Abahlalutyi bathi imeko yezokhuseleko kummandla wase-Egypt oMntla weSinayi uya usiba mandundu kulandela uhlaselo olubi olwabangwa liLizwe lamaSilamsi. Ukuqhuma ngoMeyi 1 kujolise kwisithuthi esixhobileyo emazantsi eBir al-Abd, ukubulala okanye ukonzakalisa amajoni ali-10, kubandakanya negosa, utshilo umkhosi wase-Egypt.

Kwiintsuku ezimbini emva kolu hlaselo, imikhosi yezokhuseleko yase-Egypt yagqogqa ikhaya elise-Bir al-Abd, yabulala abarhanelwa abali-18 ekulweni umlilo, ngokutsho kwe-Interior Ministry.

U-Bir al-Abd wayeyindawo apho uhlaselo lwabanqolobi lwabulala abantu kwimbali yase-Egypt e-2017 xa malunga ne-40 yabaphethe umpu bavulwa ngemikhosi yangoLwesihlanu kwimosque yaseSufi al-Rawda, babulala kwaye benzakalisa amakhulu.

Umjikelo wamva nje wobundlobongela kukho ababukeleyo abachaphazelekayo ukuba ubuSulumane beSinayi ubuqabane buhamba mpuma buya ngasentshona kwindlela engaselunxwemeni, ngaphaya kwalapho amaSulumane State - iWilayat Sinai (kwiPhondo leSinayi) iiseli ezoyikisayo bezisebenza ngokwesiko ukusukela oko uqhushululu lwaqala ngo-2011- iindawo ezinje nge URafah kunye noSheikh Zuweid.

I-Wilayat Sinai iyasondela kwi-Suez Canal nakwilizwekazi lase-Egypt nangona uMongameli wase-Egypt u-Abdel Fattah el-Sisi egunyazisa umsebenzi omkhulu wokhuseleko e-2018 emva kohlaselo lwe-mosque ka-2017. Iphulo lokulwa nobunqolobi, elibizwa ngokuba yiComprehensive Operation - iSinayi 2018, ikakhulu lijolise kubavukeli abangamaSilamsi emantla nasembindini weSinayi kunye neenxalenye zeNayile Delta.

“Okukhona usondela kwi-Suez Canal, kokukhona amaYiputa aya kuba nexhala. Yeyona ndlela iphambili yokuhamba ngenqanawa, ingumthombo wemali engenayo eYiphutha, ”utshilo uNjingalwazi Yossi Mekelberg, umphandi wase Middle East eChatham House, uxelele I-Media Line.

UMekelberg uthe intshukumo yasentshona ngaphaya kwendawo yabo yesiqhelo ibonisa ukuba uWilayat Sinai uye wazithemba ngakumbi kwaye wanesibindi. Oko akufuneki kukhathalele i-Egypt kuphela kodwa no-Israyeli, ngokunjalo, kwaye ukuba uhlaselo lobunqolobi luyaqhubeka kufutshane neSuez Canal, uluntu lwamanye amazwe lunokuzibandakanya-imeko leyo, ngokwe-Mekelberg, enokuthi ithathe kwi-NATO.

"Ndicinga ukuba abagrogrisi baseSinayi bafuna ukujolisa kwiSuez Canal kwasekuqaleni kwephulo labo," utshilo uJim Phillips, ingcali yoMbindi Mpuma kwiLifa leMveli, uxelele iMedia Line. “Sisisixhobo esibalulekileyo sobuchule kunye ne-injini yezoqoqosho kwi-Egypt kwaye ama-Islamist extremists afuna ukonakalisa uqoqosho lwase-Egypt, ngakumbi ukhenketho, ukujongela phantsi urhulumente. Ukuhlasela lo mjelo kukwavelisa iindaba ezithandwa ngabantu abanqolobi. ”

UPhillips wayegxeka iqhinga lokulwa nabezobupolitika lase-Egypt, esithi i-Egypt yayitshatile kwiindlela eziqhelekileyo zomkhosi ngokuchasene notshaba olungaqhelekanga ngelixa ikwahlukanisa ama-Bedouins asekuhlaleni aqeshwe ngu-Wilayat Sinai.

"Izizwe ezininzi zamaBedouin eSinayi kudala zakhalaza ngokucalucalulwa ngurhulumente wase-Egypt, abathi bahlawulise banikezela ngezibonelelo ezimbalwa zoqoqosho kubantu babo," utshilo uPhillips. "Basebenzisene ne-ISIS kunye namanye amagorha angamaSilamsi angenise ngokungekho mthethweni izixhobo, abantu kunye nezinto ezingekho mthethweni e-Egypt nase-Gaza."

Malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-23,000 ezikwere (60,000 square km, malunga nobukhulu beWest Virginia), iPeninsula yaseSinayi enabantu abaninzi, inzima kwimizamo yomkhosi wase-Egypt wokoyisa i-insurgency.

“La maqela athe kratya eSinayi. Kunzima ukulawula iSinayi. Yintsimi enkulu leyo, ”utshilo uMekelberg.

Ubhubhane we-coronavirus ubonakalisa ukuba ingxaki yezempilo inokutshintsha njani ngokukhawuleza ingqalelo kunye nezixhobo.

"Umkhosi wase-Egypt ujongene nale nto kwaye wakwazi ukuyilawula," utshilo uMekelberg. "Kodwa akukho lula kuba i-Egypt lilizwe elikhulu elinemicimbi emininzi ngaphaya kwePeninsula yeSinayi."
