Kangangeminyaka engama-46, abemi base-US bathintelwe ngokusebenzayo ukuba bahambe baye esona siqithi sikhulu seCaribbean, iikhilomitha nje ezingama-90 ukusuka elunxwemeni lwethu. Ukuba sakhe saba nesizathu esivakalayo sesi salelo, saphelelwa kudala.
Ngoku kukho umthetho oyilwayo kwiCongress, uMthetho weNkululeko yokuHamba uye eCuba, onokuthi uwuphelise. Kwaye kukho into ebonisa ukuba, ekugqibeleni, eli tyala linokuba ngumthetho.
Kubekho iimeko ezimbalwa ezingaqhelekanga ezivumela abemi base-US ukuba batyelele eCuba ngeenjongo zemfundo, ubuntatheli kunye notyelelo kusapho. Kodwa iyamangalisa ngokwenene into yokuba nangemihla yeMfazwe Yomlomo, abemi base-US banokuhamba ngokulula ukuya eTshayina okanye eSoviet Union kunokuya eCuba.
Akukho sizathu sokuphikisa ukuba uFidel Castro kunye norhulumente waseCuba bafanelwe iidola zethu zabakhenkethi ngaphandle kokuba siza kwandisa loo ngxabano kwaye siyisebenzise emhlabeni jikelele. Emantla ekorea? Miyanimar? Iran? Urhulumente wethu akasithinteli ukuba sityelele ezi ndawo, nokuba oorhulumente bazo bangamakomanisi, iimfazwe okanye bacinezele kangakanani na.
Ndikhe ndatsho ngaphambili ukuba ndiyathandabuza ukuya eCuba, ukuba bekuvunyelwe. Andinguye umlandeli kaFidel Castro. Kodwa ndicinga ukuba kufuneka ndizenzele olo khetho.
Uninzi lwabantu baseMelika ngoku bafuna ukususa kungekuphela nje ukuvalwa kokuhamba kodwa yonke i-embargo, ngokokuvota okwenziwe kwinyanga ephelileyo. Kwaye kukho inkxaso ekhulayo ye-bipartisan kuzo zombini izindlu zeCongress.
Umthetho weNkululeko yokuHamba uye eCuba waziswa nguMongameli uWilliam D. Delahunt, iMassachusetts Democrat, kunye nabaxhasi bayo baquka uRep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Connecticut, kunye noRep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, kunye nabanye abathandathu. amalungu eCongress avela kumaqela omabini.
NgoMvulo, ingxelo iya kukhutshwa kunye neengcebiso ezivela kwiSen. Richard G. Lugar, iRiphabhlikhi ephezulu kwiKomiti yezoBudlelwane baMazwe angaphandle, ukuphakamisa izithintelo zokuhamba ukuya eCuba kunye nokuthatha amanye amanyathelo ngokubhekiselele kubudlelwane obuqhelekileyo, ngokutsho kweWashington Post.
U-Arthur Frommer, oye waxhasa ixesha elide ukupheliswa kokuvalwa kokuhamba, uqikelela ukuba ukuphela kwayo kuya kuchaphazela ishishini lokuhamba ngeenqanawa ngaphezu kweehotele zokungcebeleka. Ukholelwa ukuba ukhenketho lwe-backpacker, kunye neendwendwe ezihlala kumakhaya abantu, nazo ziya kuqala.
Ngokuqinisekileyo kukho inkxalabo efanelekileyo kuyo yonke iCaribbean, kwaye kuwo wonke ummandla, malunga nokulahlekelwa kwezoqoqosho. Ndiyivile ngokuphindaphindiweyo eCosta Rica, apho abantu ababandakanyekayo kushishino lwabakhenkethi besaba ukuba iidola ziya kuphuma eCuba.
Nangona kunjalo, esi ayisosizathu sokukhawulela abemi base-US kwinkululeko yabo yokuhamba, ukufunda nokuzenzela izigqibo.
