Ngo-2021, abaphathi be-Biden bamemezele ukuphela kokubamba iqhaza kwe-US emisebenzini ehlaselayo eholwa yiSaudi e-Yemen. Nokho i-United States iqhubekile nokuhlinzeka izingxenye eziyisipele, ukunakekelwa, nokusekelwa kwezinhlelo zezindiza zempi zaseSaudi.

I-Article I, Isigaba 8 soMthethosisekelo sikwenza kucace, igatsha lokushaya umthetho linegunya elilodwa lokumemezela impi. Ngeshwa, ukuzibandakanya kwezempi yase-US nomfelandawonye oholwa yiSaudi, okuhlanganisa nezinamathiseli zezempi zase-US ezibhekelele ukuhlinzekwa okuqhubekayo kwezingxenyana eziyisipele nokugcinwa kwezindiza zase-Saudi eYemen, kusishaya indiva lesi sigatshana soMthethosisekelo wase-US. Iphinde indibe isigaba 8c soMthetho Wamandla Empi ka-1973, wona kuvimbela Amasosha aseMelika angakwazi “ukuyala, ukuxhumanisa, ukubamba iqhaza, noma ukuhambisana nebutho lezempi elivamile noma elingajwayelekile lanoma yiliphi izwe langaphandle noma uhulumeni lapho amabutho ezempi ehlanganyela, noma kukhona usongo oluseduze lokuthi amabutho anjalo azoba. ezibandakanya, ezimpini” ngaphandle kwemvume evela kuKhongolose.

Inethiwekhi yethu yezwe lonke ikhathazekile ngokuthi isivumelwano sesikhashana ezweni lonke, esiphelelwe yisikhathi ngomhlaka-2 Okthoba, asizange sivuselelwe. Yize izingxoxo zokwelula isivumelwano zisangenzeka, ukungabi khona kwesivumelwano kwenza isenzo sase-US sokuthula sidingeke nakakhulu. Ngeshwa, nangaphansi kwesivumelwano, esaqala ngo-Ephreli 2022, kwaba nokuphulwa okuningi kwesivumelwano ngamaqembu alwayo. Manje, ngenxa yokuvikelwa okulinganiselwe isivumelwano esihlinzekiwe, inkinga yobuntu isalokhu inzima kakhulu. Cishe amaphesenti angama-50 kuphela ezidingo zikaphethiloli e-Yemen ahlangabeziwe (kusukela ngo-Okthoba 2022), futhi ukubambezeleka okukhulu kokuthunyelwa okungena echwebeni laseHodeida kusaqhubeka ngenxa yemikhawulo yaseSaudi.

Ukuqinisa lesi sivumelwano esintekenteke futhi kuqhutshekwe nokugqugquzela iSaudi Arabia ukuthi isekele isixazululo okuxoxiswana ngaso sokuqeda impi nokuvinjwa, iCongress kumele isebenzise ingxenye yayo eyinhloko e-Yemen ngokuvimbela ukuqhubeka kwanoma yikuphi ukuhlanganyela kwezempi yase-US empini yaseYemen futhi icacise amaSaudis ukuthi abakwazi ukuhoxa kulokhu kumiswa komlilo njengoba benzile ngaphambilini, okubakhuthaza ukuthi bafike endaweni enokuthula.

Siyakunxusa ukuthi usize ekuqhubekiseleni phambili le mpi ngokuxhasa i-SJRes.56/HJRes.87, Isixazululo Samandla Empi, ukuqeda ngokuphelele konke ukusekelwa kwe-US ngengxabano ebangele ukuchitheka kwegazi okungaka nokuhlupheka kwabantu.
