IDamasko - Izohlwayo zase-US eDamasko ziqhwalelise uphuhliso lwenqwelomoya yelizwe laseSyria Airlines, kwaye kuye kwafuneka ukuba irhoxise ii-odolo zeenqwelomoya ezintsha ze-Airbus, uMphathiswa wezoThutho uYaarob Badr uthe ngoLwesibini.
I-Syria ayikwazi ukubeka ii-odolo zeenqwelomoya ezintsha "ngenxa yezohlwayo zase-US" ezibekwe yiWashington ngo-2004, u-Badr ucatshulwe esithi kwiphephandaba elisemthethweni i-Al-Baath.
"Iinqanawa zaseSyria zinciphile ukusukela oko iiBoeing 727s kunye ne747s zaye zayeka ukusebenza kwaye (ezinye) iinqwelomoya zamazwe ngamazwe zanqunyanyiswa," utshilo uBadr. Akazange anike iinkcukacha ngenani leenqwelo-moya zomphathi welizwe.
I-SSA, ekwabizwa ngokuba yiSyrian Air, yaziwa ngokuba ineenqwelomoya ze-Airbus ezintandathu kunye nezisibhozo ezakhiwe yi-Boeing Co. (BA). Indawo yeWebhu yenqwelo moya ibonisa imifanekiso yeAirbus A320s kunye neBoeing 727s kunye ne747s.
U-Badr uthe inqwelo moya kufuneka ichithe iodolo ye-Airbus kwiminyaka yakutshanje kuba “umenzi waseYurophu akakwazanga ukuhambisa amaxwebhu afunwa yi-US kwangethuba.
"Inkampani ijongene nemeko enzima kuba inani leenqwelomoya liye lawa kwaye kuya kuba nzima ukuqala iindlela ezintsha zokuhamba ngeenqwelomoya," utshilo u-Badr. "I-SSA iya kunyanzeleka ukuba imise ezinye iinqwelomoya."
U-Badr uthe nangona kunjalo i-SSA ibithethathethana neqela elingachazwanga ukuba liqeshise iinqwelomoya, kwaye wathi umntu wokuqala waseSyria wabucala, 'uSouria Louloua,' uza kuqalisa iinqwelomoya ehlotyeni.
I-US yaqala yabetha uluhlu lwezohlwayo zezoqoqosho eSyria ngoMeyi ka-2004, kubandakanya ukuvalwa kokuthunyelwa kwempahla ethile eDamasko kunye nokumiswa kwempahla yaseSyria. Yayandisa ngo-Epreli ka-2006 yaza yayandisa ngoFebruwari ukuya kumagosa abandakanyekayo “kurhwaphilizo lwasesidlangalaleni,” phakathi kwezityholo iDamasko yayidodobalisa i-Iraq neLebhanon.
Ekuqaleni kwale nyanga, uMongameli uGeorge W. Bush uthe uyasongeza izohlwayo ngonyaka omnye emva kokuba uWashington etyhola iDamasko ngokwakha isixhobo senyukliya ngoncedo lwaseNorth Korea. ISyria isikhabile eso sityholo.
