Mnumzane uMongameli,

Ezinsukwini zokugcina zobumongameli bakho, sikubhalela njengabakwaNobel Laureates ukuze sikunxuse ukuthi ulungise ukungabi nabulungisa okuyingqophamlando kwabantu baseChagossian, asebehlale ekudingisweni abantulayo cishe iminyaka engamashumi amahlanu.

AbakwaChagossia baxoshwa ezindlini zabo esiqhingini esilawulwa yiBrithani i-Diego Garcia ukuze bavule indawo yesikhungo samasosha ase-US. Sekungamashumi eminyaka, amaChagossia acela ilungelo lokubuyela ekhaya. NgoNovemba, abantu bakhungatheka lapho i-UK ithi ngeke ikuvumele ukubuya yize ucwaningo oluxhaswe nguhulumeni wase-UK olukhombisa ukuthi ukuhlaliswa kabusha kuyenzeka. Nguwe kuphela onawo amandla okusiza amaChagossia ukuthi abuyele ezweni lawokhokho futhi, kule nqubo, aqinise ifa lakho njengomvikeli wamalungelo abantu.

Kufanele sigcizelele ukuthi amaChagosians anjalo hhayi ikucela ukuthi uvale noma uguqule isizinda sase-U.S. Bacela kuphela ukuvunyelwa ukubuyela eziqhingini zabo ukuze bahlale ngokuthula nesisekelo.

Okhokho bamaChagossia baqala ukufika e-Chagos Archipelago bengama-Afrika agqilaziwe kanye namaNdiya avalelwe. Kusukela ngesikhathi seNguquko yaseMelika kuze kube sekufudukeni kwabo, izizukulwane zamaChagossia zazihlala eziqhingini zihlakulela isiko lokuziqhenya.

Ngo-1966 U.S./U.K. Esivumelwaneni, i-US yathembisa i-U.K. $ 14 million ukuthola amalungelo ayisisekelo kanye nokususwa kwawo wonke ama-Chagosians ku-Diego Garcia. Phakathi kuka-1968 no-1973, amanxusa aseBrithani, esizwa izisebenzi ZaseMpi Yezempi Yase-U.S., adingisa abantu baseChagossia endaweni eqhele ngamakhilomitha angu-1,200 XNUMX emijondolo eseziqhingini zaseMauritius naseSeychelles. AbakwaChagossia abazange bathole usizo lokuhlaliswa kabusha.

Selokhu axoshwa, amaChagossia aphila ngobumpofu obukhulu futhi elwela ukubuyela ezweni lawo. Ngokudabukisayo, abaphathi bangaphambilini base-US nase-UK bavimbe noma yikuphi ukuhlaliswa kabusha futhi bakushaya indiva ukuhlupheka kwabantu.

Muva nje, ukwesekwa kokubuyisela bekwakhiwa emhlabeni wonke. Izakhamizi zihlala eduze kwezisekelo zase-US emhlabeni jikelele, futhi ochwepheshe bezempi bayavuma ukuthi ukuhlaliswa kabusha ngeke kube yingozi yezokuphepha ku-Diego Garcia. Ukunwetshwa kwakamuva kwe-1966 U.S./U.K. isivumelwano sinikeza ithuba elikahle lokuhlonipha ilungelo lamaChagossia lokuhlala ezweni lakubo. Ngakho, sikubuza:

(1) Ukusho obala ukuthi i-U.S. ayiphikisani namaChagossia abuyela eziqhingini zawo;

(2) Ukuqaphela ilungelo eliyisisekelo lamaChagossia lokuhlala ezweni lakubo namalungelo alinganayo okuncintisana ngemisebenzi yomphakathi esisekelweni;

(3) Ukuhlinzeka ngosizo olufanele lokuhlaliswa kabusha kwamaChagosians kanye nosizo ekufuneni umsebenzi ngesisekelo;

(4) Ukuqinisekisa nokuqinisa lawa malungelo e-U.S./U.K. isivumelwano sesisekelo; futhi

(5) Ukuqala izingxoxo eziqondile nabamele i-Chagossian kulezi zindaba.

Unamandla okulungisa lokhu kungabi nabulungisa okuyingqophamlando. Unamandla okukhombisa umhlaba ukuthi i-U.S. isekela amalungelo abantu ayisisekelo. Sicela usize ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi ubulungiswa benziwa kumaChagossia.
