I-UGANDA (eTN) – Kule veki ihlabathi libhiyozele uSuku lwaMahlathi lwaMazwe ngaMazwe kwaye, ndicinga ukuba ngokwenene, ndibone ukuba lixesha elifanelekileyo lokunikela iingcinga ezithile kumahlathi akummandla wethu. EKenya abezopolitiko bacamngca kwiminyaka eyi-5 edlulileyo indlela yokubuyisela ihlathi laseMau, kunye nabanye, kwimisebenzi yabo ebalulekileyo njengeenqaba zamanzi. ETanzania ukugawulwa kwemithi ngokungekho mthethweni kuyingxaki enkulu kunokuzingela ngokungekho mthethweni, kwaye loo nto ayisalawuleki njengoko injalo, kwaye ukuthinjwa kukaloliwe womthwalo kwiveki ephelileyo ezele ngamaplanga agawulwe ngokungekho mthethweni kubonisa indlela olungene ngayo unxulumano, xa bonke oololiwe bakaloliwe bekwazi. iguqulwe ibe kukuhamba ngenqanawa.
Ngokuqinisekileyo, umzekelo oqaqambileyo eMpuma Afrika yiRwanda, apho iHlathi leNyungwe liyipaki yesizwe kwaye igadiwe kwaye ikhuselwe ngomona, kwaye apho amandla okhenketho eGishwati aya kuthi kwiiveki ezimbalwa atyhilwe kwinqaku leendaba, enika imbeko kwabo bangaphakathi. "umhlaba weenduli eziliwaka" abanombono wokukhusela amahlathi abo njengemithombo yamanzi, izityalo zamayeza, kunye nokugcina ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kunye nokuzisebenzisa ngokuzinzileyo kwimisebenzi ye-ecotourism eluhlaza.
Kodwa namhlanje yiMabira kwakhona eye yatsala ingqalelo yam, njengoko iingxelo ziqhubeka zivela zokugawulwa kwemithi ngokungekho mthethweni nzulu phakathi kwehlathi, ngoku ingxaki eyandayo ecingelwa ukuba mbi ngakumbi kunenyathelo elingafanelekanga lokujika ikota yehlathi ibe lisimi leswekile. Ihlathi sele liqalile ukuphuhlisa amandla alo okhenketho, ngokuthe ngcembe kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo, kwaye iRainForest Lodge eMabira iye yaba yindawo ekugxilwe kuyo ukhenketho lwamahlathi, ukusuka apho ukuhamba ngebhayisikile kunye nokuhamba intaba kunokulungiselelwa ngokulula. Ngokuchasene nokucinywa kwendawo yokulala, iimitha ezingamakhulu ambalwa phantsi komzila, iziko le-ecotourism yehlathi, elisekwe nguGunyaziwe weHlathi leSizwe, ukusuka apho ezinye iindawo zokunyuka ziqala kwaye apho iibhayisikili zeentaba ziyafumaneka ukuze ziqeshwe, kwabo beza ngaphandle. kwaye ngequbuliso ungene kwimood yokukhwela ehlathini phantsi kwemithi yakudala.
URobert, uNobhala weMabira Forest Integrated Communities Organisation, eyaziwa ngokuba yi-MAFICO, ucatshulwe kutshanje kumajelo eendaba asekuhlaleni esithi: “Iyinxalenye yelifa lenkcubeko etyebileyo kaMabira” ngaphambi kokuba ongeze ukuba nangona imbali yaseMabira ivalelwe. iimfihlakalo, amabali asentsomini abaliswa kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana. Kwiminyaka eyi-5 edlulileyo, ngokutsho kukaRobert, iNkqubo yeSibonelelo esiNcinci phantsi kweNkqubo yoPhuhliso lweZizwe eziManyeneyo ityale i-US $ 70,000 ukunceda ukuhlanganisa amandla okhenketho kwi-Griffin Falls kunye nokukhuthaza uphuhliso loluntu.
“Amandla okhenketho eMabira makhulu,” wongeze watsho uRobert esithi zininzi iimveliso zokhenketho ezilindele ukufakwa.
Kwiminyaka emibini edluleyo kuphela uhlobo olutsha lweempungutye lwafunyanwa lwaza lwaqinisekiswa ziingcaphephe kunye noluhlu lweentaka, amabhabhathane, noluhlu lwezinye izilwanyana ezanyisayo, zemithi, izityalo zonyango, amatyholo nee<em>orchids lubanzi, nto leyo ephikisana nesibakala sokuba ihlathi liyanyibilika. kufutshane nekomkhulu lelizwe iKampala. Ngenxa yoko iihektare eziphantse zibe ngama-29,000 zehlathi zisebenza njengomphunga oluhlaza waseKampala, osoloko ungahoywa, uhlala ukhanyelwa, kodwa nangona kunjalo, ukugcina ulungelelwaniso olubalulekileyo lweekhabhoni ezikhutshwe yindlela yokuphila yanamhlanje kunye nokukhutshwa kwemizi-mveliso kunye neekhabhoni ezibanjelwe emithini.
