Siyimindeni yaseMelika izihlobo zayo ezabulawa yiLibya ngoSepthemba 1989 ngesikhathi amanxusa aseLibya ebeka ibhomu lepotimende e-UTA Flight 772, eyaqhuma ogwadule lwase-Afrika isendleleni eya eParis, kwashona bonke abantu abangenacala abayi-170. Sikhuluma namuhla ukuze siphikisane nokuphasiswa koMthethosivivinywa "we-Libyan Claims Resolution" osalindwe phambi kweNdlu yabaMeli.
Eminyakeni eyisikhombisa eyedlule, safaka icala ngaphansi komthetho wase-US sokwenza iLibya iziphendulele ngalesi senzo sokubulala nokucekelwa phansi kwezindiza kanye nokuthola indondo yomthetho yesinxephezelo esifanele. I-Libya kanye nabameli bayo balivikele ngamandla leli cala kusukela ekuqaleni, futhi kulo nyaka odlule ngoJanuwari 2008, inkantolo yombuso eWashington, DC yakhipha isahlulelo ngokumelene noMbuso WaseLibya, okuwukuphela kwesinqumo senkantolo yombuso esizonikezwa iLibya emacaleni anjalo. Leso sinqumo senkantolo senza okutholakele okuningiliziwe mayelana nesibopho esiqondile seLibya kulokhu kuhlasela kwamaphekula, ngokusekelwe ebufakazini obuningi obethulwe ngabeluleki bethu nochwepheshe futhi sathola okuningiliziwe kwesinxephezelo esifanelekile sabamangali baseMelika abangu-51 ecaleni, konke okuhambisana nomthetho wase-US kanye nezinye izifundazwe ezifanayo. izinqumo zenkantolo.
Umthethosivivinywa “we-Libyan Claims Resolution Bill” osalindwe phambi kweNdlu yabaMeli, uma uvunyiwe, uzokwephula inhloso yeNgqungquthela okuthe, kusukela ngowe-1996, yasivumela thina nabanye ukuthi siyise udaba lwethu eNkantolo ngokumelene neLibya, sifune ukutholwa kwecala ngokomthetho, futhi uthole umklomelo osemthethweni wesinxephezelo esifanelekile. Ngaphansi komthetho wase-US, kube wumgomo wethu weSizwe ukwenza uxhaso lwaseLibya ngobushokobezi lubize kakhulu ukuze yona nezinye izifundazwe ezifana ne-Iran zicabange kabili ngaphambi kokuba ziqale ukubulala abantu baseMelika abangenacala.
Yebo, siyabeseka labo asebezilungisile izimangalo zabo ngokumelene neLibya futhi sithemba ukuthi bazozuza isilinganiso esigcwele sobulungiswa, kodwa noma yikuphi ukuxazululwa kwabanye abahlukunyeziwe akufanele kube ngezindleko zalabo abaye balwa futhi bawina ezinkantolo. Izinkantolo zinqume ukuthi iLibya ihlasele i-UTA 772 futhi isinikeze isinxephezelo ngaphansi komthetho. Lo Mthethosivivinywa uzosusa isinqumo senkantolo, futhi uvumele i-Libya ukuthi igweme isinqumo senkantolo. Lokhu angeke kube yilokho okuhloswe nguKhongolose. Sinethemba lokuthi uKhongolose uzosebenzisana nazo zonke izisulu zase-US zobushokobezi baseLibya ukuphoqelela izinqumo zenkantolo yase-US egameni labo.
