UMZANTSI AFRIKA UGXGISE INKXASO ISIMEMO SUKASOBHALA-JIKELELE WEZIZWE EZIMANYENEYO SOKUBA SISISE IMILILO EMHLABENI WONKE KUMZABALI OKUNJWA NE-COVID-19 — NGOKUTHINTELA UKUTHUNYELWA KWAMANYE AMAZWE.
World BEYOND War—UMzantsi Afrika kunye neGreater Macassar Civic Association (Greater Macassar Civic Association) babhalele uMphathiswa uJackson Mthembu noNaledi Pandor, ngokwezikhundla zabo njengoSihlalo kunye noSekela Sihlalo weKomiti yeSizwe yoLawulo lweZigalo (NCACC), ukuba bacebise uthintelo olupheleleyo lokuthunyelwa kwezixhobo eMzantsi Afrika ngexesha. Ngowama-2020 nangowama-2021. UMzantsi Afrika ngomnye wabantu abangama-53 abatyikitye uxwebhu lwezikhalazo zikaMnu. Antonio Guterres zokuphelisa imfazwe, kwaye kulo nyaka uphinde waba lilungu leBhunga lezoKhuseleko le-UN.
Isindululo sivela kwisibhengezo somhla we-7 kuTshazimpuzi esenziwe yi-Rheinmetall Denel Munitions (RDM) eMacassar ukuba kwiintsuku zamva nje ityikitye isivumelwano esikhulu sokuthumela ngaphandle abaxhobi beenqwelo-mafutha ze-155mm. I-RDM iyala ukuxela indawo ekuyiwa kuyo, kodwa kukho amathuba aphezulu okuba ezi ntlawulo zenzelwe ukusetyenziswa eLibya. UMthetho weNCAC umisela ukuba uMzantsi Afrika awusayi kuthumela izixhobo kumazwe a) asebenzisa kakubi amalungelo oluntu, b) kwimimandla enongquzulwano kunye c) namazwe aphantsi kothintelo lwe-UN kunye nolunye uhlobo lwezixhobo.
Ilandelayo yileta ethunyelwe nge-imeyile kuBaphathiswa ngomhla we-13 kuTshazimpuzi:

UMphathiswa wezoBudlelwane baMazwe ngaMazwe neNtsebenziswano, uMphathiswa uNaledi Pandor
Nge-imeyile: 13 April 2020
Abaphathiswa ababekekileyo uJackson Mthembu kunye noNaledi Pandor.
Tuhlaba ikhwelo likaNobhala Jikelele weZizwe eziManyeneyo ukuba kupheliswe imfazwe kwihlabathi jikelele kwakunye neNCACC
Nceda udlulise umbulelo wethu kuMongameli Ramaphosa ngentetho yakhe nesizwe ngoLwesine. Uvakalise into ebesiyilindele ukusukela oko uMzantsi Afrika woyisa ucalucalulo ngendlela engummangaliso. Masidibane sonke ngoku kule ntlekele ikhoyo kwaye, xa ukuvalwa kususiwe, senze eli lizwe libe lilizwe lamaphupha ethu kunye nebhakana emhlabeni.
Sibhala ngokudibeneyo njengoko World Beyond War -SA kunye neGreater Macassar Civic Association ngokunxulumene nekhwelo likaNobhala-Jikelele weZizwe eziManyeneyo u-Antonio Guterres ukuba kupheliswe imfazwe ukuxhasa umzabalazo oqhubekayo wokulwa ne-Covid-19 - utshaba oluqhelekileyo olusongela lonke uluntu ngoku. Ngokukodwa, siyavuya ukuqaphela ukuba uMzantsi Afrika ubuphakathi kwamazwe angamashumi amahlanu anesithathu atyikitya uxwebhu lwezikhalazo zokuphelisa imfazwe. Inani ngoku lingaphaya kwamashumi asixhenxe.
