Ukubongoza uMongameli uBarack H. Obama ukuba azise ubulungisa kubantu baseChagossian abagxothiweyo 

January 5, 2017

UMongameli uBarack H. Obama
INdlu yeNdlu
EWashington, DC, eU.SA

Mnu. Mongameli,

Ngeentsuku zokugqibela zobongameli bakho, sinibhalela njengabalingane abawongwa ngembasa yeNobel sinibongoza ukuba nilungise intswela-bulungisa eyimbali ethwaxwe ngabantu baseChagossian, abebehlala elubhacweni oluhlwempuzekileyo phantse iminyaka engamashumi amahlanu.

I-Chagosians yagxothwa kumakhaya abo kwisiqithi esilawulwa yiBritane e-Diego Garcia ukuze yenze indawo yomkhosi wase-US. Kangangamashumi eminyaka, amaChagossia acele ilungelo lokugoduka. NgoNovemba, abantu bakhathazeka xa i-UK yathi ayizukuvumela ukubuya nangona uphando oluxhaswa ngurhulumente wase-UK lubonisa ukuba ukuhlaliswa kwakhona kunokwenzeka. Nguwe kuphela ngoku unamandla okunceda amaChagossia ukuba abuyele kwilizwe lawo lookhokho kwaye, ngokuqhubekayo, aqinise ilifa lakho njengomkhuseli wamalungelo oluntu.

Kufuneka sigxininise ukuba amaChagossia anjalo hayi ikucela ukuba uvale okanye uguqule isiseko sase-US. Bacela kuphela ukuba bavunyelwe ukuba babuyele kwiziqithi zabo ukuze bahlale ngoxolo kunye nesiseko.

Ookhokho baseChagossia bafika kuqala kwi-Chagos Archipelago njengamakhoboka aseAfrika kunye namaIndiya avalelwe. Ukususela malunga nexesha le-American Revolution kude kube nokufuduka kwabo, izizukulwana zamaChagossia zazihlala eziqithini zihlakulela inkcubeko yebhongo.

Kwisivumelwano se-1966 se-US / UK, i-US yathembisa i-UK i-14 yezigidi zeedola zamalungelo asisiseko kunye nokususwa kwazo zonke i-Chagosians ezivela ku-Diego Garcia. Phakathi kowe-1968 no-1973, abameli baseBritani, bencediswa ngabasebenzi boMkhosi woMkhosi wase-US, bagxotha abantu baseChagossia kumgama oziikhilomitha ezili-1,200 ukuya kumatyotyombe kwiziqithi zaseMauritius naseSeychelles. Abantu baseChagossia abazange bafumane ncedo lokuhlaliswa ngokutsha.

Ukusukela ekugxothweni kwabo, amaChagossia ahlala kwintlupheko enzulu kwaye ezama ukubuyela kwilizwe lawo. Ngelishwa, abalawuli bangaphambili base-US kunye ne-UK bathintele nakuphi na ukuhlaliswa kwakhona kwaye bangakuhoyi ukubandezeleka kwabantu.

Kutshanje, inkxaso yokubuyisela iye yakhiwa kwihlabathi liphela. Abemi bahlala kufutshane neziseko zase-US kwihlabathi liphela, kwaye iingcali zomkhosi ziyavuma ukuba ukuhlaliswa kwakhona akuyi kubeka umngcipheko wokhuseleko ku-Diego Garcia. Ulwandiso lwakutsha nje lwesivumelwano sase-US/UK se-1966 sinika ithuba elifanelekileyo lokuhlonipha ilungelo lamaChagossia lokuhlala kwilizwe labo. Ngoko, siyakubuza:

(1) Ukuchaza esidlangalaleni ukuba i-US ayichasi amaChagossia abuyela kwiziqithi zawo;

(2) Ukuqaphela ilungelo elisisiseko lamaChagossia lokuhlala kwilizwe labo kunye namalungelo alinganayo okukhuphisana ngemisebenzi yoluntu kwisiseko;

(3) Ukubonelela ngoncedo olufanelekileyo lokuhlaliswa ngokutsha kwamaChagossia kunye noncedo ekufuneni umsebenzi kwisiseko;

(4) Ukuqinisekisa kunye nokubethelela la malungelo kwisivumelwano sase-US/UK; kwaye

(5) Ukuqala iingxoxo ezithe ngqo kunye nabameli be-Chagossian kule miba.

Unamandla okulungisa oku kungabikho kokusesikweni kwembali. Unamandla okubonisa ihlabathi ukuba i-US igcina amalungelo oluntu asisiseko. Nceda uncede uqinisekise ukuba ubulungisa benziwa kumaChagossia.
