U-Nikki Haley-inxusa laseMelika ku-United Nations, ngoLwesibili omemezele inhloso yakhe yokusula ekupheleni konyaka-unekhwalithi eyivelakancane phakathi kwezikhulu zekhabhinethi yokuphatha uTrump: Uzoqeda isikhathi sakhe ehhovisi nesithunzi sakhe sithuthukisiwe, linganciphi.
Ufike esikhundleni sakhe njengephini likamengameli kwezokuqeqeshwa. Uziqhayise ngesicelo sokulinganisa amathikithi esingafunwa yinoma yimuphi umongameli weRiphabhulikhi: umbusi waseNingizimu Carolina (isifunda esiyinhloko sikamongameli) kanye nowesifazane, onendaba yomuntu siqu ephoqelelayo eMelika kuphela okufanele iqale. Wayengenayo inqubomgomo yezangaphandle kanye nesipiliyoni sokuphepha kwezwe, ngakho-ke abanye abagxeki babezibuza ukuthi uzozabalaza yini endimeni yakhe entsha.
Kunalokho, wachuma. Ngonyaka wokuqala, ube ngumkhulumeli osebenza kahle kakhulu kaMongameli uDonald Trump kwezokuphepha kwezwe kanye nezindaba zenqubomgomo yangaphandle. Wayebonakala eqinisekile lapho abaphathi bakhe—umongameli, iphini likamongameli, nonobhala wezwe—bonke babonakala bengakhululekile noma bengenasithakazelo sokufeza umsebenzi wokuphatha oyisisekelo wokuchaza izenzo zase-US emphakathini ocabangayo.
Akukho nokuncane ukukhala ngamahlazo angcolisa ezinye izikhulu eziphezulu zokuphatha okwafika kuyena. Izikhathi ezimbalwa lapho angqubuzana khona ne-White House, "Angidideki” U-Haley wabonakala ephuma phambili. Wasinda oguqukweni olukhohlisayo ukusuka kuReince Priebus ukuya kuJohn Kelly njengesikhulu sabasebenzi eWhite House, uRex Tillerson waya kuMike Pompeo njengonobhala wezwe, kanye no-HR McMaster waya kuJohn Bolton njengomeluleki wezokuphepha kuzwelonke ongcono kunabantu abaningi, kuhlanganise nami, ababelindele.
Mhlawumbe okubaluleke kakhulu: Nguye kuphela isikhulu sezokuphatha esike saphumela obala sathi asivumelani noTrump, izikhathi eziningi, esingazange sithole isibhaxu sikamongameli.
Eqinisweni, ezindabeni ezimbalwa lapho abonakale ephikisana ne-White House, ubesesikhundleni esiphakeme kwezombusazwe. AmaRiphabhulikhi amaningi akhetha isikhundla sakhe esibucayi kakhulu eRussia kunendlela kaTrump.
Kuliqiniso ukuthi iphrofayili yakhe yomphakathi iphansi manje kunangentwasahlobo, ingasaphathwa eyango-2017, lapho uTrump ethatha izintambo. Kepha lokhu kungenxa yokuthi umphathi wakhe wamanje, uPompeo, usebenza kakhulu ekukhulumeni nomphakathi ukwedlula uTillerson. Indima yakhe namuhla icishe ifane nendima ejatshulelwa amanye amanxusa e-UN asezingeni eliphakeme, afana noSusan Rice, uSamantha Power, uMadeleine Albright, noma uBolton.
Ngokunjalo, kuye kwadingeka ukuthi asebenze njengobuso bomphakathi ngezinqubomgomo ezingathandwayo zase-US futhi ngaleyo ndlela abhekane neziyalo zosopolitiki bakwamanye amazwe abacasulwe yizo. Kodwa lokho, nakho, kuyindima eyadlalwa ababengaphambi kwakhe. Akakaze athathwe njengomqambi oyinhloko wale migomo. Futhi kwezinye izimo lapho abaphathi bekwazile ukuhlanganisa ukwesekwa komhlaba wonke, u-Haley ubehamba phambili kulowo mzamo-ngokwesibonelo, i-ramped-upunswinyo eNyakatho Korea ngoDisemba 2017.
