Selokhu amaHouthi aqala ukuhlasela kwawo oLwandle Olubomvu, imali yomshuwalense wempi ikhuphuke ngamaphesenti angu-900 amangalisayo. Lesi sibalo esishaqisayo sivela embikweni okhishwe ngomhlaka-26 yiNgqungquthela Yezizwe Ezihlangene Yezohwebo Nentuthuko (i-UNCTAD).
Ngokusho kwemithombo ethembekile, amaphrimiyamu engozi yempi ayengu-0.1% kuphela wenani lomkhumbi ekupheleni konyaka odlule, kodwa ekuqaleni kwale nyanga, lelo nani lase likhuphuke laya ku-1% wenani lomkhumbi. Lokhu kwanda okukhulu kube nomthelela omkhulu embonini yemikhumbi yomhlaba wonke kanye nokuhweba.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, umbiko uphinde wembule umkhuba ophazamisayo: ithrafikhi edlula eSuez Canal kulo nyaka yehle ngamaphesenti angu-42 unyaka nonyaka, kuyilapho ithrafikhi edlula ePanama nayo yehle ngamaphesenti angu-49. Lokhu kwehla kokuthunyelwa kwezimpahla kufinyelela kumaphesenti angu-12 okuhweba okuphelele kwase-US, lapho ukuthunyelwa kwezimpahla kwamanye amazwe kubalwa ngamaphesenti angu-21.3 kanye nokungeniswa kwezimpahla kwamanye amazwe ngamaphesenti angu-5.7.
Emazweni afana ne-Ecuador (25.6%), iChile (22%) kanye nePeru (21.8%), umthelela womsele ovinjiwe wawunzima kakhulu. Umthamo wokuhweba wala mazwe uthinteke kakhulu, kanti izimpahla ezifakwe emathinini zibalwa kakhulu. Ngesonto lesibili likaFebhuwari, imikhumbi engu-586 yamathini kwadingeka ukuthi ishintshe indlela yayo izungeze iCape of Good Hope ukuze igweme iSuez Canal.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuphazamiseka kweSuez Canal kube nomthelela omkhulu ekuhwebeni emazweni amaningana. Ngokusho kombiko, amaphesenti angu-33.9 okuhwebelana kweSudan, amaphesenti angu-30.5 okuhwebelana kweDjibouti, amaphesenti angu-26.4 okuhwebelana kweSaudi Arabia kanye namaphesenti angu-19.4 okuhwebelana kweSeychelles konke kuthinteke ngezinga elithile.
I-Yemen iyisibonelo esivelele, lapho i-UNCTAD ithole ukuthi cishe amaphesenti angu-31.6 okuhweba kwayo angathinteka kabi ukuphazamiseka komsele, okuphikisana kancane nokulindelekile kwayo.
I-Unctad iphinde yaphawula ukuthi ukuphazamiseka kwezokuthutha ngeke kuholele nje kuphela ekucindezelekeni okukhulu kokwehla kwamandla emali, okuzokhulisa izindleko zezimpahla, ikakhulukazi ukudla. Lokhu kwabonakala ngesikhathi sokwanda kwamanani ezimpahla ngemva kobhubhane. Umbiko ulinganisela ukuthi cishe ingxenye yokwenyuka kwentengo yokudla okubhalwe ngo-2022 kuzobangelwa yizindleko zokuthutha eziphakeme.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-UNCTAD yengeze ngokuthi ukuchezuka eCape of Good Hope kanye nokwanda kwesivinini okuhambisana nakho kuzokwandisa ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli emikhunjini. Emizileni esuka eMpumalanga Ekude iye eNyakatho Yurophu, ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli kungakhuphuka ngamaphesenti afinyelela ku-70.
Nakuba imibiko yangaphambilini igxile ekutheni ukuphinda kusetshenziswe uphethiloli kuzokwandisa kanjani ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli emikhunjini, i-UNCTAD ithole ukuthi isivinini naso sikhuphuke, sisuka esilinganisweni samafindo angu-14.6 ngo-Okthoba saya kumafindo angu-16.2 maphakathi noJanuwari. Kubalwe ukuthi ukwanda kwesivinini ngamafindo amabili kwandisa ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli ngo-31% ngemayela.
Lo mbiko uqokomisa ukuthi amazwe asathuthuka asengozini enkulu yokuphazamiseka kwamanethiwekhi okuthumela izimpahla kanye nokushintsha kwezindlela zokuhweba. Ushintsho olunjalo ngeke lugcine ngokukhuphula izindleko, kodwa lungashintsha futhi ukulula kokuhweba kanye nokufinyelela ezimakethe. Nakuba umthelela walokhu kuphazamiseka okuhlangene kuze kube manje ungakafinyeleli ezingeni lokuphazamiseka okubangelwe ubhubhane noma inkinga yomhlaba wonke eyalandela ka-2021-2022, i-UNCTAD isaqapha ngokucophelela isimo esishintshayo ukuze ihlole umthelela wayo wesikhathi eside ekuhwebeni komhlaba kanye nasembonini yokuthumela izimpahla.
