(eTN) – Isungulwe uhulumeni weRiphabhulikhi yaseYemen, ngokwesekwa yiKhomishini YaseYurophu, iNational Hotel & Tourism Institute (NAHOTI) namuhla idlala indima ebalulekile ekubumbeni nasekuqeqesheni intsha yase-Yemeni ngokwamukela izihambi nezokuvakasha.
UDean we-NAHOTI ozinze e-Sana'a u-Khaled Alduais ukholelwa ukuthi inhlangano yakhe izothuthukisa ikusasa lezokuvakasha e-Yemen, kanti lesi sikhungo sizoba yinsiza ebalulekile ehlinzeka izimakethe zendawo nezesifunda ngabasebenzi abaqeqeshwe kahle ehhotela nakwezokuvakasha. Uthe i-NAHOTI ifeza isidingo esikhulu ekuthuthukisweni kwabasebenzi emkhakheni wezokuvakasha, osebenza njengesikhungo sokuqeqesha amakhono, kanye nebhizinisi lezohwebo ngokusebenzisa ihhotela lesicelo.
“Ngokunikeza indawo ephephile, evikelekile nefanele bonke ababambiqhaza, sinikeza wonke umfundi ithuba lokuthola ulwazi olufanele, olusesikhathini samanje ekusebenzeni kwamahhotela nokuvakasha kwamazwe ngamazwe, ukuthuthukisa amakhono abo ngezidingo zamanje nezesikhathi esizayo. I-NAHOTI ukuphela kwesikhungo sokuqeqesha sezinga eliphezulu e-Yemen esinikeza ukuqeqeshwa kwethiyori nokwemisebenzi kwezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha. Ikwazi ukuthatha abafundi abangama-240 ngonyaka,” kusho u-Alduais.
I-NAHOTI inikeza ama-diploma amabili ekupheleni kohlelo lokufunda lweminyaka emibili: eyodwa yezinsizakalo zokungenisa izihambi (umqhubi wesevisi yezihambi) kanti enye, yezinsizakalo zezokuvakasha (umqhubi wesevisi yezokuvakasha). “Ngaphakathi kwesigaba sokwamukela izivakashi, abafundi bangochwepheshe emikhakheni emine: ihhovisi elingaphambili, ukudla nesiphuzo, ukunakekela izindlu, ukukhiqiza ukudla. Ngemuva kokuphothulwa kwesemester eyodwa, abafundi bathola isitifiketi emfundweni ethathwe. Ingxenye yezokuvakasha inamakilasi ajwayelekile ngonyaka wokuqala futhi iqhubekela esimisweni sokuqeqeshwa okusebenzayo, okungcono ngaphandle kwe-NAHOTI, noma ihlukaniseke emikhakheni emibili eyisipesheli yomsebenzi wokuvakasha kanye nokuqondisa izivakashi,” kusho u-Alduais. Ngemva kokuhlolwa kokugcina, abathweswe iziqu bathola idiploma kazwelonke eMnyangweni Wezemfundo Yezobuchwepheshe Nokuqeqeshwa Kwezandla.
Amaqiniso adabukisayo futhi asabekayo
Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi abantu babone ukuthi i-NAHOTI mhlawumbe isinyathelo esisodwa esibalulekile sokuguqula, “ukuhlanza” nokuqhubekela phambili.
Esikhathini esingeside esidlule, iScotland Yard yaphenya umholi wamaphekula u-Abu Hamza ngezinsolo zokusebenzisana neqembu eliyingozi laseYemeni uJaysh Adan Abyan al-Islami, elathumba abavakashi baseNtshonalanga ngoDisemba 1998 labulala abane kubo. Iziphathimandla zase-Yemeni ziphinde zasola u-Hamza ngokuqasha amadoda angu-10, kuhlanganise nendodana yakhe, futhi wabathumela eYemen ukuze bayohlasela i-US. Indodana yaboshwa yagqunywa ejele. U-Abu Hamza, nokho, wakhululwa ngenxa yokuntuleka kobufakazi. Ezokuvakasha zanqamuka.
Izikhulu zendawo zathi ngesibindi, iYemen yagqama ekulweni nobuphekula ngemuva kuka-9/11. Iziphathimandla zikuqinisekisile ukuthi nakuba iRiphabhulikhi seyiphendulwe inkundla yempi ngabashokobezi, uhulumeni walwa kanzima.
Inxusa laseYemeni liqinisekise umthelela omkhulu wobuphekula emhlabathini walo. Ezokuvakasha zangena ngemuva kochungechunge lokuhlasela kusukela ngo-1997 ngesikhathi kuqhuma ibhomu emotweni eyayithwele i-TNT engamakhilogremu angu-68 e-Aden. Izikhungo zezivakashi zithinteke kabi kanye nezikhungo zezokuvakasha, amahhotela, izindawo zokudlela eziphathelene nezivakashi, izitolo zezikhumbuzo nezitolo ngenxa yokwehla okukhulu kwenani labavakashi kusukela ngo-1999 kulandela isigameko sase-Abyan ngoDisemba 1998. Ukufika kwezivakashi kwehle ngamaphesenti angama-40 ngo-1999 kusukela ngo-1998.
