UNobhala Wezangaphakathi waseBrithani uSuella Braverman ufike eRwanda ngoMgqibelo ukuzodingida a isivumelwano esiyimpikiswano okuzokwenza ukuthi abantu base-UK abadingisiwe abathathwa njengabafike ngokungemthetho esizweni sase-Afrika.
Lolu hlelo lubhekene nezinkinga zomthetho – akekho osaxoshiwe – futhi ukuvakasha kukaBraverman kugxekwe njengoba ememe izintatheli ezivela ezihlokweni ezingakwesokudla ukuthi zimphelezele, ngaphandle kwalezo ezikhululekile.
Ngaphambi kokuthi ahambe uBraverman ukuqinisekisile ukuzibophezela kwakhe kulolu hlelo, wathi “luzosebenza njengesivimbelo esinamandla ohambweni oluyingozi nolungekho emthethweni,” kubika i-PA.
UBraverman ufike enhlokodolobha yaseRwanda, iKigali, lapho ahlangatshezwa khona ngunobhala ophelele womnyango wezangaphandle eRwanda uClementine Mukeka, kanye nokhomishana waseBrithani eRwanda u-Omar Daair.
Lolu hambo lwenzeka ezinyangeni ezingu-11 ngemuva kokuthi uhulumeni wase-UK eveze uhlelo lwakhe lokuthumela izinkulungwane zabokufika okucatshangwa ukuthi bangene ezweni ngokungemthetho eRwanda ukuze kucutshungulwe izicelo zabo zokukhosela.
Uhulumeni umile kwelokuthi lolu hlelo luhlose ukuphazamisa amanethiwekhi okushushumbisa abantu kanye nokuvimbela abafuduki ukuba bathathe uhambo lwasolwandle oluyingozi banqamule iChannel ukuya eNgilandi besuka eFrance.
Lolu hlelo, obeluzobona ukuthi i-UK ikhokhele iRwanda ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyi-145 (ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyi-120) eminyakeni emihlanu ezayo, ibhekane nezingqinamba ezivela kuma-NGO, abafuna indawo yokukhosela kanye nenyunyana yabasebenzi bakahulumeni ebingabaza ukuba semthethweni kwayo, nokuholele ekutheni uhulumeni abambezele ukubulawa kwayo.
Azikho izindiza ezenzekile okwamanje, ngemuva kokuthi indiza yokuqala ebihlelelwe ukuya eRwanda imisiwe ngehora leshumi nanye emuva kukaJuni, ngenxa ukungenelela yiNkantolo YaseYurophu Yamalungelo Abantu (ECHR), okwalandelwa izinyanga zezinselele ezingokomthetho eziye zamisa lolu hlelo.
Uhulumeni wase-UK wenze ukumisa abafuduki abafika ngezikebhe ezincane ogwini lwayo kube yinto eza kuqala.
I-Illegal Migration Bill, okudingidwa ngayo ePhalamende, inika uhulumeni ilungelo lokuxosha noma ngubani ofika e-UK ngokungemthetho. Ezimweni eziningi, ayikho imizila ephephile nesemthethweni eya e-UK, okusho ukuthi abaningi abafuna ukukhoseliswa bangafika ngokungemthetho kuphela.
Ngaphansi kwalo mthethosivivinywa, abantu abafika e-UK “ngeke bavunyelwe ukuthi izicelo zabo zokukhoseliswa zihlolwe ngisho noma bengababaleki abavela emiphakathini ekhungethwe yimpi,” kusho u-Alexander Betts, uMqondisi we-University of Oxford Refugee Studies Center.
Esikhundleni salokho, bazobhekana nokususwa ngokushesha ezweni labo lendabuko, noma ezweni lesithathu, njengeRwanda.
Kodwa kunokukhathazeka ngokuthi lo mthetho ohlongozwayo awukho emthethweni.
“Uma uvula umthethosivivinywa, ekhasini lokuqala kunefulegi elikhulu elibomvu elithi: Lokhu kungase kwephule Isivumelwano SaseYurophu Samalungelo Abantu,” kusho uBetts etshela i-CNN.
Wengeze ngokuthi lo mthethosivivinywa ohlongozwayo “ubalulekile ngokomlando,” njengoba ufana “nombuso okhululekile, wentando yeningi olahla isimiso selungelo lokukhoseliswa.”
INkantolo Yezizwe Ezihlangene Yamalungelo Abantu iye waxwayisa ukuthi umthethosivivinywa, uma ushaywa, uzoba “ukwephulwa okusobala” kweSivumelwano Sababaleki.
Kunokukhathazeka futhi ngokuthi umthethosivivinywa awusebenzi. Uhulumeni waseRwanda ukwenzile kukhonjisiwe ukuthi ingacubungula kuphela abantu abayi-1,000 abafuna ukukhoseliswa esikhathini sokuqala seminyaka emihlanu.
Ngokuphambene, bangu-45,755 abantu kulinganiselwa ukufika e-UK ngezikebhe ezincane ezawela i-English Channel ngo-2022 kuphela.