Ngeza kule khwalithi eyodwa futhi ami phezu kwayo ekhanda namahlombe ngaphezu kwawo wonke umuntu ekuphathweni (hlenga umongameli): Unothando lwangempela lwezepolitiki.
Ngazibonela ngawami lokhu ngesikhathi evakashele eDuke University ngo-April. Izithameli, ezingesilo neze isampula elimele umfelandawonye kaTrump “Make America Great Again”, zamphakamisela phezulu ihlombe—ngaphambi kwenkulumo yakhe. Base beyivala ngokunye ihlombe eseqedile. Azikho eziningi zezihambeli engizibambe eDuke phakathi neminyaka edlule ezikhiqize leyo mpendulo. Ngemuva kwalokho, wasebenzisa umugqa wesithombe ozishuthe sona—inguqulo yeminyaka eyinkulungwane yolayini wezintambo—owayengahlala ihora elide kunesikhathi esinikeziwe. Omunye wozakwethu, iDemocrat eshisekayo, wangithululela isifuba ngokudabukisayo ngemva komdlalo, “Anganqoba kalula noma yibaphi abaphambili beDemocratic Alliance okhethweni olulandelayo.”
Kungakho isethembiso sakhe sokungakwenzi lokho cishe sizoba namandla engxoxweni mayelana nesimemezelo sangoLwesibili. Ngenkathi isethembiso sakhe sokuthi ngeke agijime ngo-2020 sasingumkhaza noma amabili ambalwa I-Shermanesque, udlulele phambili kunalokho ebengikulindele ekusekeleni ngokusobala uTrump futhi ethembisa ukumkhankasela. Nginesikhathi eside wacabanga ukuthi sikhona isikhala sokuthi umuntu ozongenela ukhetho angenele ukhetho oluzoqhudelana noTrump kuma-primaries. Umbangi owesabekayo kungaba umuntu ogijima kakhulu ngosizi kunentukuthelo—umuntu ongathi weseke uTrump (futhi ngaleyo ndlela azuze abanye babasekeli bakhe) kuyilapho ehlukene ngokucacile nobuthakathaka bakhe nezithikamezo zakhe.
U-Haley wayengabeka usongo olunjalo. Kodwa uma ecabanga ukugijima, wenza okungaphezu kokujwayelekile ukuze akufihle.
Vele, umuntu ocabanga ngesinyathelo esinjalo ngeke akumemezele eWhite House ngenkathi emi eduze kukaTrump. Kepha futhi ubengeke adumise, njengoba kwenza uHaley, ku-Ivanka Trump kanye noJared Kushner, indodakazi kamongameli kanye nomkhwenyana osebenza njengabeluleki abakhulu.
Kunalokho, uma kufanele sibheke isikhundla sezombangazwe esikhundleni sokumane sigubhe ukuthi othile uphendule isicelo senkonzo kazwelonke wabe esesebenza ngokuhloniphekile nangokufaneleka, cabanga ngalokhu: Njengombusi waseNingizimu Carolina, uHaley ngaphezu kokuhlola ibhokisi lesipiliyoni sokuphatha kanye nezinqumo zomkhankaso wezombangazwe. . Njengenxusa leNhlangano Yezizwe, wamane wahlola ibhokisi lolwazi lwenqubomgomo yangaphandle. Akushodayo ngomjaho onzima wokuba ngumongameli ngo-2024 uhlobo lomcebo ozimele olujatshulelwe ngabaqokwe abaningi beqembu abaphumelele. Manje unesikhathi esiningi sokubheka lelo bhokisi, futhi.
Ngingamangala kakhulu uma inxusa leZizwe Ezihlangene liyisahluko sokugcina somlando wezombangazwe kaHaley.
