Amajoni axhobe ngemijukujelwa neebulldozers asindisa ihlathi elikhuselweyo

Yaba sisiphelo esikhohlakeleyo kwingxaki yexesha elide. Ejamelene nengxaki yokuzama ukusindisa ihlathi elikhuselweyo, elaba likhaya lamawaka abantu, urhulumente waseIvory Coast waphethukela ngamandla.

Kwathunyelwa amajoni, amanye axhobe ngemijukujelwa neebhuldoza ukuze abuyisele ihlathi elikumzantsi-ntshona weNiegre.

Kwiphulo elikhawulezileyo kwinyanga ephelileyo, umkhosi watshabalalisa ngokupheleleyo idolophu encinci yaseBaleko-Niegre, evalelwe kwihlathi elishinyeneyo lengingqi yaseSassandra, malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-360 (iikhilomitha ezingama-225) kwintshona yekomkhulu lezorhwebo i-Abidjan.

Kwasindiswa okuncinane: izindlu zezitena nezindlu zodongwe zadilizwa, yaye isikolo sasekuhlaleni, icawa kunye nemarike zadilizwa. Iinkampu ezinzulu ehlathini nazo zatshatyalaliswa.

Urhulumente uthi eli phulo ibikukukhusela ihlathi lase-Ivory Coast ekuxhatshazweni ngokungekho mthethweni ngabantu, abadla ngokuba ngamafama, abangoonqena umhlaba.

“Urhulumente ugqibe ekubeni abuyisele ulawulo lwamahlathi akhuselweyo, athe atyibilika kuwo iminyaka eli-10,” utshilo uMphathiswa wezaManzi namaHlathi uMathieu Babaud Darret.

Ukufuduswa kwabantu ngoJuni kukholelwa ukuba kushiye abantu abamalunga nama-20,000 abebehleli kulo mhlaba iminyaka bengenamakhaya kunye nemisebenzi.

“Besingene kwihlathi elikhuselweyo sikhangela ukutya,” umfama wasekuhlaleni uRaymond N'Dri Kouadio uxelele iAFP.

Abo babefudukele ehlathini baye benza oko ukuze balime ikoko, i-Ivory Coast ehamba phambili ekuveliseni umhlaba.

ULeon Koffi N'Goran, indoda ekwiminyaka yayo yama-80 ehlala kwihlathi laseNiegre iminyaka engama-28, uvumile ukuba abantu belali babesenza umsebenzi “ofihlakeleyo”.

Kodwa ukukhutshwa "kwakukhohlakele kwaye kwakumangalisa", watsho.

Uninzi lwabo banyanzeleka ukuba babaleke bakhalazela impatho embi ngakumbi.

Amajoni "ade adlwengula amantombazana kwaye ahlutha kum izithuthuthu ezimbini, i-800,000 CFA francs (i-1,200 yee-euro, i-1,600 yeedola)", omnye umhlali uthe.

Amabango odlwengulo ayakhatywa ngabasemagunyeni kwilizwe lasentshona Afrika.

Ukhuseleko lwehlathi: 'umcimbi ophambili'

Urhulumente uthi usebenze njengenxalenye yomgaqo-nkqubo wokubuyisela kwakhona ulawulo lwemithi ekhuselweyo, exhatshazwe ngokungekho mthethweni kwiminyaka elishumi yemvukelo kunye nemfazwe eyakhokelela kubundlobongela emva konyulo kwi-2010-11 eyathi yabulala abantu abayi-3,000.

Ebudeni beminyaka yeenkathazo, abantu abaninzi baqalisa ukuhlala emahlathini, betyeshela isithintelo sikarhulumente sokugubungela amasimi atyebileyo ngezityalo nezilwanyana.

Ngamanye amaxesha, iinkosi zemfazwe zasekhaya zazinokuthi "zibekelwe bucala" iindawo ezipheleleyo ukuze zixhaphaze ubutyebi bazo.

UDarret uqinisekile ukuba ngoku lixesha lokuba kuthintelwe “ukuxhatshazwa nokuxhaphaza ngokungekho mthethweni” malunga neehektare ezizizigidi ezithathu (7.4 bhiliyoni zeehektare) zamahlathi aseleyo eIvory Coast.

Ukhuselo lwamahlathi lwehle kakhulu ukusukela ngeminyaka yoo-1960, xa lwalumi kwi-16 lezigidi zeehektare. Ukutshatyalaliswa kwamahlathi kutyholwa kakhulu kurhwebo lwamaplanga kunye nokukhula kwecandelo le-cocoa.

Umnqweno worhulumente wase-Ivorian wokukhusela amahlathi ayo ubonakala unenkxaso eYurophu.

"Ukusetyenziswa ngokungekho mthethweni kwamahlathi ngumba ophambili we-Ivory Coast," utshilo uThierry de Saint Maurice, intloko yegqiza le-European Union kweli lizwe.

Wongeze ngelithi ulawulo lwamahlathi luzisa imingeni emandla kwimiba “yolawulo” kwaye wacela “imimiselo eyongezelelekileyo kunye nokuhlonelwa kwemithetho”.

Iingcali zolondolozo lwendalo zithi ukusetyenziswa kwamahlathi kuncediswe lurhwaphilizo kwinqanaba likarhulumente.

“Urhwaphilizo lunwenwela njengesilonda esiqhenqethayo phakathi kwamagosa aphuma kumanzi namahlathi” utshilo uPaul N'Goran, osebenzela i-NGO Action for the Conservation of Biodiversity in Ivory Coast.

UN'Goran uthi abasebenzi abaninzi bamasebe “baye bathengisa, ngaphandle kokuphazanyiswa, amakhulu eehektare, nkqu nemimandla yonke yehlathi” kwabezopolitiko nabaphathi kwishishini lamaplanga.

Abasemagunyeni bathi banokubonelela abantu baseNiegre abaphulukene namakhaya abo, nangona kungacacanga ukuba njani.

Abantu abaninzi bale lali baye babalekela kwezinye iindawo, ngokufuthi kwizalamane.

Ngoku abantu abahlala kwamanye amahlathi akhuselweyo nabo boyika ikamva labo.

EMoussadougou, enye ilali enkulu eyakhiwe kwihlathi laseMonogaga, kwintshona yeSassandra, abahlali boyika ukuba iibulldozer ziya kubazisela ngokulandelayo.

Ukuba siyagxothwa, inye kuphela into eseleyo kum: ukulinda ukufa kwam, utshilo uMoussa Diaby oneminyaka engama-70.
