Kungani INingizimu Afrika Igcwele Emacaleni Wempi YaseTurkey?

NguTerry Crawford-Browne, Novemba 5, 2020

Yize ibalelwa ngaphansi kwephesenti elilodwa lokuhweba emhlabeni, ibhizinisi lezimpi kulinganiselwa ukuthi libala amaphesenti angama-40 kuye kwangama-45 enkohlakalo yomhlaba. Lesi silinganiso esingajwayelekile samaphesenti angama-40 kuye kwangama-45 sivela - kuzo zonke izindawo - iCentral Intelligence Agency (i-CIA) ngomnyango wezokuhweba wase-US.    

Inkohlakalo yokuhweba ngezikhali iya phezulu - eNkosana uCharles kanye neNkosana u-Andrew eNgilandi kanye nakuBill noHillary Clinton ngesikhathi enguNobhala Wezwe waseMelika ekuphathweni kuka-Obama. Kuhlanganisa futhi, ngaphandle kwedlanzana, ilungu ngalinye leKhongolose yase-US ngokunganaki iqembu lezepolitiki. UMongameli uDwight Eisenhower ngo-1961 waxwayisa ngemiphumela yalokho akubiza ngokuthi “inxanxathela yezempi-yezimboni nokhongolose.”

Ngaphansi kokuzenzisa “kokugcina iMelika iphephile,” kuchithwa amakhulu ezigidigidi zamaRandi ezikhalini ezingenamsebenzi. Ukuthi i-US ilahlekelwe yizo zonke izimpi ezilwile kusukela ngeMpi Yezwe Yesibili akusho lutho inqobo nje uma imali izongena ku-Lockheed Martin, uRaytheon, uBoeing nezinkulungwane zabanye osonkontileka bezikhali, kanye namabhange nezinkampani zikawoyela. 

Kusukela ngeMpi yase-Yom Kippur ngo-1973, uwoyela we-OPEC ubulokhu uthengiswa ngamadola aseMelika kuphela. Imithelela yomhlaba wonke yalokhu mikhulu. Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi umhlaba wonke uxhasa impi yase-US kanye nezinhlelo zamabhange, kodwa nezisekelo zezempi zase-US eziyinkulungwane emhlabeni jikelele - inhloso yazo kuwukuqinisekisa ukuthi i-US enamaphesenti amane kuphela abantu bomhlaba ingagcina amandla ezempi ase-US kanye nezezimali. . Lokhu kungu-21st ukwehluka kwekhulu leminyaka yobandlululo.

I-US yachitha ama-US $ 5.8 trillion ezikhalini zenuzi kusukela ngo-1940 kuze kube sekupheleni kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi ngo-1990 futhi manje ihlongoza ukusebenzisa enye i-US $ 1.2 trillion ukuze izenze zibe zesimanjemanje.  UDonald Trump wathi ngo-2016 "uzokhipha ixhaphozi" eWashington. Esikhundleni salokho, ngesikhathi sokubuka kwakhe umongameli, ixhaphozi seliphenduke i-cesspit, njengoba kuboniswa izingalo zakhe ezisebenzelana nama-despots aseSaudi Arabia, Israel kanye ne-UAE.

Njengamanje uJulian Assange uboshelwe ejele eliphephe kakhulu e-England. Ubhekene nokuphindiselwa e-US futhi aboshwe iminyaka engu-175 ngokudalula ubugebengu bempi yase-US neyaseBrithani e-Iraq, Afghanistan nakwamanye amazwe ngemuva kwe-9/11. Kungumfanekiso wezingozi zokuveza ukonakala kwebhizinisi lempi.   

Ngaphansi kokucasha “kokuphepha kwezwe,” i-20th ikhulu leminyaka laba eligcwele igazi eliningi emlandweni. Sitshelwa ukuthi lokho okuchazwa ngokungananazi ngokuthi “ukuvikela” kuwumshuwalense nje. Eqinisweni, ibhizinisi lempi lingaphezu kwamandla. 