Umsebenzi owongeziweyo njengenqaba yamanzi ubaluleke ngokufanayo, njengoko uMlambo umNayile kunye noMlambo iSezibwa zombini ziphuma kuwo, nto leyo enceda amanqanaba amanzi eLake Victoria.
Ilahleko yamahlathi e-Uganda inkulu kwaye iye yanda kule minyaka yakutshanje, ikakhulu kubangelwe ngabezopolitiko abanganyanisekanga abathembisa umhlaba kubahlali babo ngembuyekezo yeevoti zabo, kwaye oku kukhokelele kwezinye iindawo zelizwe ukuba kubhubhe amakhulu abantu xa ukudilika komhlaba kutshise yonke. iilali ezincinane, ezakhiwa ngabantu abangena ngokungekho mthethweni kwiNtaba ye-Elgon Forest National Park yaye besala ukuphuma phezu kwazo nje iintlekele ezinjalo. Iingxelo ezifanayo zokuhlaliswa kwehlathi ngokungekho mthethweni zivela kwiSithili sase-Kibaale nakwezinye iindawo kweli lizwe. Kwakhona, iingxelo zemithombo yeendaba zakutsha nje ngoku zibiza umba wokusingqongileyo njengomcimbi wokhuseleko lwesizwe kwaye eli nqaku lilandelayo likhutshelwe ngezantsi lithetha kakhulu apho iUganda isingise khona:
Okusingqongileyo ngumba wokhuseleko
Nangona uMbono welizwe ohlangeneyo wowama-2025 uthetha, “Ngabantu Abanenkqubela, iSizwana esiButheleneyo, iLizwe Elihle,” kuncinci okwenziwayo ukukhusela okusingqongileyo. Kwaye ngenxa yoku iUganda ilahlekelwa yihlathi layo ngesantya se-2% ngonyaka esifikelela kuma-892,000 eehektare.
Ngokutsho kweFAO, amazwe anjengeRwanda apho amahlathi agqugqisileyo aye aphucuka kwimigaqo-nkqubo yawo, kwimithetho yawo, aza atyala imali engakumbi ukuze amahlathi abandakanyeke nabemi basekuhlaleni ukuze balondoloze indalo baze batyale nemithi.
UGodber Tumushabe, intloko ye-Advocates Coalition for Development and Environment uveza ukuba imfezeko yendalo, ingakumbi imo engqongileyo eqhuba ibhaskithi yokutya kunye namahlathi, kunye nemigxobhozo esondla imizimba yamanzi ngamanzi kufuneka ibekwe kwinqanaba elifanayo nelombuso. ukhuseleko.
UTumushabe uthi: “Abantu abahluphekayo abangenazinto zokunceda nabathwaxwe ziintlekele zendalo azilawuleki.
Ukutshintsha indlela yokusetyenziswa komhlaba ayilokhetho lobulumko
Ngelixa i-Mabira inikezela kwi-Sugar Corporation yase-Uganda Limited (i-SCOUL) iqwalaselwa ukujongana nokunqongophala kweswekile kweli lizwe, uphando malunga noqikelelo lwezoqoqosho lwaseMabira lubonisa ukuba eso siphakamiso siyinto engafanelekanga.
Kodwa ukuba i-SCOUL yandisa imveliso yayo ukufanisa i-Kakira kunye ne-Kinyara ngoko ukwandiswa kweskimu somoba kwi-Mabira akuyi kuvela, ngokutsho kwengxelo entsha.
Ingxelo enesihloko esithi "Ixabiso loQoqosho lwe-7,186 yeehektare ze-Mabira Central Forest Reserve" ecetywayo yokutshintshwa kokusetyenziswa komhlaba okanye i-degazettement ecacileyo, ithi ukuba i-SCOUL ivelisa ngesantya semveliso ye-Kakira ngoko imfuno yomhlaba iya kunciphisa ukuya kwiihektare ze-5,496.
Ibango le-SCOUL lomhlaba lingacutha ukuya kutsho kuma-4,988 eehektare ukuba i-SCOUL ivelisa i-120 yeetoni ze-metric ngehektare njengoko kuphakanyiswe luphando olwenziwe yi-Africa Development Bank.
Enye imeko kukuba i-SCOUL inokuphucula kwakhona ukuguqulwa kommoba ukusuka kwi-8.4 ukuya kwi-10 njengeKinyara. Ukuba oku kuphunyeziwe, imfuno yomhlaba inokuhla ukusuka kwiihektare ezingama-7,186 ukuya kuma-6,036 eehektare.
