Ukudilika komhlaba e-Mt. Elgon kubulala inqwaba yabantu basemaphandleni

Kulandela imvula enamasonto amaningi nezinsuku zemvula enamandla engxenyeni esempumalanga ye-Uganda, ukubhidlika komhlaba okukhulu emithambekeni yeNtaba i-Elgon kwenzeke izolo, kwadlula nemiphefumulo yabantu abacishe babe yi-100 okuqinisekiswe ukuthi bashonile ngesikhathi sokushicilela, kanti abanye abangamakhulu kusatshwa. ukuba babhubhe, futhi, njengoba behlala bengekho esibalweni sabasindile.

Izigodi ezintathu seziphelele zaqedwa kuleyo ndawo, ezaziwa ngokuthi isifunda esincane saseBukalasi. Laba abadukile kubikwa ukuthi bahlanganisa nezingane zesikole ezibalelwa ku-100 ebezikhosele kwesinye sezigodi ngenxa yemvula enamandla ezigugulwe amanzi, udaka namatshe ehla entabeni.

Isikhungo sezempilo, esiphakathi kwezigodi, sikhukhulwe naso, okuhlanganisa iziguli nabasebenzi abahlengikazi, okwenza usizo lokuqala lwabasindile abalimele ngendlela engenakwenzeka ngemva kwenhlekelele.

Lapho izindaba ziqhubeka phansi entabeni, abezokuphepha base-Uganda, amaphoyisa, namasosha athumela ngokushesha amasosha ayesekelwa igatsha laseMbale le-Red Cross Society nezinye izinhlangano ezisiza abampofu ezifanayo ezafika endaweni yenhlekelele nempahla namatende ukuze zithole indawo yokukhosela. kwabasindile futhi ubaphakele ngokudla okushisayo.

Ngemuva kokuhlola indawo kanye nomonakalo, kwathiwa kukhishwe nezinye izigodi, njengoba imifantu esezintabeni kanye nezimvula ezinamandla kwandisa amathuba okudilika kwenhlabathi. Ongqongqoshe bakahulumeni kanye nabaphathi bezindawo banikezwe umsebenzi wokuhlinzeka ngosizo nosizo olungekho emthethweni, kanti uMengameli uMuseveni useveze ukuthi uzohambela le ndawo ukuyothamela inkonzo yesikhumbuzo ngemuva kokuzihlolela mathupha imizamo yokusiza esizeni.

Imibiko yokwenyuka kokudilika komhlaba iphinde yatholwa ebusuku kwezinye izingxenye zeNtaba i-Elgon, ehlaselwe yimvula emasontweni edlule, nokuholele ekutheni izinhlangano ezisizayo zinxuse ukuthi kuphume wonke amadolobhana asezintabeni eziphakeme aye ezindaweni eziphephile kuze kunqamuke izimvula nezimvula. ingozi yokudilika kwenhlabathi okuseduze izodamba njengoba umhlabathi woma futhi.

Imithombo ye-Uganda Wildlife Authority, ephikelela ukuthi kudalulwe igama layo, iphinde yaveza intatheli ukuthi indawo ethintekile ibingaphakathi esiqiwini kodwa ike yagqekezwa, abantu bakule ndawo begawula izihlahla belima ezindaweni eziphakeme, okungenzeka ukuthi kube nomthelela. ngezinga elikhulu lenhlekelele. Umthombo uthe uma sekubhekwane nemiphumela yale nhlekelele, bazophinda baqinise imizamo yabo yokuhlalisa abagebengu futhi bathole izindawo eziphephile ezikude nezindawo ezivame ukuba nezinhlekelele zemvelo. Le ntatheli izwakalisa ukuzisola nokuzwelana kwayo yonke imindeni nabangane abashonile futhi ithandazela abashonile.
