Unobhala osisigxina kwi-Ofisi yoMphathiswa Wezendalo kunye nezoKhenketho eDar es Salaam kwiveki ephelileyo uphendule ngomsindo malunga neCITES (Ingqungquthela yoRhwebo lwaMazwe ngaMazwe kwiZilwanyana ezisengozini yezilwanyana zasendle kunye neFlora) ukwaliwa kwesicelo sabo sokuthengisa isitokhwe "esisemthethweni" sempondo zendlovu. Uhlaselo olugqithisileyo koonobhala nakubamelwane baseKenya, abatyhola ngelithi babekhokele iphulo lokusasaza ubuxoki. Utyhole noonobhala be-CITES eLusaka “ngolwazi olungelulo” phambi kokuba ongeze athi, “Besinyanisile,” emva koko watyhola iKenya ngokulahlekisa umhlaba wonke xa esithi: '… kodwa okwenzekileyo kukuba iKenya ikhokele phambili iphulo elibi. , kwaye zonke ezinye izizwe zixhomekeke kulwazi olungelulo oluvela eKenya, yiyo loo nto izigqibo bezingasivumeli, ”kucace gca ukuba iyaziphikisa iinyani ezicaciswe ngunobhala kwiseshoni yamalungu onke kwaye isilele ukubona ukuba isindululo eso asilunganga. ekuqaleni.
Kwanomphathiswa wakhe kutshanje uye wakhupha ikati engumzekeliso engxoweni xa esithi "yinxalenye kuphela yengeniso" eya kulondolozo, enika abachasi besicelo ixesha elaneleyo lokwazisa ukusilela komgwebo, nokuba wenziwe ngentetho engalindelekanga, Omnye umthombo eTanzania walatha kule ntatheli.
Ukuma ngokuqinileyo kwabo "konke okanye kwanto" ethathwe yiTanzania ukuya kwintlanganiso ye-CITES ibashiye igumbi elincinci lokuqhuba kwaye ngokucacileyo yenza ukuba kungabikho nto kubo ukwamkela ukuvumelana, ngakumbi emva kokurhabaxa oogxa babo baseKenya ababezamile ukufuna Isisombululo phantsi kwephiko loLuntu lwaseMpuma Afrika (EAC).
Umthombo eDar es Salaam sele uthembisile ukuba iTanzania izakufaka isicelo esitsha sokuthengisa izitokhwe zabo zeendlovu kungekudala, kodwa kuye kwafuneka bavume umbuzo olandelayo ukuba yiJapan neTshayina kuphela ezifuna ukuthenga iimpondo zendlovu, izizwe ezimbini ezaziwayo ukubawa kwabo nokulambela kwabo “igolide emhlophe” ngendleko yeendlovu eAfrika. Ukungaphumeleli, nangona kunjalo, kwiseshoni yokuvala intlanganiso eDoha, apho igqiza laseTanzania labhekisa ukwala kwangaphambili ukuba liphinde liqwalaselwe kwaye liphinde lahlulwa, oku akuthethi kakuhle malunga namandla okuthunyelwa kunye nokufunda Olu phuhliso kwaye luza kubashiya xa begoduka beyokukhotha amanxeba abo kwaye kufuneka bafune isicwangciso esitsha sokuphuma kwindawo yokuzimela apho iTanzania ngoku ifumana khona amalungu eendibano zobumbano lwendlovu.
Okwangoku, abagcini bolondolozo lwendalo kunye nee-NGOs ezinxulunyaniswe nolondolozo zivakalise ukukhululeka kwabo ngengcebiso yoonobhala kwiseshoni yenxalenye yokwala isicelo, kwaye ngasese, uninzi lwabo luthambise ukuma kwabo kubasebenzi bezobhalane malunga nezityholo zangaphambili ezenziwe "ngocalucalulo," eqinisekisa le ntatheli ukuba abasebenzi apho baziphathe ngendlela engenasiphako kwaye banika ingxelo enobulungisa nelungeleleneyo kubathunywa belizwe abangamalungu.
Bekungekho zimvo zisemthethweni zivela eKenya malunga nezityholo ezenziwe ngoogxa babo baseTanzania, nangona omnye umthombo eNairobi, unyanzelisa ukungachazwa ngegama wathi: "Oku kuzokuya kwi-EAC ngeengxoxo apho. Ngumcimbi oxhalabisayo kwamanye amalungu e-EAC, kwaye kungcono ukuba ungaphenduli kolu hlobo lokuthetha ngoluntu esidlangalaleni kodwa uxoxe ngalo kwiforum efanelekileyo. Ikho neminye imiba efuna ukuhlengahlengiswa, kwaye izisombululo sizokuzilandela ngeengxoxo ezithe ngqo, hayi amajelo eendaba. ”
Ukunceda abafundi, sikwapapasha ikhonkco elahlukileyo kwiphephandaba laseKenya, iThe Standard, ushicilelo kwi-intanethi, olubonisa imiba eyahlukeneyo enxulumene nale ngxoxo iqhubayo kubandakanya iikowuti ezivela kwingxelo yoonobhala beCITES epapashwe kutshanje kulandela utyelelo eTanzania a kwiiveki ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo: http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/InsidePage.php?id=2000006025&cid=4&ttl=Declining%20elephant%20population%20worries%20countries.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Having failed, however, again in the closing plenary session in Doha, to which the Tanzanian delegation referred the earlier refusal for re-consideration and was once more turned down, this does not speak well of the capacity of the delegation to absorb and learn from these developments and will leave them upon their return home to lick their wounds and having to seek a new strategy to come out of the self-created isolation in which Tanzania now finds herself vis-a-vis the members of the elephant coalition countries.
- A source in Dar es Salaam already promised that Tanzania would file a fresh application to sell their ivory stocks very soon, but had to concede to a follow-up question that it was only Japan and China wanting to buy the ivory, two nations notorious for their greed and hunger for the “white gold”.
- For the benefit of readers, we are also publishing a separate link from the Kenyan newspaper, The Standard, online edition, which reflects on the various issues related to this ongoing debate including quotations from the CITES secretariat's report recently published following a visit to Tanzania a few weeks ago.
