Nantsi i vidiyo kaJohn Oliver egxeka iFIFA ngokubeka iNdebe yeHlabathi eQatar, indawo esebenzisa ubukhoboka kunye nokuxhatshazwa kwabasetyhini kunye nokuxhaphaza abantu be-LGBT. Yividiyo emalunga nendlela wonke umntu azifihla ngayo iinyaniso ezimbi. U-Oliver urhuqa eRashiya njengomamkeli weNdebe yeHlabathi edlulileyo oxhaphaza abaqhankqalazi, kunye ne-Saudi Arabia njengomkhosi onokwenzeka kwixesha elizayo elikude owenza zonke iintlobo zenkohlakalo. Inkxalabo yam ayikokuba i-US, njengomnye wabamkeli abacwangcisiweyo iminyaka emine kungoko, ifumana impumelelo kwindlela yokuziphatha ngokubanzi. Inkxalabo yam kukuba i-US iye yadlula kude iFIFA kulo nyaka, kwaye minyaka le, eQatar. I-US ibeke izinto ezintandathu kulawulo lobuzwilakhe oluncinci lwe-oyile, ngalinye libi kakhulu kuneNdebe yeHlabathi.
Into yokuqala sisiseko somkhosi wase-US esifaka imikhosi kunye nezixhobo kunye nokuthengiswa kwezixhobo zase-US eQatar, kunye ne-oyile e-United States, ngelixa inceda ukuxhasa uzwilakhe ombi kunye nokubandakanya iQatar kwiimfazwe zase-US. Ezinye izinto ezintlanu nazo Iziseko zomkhosi wase-US - iziseko ezisetyenziswa ngumkhosi wase-US - eQatar. I-US igcina inani layo elincinci lemikhosi eQatar, kodwa kunye neengalo, kunye noololiwe, kunye imali ngeedola zerhafu zase-US, umkhosi waseQatari, owathi kuthengwa phantse iwaka lezigidi zeerandi zezixhobo zase-US kulo nyaka uphelileyo. Kwenzeka njani ukuba abaphandi bakaJohn Oliver bafumanise oku? Nkqu neziseko zase-US kunye nemikhosi e-Saudi Arabia, kunye nokuthengiswa kwezixhobo ezinkulu zase-US kobu zwilakhe bukhohlakeleyo, kuyabonakala ukuba azibonakali. Ubukho obukhulu bomkhosi wase-US kwi-Bahrain ekufutshane abunakwa. Ngokunjalo abo base-UAE naseOman. Kuyafana kuzo zonke iziseko zase-US kunye nemikhosi eKuwait, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Israel, njalo njalo.
Kodwa khawufane ucinge ividiyo enokwenziwa ukuba isihloko sivumelekile. Isidingo sokukwazi ukuqalisa ngokukhawuleza iimfazwe kwihlabathi liphela azisachazi iziseko kwimbono yomkhosi wase-US ngokwawo. Kwaye okwangoku iziseko ziyaqhubeka, ziphakamisa oozwilakhe abanobubele abajongwa ngurhulumente wase-US njengonqwenelekayo ukusebenzisana nabo, kanye njengoko iFIFA icatshulwe njengokujonga iQatar kwividiyo kaJohn Oliver.
Amaziko osasazo ase-US asebenza phakathi koluhlu olumiselweyo, ukusuka kwi- Wall Street Journal kwesinye isiphelo phezu izinto ezifana John Oliver iividiyo kwelinye. Ukugxekwa komkhosi wase-US okanye iimfazwe zawo okanye iziseko zawo zangaphandle okanye inkxaso yawo kulawulo lobuzwilakhe olukhohlakeleyo ingaphandle kolo luhlu.
Kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo, ndabhala incwadi ebizwa “Oozwilakhe abangama-20 ngoku abaxhaswa yi-US” Ndibonise njengenye ye-20 ekhethiweyo indoda esalawulayo eQatar, uSheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. Lo zwilakhe wayengeyedwanga kwiSikolo saseSherborne (kwiKholeji yeZizwe ngezizwe) nakwiSikolo saseHarrow, nakwiSikolo saseRoyal Military Academy esisinyanzelo iSandhurst, “esifundise” ubuncinane abazwilakhe abahlanu kwabangama-20. Wenziwa igosa kumkhosi waseQatar ngqo eSandhurst. Ngo-2003 waba lisekela-mphathi-mkhosi. Wayesele efanelekile njengendlalifa yetrone ngokuba ne-pulse kwaye umkhuluwa wakhe akafuni igigi. Uyise wathatha itrone kuyisemkhulu kubhukuqo-mbuso lwasemkhosini olwaluxhaswa yiFransi. U-Emir unabafazi abathathu kuphela, omnye kuphela ongumzala wakhe wesibini.
