Ingcaphephe yezolwandle: Uhlaselo oluninzi lweepirate kwiinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa ezizayo

Uhlaselo lwe-brazen pirate kule veki kwinqanawa yokuhamba ngenqanawa kwi-Gulf of Aden yayingeyona nto, kwaye ishishini lokuhamba ngeenqanawa kufuneka lizilungiselele iingxaki ezikhulayo kummandla, ingcali ekhokelayo kwisihloko.

"I-genie iphumile ebhotileni," utshilo uDoug Burnett, igqwetha laselwandle kunye negosa lomkhosi waselwandle esele lisidla umhlala-phantsi elibandakanyeka kumcimbi wobuqhetseba iminyaka. "Siza kubona ngakumbi kolu hlaselo."

UBurnett, iqabane kushishino lwaselwandle kwifem yomthetho yehlabathi iSquire, Sanders & Dempsey, uxelele I-USA TODAY ukuba abaphangi baseSomalia kulo mmandla baye bomelela kwezi nyanga zidlulileyo emva kwempumelelo emangazayo yokuqweqwedisa iinqanawa ukuze bahlawule, kwaye ngoku bazingela. ngokuba amaxhoba atyebileyo.

“Kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo abaphangi baqala ukufumana iintlawulo ezinkulu, kwaye sithetha ngezigidi zeedola,” utshilo uBurnett. “Abajolisanga ngokuthe ngqo kwiinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa, kodwa ukuba inqanawa yokuhamba ngenqanawa iza ngendlela yabo, yinto ekujoliswe kuyo. Inqanawa yabakhenkethi ayiboyiki.”

Abaphangi baye bafunda ukuba amagunya omkhosi wamanzi aneenqanawa kummandla onje nge-United States akayi kuzimisa ngenxa yemithetho engqongqo yothethathethwano.

UBurnett uthi: “Baye bafunda ukuba iinqanawa zemfazwe azinakubenza nto. “Unemeko engaqhelekanga yepirate enengxaki yengqondo edubula kwinqanawa yemfazwe, kwaye (kuphela) emva koko unomlilo womlilo. Akukho nto ingako isezantsi (ekuhambeni ngenqanawa okanye ngenqanawa yemithwalo), ke bayahlasela. "

UBurnett uthi abaphangi baphucukile kakhulu kunangaphambili, kwaye urhanela ukuba basebenzisa izixhobo zombane ukuze baphucule iimpawu ezithunyelwa ziinqanawa ukuze bazazise omnye komnye.

Esondela kwizikhephe ezincinci ezingabonakalisi kwirada, “zinokungena enqanaweni malunga nemizuzu eli-15,” utshilo. “Baza kusondela kwindawo engaboniyo kwaye amaxesha amaninzi into yokuqala ebonwa ngabasebenzi (ekufikeni kwabo) kuxa bevula ucango kwaye kukho umfana ophethe i-AK-47.”

Iinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa zineengenelo ezininzi ngaphezulu kweenqanawa zemithwalo kunye neetanki ze-oyile ekubalekeni abaphangi baseSomalia, utshilo uBurnett. Ukuqala, iinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa ziyakhawuleza kwaye ngokubanzi zinokubaleka i-pirate skiffs ukuba zizibona ngexesha. Iinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa nazo zinamalungu abasebenzi abaninzi kakhulu abanokubekwa esweni.

Sekunjalo, uBurnett uthi imigca yokuhamba ngenqanawa inokufuna ukwenza utshintsho oluthile kwindlela abanqumla ngayo iGulf of Aden, kuquka ukutshintshela kuhambo lwasebusuku (lonke uhlaselo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku lwenzekile emini, uthi), ukubaleka ngesantya esiphezulu kwaye ulinde umkhosi wamanzi. ukukhapha ukubakhusela.

Ngelixa uMkhosi waManzi wase-US kunye namanye amagunya omkhosi wamanzi aneenqanawa kwi-Gulf beququzelela iinqwelo ezikhuselweyo ukuba zidlule kule ndawo, ezinye "iinqanawa azithandi (zilindele) kuba zinokululahla ishedyuli yazo," utshilo uBurnett.

UBurnett unenkxalabo yokuba impumelelo ekhulayo yobuqhetseba kunxweme lwaseSomalia, ukuba ayilawulwa ngokukhawuleza, inokukhokelela ekuhlaselweni kweekopi kwezinye iindawo zehlabathi. “Ukwanexhala lokuba impumelelo yaba baphangi ekuqokeleleni imali eninzi (kwintlawulo) ngexabiso elincinane kakhulu inokukhuthaza umnxibelelanisi othile kumaqela abanqolobi abaza kukubona oku njengendlela yokufumana imali, ukufumana izihloko zeendaba nokuthatha amanyathelo,” uthi.

Umntu othweswe isidanga kwi-US Naval Academy, uBurnett uchithe iminyaka ejongana nobuqhetseba kunye neminye imiba yaselwandle njengegosa lemisebenzi kunye noMyalelo woMkhosi woLwandle wase-US. Ukwasebenza njengegosa eliphetheyo leYunithi yoLungelelaniso loMkhosi kunye noKhuseleko lweYunithi yokuThunyelwa kweeNqanawa eyabelwe umphathi we-US Fifth Fleet e-Bahrain. Ngoku ungusihlalo weKomiti yeMaritime Law Association kuMthetho waMazwe ngaMazwe woLwandle.

Iinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa, uthi, zijolise ekulingeni, kwaye kungekuphela nje kubaphangi bentlawulelo abanokuzifumana ukuba banokuqweqwedisa enye kulwandle oluvulekileyo. “Imali nje kunye nobucwebe abanokubufumana ngokuphakamisa abakhweli iyahenda. Xa bebona inqanawa yokuhamba ngenqanawa, ezingqondweni zabo, yirejista enye enkulu yemali.”