Ngokwandisa imveliso yomhlaba njengoko kucetyisiwe luphononongo lweBhanki yoPhuhliso yase-Afrika kunye nokunyuka kokuguqulwa kweswekile, imfuno ye-SCOUL yomhlaba owongezelelekileyo inokwehla ngama-5,038 eehektare ishiya imfuno eshiyekileyo yeehektare ezingama-2,148 kuphela. Oku, ngokwengxelo, kungafumaneka kwezinye iindawo aze uMabira ashiyeke yedwa.
Le ngxelo yenziwe liqela elalikhokelwa nguGqirha Yakobo Moyini (RIP) njengomphandi ophambili kwiminyaka emine eyadlulayo. Uphononongo lwagunyaziswa yi-Nature Uganda, umbutho ongekho phantsi kolawulo lukarhulumente kunye neqabane le-BirdLife International.
Abanye abaphandi baquka ingcali yezinto ezahlukahlukeneyo eziphilayo, ingcali yezoqoqosho kwezolimo, ingcali yoluhlu lwamahlathi, ingcali ngezoqoqosho ngemekobume yendalo, nomhlalutyi wemigaqo-nkqubo.
Ngaphandle kweziphumo zohlalutyo lwezoqoqosho, ingxelo iyabuza ukuba kutheni urhulumente, "ebonakala egxile kakhulu kwi-SCOUL, eyona nkampani isebenzayo kwishishini leswekile."
Oku, phakathi kwezinye iingxelo ezininzi zosasazo kunye negalelo lenzululwazi evela kwiingcali zamahlathi kunye nabaphandi uya ukubonisa ukuba yeyiphi indima ebalulekileyo Mabira kufuneka idlale, ukanti, phantsi kokhuselo lobumnyama kodwa ngokwandayo rhoqo emini eliqaqambileyo iilori eziphuma ehlathini zilayishwe ngokutsha- ukugawula amaplanga, kwandiswa iindawo ezicoliweyo ezingabonakaliyo kwindlela enkulu edlula eMabira kodwa ebonakala ngokucacileyo emoyeni.
Usuku lwaMahlathi lwaMazwe ngaMazwe kufuneka luthethe into, apha e-Uganda ngakumbi, njengoko sibanga igama elithi, "iPerile yaseAfrika," kodwa kuthatha intando yezopolitiko kunye nomqolo kwelinye icala kunye nokumisa iminikelo yamahlathi ethumela imiqondiso engalunganga kwaye ikhuthaze abazingeli beenkuni ngokungekho mthethweni. enye. Ukhenketho lishishini elikhulu ngoku eUganda kwaye luxhomekeke kakhulu kwindalo engaguqukiyo, kunye namahlathi, iintaka, izilwanyana zasendle, kunye nezirhubuluzi ezifumaneka kwilizwe liphela.
Xa indalo itshatyalaliswa, ukhenketho luya kudilika ecaleni kwalo, kwaye xa ukhenketho lusihla uqoqosho lwethu luya kuba semngciphekweni, kwakhona, i-oyile negesi okanye akunjalo, ngaphandle kokuba siya kuhlala ngokonwaba ngonaphakade kwindawo eyinkangala apho ukutya namanzi nomoya omtsha ungenakho. ixesha elide lithathwa njengento eqhelekileyo.
I-NFA, ngokwemithombo enolwazi malunga nalo mbandela, ineentloni ukuvala iimpondo ngamandla akhoyo, kwaye ngelixa irekhodi libonisa inkcaso ekrakra kwinto eyenzekayo kumahlathi ase-Uganda, kunzima ukuba nesibindi sokuma kwigunya elichongiweyo, zoba umgca entlabathini, kwaye uxelele abezopolitiko ukuba babe nobuganga bokuwela baze bajongane nengalo yomthetho. Ke ngoko, amagosa e-NFA anombono olungileyo wento eqhubekayo ngokugawulwa kwemithi ngokungekho mthethweni kodwa kufuneka anyathele kumaqokobhe amaqanda endaweni yokuhlanganisa kunye nokukhokelela abakhweli bamahashe kwiindawo ekuthethwa ngazo, bathathe abo bafunyenwe bevalelwe kwaye babamangalele enkundleni, ngelixa kwangaxeshanye usiya kubaxhasi bezimali kunye namadoda aphakathi, kanye njengokuba kufanele kwenziwe kubazingeli beendlovu ngokungekho mthethweni.
Ngaba kuninzi kakhulu ukucela ukukhusela indalo yethu esele ilungelelene kwizizukulwana ezizayo okanye ngaba namhlanje sibeka ikamva labantwana babantwana bethu esibambisweni ngentshabalalo engenakuguqulwa? Ixesha liya kuxela - ndiyathemba ukuba wawuwole umthi ngoSuku lweHlabathi lwaMahlathi, okanye utyale ngcono ezimbalwa.