I-Sheikh nguzwilakhe okhohlakeleyo kunye nomhlobo olungileyo wabasasazi bedemokhrasi abaphezulu behlabathi. Udibene no-Obama kunye noTrump kwi-White House kwaye kuxelwe ukuba ngabahlobo bakaTrump nangaphambi konyulo lwamva nje. Kwintlanganiso ye-Trump White House, wavuma "intsebenziswano yezoqoqosho" kunye ne-United States ebandakanya ukuthenga iimveliso ezininzi kwi-Boeing, Gulfstream, Raytheon, kunye ne-Chevron Phillips Chemical.
NgoJanuwari 31 walo nyaka, ngokutsho kwe Iwebhusayithi yeWhite House, “Umongameli uJoseph R. Biden, Omnci. udibene namhlanje no-Amir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani waseQatar. Ngokudibeneyo, baphinde baqinisekisa umdla wabo wokukhuthaza ukhuseleko kunye nenkqubela phambili kwi-Gulf kunye nommandla oMbindi Mpuma obanzi, beqinisekisa uzinzo lwezixhobo zamandla zehlabathi, ukuxhasa abantu base-Afghanistan, kunye nokomeleza intsebenziswano yorhwebo notyalo-mali. UMongameli kunye no-Amir bamkele ukutyikitywa kwesivumelwano se-20 yeebhiliyoni zeedola phakathi kweBoeing kunye neQatar Airways Group, eya kuxhasa amashumi amawaka emisebenzi yokuvelisa yase-US. Ngokuthathela ingqalelo intsebenziswano phakathi kwe-United States ne-Qatar, eye yanda kakhulu kule minyaka ingama-50 idlulileyo, uMongameli wazisa u-Amir ngenjongo yakhe yokumisela iQatar njengoMmeli oMkhulu ongeyo-NATO.
Idemokhrasi isendleleni!
I-Qatar incedise umkhosi wase-US (kunye nomkhosi waseKhanada) kwiimfazwe ezahlukeneyo, kuquka iMfazwe yeGulf, iMfazwe yase-Iraq, kunye neMfazwe yaseLibya, kunye nokuzibandakanya kwimfazwe yaseSaudi / yase-US eYemen. I-Qatar yayingaqhelananga nobunqolobi de kube kuhlaselo lwe-2005 - oko kukuthi, emva kwenkxaso yayo yokutshatyalaliswa kwe-Iraq. IQatar ikwaxhobile imikhosi yabavukeli/abanqolobi abangamaSilamsi eSyria naseLibya. IQatar ibingasoloko ilutshaba oluthembekileyo lweIran. Ke, ukwenziwa kweedemon kwe-Emir yayo kwimithombo yeendaba yase-US ekhokelela kwimfazwe entsha akukho ngaphaya kwendawo onokucinga ngayo, kodwa okwangoku ungumhlobo oxabisekileyo kunye nomhlobo.
Ngokutsho ISebe laseMelika Ngo-2018, "I-Qatar yinkosi yomgaqo-siseko apho u-Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani esebenzisa amandla alawulayo apheleleyo. . . . Imiba yamalungelo oluntu ibandakanya ukwenziwa kube lulwaphulo-mthetho ukunyelisa; Izithintelo zokuhlanganisana ngoxolo kunye nenkululeko yokunxulumana, kubandakanywa izithintelo kumaqela ezopolitiko kunye nemibutho yabasebenzi; izithintelo kwinkululeko yokuhambahamba kuhambo lwabasebenzi abafudukayo kumazwe angaphandle; imida ekukwazini kwabemi ukukhetha urhulumente kunyulo olukhululekileyo nolungenamkhethe; kunye nokwenza kube lulwaphulo-mthetho ukwabelana ngesondo kwabantu besini esinye. Bekukho iingxelo zokunyanzelwa komsebenzi athe urhulumente wathatha amanyathelo okulungisa. Owu, okoko nje kwathabatha amanyathelo okulungisa!
Khawucinge ukuba yintoni umahluko obuya kwenza ukuba amajelo eendaba ase-US ayeke ukubhekisa kurhulumente waseQatari kwaye aqalise ukubhekisa kubuzwilakhe bekhoboka baseQatari obuxhaswa yi-US. Kutheni le nto ukuchaneka okunjalo kungamkelekanga? Akunjalo ngenxa yokuba urhulumente wase-US akanakugxekwa. Kungenxa yokuba umkhosi wase-US kunye nabathengisi bezixhobo abanakugxekwa. Kwaye loo mgaqo unyanzeliswe ngokungqongqo kangangokuba ungabonakali.
I mpendulo
Amen!
