Abakhenkethi abathunjiweyo basiwa eLibya

I-KHARTOUM - Izihange ezithimbe abakhenkethi be-19 kunye namaJiphutha entlango baye babasusa eSudan baya eLibya, begutyungelwe yimikhosi yaseSudan abathi abayi kubeka ubomi babathinjwa emngciphekweni.

"Abaqweqwedisi kunye nabakhenkethi baye bafudukela eLibya, malunga neekhilomitha ezili-13 ukuya kwi-15 (iikhilomitha ezisibhozo ukuya kwezilithoba) ngaphesheya komda," u-Ali Yousuf, umlawuli weprotocol kwinkonzo yangaphandle yaseSudan, uxelele i-AFP.

"Bonke abathinjwa baphila kakuhle, ngokolwazi lwethu, kwaye sibeka esweni imeko ... Imikhosi yomkhosi ikummandla, kodwa asizukuthatha nayiphi na intshukumo ebeka ubomi babo babanjwe kuwo nawuphi na umngcipheko."

Iqela lamaJamani amahlanu, amaTaliyane amahlanu kunye nowaseRomania kunye nabaqhubi abasibhozo base-Egypt kunye nabakhokelayo baxhwilwa zizihange ezigqunywe ubuso ngelixa bekwindlela yasentlango ukuze bajonge ubugcisa bembali yamandulo kumazantsi ntshona e-Egypt nge-19 kaSeptemba.

Igosa laseYiputa lithe aba baphangi bafuna iJamani ihlawule i-euro yezigidi ezithandathu (i-8.8 yezigidi zeedola).

"IJamani inxibelelana nabaqweqwedisi, kwaye iSudan isanxibelelana ngokusondeleyo nabaphathi baseYiputa, baseTaliyane, baseJamani naseRomania," utshilo uYousuf.

Abasemagunyeni eLibya, abaqhagamshelwe yi-AFP, banqabile ukuphawula malunga nabathinjwa.

Umthombo wase-Egypt ocatshulwe ligosa leendaba le-MENA uthe eli qela lifudukele “ngenxa yokunqongophala kwamanzi kwindawo ebethinjwe kuyo.”

"Abasemagunyeni baseSudan basixelele ukuba (abathinjwa) bafuduselwe eLibya," utshilo igosa lezokhuseleko eCairo, licela ukuba lingachazwa igama. Asazi ukuba bayakhululwa okanye ingxaki iya iba mandundu.

Inyathelo lamva nje leqela lithetha ukuba lisingise ngasentshona lijikeleze i-Jebel Uweinat, i-1,900-metres-high (6,200-foot-high) ithafa elimalunga neekhilomitha ezingama-30 (iikhilomitha ezingama-20) ububanzi elijikeleze imida ye-Egypt, iLibya neSudan.

Ngo-Agasti, abaqweqwedisi ababini benqwelomoya yaseSudan banikezela kubaphathi baseLibya emva kokufika eKufra, indawo ehlala ichweba ekumzantsi-mpuma weLibya kunye neekhilomitha ezingama-300 (iikhilomitha ezingama-200).

Ngokuchaseneyo nommandla ongaphuhliswanga waseYiputa kunye nowaseSudan ojikeleze i-Jebel Uweinat, icala laseLibya liyafikelela ezindleleni kwaye likwanobukho obuqhubekayo bomkhosi.

I-Egypt ithe iJamani iqhuba uthethathethwano ngenkosikazi yaseJamani yomkhenkethi wase-Egypt ophakathi kwabalahlekileyo. IBerlin ithe yaseka iqela lengxaki yokuxhwilwa.

Amanani amaninzi ahlukeneyo entlawulelo athe akhankanywa ukusukela oko kwaxelwa okokuqala ukuba iqela lilahlekile ngoMvulo.

Eli qela lathatyathwa kwiGilf el-Kabir yaseYiputa iikhilomitha ezingama-25 (iikhilomitha ezili-17) lasiwa eSudan lasiwa eJebel Uweinat, apho imikhosi yaseSudan “yayingqinge loo ndawo.”

IKhartoum ithe ababanjwa abenzakalanga kwaye abananjongo yokugqogqa le ndawo “ukuze kugcinwe ubomi babantu abaqweqwedisiweyo.”

Abahambi abakwiminyaka yabo yama-70 baphakathi kwabathinjwa ababanjelwe entlango, apho amaqondo obushushu emini anokubetha ama-40 degrees celcius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) nangoSeptemba.

Indawo yokuxhwila ilithafa eliyinkqantosi elidume ngemizobo yomqolomba wangaphambili, kuquka “Umqolomba wabaDadi” oboniswe kwifilimu ka-1996 ethi “The English Patient.”

Abasemagunyeni baye bazi ngokuxhwilwa ngoMvulo xa inkokeli yeqela labakhenkethi yafowunela unkosikazi wayo imxelela ngemfuneko yentlawulelo.

Igosa lezokhuseleko e-Egypt lithe abaqweqwedisi "kusenokwenzeka ukuba ngamaChad" emva kokuba iSudan ithe babengamaJiphutha.

Amanye amagosa acebise ukuba abavukeli babaqweqwedisi basuka komnye wengingqi yase-Sudan edlakazwe yimfazwe yaseDarfur, nangona amaqela amaninzi avukelayo akukhabile oku.

Ukuxhwilwa kwabantu basemzini kunqabile e-Egypt, nangona ngo-2001 umJiphutha owayexhobile wabamba abakhenkethi abane baseJamani kangangeentsuku ezintathu kwindawo yokuchithela iNayile e-Luxor, efuna ukuba umfazi wakhe owahlukana naye abuyise oonyana bakhe ababini eJamani. Wabakhulula abo bathinjwa bengenawo nomkrwelo.
