Lokhu, kulandela isinqumo sikahulumeni esiza njengoba izwe libhekene nokugxekwa okwandayo ngemikhawulo yalo eqinile kwabesifazane. Iphephandaba lansuku zonke, elithathwa njengelisondelene nohulumeni waseSaudi, libike ngoMsombuluko ukuthi isekhula evela kuhulumeni waseSaudi egunyaza amahhotela ukuthi amukele abesifazane abangabodwa inqobo nje uma imininingwane yabo ithunyelwa esiteshini samaphoyisa sendawo.
Lesi sinqumo samukelwe ngemuva kocwaningo olwenziwa uMnyango Wezangaphakathi waseSaudi, Ikhomishana Ephakeme Yezokuvakasha kanye neziphathimandla zamaphoyisa ezenkolo ezaziwa ngokuthi iKhomishana Yokusabalalisa Ubuhle Nokuvimbela I-Vice, kubika i-Al Watan.
Lesi isinyathelo esisodwa esikhulu sezigidi zabesifazane baseSaudi abacindezelwe, nalabo abahlala noma abasebenza lapho njengabasebenzi abavela kwamanye amazwe noma abafazi bezisebenzi zezivakashi/zenkontileka - abangamaSulumane noma cha.
Nakuba izindima zendabuko zabesifazane e-Saudi Arabia zishintshile phakathi neminyaka, eceleni kombuso wesimanje, amasiko amaningi asalokhu enjengoba ayenjalo emakhulwini amaningi edlule. Iningi labesifazane baseSaudi bahlala ngasese futhi bafaka iveli ngaphandle kwekhaya. Abakaze babonakale bembulwa ngisho nangaphakathi emzini wabo ngamadoda angaphandle komndeni wabo oseduze. Izivakashi ziyaxwayiswa ukuthi zingaceli noma zigcizelele abesifazane ukuthi basuse amakhanda.
Empilweni yabo ecashile, bavame ukubuka izwe langaphandle ngokusebenzisa ovulanda abadwetshwe ngokhuni ababaziweyo abavumela ithuba lokubona kodwa bangabonakali, njengoba nje izikrini zabo zaphakade, iveli nejazi, zihlinzeka. Emakhaya abo, izivakashi zihlukaniswa ngokobulili emakamelweni ahlukene. Abesifazane abahlangani nabesilisa, kusho uSusan Al Gahtani we-Al Baab. Incwadi esebenzayo yokuziphatha okufanele e-KSA igcizelela ukuthi umuntu akufanele agcizelele um-Arab ukuthi alethe umkakhe kunoma yimuphi umhlangano wokuzijabulisa. Kunamaqembu amabili omphakathi ahlukene angahlangani emibuthanweni yomphakathi.
Izisebenzi zoMbuso eziyizivakashi kufanele zihambisane nemithetho eqinile ngaphansi kwekhodi ye-Islamic, ngaphandle kwalokho zibe sengozini yokuboshwa noma yokuxoshwa. Bonke abesifazane abavunyelwe ukushayela eSaudi, ngisho namabhayisikili. Izinkampani zezindiza zixwayisa abantu besifazane ukuthi bangagqolozeli abesilisa, ngokuphambene nalokho. Abesilisa akumele baveze ukuthi bayamthakasela umuntu wesifazane ngaphandle uma kuyingoduso. Abesifazane bayelulekwa ukuba bagweme ukuphuma bodwa ukuze baphephe futhi bavikeleke; bangakhulumisani kahle nabayeni babo noma baphume nabangane besilisa, inqobo nje uma beqhelelana.
Ukuhamba bodwa kwabesifazane kumele ngempela ukuthuthukiswa kwesimanje kanye nokulungiselela izinguquko ezikhululekile. Uma lena kuyindlela eyodwa yokuthi iSaudi Arabia igcine izithakazelo zase-US ziphila, kuhle kwabesifazane bendawo. Ngempela, i-KSA ibilokhu izama ukugcina ukuzwana ne-USA.