Ekubeni uMzantsi Afrika kwakhona ulilungu leBhunga lezoKhuseleko le-UN, singaphinda sivakalise ithemba lokuba ilizwe lethu liza kukhokela ekukhuthazeni ukupheliswa kwemfazwe ngowama-2021? I-2 yeetriliyoni zeedola zase-US kunye nesichithwa kwihlabathi jikelele emfazweni kunye nokulungela umkhosi kufuneka iphinde yabelwe kwakhona kuqoqosho lwezoqoqosho- ngakumbi kumazwe aseMzantsi apho ukusukela nge-9/11, kwaye ngokuchasene nomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe, iimfazwe zitshabalalise zombini iziseko zoqoqosho kunye nentlalontle. .
Sinibhalela, Baphathiswa uMthembu noPandor, ngokwezikhundla zenu njengosihlalo nosekela-sihlalo weKomiti yeSizwe yoLawulo lweSigalo seSigaba (i-NCACC). UMthetho weNCAC umisela ukuba uMzantsi Afrika awusayi kuthumela izixhobo kumazwe a) asebenzisa kakubi amalungelo oluntu, b) kwimimandla enongquzulwano kunye c) nakumazwe aphantsi kothintelo lwezixhobo ze-UN kunye nolunye uhlobo lwezixhobo. Kungekudala emva kokuthatha uxanduva lwakho ne-NCACC, ngenkalipho wakunqumamisa ukuthunyelwa kwezixhobo zoMzantsi Afrika e-Saudi Arabia nakwi-United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Siyazi ukuba iRheinmetall Denel Munitions (RDM), Paramount kunye nabanye baphembelela ngenkani ukuba unqunyanyiso kufuneka lususwe ngenxa yefuthe lako kwimisebenzi. Ezi nkampani, nangona kunjalo, zihlala zingaboni nokuba zisebenzisana nolwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe eYemen okanye eLibya okanye kwimpilo neziphumo zokusingqongileyo eMzantsi Afrika kushishino lwezixhobo.
Ikomkhulu le-RDM likomkhulu eMacassar, yona ngokwayo eluluntu olunabantu abangama-50 000, neyinxalenye ye-Somerset West kumbindi wedolophu yaseKapa enabantu abazizigidi ezine. Akunakwenzeka ukuba nomzi-mveliso wezixhobo zembumbulu obekwe kwindawo yokuhlala. Uluntu lwaseMacassar luhlala lusazi malunga nomlilo ka-1997 kumzi-mveliso we-AE&CI omelene nedynamite, kunye nempilo kunye nezinye iintlungu eziye zabangelwa.
Ngaba kuyimfuneko ukuphinda loo mlilo okanye, ngenye indlela, intlekele yaseBhopal ngaphambi kokuba kuthathwe inyathelo lokuvala isikhululo seembumbulu ze-RDM eMacassar? Uya kuqonda kwakhona ukuba ugqabhuko-dubulo olwalulapho ngoSeptemba ka-2018 lwabulala abasebenzi abasibhozo, kwaye imiba ephakanyisiweyo ayikasonjululwa - kubandakanywa nokuba i-RDM ifanele ukutshutshiswa ngenxa yokungakhathali kolwaphulo-mthetho.
Ngaphezulu kweepesenti ze-85 zemveliso ye-RDM yokuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe, ngokukodwa kuMbindi Mpuma, kwaye izixhobo zayo ziye zachongwa njengesetyenziswa yiSaudi Arabia kunye ne-UAE ukwenza ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe eYemen. I-RDM yabhengeza ngomhla wesi-7 kuTshazimpuzi ukuba kwiintsuku zamva nje ityikitye isivumelwano se-US$80 sezigidi (i-R1.4 yezigidigidi) ukuvelisa amakhulu amawaka eentlawulo zemodyuli. Ezi ntlawulo ze-NATO-standard zenzelwe ukuqhubela phambili ii-artillery ze-155mm, ukuhanjiswa kumiselwe i-2021.