Njengamanje umhlaba usebenzisa imali elinganiselwa ku-US$2 trillion minyaka yonke ngamalungiselelo empi. Inkohlakalo nokuhlukunyezwa kwamalungelo abantu cishe kuxhumene ngaso sonke isikhathi. Kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi “izwe lesithathu,” manje kunababaleki abaphelelwe yithemba abayizigidi ezingu-70 nabantu abangenamakhaya kuhlanganise nezizukulwane ezilahlekile zezingane. Uma lokho okubizwa ngokuthi “izwe lokuqala” lingabafuni ababaleki, kufanele kuyeke ukubhebhezela izimpi e-Asia, e-Afrika naseLatin America. Isixazululo silula.

Ngengxenyana yaleyo thriliyoni yama-US$2, umhlaba ungaxhasa izindleko zokulungisa ukuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu, ukuncishiswa kobumpofu, imfundo, ezempilo, amandla avuselelekayo kanye nezindaba eziphuthumayo ezihlobene "nokuphepha kwabantu". Ngikholwa ukuthi ukuqondisa kabusha ukusetshenziswa kwempi ngezinjongo ezikhiqizayo kufanele kube yinto ehamba phambili emhlabeni jikelele yenkathi yangemva kwe-Covid.

Eminyakeni eyikhulu edlule ngokugqashuka kweMpi Yezwe Yokuqala ngo-1914, uWinston Churchill wabeka eqhulwini ukuhlukana koMbuso Wase-Ottoman, owawuhlangene neJalimane. Uwoyela wawutholwe ePheresiya (Iran) ngo-1908 lapho uhulumeni wamaNgisi wawuzimisele ukuwulawula. AbaseBrithani babezimisele ngokufanayo ukuvimba iJalimane ekutholeni ithonya eMesopotamia (Iraq) engumakhelwane, lapho uwoyela nawo wawutholakele kodwa wawungakasetshenziswa.

Izingxoxo zokuthula zangemva kwempi yaseVersailles kanye neSivumelwano Sango-1920 saseSevres phakathi kweBrithani, iFrance neTurkey zazihlanganisa ukuqashelwa kwezidingo zamaKurd zezwe elizimele. Imephu imise imingcele yesikhashana ye-Kurdistan ukuthi ifake izindawo ezihlala abantu baseKurdish e-Anatolia empumalanga yeTurkey, enyakatho ye-Syria nase-Mesopotamia kanye nezindawo ezisentshonalanga ye-Persia.

Eminyakeni emithathu nje kamuva, iBrithani yazishiya lezo zibopho zokuzibusa kwamaKurd. Ukugxila kwayo ekuxoxisaneni ngeSivumelwano saseLausanne kwakuwukuhlanganisa iTurkey yangemva kwe-Ottoman njengesivikelo ngokumelene neSoviet Union yamakhomanisi. 

Esinye isizathu sasiwukuthi ukufaka amaKurds e-Iraq esanda kwakhiwa kungasiza futhi ukulinganisa ukubusa ngamanani kwamaShia. Izinhloso zaseBrithani zokuphanga uwoyela waseMpumalanga Ephakathi zathatha indawo yokuqala kunezifiso zamaKurd. NjengamaPalestine, amaKurds aba yizisulu ze-British perfidy kanye nobuzenzisi bezombusazwe.

Maphakathi nawo-1930, ibhizinisi lempi lalilungiselela iMpi Yezwe Yesibili. I-Rheinmetall yasungulwa ngo-1889 ukuze yenze izinhlamvu zoMbuso WaseJalimane, futhi yandiswa kakhulu ngesikhathi samaNazi lapho izinkulungwane zezigqila zamaJuda ziphoqeleka ukuba zisebenze futhi zafa emafekthri ezinhlamvu e-Rheinmetall eJalimane nasePoland.  Naphezu kwalowo mlando, i-Rheinmetall yavunyelwa ukuthi iphinde iqale ukwenza izikhali ngo-1956.  

ITurkey isibe yilungu le-NATO elisendaweni ekahle. UChurchill wayenezinkinga lapho iphalamende lentando yeningi lase-Iran livota ukuthi uwoyela wase-Irani ube ngaphansi kukahulumeni. Ngosizo lwe-CIA, uNdunankulu u-Mohammad Mossadegh wasuswa esikhundleni ngo-1953. I-Iran yaba eyokuqala ye-CIA kwezehlakalo ezingaba ngu-80 "zokushintsha kombuso," futhi u-Shah waba umqophi waseMelika eMpumalanga Ephakathi.  Imiphumela isakithi.  

