Ubhubhane we-COVID-19 ukhubaze uqoqosho lwamazwe aliqela, ngeziphumo ezibi kakhulu ezivakala kwezoqoqosho oluncinci ngakumbi abo baxhomekeke kukhenketho nasekuhambeni kwabantu. Ewe, ezi mpawu zimbini zichaza onke amazwe e Caribbean, kwaye ngenxa yoko, ngokwembono yezoqoqosho, iiCaribbean iyeyona yenye yezona ndawo zibethekileyo kwihlabathi. Ngethamsanqa, ubukhulu becala, njengommandla sikwazile ukulawula ukusasazeka kwentsholongwane kubantu bendawo yethu. Oku kuphunyezwe ngokuphunyezwa kweendlela ezingqingqwa zolawulo ezahluka ukusuka kurhulumente ukuya kurhulumente, kwaye zibandakanyiwe kwiimeko ezininzi, ukuvalwa okwethutyana kwemida yamazwe.

Kwikota yokugqibela ye-2020, uninzi lwamazwe akwiCaribbean ayivulile imida yawo kwaye uninzi lwamazwe avulwe kwakhona sele eqalile ukwamkela ukhenketho lwezorhwebo kunye nabatyeleli kunxweme lwabo. Kuzo zonke iimeko, le nkqubo yenziwe ngaphakathi kwemida yeeprotokholi eziyilelwe ukuxhasa iziseko zempilo zelizwe.

Amabali abonisa le nkqubo yolawulo losulelo kunye nokuvula kwakhona imida ebusweni besibini kunye nesithathu samaza okusasazeka kwentsholongwane kwiimarike zethu eziphambili, zithetha ngokubanzi malunga nokuziqhelanisa kwabantu bethu kwaye ngakumbi malunga necandelo lokuhamba nokhenketho kwiCaribbean ayinikwanga kukhetha, ngaphandle kokuchonga ngokukhawuleza, ukufunda nokuziqhelanisa nokutshintsha kwemeko-bume esiye sahlangabezana nayo kwiinyanga ezili-12 ezidlulileyo.

Ngokusekwe kolo luqikelelo sinokulindela iimeko 'eziqhelekileyo' ngaphaya kukaDisemba 2021. Ewe kunjalo, umbono wethu 'oqhelekileyo' uhlanganiswe nembono yokuba amanyathelo esiwenzileyo ukulawula ukusasazeka kwentsholongwane anokuhlala kuthi ixesha elingenammiselo.

Ngelixa ubhubhane usongele icandelo lezokhenketho kwiCaribbean, ikwadale nethuba lokuba sivavanye icandelo kwaye siphumeze iintshukumo ebezinzima kule minyaka ingamashumi amabini ukuya kumashumi amathathu edlulileyo yokhenketho oluninzi.
