kingdom bajongene nokugxekwa kwilizwe liphela ngokuhambisa izixhobo zabo zenyukliya, betyeshela intshukumo ekhulayo yehlabathi ukuxhasa izixhobo zenyukliya. I-United States iceba ukuchitha i-100 yezigidigidi zeedola- ukwenza umjukujelwa omtsha wenyukliya onokuhamba iikhilomitha ezingama-6,000 ethwele umlo ophindwe ngamashumi amabini anamandla kunalowo wehla eHiroshima. Iindleko zokwakha nokugcina isiCwangciso-qhinga esiseSikweni, okanye I-GBSD, njengoko kusaziwa njalo, kungadumba ukuya kwi-264 yezigidigidi zeedola kumashumi eminyaka ezayo, ngemali eninzi iye kwiikontraki zomkhosi, kubandakanya iNorthrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin kunye neGeneral Dynamics.

Ngeli xesha, Inkulumbuso yase-Bhritane u-Boris Johnson usandula ukubhengeza izicwangciso zokuphakamisa ikepusi kwisitokhwe sayo senyukliya, esonyusa inani leemfazwe zenyukliya ze-Trident ngaphezulu kwe-40%. Eli nyathelo liphela kumashumi amathathu eminyaka yokupheliswa kwezixhobo zenyukliya e-UK

NgoLwesithathu, isithethi sikanobhala-jikelele we-UN sigxeke isigqibo sikaJohnson, esiza kwaphula iSivumelwano sokuNqatshelwa kweziXhobo zeNyukliya, okanye I-NPT.

UTSHANTSHO UQHAGAMSHELWANO: Kodwa siyayibonisa inkxalabo yethu kwisigqibo se-UK sokwandisa izixhobo zenyukliya, nto leyo echasene nezibophelelo zayo phantsi kweCandelo VI I-NPT kwaye inokuba nefuthe elonakalisayo kuzinzo lwehlabathi kunye neenzame zokulandela ilizwe elingenazixhobo zenyukliya. Ngexesha apho umngcipheko wezixhobo zenyukliya uphezulu kunokuba bekunjalo ukusukela ngeMfazwe Yomlomo, utyalomali kwizixhobo nolawulo lweengalo yeyona ndlela yokuqinisa uzinzo kunye nokunciphisa ingozi yenyukliya.

NGABA INDAODA ELUNGILE: Olu phuhliso luza kwithuba elingaphantsi kweenyanga ezimbini emva kokuba kuqaliswe ukusebenza kweSivumelwano se-UN esingunqantsa kwezixhobo zenyukliya. Isivumelwano siqinisekisiwe ngaphezulu kwamazwe angama-50, kodwa oko akubandakanyi nawaphi na amagunya enyukliya asithoba: iBritane, iChina, iFrance, i-Indiya, i-Israel, iNorth Korea, iPakistan, iRussia ne-United States.

Sijoyine ngoku ngu-Alicia Sanders-Zakre, umququzeleli womgaqo-nkqubo kunye nophando kwi-International Campaign yokupheliswa kwezixhobo zenyukliya. Iqela laphumelela uMvuzo weNobel ngo-2017.

Enkosi kakhulu ngokuzibandakanya nathi sisuka eGeneva, Switzerland. Ngaba ungathetha kuqala malunga ne-UK yokuphakamisa ikepusi kuphuhliso lwezixhobo zenyukliya ezingakumbi, emva koko i-United States iphuhlise esi sixhobo sikhulu, sekota-ye-trillion-yeedola zenyukliya?

I-ALICIA ISANDI-UZAKRE: Ngokuqinisekileyo. Ndiyabulela kakhulu ngokuba nam apha namhlanje kunye nokunika ingqalelo kwezi zinto zibaluleke ngokwenene, ngokubhekisele kuphuhliso e-United States nase-United Kingdom. Ndicinga ukuba kubaluleke kakhulu ukudibanisa la mabali mabini, kuba siyayibona le mpendulo imanyeneyo, efanayo neyomkhosi oxhobileyo kwinto ebizwayo lihlabathi liphela, kukupheliswa ngokupheleleyo kwezixhobo zenyukliya.

E-United Kingdom, bekukho le ntshukumo ingenankathalo yakutshanje, echasene nedemokhrasi yokunyusa ikepusi yemikhosi yenyukliya, nayo, njengoko kukhankanyiwe kwintshayelelo, kukwaphula umthetho wamazwe aphesheya. Ayamkelekanga kwaphela le nto. Kugxekwe ngokufanelekileyo, ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe. Kwaye yintshukumo ebhabha ngenene ebusweni bayo yonke into ebizwayo lihlabathi kwaye imelwe yintoni iSivumelwano soThintelo lwezixhobo zeNyukliya.

Kwaye ngokufanayo, e-United States, unentshukumo yolawulo lwase-United States yokuqhubeka nokwakha kwakhona izixhobo zayo zenyukliya. Kwaye enye yecandelo layo yile $ 100 yezigidigidi zomjukujelwa, njengoko utshilo, umjukujelwa omtsha we-United States, omiselwe ukuhlala e-United States kude kube ngu-2075. Ke oku kukuzibophelela kwexesha elide ngokuchasene nabantu I-United States kunye ne-United Kingdom bafuna, oko kukupheliswa kwezixhobo zenyukliya kunye nokujoyina iSivumelwano soThintelo lwezixhobo zenyukliya.