UMkhandlu Wezokuphepha WeNhlangano Yezizwe ngo-1977 wanquma ukuthi ubandlululo eNingizimu Afrika lwaluyingozi ekuthuleni nasekuvikelekeni kwamazwe ngamazwe, futhi lwabeka umthetho wokuvinjelwa kwezikhali okuyimpoqo. Ukuphendula, uhulumeni wobandlululo wasebenzisa amakhulu ezigidigidi zamarandi ekugwemeni unswinyo.  

I-Israel, iBrithani, iFrance, i-US kanye namanye amazwe akweqa lo mthetho. Yonke leyo mali eyasetshenziswa ekuthengeni izikhali kanye nezimpi e-Angola yehluleka kabi ukuvikela ubandlululo kodwa, okuxakayo, yasheshisa ukuwa kwayo ngomkhankaso wezijeziso zamabhange omhlaba. 

Ngokusekelwa yi-CIA, I-International Signal Corporation inikeze iNingizimu Afrika ubuchwepheshe besimanje bemicibisholo. I-Israel inikeze ubuchwepheshe bezikhali zenuzi nama-drones. Ngokuphula kokubili imithetho yaseJalimane yokuthekelisa izikhali kanye nokuvimbela izikhali kwe-UN, i-Rheinmetall ngo-1979 yathumela yonke imboni yezinhlamvu e-Boskop ngaphandle kwase-Potchefstroom. 

Uguquko lwase-Iran ngo-1979 lwaketula umbuso ka-Shah wobushiqela. Eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-40 kamuva ohulumeni baseMelika abalandelanayo basadidekile nge-Iran, futhi basahlose "ukushintsha umbuso." Ukuphatha kukaReagan kwaqala impi yeminyaka eyisishiyagalombili phakathi kwe-Iraq ne-Iran ngeminyaka yawo-1980s emzamweni wokuhlehlisa uguquko lwase-Iran. 

I-US iphinde yakhuthaza amazwe amaningi - okuhlanganisa iNingizimu Afrika neJalimane - ukuthi ahlinzekele izikhali eziningi e-Iraq kaSaddam Hussein. Ngale njongo, uFerrostaal waba umxhumanisi wenhlangano yezempi yaseJalimane ehlanganisa iSalzgitter, MAN, Mercedes Benz, Siemens, Thyssens, Rheinmetall nezinye ukuze yenze yonke into e-Iraq kusukela kumanyolo wezolimo kuya kuphethiloli werokhethi, nezikhali zamakhemikhali.

Ngaleso sikhathi, ifekthri i-Rheinmetall e-Boskop yayisebenza ubusuku nemini ihlinzeka ngamagobolondo ezikhali zaseNingizimu Afrika ezikhiqiza futhi zathumela ngaphandle kwezikhali ze-G5. Izikhali ze-Armscor ze-G5 ekuqaleni zaklanywa i-Canadian, u-Gerald Bull futhi zazihloselwe ukuletha izikhali zenuzi endaweni yempi noma, esikhundleni salokho, izikhali zamakhemikhali. 

Ngaphambi koguquko, i-Iran yayihlinzeke ngamaphesenti angama-90 ezidingo zikawoyela eNingizimu Afrika kodwa lezi zimpahla zanqanyulwa ngo-1979. I-Iraq yakhokhela izikhali zaseNingizimu Afrika ngowoyela owawudingeka kakhulu. Lokho kuhwebelana ngezikhali ngowoyela phakathi kweNingizimu Afrika ne-Iraq kwafinyelela ku-US$4.5 billion.

Ngosizo lwangaphandle (okuhlanganisa neNingizimu Afrika), i-Iraq ngo-1987 yayisisungule uhlelo lwayo lokuthuthukisa imicibisholo futhi yayingaqhumisa imicibisholo ekwazi ukufinyelela eTehran. Ama-Iraqi asebenzise izikhali zamakhemikhali ngokumelene nama-Irani kusukela ngo-1983, kodwa ngo-1988 azidedela ngokumelene namaKurdish-Iraqis uSaddam awasola ngokusebenzisana nama-Irani. U-Timmerman uyabhala:

“Ngo-March 1988 amagquma amangelengele azungeze idolobhana lamaKurd iHalabja enanela nemisindo yokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu. Iqembu lezintatheli lasuka laqonda eHalabja. Emigwaqweni yaseHalabja, ngezikhathi ezijwayelekile eyayibala izakhamuzi ezingu-70 000, zazigcwele izidumbu zezakhamuzi ezivamile ezabanjwa njengoba zizama ukubalekela isishayo esithile esibi.

