UCarol Miller ubambe iqhaza ekulalelweni mayelana nochungechunge lokuhlinzekwa ngamaminerali abalulekile

Okushintshile

Ngokwemibiko ye-Quiver Quantitative, uMmeli uCarol Miller ubambe iqhaza ekulalelweni mayelana nokufinyelela kwe-U.S. ezinsizeni ezibalulekile e-Asia Ephakathi nase-Afrika. Uvikele ukuhlukaniswa kwemithombo yochungechunge lokuhlinzekwa ngamaminerali, waphinde wethula noMmeli uPanetta umthetho wokwesula imikhawulo ye-Jackson-Vanik emazweni ase-Asia Ephakathi.

Kungani lokhu kubalulekile

Umbono wethu: lokhu kuwuphawu lwasekuqaleni lwenqubomgomo, hhayi uchungechunge olusha lokuhlinzekwa. Kodwa kubasunguli nakubaphathi abathenga izinto zokukhiqiza, abahlela amafektri noma abaphatha izinkontileka eziwela imingcele, lokhu kukhumbuza ukuthi ukuthola amaminerali sekuba yindaba yenqubomgomo yezohwebo ngaphambi kokuba kube yindlela yokuthenga.

Umbuzo osebenzayo uthi: ingabe isu lakho lokuhlinzeka likulungele yini ukubhekana nokungqubuzana kwezepolitiki? Isiphakamiso sikaMiller sikhomba ekusaseni lapho ubudlelwano bezohwebo be-U.S. ne-Asia Ephakathi bungase bululeke khona, kanti ukugxila kwalokhu kulalelwa e-Afrika kubonisa ukuthi izingxoxo zokufuna eminye imithombo ziyanda. Lokhu kungase, ekugcineni, kuvule imizila eminingi yokuthola izinto ezibalulekile. Kuphinde kusho ukuthi uhlu lwabahlinzeki olubonakala luzinzile namuhla lungashintshwa yimithetho, ubudlelwano bezombusazwe phakathi kwamazwe kanye nemibandela yezinguquko.

Ukungaqiniseki kukhulu: umbiko ukhuluma ngokulalelwa nangomthetho ohlongozwayo, hhayi ngenqubomgomo esiqalile ukusebenza, izivumelwano zokuhweba noma ukukhiqizwa okusha kwamaminerali.

Isikhathi sokugcina lokhu kwenzeka

Emibikweni yethu yangaphambilini, sabika ngendlela impi yokuhweba phakathi kwe-US ne-Canada ezwakala ngayo ezinhlangothini zombili zomngcele ngasekupheleni kuka-Agasti. Isihloko sayo sodwa siveza iphuzu elibalulekile lapha: uchungechunge lokuhlinzekwa aluhlali luyindaba yenqubomgomo kuphela. Lapho imithetho yezohwebo ishintsha, imiphumela yayo ibonakala ekuhanjisweni kwezimpahla kwansuku zonke.

Yileyo ndlela okufanele kubhekwe ngayo lokhu kulalelwa. Ukuhlukanisa imithombo kunganciphisa uhlobo oluthile lokuncika, kodwa yonke indlela entsha yezohwebo iza nemithetho yayo, izingxoxo zayo kanye nezinselelo zayo zokusebenza.

Okufanele kubhekwe ngokulandelayo

• Ukuthi umthetho kaMiller we-Jackson-Vanik uzokuthola yini ukwesekwa yizinhlangothi zombili noma uqhubekele phambili yini eCongress. Intuthuko ingenza ukuvuleka kwezohwebo kubonakale kakhudlwana; ukungathuthuki kungawushiya uwumgomo wezepolitiki kuphela.
• Ukuthi izikhulu ze-U.S. zizomemezela yini izinyathelo eziqondile zokuhweba noma zokutshalwa kwezimali ezihilela amazwe ase-Asia Ephakathi. Lokho kungayisondeza le ndaba entweni amaqembu okuthenga angayihlela.
• Ukuthi ubambiswano e-Asia Ephakathi luyazixazulula yini izinselelo zezombusazwe nezamalungelo abantu eziphawulwe embikweni. Intuthuko ingaqinisa isisekelo sobudlelwano bezohwebo obujulile; ukwehluleka kungabukhawulela.
