IMelika igxeka izinhlangothi ezilwayo eSudan
IMelika ngoLwesithathu inqume ngokusemthethweni ukuthi amaqembu alwayo eSudan enze amacala ezimpi, kusho uNobhala Wezwe u-Antony Blinken, njengoba iWashington inyusa ingcindezi embuthweni wamasosha kanye nabe-Rapid Support Forces (RSF) ukuthi baqede ukulwa okudale inkinga kubantu.
IWashington iphinde yanquma ukuthi i-RSF kanye namasosha ahlangene enze ubugebengu obubhekiswe esintwini nokuqotha ngobuhlanga, kusho uBlinken esitatimendeni. Le mpi, equbuke maphakathi neyaMbasa, isisuse abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi eziyisi-6.5 ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwaseSudan, yabulala abangaphezu kwezi-10,000 futhi yacekela phansi umnotho.
“Ukwanda kwezingxabano ezingenasidingo phakathi kwe-RSF kanye ne-SAF kubangele ukuhlupheka kwabantu,” kusho uBlinken, ekhuluma ngeSudan Armed Forces (SAF). Unxuse amaqembu ukuthi “amise le ngxabano manje, athobele izibopho zawo ngaphansi komthetho wamazwe omhlaba wobuntu kanye namalungelo abantu, futhi athwese icala labo abenza izenzo zonya.”
I-RSF isolwe ngokuhola isibhicongo sokuqothwa kohlanga oluthize eNtshonalanga Darfur, kanti enhloko-dolobha yaseKhartoum izakhamuzi zisole umbutho wamasosha ngokuphanga, ukudlwengula kanye nokubopha izakhamuzi.
“Abohlanga lwama-Masalit bayazingelwa bashiywa izimo zabo zempilo zimazonzo emigwaqeni, imizi yabo iyashiswa, batshelwa ukuthi ayikho indawo yabo eSudan,” kusho uBlinken. AmaMasalit ayisizwe esingewona ama-Arab.
Khonamanjalo, umbutho wezempi wenze umkhankaso onamandla wokuhlasela kwezindiza kanye nezikhali ezindaweni ezihlala abantu, lapho i-RSF ihlala khona, ochwepheshe abathi kungase kube ukwephulwa komthetho wamazwe ngamazwe.
“Iziboshwa ziyahlukunyezwa ezinye zibulawe emajele eSAF nawe RSF,” kusho uBlinken.
Ukuzimisela okusemthethweni kulandela inqubo yezomthetho enemininingwane eminingi nokuhlaziya okuholwa uMnyango Wezwe LaseMelika kodwa akuzi ngokuzenzakalelayo nezenzo zokujezisa ngakho akunayo imiphumela esheshayo kwabathintekayo.
Lesi sinqumo siza ngemuva kokuthi izingxoxo zaseSaudi nezaseMelika okuhloswe ngazo ukumisa ukulwa phakathi kwamaqembu alwayo aseSudan ziphinde zantengantenga, futhi amasosha ezwe kanye neRSF baqhubekile nemikhankaso yezempi.
Umbiko oyisipesheli wangoMandulo wembula ukuthi i-RSF kanye nabalingani bayo bawuqhuba kanjani umkhankaso wokubulala owathatha amasonto wonke ngokumelene nesizwe samaMasalit, okuhlanganisa nokudutshulwa kwezingane, ukushiswa kwabantu ezindlini zabo, nokudlwengulwa kwabesifazane namantombazane.
Ekuqaleni kukaLwezi, amasosha e-RSF kanye nama-Arab enza esinye isigameko sokubulalana kwezinhlanga e-El Geneina, lapho abasindile batshela abeReuters ukuthi amadoda aseMasalit aqoqwa adutshulwa, kanti amanye agencwa abulawa ngezimbazo nocelemba.
IMelika icindezela izinhlangothi ezilwayo
IMelika seyifake unswinyo oluningi ngemuva kokuqubuka kwempi phakathi kwamasosha kanye ne-RSF ngoMbasa mayelana nezinhlelo zoguquko lwezepolitiki kanye nokuhlanganiswa kwe-RSF ebuthweni, eminyakeni emine ngemuva kokuketulwa kowayebusa lelizwe u-Omar al-Bashir.
Phakathi kwalabo okuhloswe ngabo kubalwa isekela lomholi we-RSF, owayeyizikhulu zaseSudan kanye nezinkampani uWashington asole ngazo ngokubhebhethekisa ingxabano.
Kodwa iWashington kuze kube manje ayikaqondi amasosha kanye ne-RSF ngqo ngezijeziso, naphezu kwezingcingo ezivela ezishoshovu zamalungelo abantu zokuthi iqoke amaqembu futhi inqume ukuthi ukubulawa kohlanga kwenziwe eDarfur.
Kepha uBlinken uxwayise ngokuthi ukuzimisela kwangoLwesithathu akukhiphi ukuthi kungenzeka ezinye izinqumo esikhathini esizayo njengoba imininingwane eminingi itholakala.
“IMelika izibophezele ekwakheni phezu kwalokhu kuzimisela nokusebenzisa amathuluzi atholakalayo ukuqeda le ngxabano futhi ayeke ukwenza unya nokunye ukuhlukunyezwa okuphuca abantu baseSudan inkululeko, ukuthula nobulungiswa,” kusho uBlinken.
