NgoMedea uBenjamin noAnn Wright, ngoMeyi 14, 2019
Isiganeko esiqhelekileyo sesiganeko esiye savela kwi-ambassy yaseVenezuela eWashington DC, ukususela ngoxa i-Embassy Protection Collective yaqala ukuhlala e-ambassy ngemvume yombuso okhethiweyo waseVenezuela ngo-Apreli 10 ukukhusela ekungenweni okungekho mthethweni kwe-Venezuela. Izenzo zamapolisa ngokuhlwa ngoMeyi 13 zongeze iqondo elitsha lomdlalo.
Ekubeni ukuchithwa kombane, ukutya kunye namanzi ngaphakathi kwe-ambassy akukwanele ukuphoqelelana ndawonye ukuba bahambe, ngoMsombuluko mva kamva, i-Washington DC i-Metropolitan Police yanikezela isaziso esineziphambeko esashicilelwe ngaphandle kwesikhombi okanye isignesha evela kwiphina urhulumente wase-US igosa.
Isaziso sathi ulawulo lweTrump luyaqonda inkokeli ye-opposition yaseVenezuela uJuan Guaido njengentloko kaRhulumente waseVenezuela kunye nokuba i-ambassador e-United States, uCarlos Vecchio, kunye nommeli wakhe omiselweyo kwi-Organisation of States States (OAS), UGustavo Tarre, kwakufuneka ukuba aqinisekise ukuba ngubani ovunyelwe kwi-Embassy. Abo bangagunyazisiwe ngabaposisi babefanele bathathwe njengabenzi bobugqwetha. Abo bangaphakathi kwisakhiwo "bacelwa" ukuba basuke esi sakhiwo.
Izaziso zibonakala zibhalwa yiqela laseGuido, kodwa lifakwe kwaye lifundwe ngamapolisa ase-DC njengokuba kwakuyixwebhu evela kurhulumente wase-US.
Amapolisa adlulisa isaziso kwiingcango ezungeze i-Embassy kwaye kamva abizwa kwisebe lomlilo ukuba anqumle i-lock kunye neketyu elalibekwe emnyango wangaphambili we-Embassy ekubeni ubudlelwane bezobudlelwane bezobudlelwane phakathi kwe-Venezuela ne-United States ngoJanuwari 23.
Ukongeza kwidrama, abaxhasayo bobabini baqala ukuqokelela. Amabutho asePu-gua, awamise iintente ezijikeleze umjikelezo we-ambassy kwaye amise inkampu yesikhathi eside ukuchasana nabahlali ngaphakathi kweso sakhiwo, yalelwe ukuba ihlise i-camp. Kwakubonakala ngathi le nto yayiyinxalenye yokubakhupha ngaphandle kwe-embassy ngaphakathi.
Kwiiyure ezimbini kamva, amanye amalungu ehlangene ngaphakathi kwe-ambassy ayishiya ngokuzithandela ukunciphisa umthwalo wokutya kunye namanzi, kwaye amalungu amane awazange avumelane noko babecinga umyalelo ongekho mthethweni wokuphuma kuloo ndawo. Isihlwele sasilindele ngokulindela ukuba amapolisa angene ngaphakathi kwaye asuse ngokwasemzimbeni, kwaye abambelele, amalungu ahlangeneyo aseleyo. Amabutho asePu-Guaido ayavuya, ebiza "tic-toc, tic-toc" njengoko bebalinganisa imizuzu ngaphambi kokusinda kwabo.
Kwimeko ephawulekayo, nangona kunjalo, endaweni yokubanjwa kwamalungu ahlala ngaphakathi, kwaqala iingxoxo ezinde phakathi kwabo, igqwetha labo uMara Verheyden-Hilliard namapolisa eDC. Ingxoxo yayijolise kwisizathu sokuba amalungu e-Embassy kwindawo yokuqala-ukuzama ukunqanda ulawulo lukaTrump ukuba lwaphule umthetho we-1961 weVienna Convention on Diplomatic and Consular Facilities ngokuguqula indawo yoonozakuzaku kurhulumente wobumbano.
Amalungu ahlangeneyo akhumbuza amagosa amapolisa ukuba emva kwemiyalelo engekho mthethweni ayibakhuseli ukuba bahlawuliswe ngezenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho.
Emva kweeyure ezimbini, endaweni yokubamba iqela, amapolisa ajika, avaliwe umnyango emva kwabo, abagcini beposi bathetha ukuba baya kubuza abaphathi babo ukuba baphathe njani le meko. Isihlwele samangaliswa kukuba iSebe likaRhulumente kunye ne-DC, emva kokuba ngaphezu kweenyanga ukulungiselela ukuxothwa, sele iqalile ukusebenza ngaphandle kwesicwangciso esipheleleyo sokubandakanya ukuboshwa kwemvume xa kwenzeka amalungu aqokelelekileyo angashiyi isakhiwo ngokuzithandela.
