Iindaba ezimbi zabetha iihotele ezininzi, iiresityu kunye nezinye iindawo zabakhenkethi kubukumkani obuncinci boMbindi Mpuma eBahrain njengoko ipalamente ivotele ngamxhelo mnye ngoMatshi 6 kwisithintelo sokungathengiswa kotywala esidlangalaleni. Ngaphambili, sele beqhubele phambili nesiphakamiso sokuvala ukuthengiswa kotywala kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseBahrain, kubandakanywa neevenkile zasimahla kunye neenqwelomoya zeGulf Air.
Ngaphantsi kwesi siphakamiso esitsha, iindwendwe zehotele ziya kuvunyelwa utywala kuphela emagumbini abo ngelixa ukusetyenziswa kumakhaya abucala kuya kuqhubeka nokuvunyelwa, kunye nababoneleli bebonelela ngokuhanjiswa kwekhaya, ngokutsho kweGulf News.
Ngeli xesha, abanini beehotele kunye nabanini bevenkile zokutyela/abaqhubi bakhangela indlela yokuthintela inyathelo leLungu lePalamente elinika impembelelo kwezoqoqosho njengesizathu sokushenxisa lo kuvalwa, okuya kusiwa ngaphambili kwiKhabhinethi phambi kokuba wenziwe umthetho.
I-Bahrain ayizange ibe ngqongqo ngolu hlobo ngaphambili ngotywala. Ngapha koko, yindawo yokuzimela iSaudis ekhululekileyo efuna kuphela ukuwela indlela esuka eDhahran ukonwabela esi “siqhamo salelweyo.” Inqaku elinye lesikhokelo sokuhamba esinikwe nguManugistics sakha salumkisa abahambi ngokusetyenziswa kotywala-ngenyanga engcwele yamaSilamsi iRamadan. Yayisithi, “Ungaseli, ungatshayi okanye ungatyi esidlangalaleni phakathi kokuphuma nokutshona kwelanga ngexesha leRamadan, inyanga engcwele yamaSilamsi. Akukho mthethweni nje kuphela, kukwanjalo nokuziphatha okubi ngokwembono yabemi. Unokunandipha isiselo esinxilisayo ngamanye amaxesha (njengokuba iindwendwe ezininzi zaseSaudi Arabia zisiya eBahrain ukuya kwenza kanye loo nto).”
I-Bahrain yindawo yokuqala yaseSaudi yokungena kwihlabathi “lokwenyani” lolonwabo. Esi siqithi sincinane esikunxweme lwaseSaudi Arabia, sidityaniswe yindledlana ehamba phambili, eneneni sisiqithi seziqithi kunye nelizwe elizimele geqe ngokupheleleyo. Yonke malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-231, ilele kwiPersian Gulf kwaye ineziqithi ezingama-33, kubandakanya iBahrain, Muharraq, Umm Nasan, Sitrah, An Nabi Salih kunye neHawar Islands.
I-capital yayo i-Manama ipholile, i-hip kunye ne-liberal, ukuba i-Saudi kunye ne-expats esebenzayo ayinakucinga nokuba ingqongqo kangakanani kummelwane olandelayo, ubukumkani be-Abulaziz. Ama-Bahrain ubukhulu becala ngamaSilamsi kwaye angumxube wesiArabhu anemvelaphi yasePersi, kuquka amaIndiya namaPakistani amancinci. Uluntu lwangaphandle olulawula indawo yesiqithi ubukhulu becala ngamaBritane. Isezantsi, ithe tyaba kwaye inesanti ineendawo ezihlala emanzini ezixhasa izityalo nezilwanyana zasentlango ezifana neenkamela needonki. Ukulinywa kwemifuno kuxhaphakile. Kwakukho nentaphane yeeperile ezitsala amaza amaPhuthukezi namaPersi awangena ngenkulungwane ye-16 neye-17 ngokulandelelanayo. Ngo-1820, batyikitya isivumelwano sobuhlobo neBritani esenza iBahrain ibe yindawo ekhuselayo okanye ekhuselweyo yisheikhdom ngo-1862. Ngo-1971, iBahrain yaba lilizwe elizimeleyo apho i-Iran yafumana ibango elidala ngo-1979.
I-oyile yenza iBahrain ibe yilento iyiyo namhlanje. Ioyile yeyona ibalaseleyo kwisikali seemveliso zasekhaya. Isityebi kwi-oyile, imveliso, ukusulungekiswa kunye nokuthumela i-oyile kumazwe angaphandle ukusukela oko yafunyanwa ngo-1932 yenza eli lizwe libe lelona lizwe le-oyile eliyiGulf.
Ngaphambili kwezokhenketho, i-Bahrain esikelelwe ngeoli nayo yabetha 'igolide emnyama' namadoda asuka kumazwe 'omileyo', angengawo utywala. Yaba yinto enkulu kakhulu ngenxa yokusondela kwiSaudis elambileyo enqumla kumanzi e-Gulf kwaye ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba elithile, i-American GIs kunye nabasebenzi baseYurophu ebukumkanini, ngaphandle kwabo i-Bahrain yayingayi kuba yinto ephithizelayo kunye ne-pulsating ebusuku. (Ngaphezu kwayo yonke loo nto, iSaudi yeyona marike inkulu evelisa abakhenkethi abaphumayo kulo mmandla, i-avareji ye-3M ye-Bahrain kwaye iphelele ngaphezu kwe-5M yohambo ngomnyaka we-avareji kuwo wonke ummandla. I-Saudi Arabia ineyona nkcitho inkulu kuzo zonke iintlanga ezikuMbindi Mpuma ).
I-Saudis idinga kuphela ukuwela i-King Fahd Causeway esuka eDammam, e-Al Kobbar, e-Dhahran kwiiPhondo zaseMpuma zaseSaudi ukuya kwisiqithi. Ukusukela ekuvulweni kwale bhulorho, iBahrain ibone ukuhamba rhoqo kwetrafikhi yaseSaudi inegalelo elingaphezu kwe-75 yeepesenti kubo bonke ubusuku bokhenketho. Kwaye ngempelaveki, bahlala ubusuku obu-1-2 be-R&R kwindawo ekhululekileyo yase-Bahrain.
Ke ngoku, ngelixa i-Bahrains ilinde ngokuphefumula umoya ngenxa yesiphumo sokuvalwa kwengubo yotywala, i-Saudis inokulindela ukuvulwa kwezinye iindawo eziya kuququzelela ukuzonwabisa. Ukulandela uhlolo lwehotele lwamva nje lwe-Proleads, i-Bahrain iya kubona ukunyuka kwe-inventri ye-resort kunye neehotele ezintlanu ezongezelelweyo - enye iya kuziswa ngo-2009 kunye nezine kwi-2010.
Kwilizwe elincinci laseBahrain, eliyeyona ndawo ikhethiweyo yokhenketho kunye neyona ndawo ibaluleke kakhulu kubakhenkethi baseSaudi abatyebileyo kunye nabasebenzi abavuzwa ngokuncomekayo abaphuma kumazwe angaphandle, ulonwabo lusengaqhubeka ngaphandle kotywala obuncinci kwiindawo ezithile zoluntu.
