Ake ucabange uhlala ezweni lapho wonke umkhakha wezinsizakalo zezenhlalakahle uzimele, ophethwe "izinhlangano ezisiza umphakathi" ezizinze kwamanye amazwe futhi zinabasebenzi abavela kwamanye amazwe abazokwazi ukunquma ukuthi uyafaneleka yini ukuthola usizo noma cha.

Siyakwamukela e-Haiti, "I-Republic of NGOs."

Njengoba imininingwane ethokozisayo mayelana nezikhulu ze-Oxfam eziqasha amantombazane aseHaiti ukuya ocansini iba sematheni, abezindaba bakubeke phansi ukuntula ukuziphendulela kwama-NGO kulabo okuthiwa babasebenzela. Ngisho nokuncane ukunaka okunikelwe endimeni okuthiwa yizinhlangano ezingekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni eziye zayidlalisa ukubukela phansi izwe laseHaiti kanye nokuqhubekisela phambili izintshisekelo zamazwe acebile.

Ngokochungechunge lwemibiko yezindaba, umqondisi waseHaiti wase-Oxfam UK izifebe eziqashiwe kanye nemicimbi ehleliwe endaweni ephethwe abantulayo esungulwe ngemva kokuzamazama komhlaba okwadala umonakalo ngo-2010. Abanye yamantombazane kungenzeka ukuthi njengoba abasha njengoba 14 futhi Abamele i-Oxfam ukuhwebelana ngosizo locansi. Abaholi be-Oxfam e-UK bazama ukuvala lolu daba ngenkathi luvela ngo-2011, okwenza idlanzana labahlukumezi bajoyine ezinye izinhlangano ezizimele ezisebenza emazweni omhlaba.

Kusukela kwaba nokuzamazama komhlaba kube nezindaba ezingenakubalwa zama-NGO asebenzisa kabi amandla awo noma ukuphanga izimali eziqoqelwe abantu baseHaiti. Esimweni esibi kakhulu, twakha i-US Red Cross kuphela izindlu eziyisithupha ngemali eyizigidi ezingu-500 zamaRandi abayiqongelela eHaiti ngemva kokuzamazama komhlaba.

Ngenkathi abantu baseHaiti abampofu bethola ukuncipha kancane, Ama-NGO asabela ezintshisakalweni zabazuzi bazo. Ngemuva kokuthi ibutho le-UN lilethe ikholera eHaiti ngo-Okthoba 2010, i-Oxfam nezinye izinhlangano ezingekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni zavikela iWashington-France-Canada yagqugquzela i-MINUSTAH (Mission des Nations Unies pour la stabilization en Haiti). Ephendula abantu baseHaiti abaphikisana neqhaza le-UN ekuqubukeni kwekholera, umkhulumeli we-Oxfam uJulie Schindall, utshele the Guardian "uma izwe liqhuma ngobudlova, ngeke sikwazi ukufinyelela abantu esibadingayo." Ngaso leso sikhathi inhloko yemishini yeMédecins Sans Frontières ePort-au-Prince, uStefano Zannini, utshele iMontreal nsuku zonke. La Presse, "isikhundla sethu i-pragmatic: ukufunda umthombo ekuqaleni kwalolu bhubhane bekungeke kusindise izimpilo eziningi. Ukwazi namuhla bekungeke kube nomthelela nakho.”

Vele lokho bekungamampunge. Ukuqinisekisa umthombo wekholera kwakudingeka ngokokwelashwa. Ngesikhathi salezi zitatimende amabutho e-UN ayekhona isalahla indle yabo ngendlela ebeka ukuphila kwabantu baseHaiti engozini. Ukubhikisha kwezenzo ze-UN bekuyindlela yokucindezela u-MINUSTAH ukuthi ayeke ukulahlwa kwendle budedengu futhi akhiqize izinsiza ezidingekayo ukuze kubhekwane nokuqubuka kwekholera esele. I-10,000 ifile kanti isigidi sigula.