UKevin Zeese, ilungu eliqokelelweyo, wabhala a mazwi malunga neemeko zeQumrhu kunye ne-Embassy:
“Olu lusuku lwama-34 sihlala kwindlu yozakuzo yaseVenezuela eWashington, DC. Sikulungele ukuhlala ezinye iintsuku ezingama-34, okanye nokuba kufuneka ixesha elide kangakanani ukusombulula imbambano yozakuzo ngendlela yoxolo ehambelana nomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe… Phambi kokuba senze njalo, siyaphinda sithi iqela lethu linye labantu abazimeleyo nemibutho engadibaniyo nawo nawuphi na urhulumente. Ngelixa sonke singabemi baseMelika, asingabo abameli baseMelika. Ngelixa silapha ngemvume yoRhulumente waseVenezuela, asizizo iiarhente zabo okanye abameli babo ... Ukuphuma kwindlu yozakuzo okusombulula imiba ukuze kuxhamle i-United States neVenezuela sisivumelwano sokuKhusela aMandla. I-United States ifuna Amandla aKhuselayo kwindlu yozakuzo yayo eCaracas. I-Venezuela ifuna aMandla aKhuselayo kwindlu yozakuzo yayo e-DC. Abakhuseli boZakuzo abasayi kuzithintela, okanye bazimele kwindlu yozakuzo xa kunokwenzeka kungene amapolisa ngokungekho mthethweni. Siza kudibana kunye kwaye siqinisekise ngoxolo amalungelo ethu okuhlala kulwakhiwo kwaye sigcine umthetho wamazwe aphesheya… Nawuphi na umyalelo wokuba uphume ngokusekwe kwisicelo esenziwe ngabavukeli abangenalo igunya lolawulo ayisayi kuba ngumthetho osemthethweni. Ukudibana kusilele amatyeli amaninzi eVenezuela. Urhulumente onyuliweyo wamkelwe ziinkundla zaseVenezuela phantsi komthetho waseVenezuela kunye neZizwe eziManyeneyo phantsi komthetho wamanye amazwe. Umyalelo owenziwe ngabacwangcisi bemikhosi yaseMelika awunakuba semthethweni… Ukungena okunjalo kuya kubeka oonozakuzaku kwihlabathi liphela naseMelika emngciphekweni. Sixhalabile ngoonozakuzaku base-US kunye nabasebenzi kwihlabathi liphela ukuba iVienna Convention iphulwe kule ofisi yozakuzo. Ingabeka umzekelo oyingozi onokuthi usetyenziswe ngokuchasene noonozakuzaku base-US… .Ukuba ukukhutshwa ngokungekho mthethweni nokubanjwa ngokungekho mthethweni kuyabanjwa, bonke abenzi bezigqibo baya kuthwala uxanduva lokuphendula… .Kukho akukho mfuneko yokuba iUnited States neVenezuela zibe ziintshaba. Ukusombulula le mpikiswano yoonozakuzaku kufanele kukhokelele kuthethathethwano ngeminye imicimbi phakathi kwezizwe. ”
Silindele ukuba ulawulo lweTrump luya enkundleni namhlanje, ngoMeyi 14 ukucela i-order yaseburhulumenteni yaseburhulumenteni yase-US ukususa amalungu aqokelelwa kwi-Embassy yaseVenezuela.
Amalungu e-National Lawyers Guild wabhala ingxelo umceli mngeni kulawulo lukaTrump ngokunikezela ngezixhobo zoonozakuzaku kubantu abangekho mthethweni. Ababhale apha ngezantsi batyhola ukwaphulwa komthetho okwenzeka kwiNdlu yoZakuzo yaseVenezuela eWashington DC kwaye bafuna inyathelo elikhawulezileyo. Phambi kuka-Epreli 25, 2019, iqela labaphembeleli boxolo bamenywa kwi-Ofisi yoZakuzo ngurhulumente waseVenezuela-eyaziwa njenge-United Nations-kwaye baqhubeka nokuba semthethweni kuloo ndawo.
Nangona kunjalo, urhulumente waseUnited States, ngokusebenzisa i-arhente zokunyanzelisa umthetho, uvumelekile kwaye ukhusele abachasene nodlova ekuxhaseni ukuzama ukuvinjelwa kwe-Embassy. Ngokwenza njalo, urhulumente wase-United States udala umzekelo onobungozi wobudlelwane bezopolitiko kunye nazo zonke iintlanga. Ezi zenzo azikho mthethweni kuphela, kodwa zibeka ii-ambassasi emhlabeni wonke engozini ... .Ukudeka okuboniswe yiCandelo loLawulo lweTrump kule migqaliselo kunye nomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe kubeka ingozi kuyo yonke inkqubo yobudlelwane bezobudlelwane bezobudlelwane obungaba nefuthe kwilizwe umhlaba.
Isibhengezo esibhaliweyo sokuba iUnited States iphelise ngokukhawuleza ukuhlaselwa okuxhaswa nguRhulumente kunye nokungenelela ngokungekho mthethweni eVenezuela kunye noorhulumente wayo, oyaqhubeka uhlonishwa yiZizwe eziManyeneyo kunye neyona ininzi yehlabathi. Sifuna ukuba ukunyanzeliswa komthetho wendawo kunye nomthetho ngokukhawuleza kungavumi ukuveza ukuvakalisa uxolo kunye nabaxhasi babo ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwe-Embassy ukuba benzakalise ukuphulwa kwamalungelo abo oluntu. "
Njengokuba le saga yekamva leNdlu yoZakuzo yaseVenezuela eGeorgetown iqhubeka nokuvela, imbali iyakurekhoda oku njengendawo yokutshintsha kubudlelwane base-US-Venezuela, ukophula umthetho wase-US kwimiba ephambili yomthetho wamazwe aphesheya kwaye ikakhulu, njengomzekelo wobuqhawe Abemi baseMelika benza konke okusemandleni abo-kubandakanya ukungatyi, amanzi kunye nombane kwaye bajongane nokuhlaselwa mihla le ngabachasi-ukuzama ukumisa ukubhukuqwa kwe-US.
