Amazwi kaNobhala Wezwe abukeka ekhombisa ukuguquguquka kwenqubomgomo yomnyango wezwe, phambilini ebidinga ubufakazi bokuthi iNorth Korea iyayiyeka izikhali zenuzi.
U-Rex Tillerson uthe i-US isikulungele ukuqala izingxoxo zokuhlola e-North Korea "ngaphandle kwemibandela", kodwa kuphela ngemva "kwesikhathi sokuthula" ngaphandle kokuhlolwa okusha kwe-nuclear noma imicibisholo.
Inkulumo kanobhala wezwe ibonakale ikhombisa ukuguquguquka kwenqubomgomo yomnyango kahulumeni, obekwenzeka phambilini idinga ukuthi iPyongyang ikhombise ukuthi “ingathi sína” ngokunikela ngezikhali zayo zenuzi ngaphambi kokuthi oxhumana nabo baqale. Futhi lolu limi lwalukude kakhulu nokuphawula okuphindaphindiwe kukaDonald Trump ukuthi oxhumana nabo abanjalo "bawukuchitha isikhathi".
UTillerson uphinde waveza ukuthi i-US ibikhuluma neChina ngokuthi izwe ngalinye lizokwenzani uma kuba nokungqubuzana noma ukuwa kombuso. e-North Korea, ethi abaphathi bakaTrump banikeze iBeijing iziqinisekiso zokuthi amasosha ase-US azobuyela emuva ku-parallel yama-38 ehlukanisa iNyakatho neNingizimu Korea, nokuthi okuwukuphela kwezinkinga ze-US kuzoba ukuvikela izikhali zenuzi zombuso.
Ekuqaleni kwaleli sonto kuvele lokho I-China yakha inethiwekhi yamakamu ababaleki emngceleni wayo ongamakhilomitha angama-880 (1,416km) neNorth Korea., ukulungiselela ufuduko olungase ludalwe izingxabano noma ukuwa kombuso kaKim Jong-un.
Ekhuluma e-Atlantic Council eWashington, u-Tillerson ukubeke kwacaca ukuthi umlayezo oya ePyongyang wawushintshile nokuthi umbuso waseNyakatho Korea kwakungadingeki uzinikele ekulahleni izikhali ngokugcwele ngaphambi kokuba izingxoxo eziqondile ziqale.
“Sikulungele ukukhuluma noma nini iNorth Korea ingathanda ukukhuluma. Sesikulungele ukuba nomhlangano wokuqala ngaphandle kwemibandela. Asihlangane nje,” kusho uTillerson. “Futhi-ke sesingaqala ukubeka umhlahlandlela… Akulona iqiniso ukuthi sizokhuluma kuphela uma uza etafuleni usulungele ukuyeka uhlelo lwakho. Batshale imali eningi kuyona.”
“Asihlanganeni sikhulume ngesimo sezulu,” kusho unobhala wombuso. “Uma ufuna futhi ukhulume ngokuthi kuzoba i-square table noma i-round table uma kuyilokho okujabulisile.”
Nokho, wabe esebeka umbandela owodwa nokuthi kufanele kube “nesikhathi sokuthula” okungaba ngaso izinkulumo zokuqala ezinjalo. Wakuveza njengokucatshangelwa okuwusizo.
“Kuzoba nzima ukukhuluma uma maphakathi nezingxoxo zethu uthatha isinqumo sokuhlola omunye umshini,” kusho yena. "Sidinga isikhathi sokuthula."
Ukuphawula kukaTillerson kufike ngesikhathi uKim Jong-un efunga ukuthi uzokwenza iNorth Korea ibe “ngamandla enuzi anamandla emhlabeni.
UKim utshele abasebenzi ngemuva kovivinyo lwakamuva lomcibisholo omusha ukuthi izwe lakhe "lizoqhubekela phambili ngokunqoba futhi ligxume njengamandla enuzi anamandla namandla ezempi emhlabeni," emcimbini obungoLwesibili, ngokusho kwesikhungo sezindaba sikahulumeni i-KCNA.
