Amazwe amane ase-Afrika anxusa uHulumeni kaMasipala waseTokyo ukuba avale imakethe yawo yezinyo lendlovu ngaphambi komhlangano wamathimba ozohlola lolu daba.

Encwadini ebhalelwe u-Yuriko Koike, uMbusi waseTokyo, abamele ohulumeni baseBurkina Faso, eLiberia, eNiger naseSierra Leone babhala: “Ngokombono wethu, ukuvikela izindlovu zethu ekuhwebeni ngezinyo lendlovu kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi izinyo lendlovu laseTokyo libaluleke kakhulu imakethe ivaliwe, kusale okuhlukile kuphela.

"Ngenkathi izinga lokuhweba eJapane lehlile kusukela ekuphakameni kwawo ngeminyaka yama-1980, ukuba khona okuqhubekayo kwemakethe enkulu evulekile yaseJapan kunomthelela ebunzimeni bokuzingelwa ngokuzingela ngokungemthetho, ngokuqondile nangokungaqondile, okukhuthaza ukuvusa ukufunwa okuqhubekayo kwezinyo lendlovu lapho ezinye izimakethe zivala vikela izindlovu. ”

The Ibhodi Yezokuvakasha yase-Afrika (i-ATB) usekela ngokuqinile umzamo walolu hlelo olwenziwa yiBurkina Faso, iLiberia, iNiger, neSierra Leon, kusho uCuthbert Ncube, uSihlalo we-ATB, njengamanje ekuvakasheni okusemthethweni e-Ivory Coast.

Ngo-2016, iJapan yavuma ukuvala izimakethe zayo zezinyo lendlovu emhlanganweni we-17 weNgqungquthela Yamaqembu (i-CoP17) eSivumelwaneni se-UN Sokuhwebelana Kwamazwe Ngamazwe Ngezinhlobo Zezilwane Ezisengozini Yezilwane Nezimbali (CITES). Kodwa lezi zincwadi ziphawula ukuthi “yize kunobufakazi obubhalwe phansi bokuhweba okungekho emthethweni namaphutha ahlelekile ekulawuleni ukuhweba kwezinyo lendlovu eJapane, uHulumeni waseJapan akazange athathe isinyathelo sokufeza ukuzibophezela kwakhe nokuvala imakethe yezinyo lendlovu, okusenze sanxenxa ngqo iTokyo ukuba izothatha izinyathelo. ” 

La mazwe amane angamalungu e-African Elephant Coalition, okuyiqembu lamazwe angama-32 ase-Afrika azinikele ekuvikeleni izindlovu zase-Afrika ezibandakanya ukuhweba ngezinyo lendlovu. UMkhandlu Wabadala wabasebenzi wathumela izincwadi ezifanayo kumbusi waseTokyo ngoJuni 2020, wamphonsela inselelo “ngokubeka isibonelo esikhuthazayo samazwe omhlaba, nokuhola iJapane endleleni eqhubekayo yokongiwa kwemvelo.”

Umhlangano olandelayo kahulumeni waseTokyo Ikomidi Elilulekayo Lokulawulwa Kwe-Ivory Trade , obhekene necala lokuhlola ukuhweba kanye nemithetho yedolobha lendlovu, uzoba ngoMashi 29. Umhlangano uvulelekile emphakathini futhi uzosakazwa bukhoma lapha kusuka ku-2: 00 kuya ku-4: 00 PM Isikhathi saseTokyo (07: 00-09: 00 UTC). Umbiko ovela eKomidini Elilulekayo kulindeleke ezinyangeni ezimbalwa.

Izenzo zalo mfelandawonye ziyingxenye yemizamo eqhubekayo yamazwe omhlaba yokunxenxa uMbusi uKoike kanye nekomidi ukuba bavale imakethe yezinyo lendlovu yaseTokyo futhi ifaka nezincwadi ezivela ku:
