Ukuvaleleka esiqhingini kungase kuzizwe njengejele kodwa e-Afrika, kuyakhulula.

Esibuyekezweni sakamuva se I-Human Freedom Index, amazwe amathathu aseziqhingini zase-Afrika aqhwakele kuleli zwekazi (iMauritius, iSeychelles neCape Verde).

Nokho, ungajabuli kakhulu. I-Mauritius ingase ibe inombolo yokuqala e-Afrika kodwa ingunombolo 39 jikelele.I-Human Freedom Index iyinani eliyinhlanganisela elisekelwe kwizibalo ezikala inkululeko yezomnotho neyomuntu siqu. KumaLibertarian athanda inkululeko, le nkomba ihlanganisa amazwe angcono kakhulu namabi kakhulu ongahlala kuwo. Ihlanganisa amazwe angu-159 kwangu-193 omhlaba.

Uma ufuna inkululeko enkulu e-Afrika, hamba uye kwesinye seziqhingi zayo ezintathu
(eMauritius, eSeychelles naseCape Verde)

Isimanga esikhulu

Njengenjwayelo, i-Afrika yenze kabi kakhulu. Okujabulisayo wukuthi iSub-Sahara ayiholi emnyangweni wezindaba ezimbi e-Afrika.

Kulokhu, indawo elahlekile e-Afrika yiNyakatho Afrika. Kulapho uthola khona amazwe ase-Afrika angakhululekile kancane. I-Libya, i-Egypt kanye ne-Algeria banamaphuzu enkululeko amancane kunanoma yiliphi izwe eliseningizimu yeSahara. Imvamisa, emiqhudelwaneni eminingi yomhlaba wonke, iSub-Sahara isala ngemuva eNyakatho Afrika. Hhayi ngalesi sikhathi.

Isimanga esikhulu

Ngaphambi kokuthi i-Sub-Sahara ibe nokubhebhetheka kakhulu, amazwe amane ase-Afrika awazange afakwe kulolu cwaningo. Ngokuphawulekayo, wonke amazwe angagcina eseduze noma phansi ohlwini ukube sinedatha kuwo. I-Eritrea, iSomalia kanye namaSudan amabili awahlanganisiwe kulesi simo somhlaba.

Inzuzo yokuphuca yonke inkululeko yabo ukuthi ungamisa izinhlangano zamazwe ngamazwe ekwenzeni noma yiziphi izinhlolovo zezwe lakini. Yingakho iNorth Korea nayo ingafakwanga.

UTanja Porčnik, i-Adjunct Scholar eCato Institute nophinde abe nombhali weHuman Freedom Index, uthe, “I-Eritrea, amaSudan amabili neSomalia awazange afakwe ku-Human Freedom Index ngoba akukho datha eyanele, ikakhulukazi lawa mazwe. azifakiwe ku-World Economic Forum's The Global Competitiveness Report. Ngokusekelwe kudatha etholakalayo kanye nemibiko ehlukahlukene yokwephulwa kwenkululeko kulawa mazwe, isibikezelo sami siwukuthi uma ehlanganisiwe, la mazwe azokleliswa ku-quartile yokugcina ye-Human Freedom Index.”

Ngiyavuma. Ngike ngavakashela wonke amazwe ase-Afrika futhi kubonakala sengathi i-Eritrea izoba iphansi kweqembu.

Kunesizathu esihle sokuthi iziteketiso zayo ezimbili iHermit Kingdom kanye neNorth Korea yase-Afrika.

Khona emsileni wayo kungenzeka kube yiSouth Sudan neSomalia.

Izindaba ezimnandi

Yize iSudan ibingafakwanga kodwa izinto zibukeka zingcono kuleli selokhu abaphathi bakaTrump baqeda unswinyo lwezomnotho. Abaphathi baka-Obama baqale lolu hlelo ngesonto eledlule ehhovisi futhi uTrump, okumangazayo, waliqeda.

I-Sudan ikhuthaza ezokuvakasha kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali. Nokho, ezokuvakasha zaseDarfur azikavuleki kabanzi.

Ezinye izindaba ezimnandi ngezokuthi iBotswana isikhuphuke ngamabala angama-22. Kunconywe njengezinye zezibonelo ezinhle zokuthi izwe lase-Afrika lingaphumelela kanjani. U-Porčnik uyanezela, “Ithemba lenkululeko livela eGambia, lapho ngemva kweminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amabili yokubusa kwengcindezelo kaMongameli uJammeh, owayebhekene nokuboshwa, ukuhlukunyezwa, nokunyamalala kwamalungu amaqembu aphikisayo, izintatheli kanye nezishoshovu zomphakathi, ukunqoba kuka-Adama Barrow okhethweni lukamongameli kuguqula izinto zibe sesimweni esihle. Uhulumeni waseGambia uqinisekisa inkululeko eyengeziwe nangokwengeziwe kubantu babo, futhi ngokukhulula iziboshwa zezombusazwe.”

LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:

Tanja Porčnik, an Adjunct Scholar at the Cato Institute and co-author of the Human Freedom Index, said, “Eritrea, the two Sudans and Somalia have not been included in the Human Freedom Index because sufficient data coverage does not exist, notably these countries are not included in the World Economic Forum’s The Global Competitiveness Report.
Porčnik adds, “Hope for freedom comes from the Gambia, where after more than two decades of the oppressive rule of President Jammeh, which was responsible for imprisonments, torture, and disappearances of the members of the opposition, journalists, and civil society activists, the presidential election victory for Adama Barrow is turning things in the positive direction.
Based on the data available and various reports on the violations of freedoms in these countries, my prediction is that when included, these countries will rank in the last quartile of the Human Freedom Index.
