I-Commonwealth Journalists Association (CJA) idinga ngokuphuthumayo ukukhuthaza inkululeko yabezindaba kanye nokuvikelwa kwezintatheli kulo lonke elase-Commonwealth, kusho uRita Payne, usihlalo wegatsha lase-UK, engxoxweni yaseLondon ngoMashi mayelana nokuguqulwa kwezikhungo zamazwe ngamazwe.

"Thina kwa-CJA sifuna ukuthumela umyalezo ocacile wokuthi sizokwenza konke esingakwenza ukugqamisa ukuhlukunyezwa kwabezindaba emazweni e-Commonwealth futhi sicele ukuthi kujeziswe abaphehli bodlame olubhekiswe ezintathelini," kusho uPayne.

I-Committee to Protect Journalists ezinze eNew York ithi ukwanda kodlame eNingizimu ye-Asia sekubeke izintatheli engcupheni.Abanye eSri Lanka babhekwe ngabomvu umbuso kanti abasePakistan babanjwe phakathi kwamaqembu aphikisayo. Izintatheli zivutha bhe emazweni ase-Afrika okubalwa iKenya neZimbabwe.

Ingxoxo kaMashi, ehlelwe yi-CJA UK kanye ne-Action for UN Renewal futhi ixhaswe yiHhovisi Lezangaphandle laseBrithani, yayinesihloko esithi Isikhathi esiphelayo - ukuguqula izikhungo zomhlaba ngekhulu lama-21. Izikhulumi zibone inkinga yezimali emhlabeni kanye nokukhethwa kukaMengameli Obama njengethuba loshintsho olukhulu. U-Vijay Mehta we-Action ye-UN Renewal wayibiza ngomzuzu ka-Obama. Sinethuba lokwenza okuthile. Asikwenze."

U-Vijay Mehta ucele ukuba kube nomphakathi womhlaba ongabulali, ongenalo udlame. Wayefuna abaholi bezombusazwe bayeke i-ajenda yabo kazwelonke bavune i-ajenda yomhlaba wonke. Wayefuna izikhungo ezintsha zomhlaba wonke zinciphise ubumpofu futhi zinciphise imiphumela yokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu. Uphinde waphakamisa ukuthi amazwe asezifundeni ezahlukene emhlabeni kumele akhe izimali ezifanayo ezifundeni zawo, njengoba kwenze i-Europe.

ULord (David) Owen, owayengunobhala wezangaphandle waseBrithani, waphikisa ngokuthi ubulungu boMkhandlu Wezokuphepha we-UN kufanele buhlanganise umbuso wentando yeningi omkhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni, i-India, kanye neJapane, iJalimane, iBrazil kanye nommeleli wase-Afrika ozokhethwa yi-Afrika ngokwayo. Wayefuna i-UN ibe namabutho okugcina ukuthula angasabela ngokushesha. Lokho kwakudinga izindiza zokuthutha kanye nezindiza ezinophephela emhlane.

UJesse Griffiths, umxhumanisi we-Bretton Woods Project efuna ukuthonya iBhange Lomhlaba kanye ne-IMF, wabuza: “Singakwazi kanjani ukwenza uhlelo lwezezimali lomhlaba lusisebenzele?”

Ucele ukuthi kube nohlelo lwamazwe ngamazwe lwemisebenzi, ubulungiswa nesimo sezulu. Ukuhlola ukufudumala kwembulunga yonke kudinga izinguquko ezibalulekile ngo-2020, kusasele iminyaka eyishumi nje kuphela. Besingawuphatha kanjani umnotho onekhabhoni ephansi? Besingawaphatha kanjani amanani okushintshanisa, sakhe umbolekisi osebenza ngempumelelo wesinyathelo sokugcina futhi sinikeze izwe ngalinye izwi ezinqumweni zamazwe ngamazwe?

UDkt. Indrajit Coomaraswamy, owayengumqondisi wezomnotho e-Commonwealth Secretariat, wayefuna izinhlaka zomhlaba zihlanganise konke. IQembu lamazwe amakhulu angama-20 libe ngcono ku-G8. Kepha amaphesenti angama-40 abantu bomhlaba abengaphandle kwe-G20. Amazwe amancane eCommonwealth ayekhuthazwe ukuthi athuthukise izindawo zokukhosela intela. Ukulawulwa okuqinile kwalezi zindawo zokucasha kwabeka izindleko eziphakeme kuzo, kuyilapho amanye amazwe ethola izinzuzo.

UDkt. Coomaraswamy ucele umkhandlu wezomnotho we-UN ozimele ngaphandle koMkhandlu Wezokuphepha. Ucabange ukuthi i-Commonwealth ineqhaza ekuthuthukiseni ukuxhumana phakathi kwamaqembu ezifunda zezifunda. "I-Commonwealth ingasiza umhlaba ukuthi uxoxisane."

Wayekhathazeke nge-Afrika eyayihlupheka ngenxa yamanani aphansi ezimpahla zayo kanye nokwehla kwemali evela kubantu base-Afrika phesheya kwezilwandle. ULord Owen uthe amazwe ase-Afrika ngeke alalelwe ngemuva kokuhluleka kwawo eDarfur naseZimbabwe. “I-African Union ayizange iyiphathe kahle iDarfur. Ukusabela kweSouthern African Development Community eZimbabwe kuyihlazo.”