Babefakwe igesi ngenhlanganisela ye-hydrogen ama-Iraqis ayethuthukiswe ngosizo lwenkampani yaseJalimane. Into entsha ebulala abantu, eyenziwa emisebenzini yegesi yaseSamara, yayifana negesi enobuthi amaNazi ayeyisebenzisa ukuze aqothule amaJuda eminyakeni engaphezu kuka-40 ngaphambili.”

Ukucasuka komhlaba wonke, okuhlanganisa ne-US Congress, kwasiza ukuqeda leyo mpi. Intatheli yeWashington Post, uPatrick Tyler owavakashela eHalabja ngemva nje kokuhlasela walinganisela ukuthi izakhamuzi zaseKurd eziyizinkulungwane ezinhlanu zishonile. Impendulo ivela ku- Tyler:

“Ukuphothulwa komncintiswano weminyaka eyisishiyagalombili akuzange kulethe ukuthula eMpumalanga Ephakathi. I-Iran, njengeJalimane ehluliwe eVersailles, yayinezikhalo eziningi ezibhekiswe kuSaddam, ama-Arab, uRonald Reagan, kanye naseNtshonalanga. I-Iraq yaqeda impi njengezwe elinamandla esifunda elihlome ngeso lengqondo elingenamkhawulo. " 

Ilinganiselwa ku-182 000 amaKurds ase-Iraqi afa ngesikhathi kubusa u-Saddam. Ngemva kokufa kwakhe, izindawo zamaKurd ezisenyakatho ye-Iraq zazizimele kodwa azizimele. AmaKurds ase-Iraq naseSyria kamuva aba yizisulu ze-ISIS, empeleni, ezazihlome ngezikhali zase-US ezebiwe.  Esikhundleni samabutho ase-Iraqi nase-US, kwakuyi-Kurdish peshmerga eyagcina inqobe i-ISIS.

Uma kubhekwa umlando oyihlazo kaRheinmetall ngesikhathi samaNazi, ukweqa umthetho we-UN wezikhali kanye nokubamba iqhaza kwawo e-Iraq kaSaddam, kusengachazeki ukuthi uhulumeni waseNingizimu Afrika wangemva kobandlululo ngo-2008 wavumela iRheinmetall ukuthi ithathe amaphesenti angama-51 amasheya okulawula eDenel Munitions, manje eyaziwa ngokuthi yiDenel Munitions. I-Rheinmetall Denel Munitions (RDM).

I-RDM izinze embonini ye-Armscor yangaphambili i-Somchem endaweni yase-Macassar e-Somerset West, ezinye izitshalo zayo ezintathu ezise-Boskop, e-Boksburg nase-Wellington. Njengoba idokhumenti ye-Rheinmetall Defence - Markets and Strategy, 2016 yembula, i-Rheinmetall ibeka ngamabomu umkhiqizo wayo ngaphandle kwaseJalimane ukuze yeqe imithetho yaseJalimane yokuthekelisa izikhali.

Esikhundleni sokuhlinzeka ngezidingo zeNingizimu Afrika “zokuvikela”, cishe amaphesenti angama-85 omkhiqizo we-RDM owokuhwebelana ngaphandle. Ukulalelwa kwecala kwiKhomishini kaZondo yophenyo sekuqinisekisile ukuthi uDenel ungomunye walabo ababebhekwe ngabomvu ngamatulo okuthumba amaGupta Brothers. 

Ngaphezu kokuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe kwezikhali, i-RDM iklama futhi ifake izimboni zezinhlamvu kwamanye amazwe, ikakhulukazi okuhlanganisa i-Saudi Arabia ne-Egypt, zombili ezidume kabi ngonya lwamalungelo abantu. I-Defenceweb ngo-2016 ibike:

“I-Military Industries Corporation yaseSaudi Arabia ivule imboni yezikhali eyakhiwe ngokubambisana neRheinmetall Denel Munitions emcimbini obuhanjelwe nguMengameli Jacob Zuma.

