Sezvo EU iri kupera, demokrasi ye #Liberia inorembera muchiyero

Mushure mesarudzo dzemutungamiri wenyika dzemusi wa10 Gumiguru, hutongi hwejekerere hweLiberia huri kuedzwa. Mutungamiri ari kusiya basa, Amai Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, vari kupomerwa mhosva nenhengo dzebato ravo reUnity Party (UP) dzekupindira musarudzo, vachipomerwa mhosva yekutungamira dare repamusoro muLiberia musi wa 6 Mbudzi.^th to nyaya mutemo wechinguvana unonotsa sine die a run-off vote pakati paGeorge Weah naJoseph Boakai weUP kuti vaongorore zvichemo. Ukuwo Sirleaf zvakasimba rakarambwa zvirevo izvi, kumisikidzwa kwerun-off iko zvino kuri kutyisidzira kukanganisa shanduko ine runyararo. Uye zvinosuruvarisa, zvisinei nekutora basa rakasimba mukutarisa vhoti, EU kusvika parizvino yakanyarara.

Akahwina mubairo weNobel Peace uye mutungamiri wenyika muAfrica wekutanga kusarudzwa, Sirleaf ane nharo akasiya shangu hombe kuti apedze kubuda kwake pachigaro. Munguva yetemu yake, Liberia ine kupedzwa zvinobudirira the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative, kubuda kubva kumashure-ku-shure kwehondo dzevagari vemo uye kupona dambudziko reEbola rinotyisa kuti ribudirire kubvisa zvikwereti zvehurumende. Akawedzera GDP uye akadzora inflation. Kunyange zvakadaro bato reUP harina kuwana nyasha nevavhoti vegore rino sezvo vakawanda vari kuramba vachiti bato iri harina kuita zvarakavimbisa. Musi waGumiguru 10, Mutevedzeri weMutungamiriri weUP, Joseph Boakai, akahwina chete 28.8% yevhoti.

Senator George Weah vakabuda vari pamusoro muchikamu chekutanga, vakahwina zvikamu makumi matatu nemasere nemazana mana emavhoti. Zvakadaro, pasina ruzhinji rwaidiwa kuti rukunde zviri pachena, sarudzo yerun-off yakarongwa pakati paWeah nemutevedzeri wemutungamiri wenyika, VaJoseph Boakai. Kurumidza pazvitsitsinho zvekuodzwa mwoyo pabhokisi rekuvhota, UP yakatevera nayo mhosva kuti Sirleaf akanganisa zvakabuda musarudzo nekusangana pachivande nemamejasitiriti esarudzo sarudzo dzisati dzaitwa. Akabatanidzwa nemamwe mapato maviri makuru mukupikisa zviri pamutemo kuvhota, boka raivepo rakazivisa sarudzo se "dzinoratidzirwa nekusarongeka kwakakura uye hutsotsi."

NeSvondo (5 Mbudzi), Bato reRusununguko rakaendesa chichemo kuNational Elections Committee (NEC), richida kuti vhoti yepakutanga imiswe uye kuti vhoti yerun-off yakarongwa pakati paWeah naBoakai musi wa7 Mbudzi imiswe. Mushure mezvo, vamwe vese vakuru vakakwikwidza vakapinda mukushevedzera kwekuregererwa panguva iyo yaiita sekunge hupfumi hwaWeah hwakanga hwachinja zvinoshamisa kubva paakatanga kukwikwidza mujaho wemutungamiri we2005.

He akabvuma kusvika pakuva "mudiki uye asina ruzivo" kare ikako, asi anoramba akatsiga mukuzvipira kwake kuchengetedza basa revanhu panguva ino. Basa iroro riri kure nekureruka: nharaunda zhinji dzeLiberia dzichiri kushaya mvura yekunwa, masisitimu ehutsanana, magetsi akavimbika uye mabasa anofambisa mararamiro akanaka uye anopa mikana kuchizvarwa cheLiberia chinotevera. Boakai akatarisana zvinopomerwa Kuva munhu akapfava pahuwori uye kunyanya kukoshesa kuwana mari dzevabatsiri kubva kunze kwenyika, sarudzo dzegore rino dzaunza zvivakwa uye zvido zvekuvandudza zvinhu. Raibheriya pamisara Nyika 177 pa188 dziri muUN's Human Development Index, uye ani nani achatora chigaro musarudzo dzenyika ane hwaro hwevavhoti hwakasimba hwekupindura.

