UMLANDO: I-WESTERN SAHARA

I-Western Sahara izungezwe enyakatho yiMorocco, eningizimu yiMauritania, empumalanga yi-Algeria, nasentshonalanga yi-Atlantic Ocean, enendawo engaba amakhilomitha-skwele angama-266,000.

Abantu baseWestern Sahara, abaziwa ngokuthi amaSaharawis, bathathwa njengezakhamuzi zomdabu zakulesi sifunda, esaziwa ngele-EL-Sakia El-Hamra Y Rio de Oro. Bakhuluma ulimi oluhlukile, i-Hassaniya, ulimi lwesigodi olususelwa kusi-Arabhu sakudala. Omunye umehluko ophawulekayo ukuthuthukisa kwabo enye yezinhlelo zentando yeningi ezindala kakhulu nezinesikhathi eside emhlabeni. I-Council of Forty-Hands (i-Aid Arbaeen) iyingqungquthela yabadala bezizwe abajutshwe ukumela abantu abayimizulane ababekhona ngokomlando esifundeni. Njengegunya eliphakeme kunawo wonke endaweni, izinqumo zawo ziyabopha, futhi umkhandlu unelungelo lokuhlanganisa bonke abantu baseSahara ukuze bavikele izwe labo.

I-Morocco ithathe iWestern Sahara kusukela ngo-1975, nokho-ke, iNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene iyithatha njengenye yezindawo zokugcina ezingabuseki emhlabeni. Kusukela ngo-1884-1975 yayingaphansi kwekoloni yaseSpain. ISpain yahoxa ngemuva kokunyakaza okuphikelelayo kokumelana nenkululeko, nokho, iMorocco neMauritania zafuna ngokushesha ukulawula lesi sifunda esicebile ngezinsiza. Ngenkathi i-Mauritania ihoxisa isimangalo sayo, i-Morocco yahlasela amashumi ezinkulungwane zamasosha, izungezwe izinkulungwane zabantu ababezoba izifiki, futhi yaqala umsebenzi wayo osemthethweni ngo-Okthoba 1975. I-Spain igcina ukulawula kwezokuphatha futhi ingumamukeli ophambili wemithombo yemvelo yaseWestern Sahara.

Ngo-1991, iZizwe Ezihlangene zanxusa ukuba kube nenhlolovo lapho abantu baseWestern Sahara beyoba nelungelo lokuzinqumela ikusasa labo. (isinqumo se-UN 621)

I-Polisario Front, emele ezombangazwe yabantu baseSaharawi, yalwa neMorocco ngezikhathi ezithile kusukela ngo-1975 kwaze kwaba ngu-1991 lapho iNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene yenza isivumelwano sokuyeka ukulwa futhi Esungulwe I-United Nations Mission yeReferendum eNtshonalanga yeSahara (I-MINURSO.) Inhlolovo eyathenjiswa isikhathi eside ngokuzibusa ayizange ifezeke. Ekwindla ka-2020, ngemuva kwamashumi eminyaka ezithembiso ezephulwa, ukuqhubeka nokuhlala, kanye nochungechunge lokwephulwa kweMoroccan yokumisa umlilo, iPolisario yaqala kabusha impi.

Iwashi lamalungelo abantu liyabika ukuthi iziphathimandla zaseMoroccan sekuyisikhathi eside zisivalile isivalo esiqinile kunoma yimiphi imibhikisho yomphakathi emelene nokubusa kweMoroccan eNtshonalanga Sahara futhi ivuna ukuzibusa kwendawo. Banayo izishoshovu ezishaywe eziboshweni zazo nasemigwaqweni,waboshwa futhi wabagwebela phakathi ukuqulwa phansi konakaliswe ukwephulwa kwenqubo efanele, kuhlanganise nokuhlushwa, kwayivimbela inkululeko yawo yokuhamba, futhi yabalandela obala. Iziphathimandla zaseMorocco nazo wenqaba ukungena eNtshonalanga Sahara ezivakashini eziningi zakwamanye amazwe kule minyaka embalwa edlule, okuhlanganisa nezintatheli nabashisekeli bamalungelo abantu.

The 2021 Umbiko woMnyango Wesifunda Sase-US eNtshonalanga Sahara ithi “ukuntuleka kwemibiko yophenyo noma ukushushiswa kokuphulwa kwamalungelo abantu kwezikhulu zaseMorocco eNtshonalanga Sahara, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ophikweni lwezokuphepha noma kwenye indawo kuhulumeni, kwaba nesandla embonweni owandile wokungajeziswa.”

Ekuhlaselweni okunodlame ngo-2007, iso lakhe langakwesokudla lakhishwa i-ejenti yase-Morocco. Usephenduke uphawu lwesibindi kanye nomthombo wogqozi lokuzimela kweSaharawi.