I-NEMEEN I-SHAIKH: Kwaye, Alicia, ungathetha kancinci malunga nolu xwebhu iNkulumbuso uJohnson ityhalele phambili? Njengoko utshilo, ichasene nentando yesininzi. Idibene nokugwetywa ngokubanzi, hayi kwihlabathi liphela, kodwa nase-Bhritane. Okokuqala, ngaba le nto ayinakuphikiswa, i-40% inyuke kwinani leemfazwe zemfazwe zenyukliya ezibekwe luxwebhu? Kananjalo, inantoni yokwenza neBrexit? Le yinxalenye yesicwangciso solawulo sikaJohnson sekamva le-Brexit kunye nendima ye-Bhritane kwihlabathi liphela?

I-ALICIA ISANDI-UZAKRE: Ndicinga ukuba kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba uxinzelelo alunakulungiseka. Esi sigqibo siphume kwinto ebizwa ngokuba luHlanganiso oluHlanganisiweyo, uphononongo lomgaqo-nkqubo wezokhuseleko kunye nomgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle, owawufanele ukuba ube lixesha elizayo, ujonge phambili, umgaqo-nkqubo omtsha, emva kweMfazwe ebandayo. Ewe, eyona nto siyibonayo kumaxwebhu, xa kuziwa kwizixhobo zenyukliya, kuyinyani ukubuyela kwimfazwe ebandayo eyingozi, ngokubhekisele ekwandiseni ukuzibophelela okukhankanyiweyo ngaphambili, isiciko sangaphambili semfazwe yenyukliya. Kuphononongo oludlulileyo, i-United Kingdom yayithembisile, ithembisile esidlangalaleni, ukunciphisa i-cap yayo yenyukliya ukuya kwi-180 yeentloko phakathi kwe-2020s, kwiminyaka nje embalwa. Kwaye ngoku, ngaphandle kokunika izizathu ezizizo, ngaphandle kotshintsho kwimeko-bume, i-United Kingdom ikhethe ukuyinyusa loo cap.

Ke ndicinga ukuba icacile ukuba sisigqibo sezopolitiko. Inokudityaniswa kakuhle kwi-ajenda yezopolitiko yolawulo lukaJohnson, uyazi, ndiyacinga, ngeendlela ezininzi ezinxibelelene ne-ajenda yolawulo lwangaphambili lweTrump kwizixhobo zenyukliya, ezaziza kuthathelwa ingqalelo ekuphuhliseni iintlobo ezintsha zezixhobo zenyukliya, ukungawuthobeli ngokupheleleyo umthetho wamazwe aphesheya uluvo lwamanye amazwe ngezixhobo zenyukliya. Kodwa kubalulekile ukukhumbula, ewe, le yimveliso yokuphononongwa, kodwa, ngokuqinisekileyo, ndiyacinga, ngoxinzelelo loluntu, kokubini ngaphakathi nakwamanye amazwe, i-UK inakho, kwaye kufanelekile, ukuguqula esi sigqibo kwaye endaweni yoko ithathe amanyathelo okujoyina iSivumelwano. ukuthintelwa kwezixhobo zenyukliya.

NGABA INDAODA ELUNGILE: I-Iran ityhole iNkulumbuso yase-Bhritane u-Boris Johnson "ngokuhanahanisa" ngokubhengeza isigqibo sokwandisa izixhobo zenyukliya kwangolo suku lunye u-Johnson wavakalisa inkxalabo malunga nenkqubo yenyukliya yase-Iran. Umphathiswa wezangaphandle eIran, uJavad Zarif, uthe, "ngokungafaniyo ne-UK kunye ne-allies, i-Iran ikholelwa ekubeni ii-nukes kunye nazo zonke ii-WMDs zikhohlakele kwaye kufuneka zipheliswe." Impendulo yakho, Alicia?

I-ALICIA ISANDI-UZAKRE: Ndicinga ukuba ibe yingxaki engaguquguqukiyo kwintetho yamanye amazwe kwizixhobo zenyukliya ukwahlula ngokwenyani indlela esithetha ngayo ngamanye amazwe axhobileyo ngenyukliya. Kwaye i-UK kunye ne-United States bakuxhasile oku. Ngokwenene bazithatha njengamandla asemthethweni, noxanduva lwamandla enyukliya, ngokuchasene namanye amazwe axhobileyo enyukliya, njenge-Iran - uxolo, hayi i-Iran-North Korea.

Kwaye ndicinga ukuba oku ngenene- ngokucacileyo, le ntshukumo ibonisa ukuba leyo yingxelo engeyonyani. Onke amazwe anezixhobo zenyukliya, uyazi, ayinyani-anamandla otshabalalisayo, angamkelekanga okuba neziphumo ezibalaseleyo zoluntu kwihlabathi. Kwaye naliphi na ilizwe elinezixhobo zenyukliya kufuneka ligwetywe ngokuzibandakanya nokuziphatha okuye kwachasana nezivumelwano zamazwe aphesheya, kutsha nje yiSivumelwano soThintelo lwezixhobo zenyukliya. Ke, nokuba leliphi na ilizwe, ukuphuhlisa, ukuvelisa, ukugcina isitokhwe sabo kukuziphatha kakubi kwaye akukho semthethweni.

NGABA INDAODA ELUNGILE: UAlicia Sanders-Zakre, sifuna ukubulela kakhulu ngokuhlala nathi, umququzeleli womgaqo-nkqubo kunye nophando kwi-International Campaign yokuPhelisa izixhobo zeNyukliya, NDINGA, owaphumelela iNobel Peace Prize kwiminyaka embalwa eyadlulayo.