Phela, sikhuluma ngokutshalwa kwezimali ezigidini zezigidi zamaRandi - lokho kuyinkulungwane yezigidigidi zamaRandi, okwenza cishe amaphesenti ayisishiyagalombili osayizi womnotho waseMelika. Lokhu kusho ukuthi iSaudi Arabia iyakwazi ukubhekana nezinkinga emnothweni waseMelika nganoma yisiphi isikhathi uma inquma ukuhoxisa ukutshalwa kwezimali kwayo kanye nebhizinisi layo lapho. “AmaSaudi kwakuyizwe elihlala ethunzini futhi elingalindele ukuthi umhlaba uphendukele kulo. Kepha kungazelelwe, iSaudi Arabia yazithola isesigabeni lapho wonke amazwe ezama ukuyiheha. Ngenxa yalokho, abakwaSaudi bazithola besenkingeni abangakwazi ukuyixazulula kuze kube yilolu suku: Ingabe kufanele iphendule ezidingweni zenguquko yesimanje emhlabeni wayo noma ibambelele ngokuqinile emasikweni nasemikhubeni yawo yasendulo eyihlanganisile. kodwa ngaphandle kokuyivumela ukuthi ithuthuke?” kubuza uYousra Zahran kaSawt Al-Umma.
Ukutholakala kukawoyela kwaze kwakhulisa lokho kuziqhenya kweSaudi. Amafutha anika amaSaudis umuzwa onamandla onamandla; ukuthi bangaphoqelela abanye ukuba bazithobe entandweni yabo. Kodwa ukuguquguquka kwentengo kawoyela kwabangela ukuba amaSaudis ahlupheke ngenxa yokungaqini kahle kwengqondo yabo kanye nesimilo sabo. Ngokusho kwentatheli yaseMelika uSandra McKay, unkosikazi wenxusa laseMelika elizinze e-KSA iminyaka emine ngeminyaka yama-80s, abakwaSaudi babengasakwazi ukuthi baphethe umhlaba noma umhlaba udlala ngabo.
UMcKay owabhala incwadi ethi The Saudis wathi: “ISaudi Arabia isebenzisa uwoyela wayo ukuze ingazuzi izinzuzo zezomnotho njengoba nje ibusa umhlaba. Ukuzikhukhumeza okubonisa isimo sengqondo saseSaudi kuyabathukuthelisa abaseNtshonalanga futhi kuvimbela amaSaudis ngokwabo ukuthi aqhubekele phambili. Kuphinde kuvalele abesifazane baseSaudi emajele ngenxa yokwesaba ukuthi [abesifazane] bangase bachithe ukuhlonishwa kwamadoda abo. Isikhathi ngasinye lapho abantu baseNtshonalanga beya eSaudi Arabia, bashaqeka ngamandla amaketango athweswe abesifazane.”
UMcKay wachaza ukuthi la maketango awumzamo wokuvimbela abesifazane baseSaudi ukuthi benze okubi futhi akuhlosiwe ukubavikela. Uchaza umphakathi waseSaudi njengomphakathi ozifela ngocansi futhi lokho kuzibekela inqwaba yama-tabo ukuze nje uwaphule. Ukuthi wumphakathi ozama ukuthola yonke into ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa lutho. Intsha izama ukwephula yonke into abayibekela yona ngabadala kanti abadala abazimisele ukuvuma ukuthi sebehlulekile wukulawula ubusha babo. KuMcKay, amaSaudis angabantu abenza kahle ekufihleni ukwesaba nokungabaza kwabo ngemuva kwezifihla-buso zempucuko, kodwa leli khono lokucasha liyanyamalala ngokushesha ngokubonakala kwanoma yiluphi uphawu lokusongela ikusasa labo kanye nokuvikeleka kwabo kwezezimali.
