DUBAI (The Thursday Times) — Switzerland ki taraqiyati tanzeem Swissaid ki ek report ke mutabiq Muttahida Arab Emarat (UAE) ne 2024 mein kam az kam 591 ton ghair qanooni sona daramad kiya jis ki maaliyat taqreeban 74 arab dollar hai, halaanke is se ek saal pehle us ne yeh tijarat saaf karne ke liye naye qawaneen mutaaruf karaye thay.
Report ke mutabiq yeh sona ya to un mulkon se smuggle kiya gaya jahan se usay nikala gaya tha, ya jang zada aur pabandiyon ki zad mein aaye mulkon se bheja gaya, aur yeh us saal UAE ki sonay ki kul daramadat ka 42 feesad tha.
Is mein se zyada tar, yaani 56 arab dollar se zaid maaliyat ka taqreeban 453 ton sona, Guinea, Mali aur Sudan samait Africi mulkon se Dubai ki refineries tak pohancha. Mazeed 137.7 ton sona, jis ki maaliyat taqreeban 17 arab dollar hai, Russia aur Yemen se aaya, jo dono bain-ul-aqwami pabandiyon ki zad mein hain. Taqreeban 29 ton sona Sudan se aaya tha.
Swissaid ke commodities unit ke sarbarah aur is tehqeeq ke shareek musannif Marc Ummel ne kaha: “Is tehqeeq ke nataij intehai tashweeshnaak hain. In se zahir hota hai ke UAE badastoor smuggle shuda aur tanazaat wale sonay ka markaz hai.”
2024 mein UAE Switzerland ke baad duniya mein sona baramad karne wala doosra sab se bara mulk tha, jo yeh dhaat saaf aur tayyar kar ke Switzerland, Bharat aur China jaisi mandiyon ko bhejta hai.
Kaghaz par qawaneen
UAE ne 2023 mein sona saaf karne walon aur tajiron ke liye jaanch partaal ke qawaneen mutaaruf karaye, jin ke tehat unhein yeh maloom karna hota hai ke un ka sona kahan se aaya hai. Yeh qawaneen money laundering ke khilaf aalmi idaray Financial Action Task Force ke dabao ke baad banaye gaye, jis ne 2022 mein UAE ko apni “grey list” mein daala tha, yaani un mulkon ki fehrist jin ki kari nigrani ki jati hai, aur 2024 mein usay is fehrist se nikal diya tha.
Swissaid ka kehna hai ke yeh qawaneen is bahao ko rokne mein nakaam rahe hain. Report ke mutabiq bohat se refiners aur tajir in qawaneen par amal nahin kar rahe aur un par amal daramad bhi dheela hai, balke qawaneen nafiz hone ke baad smuggle shuda Africi sonay ki aamad mein mamooli izafa hua hai.
Ummel ne kaha: “Hamein umeed thi ke naye qawaneen ke baad bain-ul-aqwami pabandiyon ki zad mein aaye mulkon se tanazaat wala sona aana band ho jaye ga.”
Report ke musannifeen ne sifarish ki hai ke Task Force UAE ko dobara apni grey list mein daale.
UAE ne report ke nataij par tabsaray ki darkhwaston ka jawab nahin diya. Swissaid ki ek pichhli report ke jawab mein ek Emirati ohdedar ne kaha tha ke mulk ne sonay ki smuggling ke khilaf aham iqdamaat kiye hain aur sonay aur deegar qeemti dhaaton par naye zawabit nafiz kiye hain.
Sudan ki jang ka sona
April 2023 mein shuru hone wali Sudani fauj aur neem fauji Rapid Support Forces ki jang mein ghair qanooni sona markazi haisiyat rakhta hai. Aqwam-e-Muttahida ke maahireen ka kehna hai ke RSF ko maali wasail faraham karne ke liye bari miqdar mein sona mulk se bahar smuggle kiya gaya hai. Darfur aur Kordofan mein sona paida karne wale ilaqay RSF ke qabzay mein hain.
Ummel ne kaha: “Hamare nuqta-e-nazar se April 2023 ke baad se [Sudan] ka saara sona tanazaat wala sona samjha jana chahiye.”
UAE RSF ki himayat ki tardeed karta hai aur kehta hai ke Sudan mein us ka kirdar sirf insani hamdardi ka hai. October mein Abu Dhabi ki ek adalat ne Sudani fauj ko aslaha smuggle karne par aath afraad ko umar qaid ki saza sunayi thi.
Report ke mutabiq poore Africa mein Emarat ki kashish bohat zyada hai. Sudan, Niger, Central African Republic, Zimbabwe, Libya, Togo aur Cameroon se tijarati shirakatdaron ne jo sona daramad zahir kiya, us ka 95 feesad se zyada UAE gaya, aur 2024 mein Africa mein nikale gaye tamam sonay ka taqreeban 70 feesad wahin bheja gaya.
Doosri janib Switzerland UAE se sona khareedne wala sab se bara mulk tha. Report ke mutabiq Emarat se us ki daramadat 2024 mein 155 ton se barh kar 2025 mein 420 ton ho gayin.
Swissaid ne apne nataij Aqwam-e-Muttahida ke data, sarkari tijarati adaad-o-shumar aur is tijarat se wabasta 150 se zaid afraad ke interviews ki buniyad par murattab kiye. Is ke musannifeen ka kehna hai ke 2025 ka data namukammal hai lekin us se bhi yahi rujhan zahir hota hai.