UZuma waya eSaudi Arabia ngokuvakasha kosuku olulodwa ngomhla zingama-27 kuNdasa, ngokusho kweSaudi Press Agency, ebike ukuthi uvule ifemu kanye nePhini likaMntwana uMntwana uMohammed bin Salman.

Isikhungo esisha e-al-Kharj (77 kms eningizimu ye-Riyadh) siyakwazi ukukhiqiza udaka lwe-60, 81 kanye ne-120 mm, amagobolondo ezikhali eziyi-105 kanye ne-155mm namabhomu ezindiza anesisindo esisuka ku-500 kuya ku-2000 wamaphawundi. Lesi sikhungo kulindeleke ukuthi sikhiqize amagobolondo angama-300 noma imizuliswano yodaka engu-600 ngosuku.

Lesi sikhungo sisebenza ngaphansi kweSaudi Arabian Military Industries Corporation kodwa sakhiwe ngosizo lwenkampani yaseNingizimu Afrika iRheinmetall Denel Munitions, ekhokhelwe imali elinganiselwa ku-US$240 million ngomsebenzi wayo.”

Kulandela ukungenelela kwamasosha aseSaudi kanye ne-UAE ngo-2015, iYemen ihlangabezane nenhlekelele embi kakhulu emhlabeni. Imibiko yeHuman Rights Watch yango-2018 nango-2019 yathi ngokomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe amazwe aqhubeka nokuhlinzeka ngezikhali eSaudi Arabia anesandla emacaleni empi.

Isigaba se-15 soMthetho Kazwelonke Wokulawulwa Kwezikhali Ezivumelanayo sibeka ukuthi iNingizimu Afrika ngeke ithumele izikhali emazweni ahlukumeza amalungelo abantu, ezifundeni ezinezingxabano, nasemazweni avinjelwe izikhali emhlabeni wonke. Ngokudabukisayo, lezo zimiso aziphoqelelwa. 

ISaudi Arabia kanye ne-UAE bekungamakhasimende amakhulu e-RDM kwaze kwaba yilapho intukuthelo yomhlaba wonke yokubulawa kwentatheli yaseSaudi uJamal Khashoggi ngo-Okthoba 2019 yagcina idale ukuthi i-NCACC "imise" lokho kuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe. Kubukeka sengathi ayinandaba nokuhlangana kwayo namacala empi aseSaudi/UAE eYemen kanye nenkinga yokusiza abantu lapho, i-RDM yakhalaza ngokunganaki ngemisebenzi elahlekile eNingizimu Afrika.  

Ngokuhambisana naleyo ntuthuko, uhulumeni waseJalimane wenqabela ukuthunyelwa kwezikhali eTurkey. ITurkey ibandakanyeka ezimpini zaseSyria naseLibya kodwa futhi nasekuhlukunyezweni kwamalungelo abantu abantu baseKurdish baseTurkey, Syria, Iraq nase-Iran. Ngokwephula i-UN Charter kanye nezinye izisetshenziswa zomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe, iTurkey ngo-2018 yayihlasele i-Afrin ezindaweni zamaKurdish enyakatho yeSyria. 

Ikakhulukazi, amaJalimane ayekhathazekile ngokuthi izikhali zaseJalimane zingasetshenziswa ngokumelene nemiphakathi yamaKurdish eSiriya. Ngaphandle kwentukuthelo yomhlaba wonke ehlanganisa ngisho neCongress yaseMelika, uMongameli uTrump ngo-Okthoba 2019 wanika iTurkey imvume yokuthatha iNyakatho yeSyria. Nomaphi lapho behlala khona, uhulumeni wamanje waseTurkey ubheka wonke amaKurds "njengamaphekula." 

Umphakathi wamaKurd eTurkey wakha cishe amaphesenti angama-20 abantu. Njengoba inabantu abalinganiselwa ezigidini ezingu-15, iyisizwe esikhulu kunazo zonke ezweni. Nokho ulimi lwesiKurdish lusacindezelwa, futhi izakhiwo zesiKurd ziye zathathwa. Izinkulungwane zamaKurds kubikwa ukuthi eminyakeni yamuva nje zibulewe ezimpini namasosha aseTurkey. UMengameli u-Erdogan ubonakala enezifiso zokuzibonakalisa njengomholi waseMpumalanga Ephakathi nangale kwayo.