Okubi kakhulu kunokuhlanekezela ukugxekwa kwesibopho se-UN ngokuqubuka kwekholera, ama-NGO abeka ubuso obuqhubekayo ekuhlaseleni/kuvukela umbuso okwaqala i-MINUSTAH. Ngokumangazayo, ama-NGO amaningi athethelele Amasosha Asolwandle ase-US ukuthi athathe uMongameli okhethiwe emzini wakhe phakathi nobusuku amlahle endaweni eqhele ngamakhilomitha angu-10,000 e-Central African Republic. Ngomhla zingama-25 kuNdasa wezi-2004 i-Oxfam Québec kanye neshumi nambili amanye ama-NGO axhaswa uhulumeni waseCanada avikela iCanada (ezempi, idiplomatic kanye nezezimali) ekuxoshweni kwezinkulungwane zezikhulu ezikhethiwe, okuhlanganisa noMongameli uJean-Bertrand Aristide, ngaphambi kweKomidi Elimisiwe Lezindaba Zangaphandle. UMarthe Lapierre weNtuthuko Nokuthula wathi: “Akunjalo ekhuluma ngesimo lapho iqembu lamavukela-mbuso lahlela khona ukuhamba kuka-Aristide. Sikhuluma ngesimo lapho uhulumeni ka-Aristide, kusukela ngo-2000, kancane kancane walahlekelwa ukuba semthethweni ngenxa yokuhileleka emisebenzini enjengokwephulwa okukhulu kwamalungelo abantu nokushushumbiswa kwezidakamizwa, kodwa futhi ngenxa yokuthi kwakuwuhulumeni ongenantando yeningi ngokujulile.” I-Oxfam Québec umqondisi wesifunda uCarlos Arancibia uvumile: “Ngiphelele vumelana nokuhlaziya okwethulwa ngabanye. Kubalulekile ukukuqonda lokho izinto azihambanga kahle kusukela ngo-2000, ngokhetho.”

(Ngemuva kokulahlekelwa okhethweni lwesishayamthetho lwangoMeyi 2000 abaphikisayo bathi ukuthi uMkhandlu wokhetho bekufanele usebenzise indlela ehlukile yokuvota, obekungaphoqa izihlalo eziyisishiyagalombili zeSenate ukuthi ziphume. Iqembu lika-Aristide lika-Fanmi Lavalas kungenzeka liwine amavoti aphindelelayo, kodwa i-US/Canada yasekela abaphikisayo basebenzisa lolu daba ukuze bathethelele ukuduba ukhetho lukamongameli lwangoNovemba 2000, ababengenalo nhlobo ithuba lokuwina. Ngasohlangothini lwayo, iWashington yasebenzisa ingxabano yokhetho ukuthethelela ukuvimba usizo ezweni. Ngisho nangaphandle kwezigelekeqe eziphikisanayo, u-Fanmi Lavalas wayeseneningi ephalamende futhi nalapho amasenenja ayisikhombisa kwabayisishiyagalombili e-Lavalas eyeka ukuvinjelwa kosizo kanye nomzamo wokudicilela phansi ukhetho.)

Ngesikhathi sokuketula umbuso iningi lezinsizakalo zezenhlalakahle zaseHaiti zaziqhutshwa ama-NGO. Umbiko we-Canadian International Development Agency uthe ngo-2004, “okungekho kuhulumeni abadlali (okwenza inzuzo nokungenzi nzuzo) banikeze cishe amaphesenti angu-80 ezinkonzo eziyisisekelo [zaseHaiti].” Phakathi kwamanye amazwe anikelayo, uhulumeni waseCanada wethule “usizo lwentuthuko” ngama-NGO ukuze alolonge ezombusazwe zezwe. Ngokusho kwe-CIDA, “ababambe iqhaza abangekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni abesekayo baba nesandla ekwakhiweni kwezinhlelo ezifanayo zokulethwa kwezidingo. …Esimeni saseHaiti, laba badlali [ama-NGO] basetshenziswa njengendlela yokugwema ukukhungatheka kokusebenza nohulumeni … lokhu kube nomthelela ekusungulweni kwezinhlelo ezifanayo zokulethwa kwezidingo, kwacekela phansi ukuba semthethweni, amandla kanye nentando yombuso yokuletha izinsiza ezibalulekile. .” Njengoba kwakuhlosiwe, ama-NGO axhasa ngemali enze buthaka ohulumeni be-Aristide/René Préval/Aristide futhi aqinisa isandla se-US/France/Canada.

Ethembele kakhulu oxhasweni lukahulumeni wasentshonalanga kanye nokwesekwa kwezepolitiki, ama-NGO aqhubekisela phambili izintshisekelo zawo.

I-Oxfam "ihlazo locansi" kufanele kukhanye ukukhanya ku ama-NGO anamandla amakhulu, angaphenduki, ayaqhubeka nokusebenzisa izindaba zaseHaiti. Ezweni elinesizotha kungaba yisifundo futhi ngokuthi ungasebenzisi kanjani “usizo” ukubukela phansi intando yeningi.
