Isikhulu sezokuvikela imingcele ye-EU siyashiya esikhundleni ngenxa yenkinga yabafuduki engekho emthethweni

UFabrice Leggeri, inhloko ye-European Border and Coast Guard Agency, eyaziwa nge-'Frontex,' umemezele ukwesula kwakhe esitatimendeni esitholwe yimithombo yezindaba eminingi.

"Ngibuyisela igunya lami kwiBhodi Labaphathi njengoba kubonakala sengathi [igunya] leFrontex engikhethwe ngalo futhi ngavuselelwa ngasekupheleni kukaJuni 2019 lishintshiwe buthule kodwa ngempumelelo," kusho uLeggeri esitatimendeni sakhe.

Ukusula kwesikhulu esiphezulu se-EU sokuvikela imingcele kulandela uphenyo lweminyaka engaphezu kwemi-2 olwenziwa yi-LHReports phakathi kwezinsolo zokuthi ukwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu kwenzeka ngaphansi kweso laso, okuhlanganisa nezinsolo zokuphathwa kabi kwabokufika abafika endaweni ye-bloc.

Okokuqala I-Frontex induna iwaphikile amacala phambilini, kanti iPhalamende laseYurophu lakhipha umbiko ngalolu daba ngonyaka odlule. 

Ngenkathi i-ejensi yaseYurophu elwa nokukhwabanisa yethula uphenyo ngezinsolo zokuhlukumeza ngonyaka odlule, okutholakele akukakadalulwa. Kodwa-ke, uphenyo olwenziwa yinhlanganisela yemithombo yezindaba yesifunda luveze ukuthi iFrontex yayazi okungenani izehlakalo ezingama-22 'zokududuza' kwabafuduki, lapho iziphathimandla zabokufika bavele baphoqa abafuna ukukhoseliswa, abafika ngesikebhe, babuyela olwandle. 

Lezi 'pushbacks' ezingama-22 zenziwe yizikhulu zeFrontex kanye nezaseGreece futhi zibandakanya abokufika abangaphezu kuka-950, konke okwenzeka phakathi kukaMashi 2020 noSepthemba 2021, kubika abezindaba - phakathi kwabo kukhona iDer Spiegel yaseJalimane, iLe Monde yaseFrance, iSRF et Republik yaseSwitzerland kanye nophenyo. Imibiko ye-NGO Lighthouse.

UFrontex ubize umhlangano ophuthumayo ngoLwesine nangoLwesihlanu ukuze kudingidwe izinsolo ezibhekiswe kuLeggeri nabanye abasebenzi ababili kule nhlangano.

"Ibhodi labaphathi lizibonile izinhloso zakhe laphetha ngokuthi ukuqashwa kuphelile," kusho uFrontex esitatimendeni, wengeza ngokuthi uLeggeri wesule ngokusemthethweni ngoLwesine.

Ichazwa njenganoma iyiphi inqubomgomo kahulumeni lapho “abafuduki bephoqelelwa ukuba babuyele emngceleni… ngaphandle kokucabangela izimo zabo ngabanye futhi ngaphandle kokukwazi ukufaka isicelo sokukhoseliswa,” EU umthetho uyakwenqabela 'ukuhlehla' mayelana nokukhathazeka okuzobeka izimpilo zabantu engozini, njengoba abafuduki abaningi bevela ezikebheni ezingafanele ukusetshenzwa nasezihlengeni kulandela uhambo olude.

Umthetho wamazwe ngamazwe nawo uvamise ukuvala “ukubuyisela kabusha,” noma ukubuyisela ngenkani ababaleki ezweni lapho abangase basengozini yokushushiswa khona.
