KHARTOUM — Izigelekeqe ezithumbe izivakashi ezingu-19 nabantu baseGibhithe ogwadule zibathuthile eSudan zabayisa eLibya, zigqitshwe ngamasosha aseSudan athe ngeke abeke izimpilo zabathumbi engcupheni.
"Abathumbi kanye nezivakashi sebethuthele eLibya, amakhilomitha angaba ngu-13 kuya kwangu-15 (amamayela ayisishiyagalombili kuya kwayisishiyagalolunye) ngaphesheya komngcele," u-Ali Yousuf, umqondisi wezokusebenza eMnyangweni wezangaphandle eSudan, etshela i-AFP.
"Bonke abathunjwa baphile kahle, ngokolwazi lwethu, futhi sisiqaphile isimo... Amasosha asendaweni, kodwa akukho mnyakazo esizokwenza obeka izimpilo zalabo ababoshiwe kunoma iyiphi ingozi."
Iqembu lamaJalimane amahlanu, amaNtaliyane amahlanu kanye nowaseRomania kanye nabashayeli nabaqondisi baseGibhithe abayisishiyagalombili bahlwithwa izigelekeqe ezifihle ubuso ngenkathi besohambeni lwasogwadule ukuze babuke ubuciko bangaphambi komlando endaweni ekude eseningizimu-ntshonalanga ye-Egypt ngoSepthemba 19.
Isikhulu sase-Egypt sithe izigebengu zifuna iJalimane ikhokhe isihlengo sama-euro ayizigidi eziyisithupha (8.8 million dollar).
"IGermany ixhumene nabathumbi, kanti iSudan isaxhumana neziphathimandla zaseGibhithe, Italy, Germany kanye neRomania," kusho uYousuf.
Iziphathimandla zaseLibya zithintwa abe-AFP, zenqabile ukuphawula ngendawo yabathumbi.
Umthombo waseGibhithe ocashunwe yisikhungo sezindaba esisemthethweni i-MENA uthe leli qembu lithuthile “mhlawumbe ngenxa yokushoda kwamanzi endaweni abathunjwe kuyo.”
"Iziphathimandla zaseSudan zisitshele ukuthi (abathunjwa) bathuthelwe eLibya," kusho isikhulu sezokuphepha eCairo, sicela ukungadalulwa. “Asazi noma bayadedelwa yini noma isimo siba sibi kakhulu.”
Umnyakazo wakamuva waleli qembu usho ukuthi libhekise amabombo entshonalanga eduze ne-Jebel Uweinat, indawo eyithafa ephakeme ngamamitha angu-1,900 (6,200-foot-high) elinganiselwa kumakhilomitha angu-30 ububanzi enqamula imingcele yase-Egypt, Libya kanye neSudan.
Ngo-Agasti, abaduni ababili bendiza yaseSudan bazinikela kuziphathimandla zaseLibya ngemuva kokufika eKufra, indawo eshisayo eningizimu-mpumalanga yeLibya futhi ebangeni elingamakhilomitha angama-300 (amamayela angu-200).
Ngokuphambene nendawo engathuthukisiwe yaseGibhithe naseSudan ezungeze i-Jebel Uweinat, uhlangothi lwaseLibya luyakwazi ukuthola imigwaqo futhi luphinde lube khona njalo kwezempi.
I-Egypt ithe iGermany ihola izingxoxo ngonkosikazi waseJalimane wenkampani yezokuvakasha yase-Egypt ongomunye wabadukile. IBerlin ithe nje isisungule ithimba lezinkinga zokuthumba.
Ziningi izibalo ezihlukene ezibalulwe kusukela kwabikwa ukuthi leli qembu lilahlekile ngoMsombuluko.
Leli qembu lithathwe eGilf el-Kabir yase-Egypt engamakhilomitha angu-25 layiswa eSudan layiswa e-Jebel Uweinat, lapho amasosha aseSudan “ayevimbezele khona indawo.”
IKhartoum ithe abathumbi abalimalanga futhi ayizimisele ngokugasela endaweni “ukuze kuphephiswe izimpilo zabantu abathunjiwe.”
Abahambi abaseminyakeni yawo-70 baphakathi kwabathunjwa abagcinwe ogwadule, lapho amazinga okushisa emini angafinyelela ku-40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) ngisho nangoSepthemba.
Indawo yokuthumba iyithafa eliwugwadule elidume ngemidwebo emigedeni yangaphambi komlando, okuhlanganisa “Umhume Wababhukudi” ovezwe kwifilimu yango-1996 ethi “The English Patient.”
Iziphathimandla zize zaqaphela ngokuthunjwa ngoMsombuluko lapho umholi weqembu lezokuvakasha eshayela unkosikazi wakhe ucingo emazisa ngesicelo sesihlengo.
Isikhulu sezokuphepha saseGibhithe sithe abathumbi "kungenzeka ukuthi baseChad" ngemuva kokuthi iSudan ithe babengabaseGibhithe.
Ezinye izikhulu ziphakamise ukuthi abathumbi abavukeli bavela kwesinye sezifunda zaseDarfur ezikhungethwe yimpi eSudan, nakuba amaqembu amaningi amavukelambuso ekuphika lokhu.
Ukuthunjwa kwabantu bakwamanye amazwe kuyivelakancane e-Egypt, nakuba ngo-2001 umGibhithe owayehlomile wabamba izivakashi ezine zaseJalimane izinsuku ezintathu endaweni yokungcebeleka eNayile e-Luxor, efuna unkosikazi wakhe ayehlukana naye abuyise amadodana akhe amabili eJalimane. Wabakhulula ababethunjiwe bengenamyocu.
