Joel UCHARNY: Nokho, uStephen O'Brien wakuchaza kahle kakhulu. Emazweni amane, ngenxa yezinxushunxushu—esomeni esisodwa kuphela, iSomalia, esinesomiso, naso esibangela ukuswela. Kodwa eYemen, eSomalia, eSouth Sudan nasenyakatho yeNigeria, izigidi zabantu zisonqenqemeni lwendlala, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yokuphazamiseka kokukhiqizwa kokudla, ukungakwazi kwezikhungo zosizo ukungena, kanye nezingxabano eziqhubekayo, kwenza ukuphila kube usizi ezigidini zabantu.
AMY U-GOODMAN: Ngakho-ke ake siqale ngeYemen, uJoel. Ngisho ukuthi, unesithombe sikaMongameli Trump izolo ehlezi nomholi waseSaudi eWhite House. Impi eyenzeka eYemen, ukuqhuma kwamabhomu eSaudi, isekelwa yi-United States, ungakhuluma ngomphumela lokhu okube nawo kubantu?
Joel UCHARNY: Kube yimpi engapheli, nokwephulwa komthetho wamazwe ngamazwe wosizo lwabantu ngabakwaSaudis kanye nomfelandawonye abayingxenye yawo, kanye namaHouthi amelana nokuhlaselwa kweSaudi. Futhi kusukela ekuqaleni kokuqhuma kwamabhomu-ngiqonde, ngikhumbula kahle, ngenkathi kuqala ukuqhuma kwamabhomu, phakathi-phakathi nendawo yamasonto ambalwa, izindawo zokugcina izimpahla nezakhiwo zamahhovisi zezinhlangano ezintathu noma ezine ezingekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni ezisebenza eYemen zashaywa yiSaudi. ukuhlasela. Futhi okwenzekile, i-Yemen ingenisa amaphesenti angama-90 okudla kwayo ngisho nangezikhathi ezijwayelekile, ngakho-ke lokhu akukona kangako ukuphazamiseka kokukhiqizwa kokudla, kodwa kungukuphazamiseka kwezentengiselwano ngenxa yokuqhuma kwamabhomu, ngenxa yokuvinjwa, ngenxa yokunyakaza kwe ibhange likazwelonke ukusuka eSana'a kwehle kuya e-Aden. Futhi uma sekuhlanganiswe konke, kudala isimo esingenakwenzeka ezweni elincike ngokuphelele ekuthengisweni kokudla kwamanye amazwe ukuze liphile.
AMY U-GOODMAN: NgoMsombuluko, iWorld Food Programme ithe basemjahweni wokulwa nesikhathi ukuvimbela indlala eYemen. Lona umqondisi omkhulu, u-Ertharin Cousin, osanda kubuya evela e-Yemen.
U-ERTHARIN UMZALA: Sinezinyanga ezintathu zokudla okugcinwe ezweni namuhla. Siphinde sibe nokudla okusemanzini endleleni eya khona. Kodwa asinakho ukudla okwanele ukweseka izinga elidingekayo ukuze siqinisekise ukuthi singakwazi ukugwema indlala. Esesikwenza wukuthatha ukudla okulinganiselwe esinakho ezweni sikusabalalise kuze kufike lapho singakwazi khona, okusho ukuthi besinikeza izabelo ezingamaphesenti angama-35 ezinyangeni eziningi. Sidinga ukuya kuma-rations angu-100%.
AMY U-GOODMAN: Ngakho-ke, i-US ihlinzeka ngezikhali zomkhankaso waseSaudi, umkhankaso wempi, eYemen. Iziteleka zandile. Ucabanga ukuthi yini okumele yenzeke ukuze kusindiswe abantu baseYemen ngalesi sikhathi?
Joel UCHARNY: Kuleli qophelo, okuwukuphela kwesixazululo wuhlobo oluthile lwesivumelwano phakathi kwezinhlangothi ezingqubuzanayo—amaSaudi kanye namadlelandawonye awo kanye namaHouthi. Futhi onyakeni odlule, izinyanga eziyi-18, izikhathi ezimbalwa besisondele ekuboneni isivumelwano okungenani esingakhipha ukumiswa kokudubula noma ukuqeda ukuqhuma kwamabhomu okungapheli obekwenzeka. Nokho, ngaso sonke isikhathi, isivumelwano siyabhidlika. Futhi, ngisho, lokhu kuyindaba lapho uma impi iqhubeka, abantu bazobulawa yindlala. Angicabangi ukuthi kukhona umbuzo ngalokho. Kumele sithole indlela yokuthi impi iphele. Futhi njengamanje, kukhona nje ukuntuleka okuphelele komzamo wokuzama ukuxazulula lesi simo.

Joel UCHARNY: Futhi, Amy, kufanele kugcizelelwe ukuthi lena akuyona into, uyazi, eyaqala ngoJanuwari 20. Izinhlangano ezisiza abantu eWashington, uyazi, mina kanye nozakwethu, besilokhu sikhomba, kusukela ngonyaka wokugcina wokuphatha kuka-Obama, ukuthi, uyazi, umkhankaso wokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu ubuholela esimeni sobuntu esingalawuleki, futhi Ukwesekwa kwe-US kulowo mkhankaso wokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu bekuyinkinga kakhulu ngokombono wobuntu. Ngakho-ke, uyazi, lokhu kuyinto i-US ebilokhu iyishayela isikhathi eside. Futhi futhi, njengezinto eziningi njengamanje, kufanele kubonakale ngaphakathi komongo wempi noma impi ye-proxy phakathi, uyazi, i-Saudis ne-Iran yokulawula nokuphakama eMpumalanga Ephakathi. AmaHouthi athathwa njengommeleli we-Iranian. Abaningi bayakuphikisa lokho, kodwa lokho akulishintshi iqiniso lokuthi kunempi eqhubekayo ebonakala ingenakuxazululeka. Futhi siyadinga—futhi futhi, akudingekile ukuthi ivele e-US Mhlawumbe ingavela ku-UN ngaphansi kobuholi bukanobhala-jikelele wayo omusha, u-António Guterres.