Nangona i-RDM isala ukuxela indawo ekuyiwa kuyo, kukho amathuba aphezulu okuba ezi ntlawulo zenzelwe ukusetyenziswa eLibya yiQatar okanye i-UAE, okanye zombini. I-Denel inikezele nge-G5 kunye / okanye i-G6 i-artillery kuzo zombini i-Qatar kunye ne-UAE, kwaye omabini amazwe kufuneka akhutshwe yi-NCACC njengendawo yokuthumela ngaphandle ngokwemiqathango ye-NCAC Act.
Ukongeza kwiinxaxheba ezahlukeneyo kwintlekele yaseYemeni, iQatar, iTurkey, i-UAE, i-Egypt kunye ne-Saudi Arabia zonke zibandakanyeka kakhulu kwimfazwe yaseLibya. IQatar kunye neTurkey zixhasa urhulumente oxhaswa ngamazwe ngamazwe eTripoli. I-UAE, i-Egypt kunye ne-Saudi Arabia zixhasa i-general General Khalifa Haftar. Wayekhe wahlala e-US iminyaka engama-20, uHaftar ngummi waseLibya-waseMelika kabini kwaye utyholwa ngokuba ngumsebenzi weCIA ophuma kulawulo ngoku.
Xa sijonga izinga eliphezulu lentswela-ngqesho eMzantsi Afrika, siyiqonda kakhulu imfuneko yokudala amathuba emisebenzi, ingakumbi eMacassar. Ishishini lezixhobo, kumazwe ngamazwe, lishishini elinemali eninzi kunelo elifuna abasebenzi abaninzi. Bubuxoki obupheleleyo obenziwa lishishini lokuba ngumthombo oyimfuneko wokudala imisebenzi. Ukongeza, ishishini lifumana inkxaso-mali eninzi kakhulu kwaye likhupha imithombo yoluntu, njengoko kubonisiwe yimbali yezemali yeDenel eyintlekele.
Ubungqina obungacingelwayo bucebisa ukuba umhlaba ose-RDM kunye nomzi-mveliso we-dynamite we-AE&CI omelene nawo ungcoliseke kakhulu kokusingqongileyo, kwaye phantse awukulungelanga ukuhlalwa ngabantu. Yindawo emalunga nama-3 000 eehektare (iikhilomitha ezingama-30), kwaye ngokubonakalayo ifanelekele ukuphuhliswa ngokutsha kweeprojekthi zamandla ahlaziyekayo nezizinzileyo. Amava ehlabathi aqinisekisa ukuba amandla ahlaziyekayo ngumdali osebenza ngakumbi kwaye onemveliso wemisebenzi emininzi nehlawulwa ngcono kuneshishini lezixhobo.
Ngokunjalo, baPhathiswa uMthembu kunye noPandor, sicela inkxaso yenu esebenzayo kwihlabathi nangaphakathi kwisibheno sikaNobhala Jikelele we-UN sokuyekisa imfazwe kwihlabathi liphela ngexesha lobhubhani we-Covid-19. Sikwacebisa ukuba yandiswe ngokuthintelwa ngokupheleleyo kokuthunyelwa kwezixhobo zaseMzantsi Afrika phakathi kowama-2020 nowama-2021. Njengoko uMnu Guterres ekhumbuze uluntu lwamazwe ngamazwe, imfazwe yeyona nto ingendawo ingabalulekanga kwaye kukuziyekelela ihlabathi elingenako ukukuhlawulela. xa kujongwa imeko esikuyo ngoku yezoqoqosho nezentlalo.
Sikwacela inkxaso yakho ekufikeleleni kwimithombo yezemali kunye nezoshishino ukuze uguqule i-Macassar ngokuphuhliswa kwakhona kwe-RDM kunye ne-AE & CI iipropati ngeenjongo zokuvelisa kunye noxolo endaweni yemfazwe, kunye nokuphakanyiswa kwezoqoqosho kunye nentlalo yoluntu lwethu.
