UDonald Trump manje usetshele umhlaba wonke ukuthi unenkinobho yenuzi enkulu kunomholi waseNorth Korea. Kungaba yinto ehlekisayo ukube izimpilo zezigidi bezingekho engcupheni.
I-Trump ingabazisi, noma ayiqondi, i-diplomacy. Mhlawumbe izwe lethu lingenza kangcono? Sifunde ngokumangala okujabulisayo ngomhla ka-Nov. 28, 2017 ukuthi uhulumeni wethu izobamba umkhankaso wobunxusa. Ngokujabulisayo, abaningi bethu bahlanganise imithombo yethu yezindaba ukuze bathole izinhloso nemininingwane yalo mhlangano. Kuze kube manje izithelo zomsebenzi wethu zincane. Yini ngempela ezokwenzeka e-Vancouver ngo-Jan. 16?
Ukukhetha idiplomacy esikhundleni sebutho lezempi kuyinto enhle ngempela. Futhi kuye kwakhuthaza ukufunda ngokuthi iCanada ingakwazi kanjani ukuzuza ukwethenjwa yiNorth Korea kalula kune-US Ukuphawula kwesikhulu saseCanada sokuthi iCanada ifuna “imibono engcono” kunaleyo ephambi kwethu okwamanje kungolunye uphawu oluhle, njengoba kunjalo. Isiphakamiso sikaTrudeau sokuthi ubudlelwano beCanada neCuba bungasinika isiteshi esingakhuluma ngaso neNyakatho Korea.
Kepha umhlangano weVancouver nawo unezici ezingagculisi.
Okokuqala, umlingani weCanada ekuhleleni umbuthano yi-United States, isitha esiqinile saseNyakatho Korea. UTrump kanye nonobhala wakhe wezokuvikela basanda kusabisa ngokubulala i-DPRK.
Okwesibili, amazwe amaningi azomelwa eVancouver yilawo athumela amasosha empini yaseKorea ukuthi ayolwa neNorth Korea. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi abaseNyakatho Korea babone lo mhlangano njengesinyathelo sokwakhiwa kwe-Coalition of the Willing, efana naleyo eyandulela ukuhlasela kwe-Iraq ngo-2003?
Okwesithathu, kubonakala sengathi iNorth Korea ngeke ibe nomkhulumeli eVancouver. Kodwa inkinga yamanje iwukubonakaliswa kokungqubuzana okuyisisekelo, futhi lokho kungqubuzana kungaxazululwa kanjani ngaphandle kokubonisana noyedwa wabaphikisi abakhulu? Ngabe lokhu kuzofana nenqubo kaBonn ka-2001 eyaxazulula izingxabano zase-Afghan ngaphandle kokubonisana namaTaliban? Lokho akuhambanga kahle.
Uma uNgqongqoshe Wezangaphandle uChrystia Freeland ekhuluma ngomhlangano ozayo ugcizelela isimo sawo sokukhuluma, kodwa uNobhala Wezwe waseMelika, uRex Tillerson, ukuchaze njengendlela yokwandisa ingcindezi eNorth Korea.
Ingcindezi? I-UN Security Council isivele ifaka ingcindezi enkulu eNorth Korea kangangokuthi ukuba khona kwayo njengezwe lezimboni kusongelwa futhi abantu bayo bangase babhekane nendlala. Isiphi isimo esingasinda ekuncishisweni ngamaphesenti angama-90 kuwoyela?
Kodwa uma ukucindezela okwandayo kungafaneleki “njengombono ongcono,” kungaba yini?
Nansi imibono emine. Sikholelwa ukuthi banikeza okuwukuphela kwethemba elingokoqobo lokuthula kwangempela.
- Yeka ukuthuka iNorth Korea. Susa igama elithi "rogue state". Khohlwa ngokuthi ubani onenkinobho yenuzi enkulu. Phatha ubuholi bezwe njengobuphilile engqondweni, obunengqondo futhi obukwazi ukuba nguzakwethu ohlelweni lokuthula.
- Yakha ukwethembana nokuzethemba kancane kancane ngesenzo esihle. Akudingekile ukuthi zonke lezi zinyathelo zibe zezomnotho, kodwa kufanele kube khona ukukhululeka enkingeni ekhona manje yezomnotho. Uchungechunge lokuhwebelana okungokomfanekiso, ezobuciko nezokusubatha, kufanele lube yingxenye yohlelo.
- Yazi ukuthi iNorth Korea inokukhathazeka okusemthethweni kwezokuphepha nokuthi isifiso sokuba nesivimbeli senuzi siyakhula kulokhu kukhathazeka. Khumbula ukuthi izwe ladlula empini ebhubhisayo, liye labhekana nokucasulwa nokusongelwa okuphindaphindiwe, futhi liye lakhuthazelela ukuqondiswa izikhali zenuzi zase-US iminyaka engaphezu kwe-65.
- Qala umsebenzi onzima obheke esivumelwaneni sokuthula esihlala njalo esizongena esikhundleni sesivumelwano sokuyeka ukulwa sango-1953. I-US kumele ibe yilungu elisayine lesi sivumelwano.
Uma thina bantu baseCanada sicabanga ukuthi ukuthula okuhlala njalo neNorth Korea kuzotholakala ngokuhlambalaza nokulambisa abantu balelo zwe elikhungethwe yiziwula, futhi singenanhliziyo, njengalabo ababeka ukholo lwabo emabhomu.
Futhi uma singakwazi ukwenza kangcono eVancouver kunokukhuluma “ngokwandisa ingcindezi” eNyakatho Korea umhlaba ungase ungalokothi usixolele ngokumosha ithuba lethu.
