INkulumbuso yase-Bhritane yancoma ulandelelwano olukhawulezayo lwe-genomic eMzantsi Afrika kunye nobunkokheli ekwabeleni ngokuphandle ngeenkcukacha zenzululwazi.
Iinkokeli ziphinde zaqinisekisa umanyano olusondeleyo phakathi kwezizwe zethu, olubonakaliswe kwintsebenziswano ye-Just Energy Transition ekuvunyelwene ngayo kwi-COP26, kwaye bavumile ukuhlala benxibelelana ngokusondeleyo njengoko sijongana nosoyikiso oluqhubekayo lobhubhane wehlabathi.
Ngokutsho kwe-UN ye-World Health Organization (WHO), ubungqina bokuqala bukwaphakamisa umngcipheko wokosuleleka kwakhona ngolu hlobo lwenkxalabo, xa kuthelekiswa nezinye iintlobo, ezifana neDelta.
Okwangoku, inani lamatyala libonakala likhula phantse kuwo onke amaphondo aseMzantsi Afrika. I-WHO icacisa ukuba ukwahluka kufunyenwe ngesantya esikhawulezayo kunakwimeko yangaphambili yosulelo, icebisa ukuba "kunokuba nenzuzo yokukhula".
Iingcali zicele amazwe ukuba aphucule uphononongo kunye neenzame zolandelelwano lwe-genome ukuqonda ngcono ukwahluka.
Kukwakho nenani lezifundo eziqhubekayo kunye neqela labacebisi bobugcisa be-arhente, elaziwa ngegama elithi TAG-VE, liza kuqhubeka nokuvavanya lo mahluko. I-WHO iya kunxibelelana ngeziphumo ezintsha kuMazwe angamaLungu kunye noluntu njengoko kufuneka.
Ulwazi lusanqongophele
NgoLwesithathu, i-WHO ye-COVID-19 ekhokelayo kwezobuchwephesha, uGqr Maria Van Kerkhove, uthe ulwazi malunga nokwahluka kwe-'Omicron' ngoku lusanqongophele.
“Kukho ngaphantsi kwe-100 yolandelelwano lwe-genome epheleleyo ekhoyo, asikazi kakhulu malunga noku. Into esiyaziyo kukuba olu tshintsho lunenani elikhulu lotshintsho, kwaye inkxalabo kukuba xa unotshintsho oluninzi kunokuba nefuthe kwindlela intsholongwane eziphatha ngayo ”, utshilo ngexesha le-Q&A kuTwitter.
UGqr Van Kerkhove wachaza ukuba abaphandi ngoku bazama ukufumanisa ukuba ziphi na iinguqu kunye nokuba zithetha ntoni malunga noxilongo, unyango, kunye nogonyo.
“Kuya kuthatha iiveki ezimbalwa ukuba siqonde ukuba le mpembelelo inayiphi na, mninzi umsebenzi oqhubekayo”, wongeze watsho.
'Musa ukucalula'
Kwangoko namhlanje, i-arhente yezempilo ye-UN ibongoze onke amazwe ukuba amkele indlela esekwe kumngcipheko kunye nenzululwazi yokuvalwa kokuhamba okudityaniswe nokwahluka okutsha okuchongiweyo eMzantsi Afrika naseBotswana.
UMnu. Van Kerkhove ubulele abaphandi abasuka kula mazwe ngokwabelana ngokukhululekileyo ngolwazi kwi-arhente yezempilo ye-UN.
“Wonke umntu olapha phandle: musani ukucalula amazwe abelana ngeziphumo zawo ngokuphandle”, uye wabongoza, njengoko amazwe anje ngeBritane, iFrance kunye ne-Israel sele ehambile ukurhoxisa iinqwelomoya ezisuka eMzantsi Afrika nakwiintlanga ezingqongileyo.
Ngokweziphathamandla zezempilo zaseMzantsi Afrika ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, zingaphantsi kwe-100 iimeko zotshintsho olutsha eziqinisekisiweyo, ikakhulu kubantu abatsha abanelona zinga liphantsi logonyo elizweni.
"Amazwe anokwenza okuninzi malunga nokubekwa kweliso kunye nolandelelwano kunye nokusebenza kunye namazwe achaphazelekayo okanye kwihlabathi nakwisayensi ukulwa lo mahluko kwaye siqonde ngakumbi malunga nawo ukuze sazi indlela yokuhamba ... ke okwangoku ukuphumeza amanyathelo okuhamba ukulumkiswa ngokuchaseneyo, isithethi se-WHO uChristian Lindmeier uxelele iintatheli eGeneva.
Zikhusele wena nabanye
Amagosa e-WHO akhumbuze iingcebiso zangaphambili: abantu banokwenza okuninzi ukuzikhusela kwi-COVID, kubandakanya nokuqhubeka nokunxiba imaski kunye nokuphepha izihlwele.
“Wonke umntu okhoyo kufuneka aqonde ukuba okukhona le ntsholongwane ijikeleza kokukhona intsholongwane itshintsha amathuba, kokukhona siyakubona utshintsho,” utshilo uGqr. Van Kerkhove.
“Thola ugonyo xa unako, qiniseka ukuba ufumana ikhosi epheleleyo yeedosi zakho kwaye uqiniseke ukuba uthatha amanyathelo okunciphisa ukuba sesichengeni sakho kwaye uzithintele ekugqithiseni loo ntsholongwane komnye umntu”, wongeze watsho.