Ngokusho kwehhovisi lenxusa, amaphesenti angama-90 okubhukha okwenziwe namahhotela nama-ejensi kwakhanselwa; ukuhlalwa kwehle kwafinyelela okungenani kumaphesenti ayi-10 emahhotela amaningi, ama-ejensi, ezindaweni zokudlela; imisebenzi eminingi yezokuthutha izivakashi yavalwa; izindiza zakwamanye amazwe nezama-Arab zimise izindiza eziya eriphabhulikhi. Kube nokudilizwa okukhulu ezinkampanini zezokuvakasha kulandela ukusimama okuqinile embonini ngenxa yokuhlaselwa kwe-USS Cole ethekwini lase-Aden kanye nomkhumbi kawoyela waseFrance i-Limburg echwebeni i-Al Daba e-Al-Mukala, e-Hadhramount.
Ihhovisi lenxusa libike ukuthi imali yezivakashi kusukela ngo-1998 kuya ku-2001 yehle yafinyelela kumaphesenti angama-54. Noma kunjalo, i-World Travel and Tourism Council yabonisa ukuthi i-T&T yomuntu eya e-Yemen yaba namandla kanye nokuhamba kwebhizinisi, okunomthelela omkhulu ku-GDP kanye nokukhula kwemisebenzi ngo-7 kwathumela ukukhula okubalulekile ngo-2004. Ukusetshenziswa kwezimali kukahulumeni kukhuphuke kancane, kodwa ukutshalwa kwezimali kwezimali kwahlala kumile.
NgoJanuwari 2004, uMongameli Bush wancoma imizamo kaMongameli Ali Abdullah Saleh yokulwa nobuphekula. Ibona imizamo ye-Yemen yokuqonda intando yeningi, iWashington yagunyaza i-Yemen njengozakwethu ophumelelayo ekulweni nobuphekula kulandela imicimbi yangoSepthemba 11 - ngemuva kokuthi i-republic yethule umkhankaso wokuqeda ukusebenza kwe-Al-Qaida. Amalungu angamaphekula athweswe icala.
UNgqongqoshe Wamalungelo Abantu baseYemeni u-Amat Abdel Alim al Sousouwa, naye owake waba yinxusa laseYemen eHague eNetherlands, utshele i-eTurbo News: “I-Yemen iba ngcono nsuku zonke. Umuntu angeza azozibonela kodwa, kunjalo, kube khona izexwayiso kumasayithi emishini ethile yobunxusa njengeNxusa leNxusa laseMelika ku-net. Sekukonke, sinesibalo esikhulu sabavakashi abavela emazweni aseNtshonalanga.”
I-Yemen ibivame ukuba yinkundla yezenzo zobuphekula ezimbalwa kusukela ngo-2000 ngisho nangaphambi kwezehlakalo zikaSepthemba 11. “I-Yemen yayiqondiswe ku-USS Cole, ukuqhuma kweLimburg, iNxusa LaseBrithani kanye nezigameko eziningi kangangokuthi abantu bacabanga ezingqondweni zabo, ukuqhuma kwamabhomu. kubangelwe ubushokobezi bangaphakathi,” kusho u-Alim. Ukunezela, “Kuye kwaba nezizatho zamaqembu athile enkolo aveza ukwakhiwa kodonga, uma uthanda.”
U-Alim ukhulume ngesigameko esenzeka e-El Hadaq engxenyeni esenyakatho yeYemen, nawo wonke umehluko emhlabeni. Uthe abashokobezi bafuna “ukukhuluma iqiniso eliphelele, ukuthola amandla ngokuketula umthetho njengoba befanele ukuba umthetho.” Ngokuka-Alim, “Ingqondo yabo yayidinga ukuthi sibheke umlando kanye nezizathu zokuthi kungani bezibophezele - abazange bathuthuke ngokusobala ngaphandle kwesikhala. Babekhona ukuzocasha, ngeshwa yayingekho indlela yokubabethela phansi noma yokulandelela futhi baqaphe ukusebenza kwabo kusukela ekuqaleni kokuba khona kwabo.”
Izikhulu zase-Yemen azizange zibone ukuthi leli thonya elimnyama lalilikhulu futhi lijule kangakanani. “Abantu balahlekelwe ukuphila [kanye nemindeni]. Abanye babecabanga ukuthi liyini ithemba elikhona ngabo [lapho konke sekungasekho]. Wububha ezweni ababona ukuthi ngeke bakwazi ukukunqoba empilweni yabo. Ubumpofu budinga umsebenzi omkhulu kanye nomzamo wokubuqeda,” kwengeza u-Alim.
Kungakho izikhungo zentsha, njenge-NAHOTI, mhlawumbe zingaguqula indlela intsha yase-Yemeni ekhuliswa ngayo. Bavimbele ekunikezeni ohlelweni kanye nesilingo, ngoba, ekugcineni, akusona yini isikhathi sezokuvakasha, esikhundleni sobuphekula, esiphakela imilomo namaphakethe ase-Yemeni?
