Kusukela Impi Yubugebengu
Ngomhla zingama-23 kuMasingana isikebhe esigcwele ngokweqile sagingqika ngasogwini lwase-Aden eSouthern Yemen. Abashushumbisi bapakishe abagibeli abangu-152 abavela eSomalia nase-Ethiopia esikebheni, kwathi besesolwandle, kubikwa ukuthi badonsela abafuduki izibhamu ukuze babaqole imali eyengeziwe. Isikebhe eguquliwe, ngokusho kweThe Guardian, ngemuva kokudubula kubangele ukwethuka. Isibalo sabashonile, okumanje singu-30, kulindeleke ukuthi sikhuphuke. Bekugibele inqwaba yezingane.
Abagibeli base belubeke engcupheni uhambo oluyingozi olusuka ogwini lwase-Afrika beya e-Yemen, ukuwela okuyingozi okushiya abantu besengozini yezithembiso zamanga, abathumbi abahlukunyezwayo, ukuboshwa ngokungafanele kanye nokwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu ngesihluku. Ukuphelelwa yithemba ngezidingo eziyisisekelo kuqhubekisele amakhulu ezinkulungwane zabafuduki base-Afrika eYemen. Abaningi banethemba lokuthi lapho befika, bangagcina baye emazweni aseGulf athuthukile enyakatho lapho bengathola khona umsebenzi nesilinganiso esithile sokulondeka. Kepha ukuphelelwa yithemba nokulwa eningizimu yeYemen kwakunyantisa ngokwanele ukukholisa iningi labafuduki abagibela isikebhe esishushumbisa ngoJanuwari 23 ukuze bazame ukubuyela e-Afrika.
Ibhekise kulabo abaminza ngesikhathi kuketuka isikebhe, i-Amnesty International Lynn Maalouf uthe: “Le nhlekelele edabukisayo igcizelela, futhi, ukuthi impi yaseYemen isaqhubeka nokuba yingozi kangakanani kubantu. Phakathi kwezingxabano eziqhubekayo kanye nemingcele ecindezelayo ebekwe umfelandawonye oholwa yiSaudi Arabia, abantu abaningi abeza eYemen bebalekela izingxabano nokucindezelwa kwenye indawo manje sebephoqeleka ukuthi babaleke futhi befuna ukuphepha. Abanye bayafa kulolu hlelo.”
Ngo-2017, ngaphezu 55,000 abafuduki base-Afrika yafika eYemen, iningi labo kuyintsha ephuma eSomalia nase-Ethiopia lapho kunemisebenzi embalwa futhi isomiso esibi siphusha abantu engcupheni yendlala. Kunzima ukuhlela noma ukukhokhela izinto zokuhamba ngale kwe-Yemen. Abafuduki bavaleleke ezweni elimpofu kakhulu enhlonhlweni yama-Arab, manje, kanye namazwe ambalwa aseNyakatho Afrika akhungethwe yisomiso, abhekene nenhlekelele embi kakhulu yokusiza abantu kusukela ngeMpi Yezwe II. EYemen, abantu abayizigidi eziyisishiyagalombili basonqenqemeni lwendlala njengoba izimo ezikhungethwe izingxabano eziseduze nendlala zishiya izigidi zingenakudla namanzi okuphuza aphephile. Abantu abangaphezu kwesigidi bahlaselwe yikholera ngonyaka odlule futhi imibiko yakamuva yengeza ukuqubuka kwe-diphtheria kulokhu okwesabekayo. Impi yombango iye yanda futhi yandisa usizi ngenkathi, kusukela ngoMashi ka-2015, umfelandawonye oholwa yiSaudi, ohlanganiswe futhi osekelwa yi-US, uye waqhumisa amabhomu izakhamuzi nengqalasizinda eYemen ngenkathi futhi egcina ukuvinjelwa okuvimbela ukuthuthwa kokudla okudingeka kakhulu, uphethiloli. kanye nemithi.
UMaalouf unxuse umphakathi wamazwe omhlaba ukuthi "umise ukuhanjiswa kwezikhali okungasetshenziswa kule ngxabano." Ukulalela ikhwelo likaMaalouf, umphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe kufanele ekugcineni ubhuntshise ukuhaha kosonkontileka bezempi bamazwe ngamazwe abazuza ngokuthengisa izigidigidi zamadola ezikhali eSaudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain nakwamanye amazwe akumfelandawonye oholwa yiSaudi. Isibonelo, umbiko kaNovemba, 2017 Reuters washo lokho I-Saudi Arabia ivumile ukuthenga izikhali eziqondisiwe ezinembayo ezingabiza u-$7 billion kosonkontileka base-US. I-UAE iphinde yathenga izigidigidi zezikhali zaseMelika.
I-Raytheon ne-Boeing yizinkampani ezizohlomula kakhulu esivumelwaneni esasiyingxenye yesivumelwano sezikhali sika-$110 billion esihambisana nokuvakasha kukaMongameli uDonald Trump eSaudi Arabia ngoMeyi.