Naizvozvo, mutongo weDare Repamusorosoro unoratidza kuti hauna kunaka pane zvichazoitika munyika. Sezvakaita George Weah akafanotaura kuti vakunde musarudzo, kunonoka kusingagumi kunoreva kuti veruzhinji vari kuvhota vatarisana nekusafara kukuru, zvikuru sezvo sarudzo dzainzi dzakachena nevaongorori vepasi rose.

Kuona kuti hapana pesvedzero isina kufanira ichaitwa panguva yekutanga, European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) yakashandiswa 34 vacherechedzi venguva pfupi pamwe nevamwe gumi nevaviri veEU-state vacherechedzi kubva kuLiberia's diplomatic missions. The 12-simba chikwata kukundwa matambudziko makuru ezvivakwa kuitira kuti pave nekutevedzwa kwakakodzera panguva yekufambiswa kwesarudzo, kunyoreswa kwevavhoti, kukwikwidza nekuverengwa panguva yesarudzo. Mumushumo wekutanga wakaburitswa mukati memaawa makumi maviri nemana mushure mesarudzo, mishoni kuongororwa maitiro esarudzo se "akanaka kana akanaka kwazvo".

Zvinosuruvarisa, nemutongo weDare Repamusorosoro, UP, iyo yaimbotyisidzira kuronda vhoti ya7 Mbudzi, yakawana chaizvo zvayaida. Nemamiriro ezvematongerwo enyika akacherwa kudaro, njodzi yemhirizhonga iripo kuwedzera. Kunyange hazvo zvinhu zvati zii kusvika pari zvino, mapurisa anodzivirira mvongamupopoto anga akamiswa pamberi pedare repamusorosoro pamwe nekomisheni inoona nezvesarudzo. Vakuru vakaita sekuti vakadzidza kubva musarudzo dzemuna 2011, pakamuka mhirizhonga yakasiya vanhu vaviri vafa. Semucherechedzi mukuru weEuropean Union akati, kuchinja kune rugare kunodiwa zvikuru, kwete kuLiberia chete asiwo semuenzaniso wenharaunda yacho.

Ongororo iyi ndeyechokwadi, asi nerutsigiro rwayo rwese musarudzo dzemuLiberia, EU yakaratidza kukundikana kukuru kwekuita zvinhu munguva pfupi yapfuura. Yakaramba yakanyarara sezvo zviitiko muLiberia zviri kuitika, zvisinei nekubatanidzwa kwayo kwakakosha muhurongwa hwesarudzo. Tichitarisa nyaya dzakakomba idzi kubva kumapato ari kukundwa, mukurumbira weEU uri panjodzi yekurasikirwa nekuremekedzwa kana ikasasimuka kuti idzivirire zvakasimba ongororo yayo yesarudzo.

Kuzengurira kweEurope pamusoro peLiberia kunoratidza zvakanyanya maitiro ayo munharaunda yakakura. Sezvo Democratic Republic of Congo inopinda muhondo yevagari vemo pamusoro pekumisikidzwa kwesarudzo dzepamusoro kusvika pakati pegore ra2019, EU yakatadza kupfuura sanctions pamusoro pevatungamiri veCongo. Kutarisa nyika kunoratidza kuti izvi zvanga zvisina kukwana kumisa kurwa kwemapoka. Uye muKenya, chero rugare rwakasvikwa ne ichangopfuura kudzokororwa kwesarudzo kunonetsa zvachose.

Nekuda kwekunetsana kuri kuswedera pedyo, EU inofanira kusimuka ichiona kuchengetedzwa kwezvematongerwo enyika muLiberia apo inofamba nenzira itsva yegutsaruzhinji. Zvikasadaro kufambira mberi kwezvemuchadenga kwakaitwa nenyika kubva muhondo yevagari vemo kwaizova pasina.