Engixhumana nabo e-Macassar bangixwayise ngo-Ephreli 2020 ukuthi i-RDM yayimatasa kunkontileka enkulu yokuthumela yaseTurkey. Ukuze kunxeshezelwe ukumiswa kokuthunyelwa kwempahla e-Saudi Arabia nase-UAE kodwa futhi nokungahambisani nomthetho waseJalimane, i-RDM yayihlinzeka ngezikhali eTurkey zisuka eNingizimu Afrika.

Uma kubhekwa izibopho ze-NCACC, ngazisa uNgqongqoshe uJackson Mthembu, uNgqongqoshe eHhovisi likaMongameli, kanye noNgqongqoshe uNaledi Pandor, uNgqongqoshe Wezobudlelwano Bamazwe Ngamazwe Nokubambisana. UMthembu noPandor, ngokulandelana, bangusihlalo kanye nesekela likasihlalo we-NCACC. Ngaphandle kokuvalwa kwezindiza ngenxa ye-Covid-19, izindiza eziyisithupha zendiza yaseTurkey i-A400M zafika esikhumulweni sezindiza saseKapa phakathi kuka-Ephreli 30 noMeyi 4 ukuze kuthuthukiswe izikhali ze-RDM. 

Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kamuva, iTurkey yethula ukuhlasela kwayo eLibya. ITurkey nayo ibihlomisa i-Azerbaijan, okumanje ibambene ne-Armenia. Imibhalo eshicilelwe ephephandabeni i-Daily Maverick kanye ne-Independent Newspapers yenze imibuzo ePhalamende, lapho uMthembu eqale wamemezela ukuthi:

"Bengingazi ngezinkinga ezihlobene neTurkey ezaziphakanyiswe ku-NCACC, ngakho-ke baqhubeka nokuzinikela ekugunyazeni izikhali ezaziyalelwe ngokusemthethweni yinoma yimuphi uhulumeni osemthethweni. Kodwa-ke, uma izikhali zaseNingizimu Afrika kubikwa nganoma iyiphi indlela ukuthi ziseSyria noma eLibya, kungaba kuhle ukuthi izwe liphenye lithole ukuthi zifike kanjani lapho, nokuthi ubani ophambanise noma odukise iNCACC.”

Ezinsukwini kamuva, uNgqongqoshe Wezokuvikela Nomakadebona Bezempi, uNosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula ukuthi i-NCACC eholwa nguMthembu ikuvumile ukudayiselwa iTurkey, futhi:

“Azikho izithiyo emthethweni zokuhwebelana neTurkey ngokwesenzo sethu. Ngokwezinhlinzeko zomthetho, kuhlala kunokuhlaziya nokucatshangelwa ngokucophelela ngaphambi kokunikeza imvume. Okwamanje akukho okusivimbelayo ekuhwebeni neTurkey. Akukho ngisho nokuvinjelwa kwezikhali.”

Incazelo yenxusa laseTurkey yokuthi izikhali zazizosetshenziselwa ukuzilolonga nje ayinakukholelwa ngokuphelele. Kusolwa ngokusobala ukuthi izikhali ze-RDM zasetshenziswa eLibya ngesikhathi iTurkey ihlasela iHaftar, futhi mhlawumbe namaKurds aseSyria. Kusukela lapho ngike ngacela izincazelo kaningi, kodwa kuthulekile ehhovisi likaMengameli kanye ne-DIRCO. Uma kubhekwa inkohlakalo ehambisana nehlazo lokudayiswa kwezikhali eNingizimu Afrika kanye nokuhwebelana ngezikhali nje, umbuzo osobala usamile: yiziphi izifumbathiso ezazikhokhwa ngobani futhi kubani ukugunyaza lezo zindiza? Khonamanjalo, kunamahlebezi kubasebenzi be-RDM okuthi i-Rheinmetall ihlela ukuvala ngoba manje isivinjiwe ukuthi ithumele eMpumalanga Ephakathi.  

