O le faamasinoga o Standards, Utilities and Wildlife i le aso ananafi na faasalaina ai se tagatanuu Congolese e igoa ia Mbaya Kabongo Bob i le 7 tausaga i le falepuipui mo moliaga taitasi e 2 o le faaulufaleina mai o manu faʻataʻitaʻiga i Uganda e aunoa ma se laisene faʻamaonia ma le umia faasolitulafono o meaola puipuia e feteenai ma vaega 62(2). ),(a)(3) ma le 71(1),(b) o le Uganda Wildlife Act 2019 faasologa.

O le faʻasalaga e oʻo mai ina ua uma ona ioe Mbaya i solitulafono, ma o le a ia tuli faʻasalaga uma e lua.

Na pueina Mbaya ia Aperila 14, 2022, i le taimi o se taotoga soofaatasi na faia e Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), Uganda Peoples Defense Forces (UPDF), ma Uganda Police i le nuu o Kibaya o le fono a le taulaga o Bunagana i le itumalo o Kisoro. Na maua ia te ia le 2 cages o loʻo i ai le 122 African Grey Parrots, 3 o ia mea na maliliu ae 2 isi na maliliu mulimuli ane.

Na taʻua e Hangi Bashir, Pule o Fesoʻotaʻiga a le UWA: "O le fitu tausaga mo Mbaya i le falepuipui o le a avea o se lapataiga i isi i le pisinisi o fefaʻatauaiga o meaola poʻo i latou o loʻo faʻamoemoe e aʻafia i lenei pisinisi e le mafai ona faʻaaogaina Uganda e avea o se auala feʻaveaʻi pe ose nofoaga mo manu fe'avea'i. Matou te fa'afetaia le fa'amasinoga ae maise le ofisa fa'amasino sa ta'ita'ia le mataupu mo le vave tu'uina atu o le fa'amasinoga mo seka o lo'o fefa'ataua'i ma i latou na maliliu i le faagasologa.

"O le African Grey Parrot (Psittacus erithacus) o se tasi o meaola lamatia o loʻo faʻaitiitia le faitau aofaʻi ona o le seleselega mo fefaʻatauaʻiga faavaomalo ma le leiloa o nofoaga i isi."

"O le faitau aofaʻi o le Aferika Grey Parrot i le taimi nei e tusa ma le 40,000 i le 100,000. O lea la, e tatau ona tatou puipuia lenei manulele ina ia mautinoa e le o mate.”

O le Tulafono o Wildlife Act o le 2019 ua aiaia ai se faasalaga e oo atu i le olaga atoa ma se sala tupe o le UGX 20 piliona, po o mea uma e lua, mo solitulafono o meaola o lo'o a'afia ai meaola fa'aleagaina.

I le 2018, o sega na lisiina o se meaola lamatia e le International Union of Conservation of Nature. O le sega efuefu, e lauiloa foi o le Congo grey parrot, ose tua-sha lalolagi sega i le aiga o Psittacidae.

E tusa ai ma le Wildlife Conservation Society, o se faalapotopotoga tumaoti e faavae i le Iunaite Setete o lona faamoemoega o le faasaoina o le tele o nofoaga vao i le lalolagi i le 14 o itulagi faamuamua, o le pa'u lanu efuefu Aferika ua oʻo i le paʻu tele o le faitau aofaʻi i lona itu i Sisifo, Tutotonu, ma Aferika i Sasaʻe. E matua seasea pe faʻaumatia i le lotoifale i Benin, Burundi, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, ma Togo. O lenei ituaiga o vaomatua ua matua tele naua, ae paga lea ua lamatia nei e le le pulea o fefaatauaiga faava o malo.

Afai e mafai ona tautala le seka efuefu, ma e moni lava, o le a patipatia le faasalaga o Mbaya, o lona uiga moni lava o le “bad” po o le “egregious” pe a faaliliuina mai le Swahili i le faaPeretania.

O nisi tala fou e uiga i Uganda

OA MEA E AVEA MAI LENEI TUSI:

“ Seven years for Mbaya in jail will serve as a warning to others in the business of wildlife trafficking or those who intend to get involved in this business that Uganda cannot be used as either a transit route or a destination for trafficked wildlife species.
O le faamasinoga o Standards, Utilities and Wildlife i le aso ananafi na faasalaina ai se tagatanuu Congolese e igoa ia Mbaya Kabongo Bob i le 7 tausaga i le falepuipui mo moliaga taitasi e 2 o le faaulufaleina mai o manu faʻataʻitaʻiga i Uganda e aunoa ma se laisene faʻamaonia ma le umia faasolitulafono o meaola puipuia e feteenai ma vaega 62(2). ),(a)(3) ma le 71(1),(b) o le Uganda Wildlife Act 2019 faasologa.
We applaud the judiciary and in particular, the judicial officer who presided over the case for swiftly dispensing justice for the parrots that were being trafficked and those that died in the process.