Okunye ukuwela okuyingozi kwenzeke kulesi sifunda ngesonto eledlule. USomlomo weNdlu yase-US uPaul Ryan (R-WI) ufike eSaudi Arabia, kanye nethimba lengqungquthela, ukuzohlangana nenkosi yasebukhosini uSalman futhi ngemuva kwalokho neNkosana yaseSaudi Crown, uMohammed bin Salman ohlele impi yomfelandawonye oholwa yiSaudi eYemen. . Ngemva kwalokho kuvakasha, uRyan kanye nethimba bahlangana nezihlobo zasebukhosini ezivela e-UAE.
“Ngakho qiniseka,” kusho Ryan, ekhuluma nombuthano wosopolitiki abasebasha e-UAE, “ngeke sime kuze kube yilapho i-ISIS, i-al-Qaeda, nezinhlangano ezisebenzisana nazo sezinqotshiwe futhi zingabe zisaba usongo e-United States nabasizi bethu.
"Okwesibili, futhi mhlawumbe okubaluleke kakhulu, sigxile ekusongeleni i-Iranian ekuzinzeni kwesifunda."
Ngaphandle kweqiniso elilula eliqoshwe kahle lokusekela ngokwezimali kweSaudi Arabia ngobushokobezi bamaSulumane, ukuphawula kukaRyan akukunaki ukuhlasela kwamasosha okuholwa yinhlangano eholwa yiSaudi kanye “nemisebenzi ekhethekile” eYemen, i-US eyisekela futhi iyijoyine. Impi yakhona ibukela phansi imizamo yokulwa namaqembu eJihadist, aphumelele ezinxushunxushwini zempi, ikakhulukazi eningizimu engaphansi kombuso ohlangene neSaudi Arabia.
Uhulumeni wase-Irani uRyan ugxeke ukuthi unabambisene nabo e-Yemen futhi kungenzeka ukuthi ushushumbisela izikhali e-Iran, kodwa akekho oke wabasola ngokuhlinzeka abavukeli baseHouthi ngamabhomu ahlangene, imicibisholo eqondiswa nge-laser kanye nemikhumbi yokulwa (eduze nasogwini) ukuze ivimbe amachweba abalulekile. ekuqedeni indlala. I-Iran ayihlinzeki ngokufaka amafutha emoyeni ezindizeni zempi ezisetshenziswa ekuqhumeni kwamabhomu nsuku zonke phezu kweYemen. I-US idayise konke lokhu emazweni akumfelandawonye oholwa yiSaudi, nawo asebenzise lezi zikhali ukucekela phansi ingqalasizinda yaseYemen kanye nokudala isiphithiphithi nokwandisa ukuhlupheka phakathi kwezakhamuzi zaseYemen.
URyan akashiyi lutho ngendlala, izifo, kanye nokufuduka okuhlupha abantu baseYemen. Udebeselele ukukhuluma ngokuhlukunyezwa kwamalungelo abantu okubhaliwe kunethiwekhi yamajele ayimfihlo asetshenziswa yi-UAE eningizimu yeYemen. U-Ryan kanye nethimba badale isikrini sokubhema sokukhathazeka ngempilo yomuntu esifihla ukwesaba kwangempela lapho izinqubomgomo zase-US zifake khona abantu baseYemen kanye nesifunda esizungezile.
Ukulamba okungenzeka kwezingane zabo kwethusa abantu abangakwazi ukuthengela imindeni yabo ukudla. Labo abangakwazi ukuthola amanzi okuphuza aphephile babhekana nethuba elibi lokuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni noma izifo. Abantu ababalekela amabhomu, abahlaseli, namabutho ahlomile angase ababambe ngaphandle kwesizathu bayaqhaqhazela ngenxa yokwesaba njengoba bezama ukwenza izindlela zokubaleka.
U-Paul Ryan, kanye nethimba likakhongolose elalihamba naye, babe nethuba elimangalisayo lokusekela izicelo zosizo ezenziwa yizikhulu ze-UN nabagqugquzeli bamalungelo abantu.
Esikhundleni salokho, uRyan uthe okuwukuphela kwezinkinga zokuphepha okufanele zibalulwe yilezo ezisongela abantu base-US Wathembisa ukubambisana nabashiqela abanonya abaziwayo ngokwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu emazweni abo, nase-Yemen ecindezelekile. Usole uhulumeni wase-Iran ngokugxambukela ezindabeni zamanye amazwe nokuhlinzeka amasosha ngemali nezikhali. Inqubomgomo yezangaphandle yase-US yehliswa ngobuwula yaba "abantu abalungile," i-US kanye nabalingani bayo, ngokumelene "nomuntu omubi," - Iran.
“Abafana abalungile” abakha futhi badayise inqubomgomo yezangaphandle yase-US kanye nokuthengiswa kwezikhali kuyisibonelo sokunganaki okungenanhliziyo kwabashushumbisi abagembula ukuphila kwabantu ezindaweni eziyingozi kakhulu.