Njengoba iJalimane ivimbe ukudayiswa kwezikhali eTurkey, iBundestag yaseJalimane ngokubambisana ne-UN ihlele izithangami zomphakathi ngonyaka ozayo ukuze kuphenywe ukuthi izinkampani zaseJalimane ezifana neRheinmetall ziyidlula kanjani ngamabomu imithetho yokuthunyelwa kwezikhali yaseJalimane ngokuthola umkhiqizo emazweni anjengeNingizimu Afrika lapho umthetho ubuthakathaka.

Ngenkathi uNobhala-Jikelele we-UN u-António Guterres ngoMashi 2020 ethi makuqedwe i-Covid, iNingizimu Afrika yayingomunye wabasekeli bakhe bokuqala. Lezo zindiza eziyisithupha ze-Turkish A400M ngoMbasa nangoMeyi zigqamisa ubuzenzisi obusobala nobuphindiwe phakathi kokuzibophezela kweNingizimu Afrika kwezobunxusa nezomthetho kanye namaqiniso.  

Futhi ekhombisa ukungqubuzana okunjalo, u-Ebrahim Ebrahim, owayeyiPhini likaNgqongqoshe we-DIRCO, kule mpelasonto edlule ukhiphe i-video ethi makakhululwe ngokushesha umholi wamaKurd u-Abdullah Ocalan, ngezinye izikhathi obizwa “ngoMandela waseMpumalanga Ephakathi.”

UMongameli Nelson Mandela ngokusobala wanikeza indawo yokukhosela yezepolitiki e-Ocalan eNingizimu Afrika. Ngesikhathi eseKenya esendleleni eya eNingizimu Afrika, u-Ocalan wathunjwa ngo-1999 ngamanxusa aseTurkey ngosizo lweCIA kanye ne-Israel Mossad, futhi manje uboshwe udilikajele eTurkey. Singacabanga ukuthi u-Ebrahim ugunyazwe uNgqongqoshe kanye neHhovisi likaMongameli ukuthi akhiphe leyo vidiyo?

Emasontweni amabili edlule sikhumbula i-75th Isikhumbuzo se-UN, uGuterres uphinde wathi:

“Asihlanganeni sifeze umbono wethu ofanayo womhlaba ongcono onokuthula nesithunzi sabo bonke abantu. Manje yisikhathi sokukhuphuka komfutho wokuthula ukuze kufinyelelwe ekuqedweni kwezikhali emhlabeni wonke. Iwashi liyahamba. 

Manje yisikhathi somkhankaso omusha wokuthula nokubuyisana. Ngakho-ke nginxusa ukuthi kukhuliswe umzamo wamazwe ngamazwe - oholwa uMkhandlu Wezokuphepha - ukuze kufinyelelwe isivumelwano sokuyeka ukulwa emhlabeni wonke ngaphambi kokuphela konyaka.

Umhlaba udinga ukumiswa kwempi emhlabeni wonke ukuze kumiswe zonke izingxabano “ezishisayo”. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kufanele senze konke ukugwema iMpi Yomshoshaphansi entsha. "

INingizimu Afrika izoba ngusihlalo woMkhandlu Wezokuphepha we-UN ngenyanga kaZibandlela. Ihlinzeka ngethuba eliyingqayizivele ngeNingizimu Afrika esikhathini esingemva kweCovid-XNUMX ukusekela umbono kaNobhala Jikelele, kanye nokulungisa ukwehluleka kwenqubomgomo yamazwe angaphandle esikhathini esidlule. Inkohlakalo, izimpi kanye nemiphumela yazo manje isifana nokuthi iplanethi yethu ineminyaka eyishumi kuphela yokuguqula ikusasa lesintu. Izimpi zingenye yezinto ezinomthelela omkhulu ekukhuphukeni kokufudumala kwembulunga yonke.

UMbhishobhi Omkhulu uTutu kanye nababhishobhi beBandla laseSheshi emuva ngo-1994 bacela ukwenqatshelwa okuphelele kokuthunyelwa kwezikhali emazweni angaphandle, kanye nokuguqulwa kwemboni yezikhali yaseNingizimu Afrika yenkathi yobandlululo ibe yizinjongo zokukhiqiza umphakathi. Naphezu kwamashumi ezigidigidi zamarandi atheleke ngomsele eminyakeni engama-26 edlule, i-Denel ayinakho ukuhlengwa futhi kufanele iqedwe ngokushesha. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ukuzibophezela ku-a world beyond war manje kubalulekile.