UDaryl Kimball, inhloko ye-Arms Control Association ezinze eWashington uthe i-US kuzofanele yenze izindlela zokwakha ukuzethemba ukuze kuqale izingxoxo ezinohlonze.
"Isiphakamiso sikanobhala uTillerson sokuxoxisana ngqo neNorth Korea ngaphandle kwemibandela sesedlulelwe yisikhathi futhi samukelekile," kusho uKimball. “Kodwa-ke, ukuze kufinyelelwe ezingxoxweni ezinjalo, uhlangothi lwaseMelika kanye neNorth Korea kumele zikhombise ukuzibamba. ENyakatho Korea, lokho kusho ukumiswa kwazo zonke izivivinyo zemicibisholo yenuzi neye-ballistic, kanye nase-United States, ukugwema ukuhamba kwezempi nokundiza okungaphezu kwamandla okubonakala kuwumkhuba wokuhlasela eNyakatho.
"Uma ukuzithiba okunjalo kungafiki, singalindela ukwanda okuqhubekayo kwezingxabano kanye nengozi ekhulayo yempi eyinhlekelele," engeza.
Izingxoxo ezingakahleleki phakathi kwezikhulu ze-US kanye neNorth Korea zenzeke kusukela uTrump athatha izintambo ngoJanuwari kodwa zinqanyuliwe kusukela iPyongyang yahlola i-thermonuclear warhead enamandla ekuqaleni kukaSepthemba.
Ngaphambilini uTillerson uke wabonakala engaboni ngaso linye noTrump ngezingxoxo noPyongyang: ngasekuqaleni konyaka, ngemuva nje kokuba unobhala wezwe ethe i-US izama ukuthola indlela yokuxazulula ukungezwani phakathi kwala mazwe womabili, uTrump wabhala ku-Twitter ukuthi inxusa lakhe eliphezulu kufanele "longe amandla akhe" njengoba "sizokwenza okufanele kwenziwe!”
“Ngishilo Rex Tillerson, Unobhala wethu Wezwe omangalisayo, ukuthi uchitha isikhathi sakhe ezama ukuxoxisana no-Little Rocket Man… …Londoloza amandla akho Rex, sizokwenza okufanele kwenziwe!” umongameli ubhale kuTwitter.
NgoLwesibili unobhala wezwe ukubeke kwacaca ukuthi ukuncishiswa kwezikhali zenuzi eNyakatho Korea kuzoba umgomo wokugcina wezingxoxo eziqinile. Uveze ukuthi ukuvimba akuyona inketho njengoba iNorth Korea empofu izofuna ukuthola imali ngokuthengisa izikhali zayo zenuzi emakethe emnyama.
UTillerson uthe izikhulu zaseMelika zibe nezingxoxo nozakwabo baseChina mayelana nendlela yokuqinisekisa ukuthi lezo zikhali azigcini “sezandleni ezingathandeki”. China wayenqabile izindlela ezifanayo zokuphatha kuka-Obama, kunokuba anikeze umbono wokuthi iBeijing yayizimisele ukucabanga ngokuwa kweNorth Korea.
“I-US sekuphele iminyaka izama ukukhuluma neChina mayelana nezimo zokungqubuzana ngaphandle kwempumelelo. Lokhu kuwuphawu olukhuthazayo lokuthi lezi zingxoxo sezithuthukile,” kusho u-Adam Mount, uchwepheshe weNorth Korea weFederation of American Scientists.
"AmaShayina asebenzisa ukusebenzisana ne-US ukukhombisa iPyongyang ukuthi icubungula ithuba lokuthi iNorth Korea ingawa, nokuthi kufanele ilinganise indlela eziphatha ngayo futhi akufanele iphume emgqeni."
