I-COP27 isanda kuphela futhi ngenkathi i- isivumelwano sokuthuthukisa isikhwama sokulahlekelwa kanye nomonakalo kuwukunqoba kwangempela kwezizwe ezisengozini kakade esezicekelwe phansi ngenxa yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, izingxoxo zesimo sezulu ze-UN ziphinde zehluleka ukubhekana nomsuka wale mithelela: ukukhiqizwa kukaphethiloli wezinsalela ezimbiwa phansi.
Thina, abesifazane base-Afrika abaphambili, sinovalo lokuthi ukwanda kwamafutha, amalahle, futhi ikakhulukazi igesi kuzokhiqiza kuphela ukungalingani okungokomlando, impi, namaphethini empi. Kwethulwa njengamathuluzi entuthuko abalulekile ezwekazi lase-Afrika kanye nomhlaba wonke, izinto zokubasa ezimbiwa phansi zibonise eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-50 yokuxhashazwa ukuthi ziyizikhali zokucekela phansi okukhulu. Ukuphishekela kwabo ngokuhlelekile kulandela iphethini enodlame: ukwabiwa komhlaba onothile ngezinsiza, ukuxhashazwa kwalezo zinsiza, bese kuthi lezo zinsiza zithekeliswe ngamazwe acebile nezinkampani, kulimaza abantu bendawo, indlela yabo yokuziphilisa, amasiko abo kanye, yebo, labo abacebile. isimo sezulu.
Kwabesifazane, imithelela kaphethiloli wezinsalela ezimbi kakhulu iyingozi kakhulu. Ubufakazi nokuhlangenwe nakho kwethu kubonisa ukuthi abesifazane namantombazane baphakathi kwalabo kuthinteke ngokungafanele ngokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. ECameroon, lapho ingxabano isuka khona ukufinyelela okungalingani emithonjeni yamafutha ezinsalela ezimbiwa phansi, sibone uhulumeni ephendula ngokutshalwa kwezimali okwandisiwe kwezempi nezokuphepha. Lokhu mnyakazo kune ukwanda kodlame olusekelwe ebulilini kanye nokuxoshwa kwabantu ezindaweni zabo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuye kwaphoqelela abesifazane ukuba baxoxisane ngokufinyelela ezinsizeni eziyisisekelo, izindlu, nokuqashwa; ukuthatha indima yokuba umzali oyedwa; futhi sihlele ukunakekela nokuvikela imiphakathi yethu. Izibaso ezimbiwa phansi zisho amathemba ashabalala kwabesifazane base-Afrika kanye nezwekazi lonke.
Njengoba ukuhlasela kweRussia e-Ukraine sekukhombisile, umthelela wezempi ophehla amandla ngamafutha ezinto ezimbiwa phansi kanye nempi unemiphumela yomhlaba wonke, okuhlanganisa futhi ikakhulukazi ezwenikazi lase-Afrika. Izingxabano ezihlomile ngakolunye uhlangothi lomhlaba ziye ukutholakala kokudla okusongelayo kanye nokuzinza emazweni ase-Afrika. Impi e-Ukraine nayo ibe nomthelela ezweni ukwanda okukhulu kokukhishwa kwesisi esibamba ukushisa, okuqhubekisela phambili ukusheshisa inkinga yesimo sezulu, ethinta ngokungafanele izwekazi lethu. Awekho amathuba okumisa ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu ngaphandle kokuhlehlisa impi kanye nezingxabano ezihlomile eziwumphumela.
Ngokufanayo, Umjaho waseYurophu wegesi e-Afrika njengomphumela wokuhlasela kweRussia i-Ukraine kuyizaba ezintsha zokwandisa ukukhiqizwa kwegesi ezwenikazi. Lapho bebhekene nalesi sihlava, abaholi base-Afrika kumele bagcine i-CHA eqinile ukuze kuvikelwe abantu base-Afrika, ikakhulukazi abesifazane futhi, ekuhluphekeni okungapheli kodlame. Ukusuka eSenegal kuya eMozambique, ukutshalwa kwezimali kweJalimane neFrance kumaphrojekthi noma ingqalasizinda yegesi ewuketshezi (LNG) kuzoqeda noma yikuphi okungenzeka ukuthi i-Afrika yakhe ikusasa elingenawo uphethiloli.
Lesi yisikhathi esibucayi kubuholi base-Afrika, ikakhulukazi ubuholi bezinhlangano zokuthula zabesifazane base-Afrika, ekugcineni bayeke ukuphindaphinda amaphethini okuxhashazwa, impi, nempi, nokusebenzela ukuphepha kwangempela. Ukuvikeleka akulutho futhi akulutho njengokusindisa iplanethi ekubhujisweni. Ukwenza sengathi ngenye indlela kuwukuqinisekisa ukubhujiswa kwethu.
Ngokusekelwe emsebenzini wethu wezinhlangano zokuthula zabesifazane, siyazi ukuthi abesifazane, amantombazane, neminye imiphakathi enganakiwe inolwazi oluyingqayizivele nezixazululo zokuzivumelanisa nezimo zemvelo ezishintshayo kanye nokwakha ezinye izindlela ezisimeme ezisekelwe ebunyeni, ekulinganeni nasekunakekeleni.
Ngosuku lwesibili lwezingxoxo ze-UN ye-COP27, izwe eliyisiqhingi saseNingizimu Pacific iTuvalu laba izwe lesibili ukubiza umhlangano. Isivumelwano Sokungabhebhetheki Kwezibaseli Zazinsalela, ijoyina umakhelwane wayo iVanuatu. Njengezishoshovu zokuthula zabesifazane, lokhu sikubona njengobizo oluyingqophamlando okumele luzwakale ngaphakathi kwenkundla yezingxoxo zesimo sezulu nangale kwayo. Ngoba kubeka imiphakathi ethintwe kakhulu yinkinga yesimo sezulu kanye namafutha ezinto ezimbiwa phansi ayidalayo - okuhlanganisa nabesifazane - enhliziyweni yesiphakamiso sesivumelwano. Lesi sivumelwano siyithuluzi lesimo sezulu eliphendula ubulili elingaletha uguquko olunobulungiswa emhlabeni wonke, oluzokwenziwa imiphakathi namazwe asengozini enkulu futhi angenawo umthwalo wemfanelo wesimo sezulu.
Isivumelwano samazwe ngamazwe esinjalo sisekelwe izinsika ezintathu ezibalulekile: Izomisa wonke uwoyela omusha, igesi, kanye nokukhiqizwa kwamalahle; ukuqeda ukukhiqizwa kukaphethiloli okhona - nezizwe ezicebe kakhulu nabangcolisi bomlando abakhulu abahamba phambili; futhi sisekele inguquko enobulungiswa nenokuthula emithonjeni yamandla avuselelekayo ngokuphelele kuyilapho kunakekelwa abasebenzi kanye nemiphakathi ethintekile embonini kaphethiloli wezinsalela ezimbiwa phansi.
I-Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty izoqeda udlame olubangelwa uphethiloli olubhekiswe kwabesifazane, imithombo yemvelo, nesimo sezulu. Kuyindlela entsha enesibindi engavumela izwekazi lase-Afrika ukuthi liyeke ukwandisa ubandlululo lwamandla, lisebenzise amandla alo amakhulu avuselelekayo, futhi linikeze ukufinyelela kumandla esimeme kubantu base-Afrika abayizigidi ezingama-600 abasawaswele, kucatshangelwa amalungelo abantu kanye nemibono yobulili.
I-COP27 isiphelile kodwa ithuba lokuzibophezela ekusaseni elinempilo nelinokuthula alikho. Ungasijoyina?
