Isakhamuzi sase-Yemen esalahlekelwa yizihlobo ezimbili ezingenacala esitelekeni sango-2012 sezindiza ezingcolile, sibhalele uMongameli Obama ukuba axolise - ukuze ahoxise icala lasenkantolo, elizolalelwa eWashington DC kusasa.
UFaisal bin ali Jaber washonelwa umlamu wakhe - umshumayeli owayekhankasela i-Al Qaeda - kanye nomshana wakhe, oyiphoyisa lendawo, esitelekeni sango-Agasti 29, 2012 edolobhaneni laseKashamir eYemen.
UMnu Jaber - unjiniyela wezemvelo - kusasa (ngoLwesibili) uzohambela eWashington DC ukuyothamela lokho okuzoba ngowokuqala ngqa ukulalelwa kwecala lase-US ecaleni elavulwa yisisulu sohlelo oluyimfihlo lwe-drone.
Kodwa-ke, uMnu Jaber ubhalele uMongameli emazisa ukuthi “uzolesula ngenjabulo icala ukuze axolise,” futhi evuma ukuthi umlamu wakhe uSalem kanye nomshana wakhe uWaleed “babengenacala, hhayi amaphekula.
UMnu Jaber wahlangana namalungu eCongress kanye nezikhulu ze-Obama Administration ngo-2013, kodwa akazange athole incazelo noma ukuxolisa ngesiteleka esabulala izihlobo zakhe. Ngo-2014, umndeni wakhe wanikezwa i-$ 100,000 yezikweletu zamadola aseMelika emhlanganweni ne-Yemeni National Security Bureau (NSB) - lapho isikhulu sikaHulumeni wase-Yemeni sabazisa ukuthi imali yayivela e-US futhi wayeceliwe ukuthi ayidlulise.

UMnu Jaber uphinde wacela ukuthi ngaphambi kokuba ashiye isikhundla, uMongameli Obama akhiphe imininingwane enemininingwane mayelana nezisulu zabantu ababulawa yizindiza ezishaywa ngama-drone, okuhlanganisa namagama okubaliwe nokuthi ubani ongabalwa.
Ukuphawula, Jennifer Gibson, ummeli wabasebenzi enhlanganweni yamazwe ngamazwe yamalungelo abantu iReprieve, esiza uMnu Jaber wathi:
"UMongameli Obama ulungile ukuthi akhathazeke ngokuthi i-Trump Administration ingayenza kanjani ngohlelo lwakhe oluyimfihlo lwe-drone. Kodwa uma ezimisele ngokuyikhipha emthunzini, kufanele ayeke ukulwa nokuphendula. Kumele aphathe amakhulukhulu ezakhamuzi okuthi ngisho nezilinganiso eziguquguqukayo zithi lolu hlelo selubulele, futhi axolise kulabo abalahlekelwe yizihlobo zabo.
“Izihlobo zikaFaisal zazibeka engcupheni yokukhuluma ngokumelene ne-Al Qaeda, nokuzama nokugcina umphakathi wabo uphephile. Nokho babulawa uhlelo lwe-drone olungalawuleki olwenze amaphutha ashaqisayo futhi lenza umonakalo omkhulu kunokuhle. Esikhundleni sokulwa noFaisal enkantolo, uMongameli Obama kufanele axolise, avume iphutha lakhe, futhi anikele sonke isikhathi sakhe ehhovisi ekwakheni ukuziphendulela kwangempela ohlelweni olufihlwe ethunzini isikhathi eside kakhulu.
