Dowladda Indonesia waxay ku dartay 1,500 askari oo cusub isku xirka xaaladda banaanbaxa Borneo
Madaxweynaha Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, wuxuu amray in la geeyo 1,500 askari oo cusub iyo saddexno helikobter si loo xakameeyo banaanbaxyada ka socda gobolka Borneo, iyadoo dhulka la xasuuqay uu gaaray 200,000 hektar.
Xaaladda banaanbaxa iyo saameynta dhulka
Banaanbaxyadan sanadkan waxay xasuuqeen 200,000 hektar oo dhul ah, taas oo ah meel ahayd saddex jeer meesha magaalada Jakarta, caasimadda dalkaas. Xaaladdan banaanbaxa waxaa keentay xaaladaha qorraxda ah ee ka dhashay nidaamka El Nino, kaas oo saameyn weyn ku yeeshay cimilada gobolka.
Meesha la xasuuqay waxay ka weyn tahay xaaladaha hore ee El Nino ee 2019 iyo 2023, balse waxay ka yar tahay xaaladda 2015, markii nidaamku ahaa mid aad u xoog badan. Xaaladdan waxaa ka dhacay gobolka Kalimantan, kaas oo ah qaybta Borneo ee Indonesia.
Tallaabooyinka dowladda iyo amarka madaxweynaha
Madaxweynaha Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, wuxuu ku sugnaa magaalada Palangkaraya, caasimadda gobolka Kalimantan, isagoo amray in la geeyo 1,500 askari oo cusub iyo saddexno helikobter si loo xakameeyo banaanbaxyada. Wuxuu sheegay in tallaabooyin la qaadayo si loo joojiyo faafitaanka banaanbaxyada.
Wasiirka Wasaaradda Xukuumadda Indonesia, Teddy Indra Wijaya, wuxuu sheegay in saddexno tababaradooda ay ka yimaadaan meelaha kale ee dalka, iyadoo helikobterada cusubna ay ka caawinayaan howlaha biyaha.
Saameynta banaanbaxyada iyo caafimaadka dadka
Banaanbaxyadan waxay keentay in dhulka ka dhashay banaanbaxyada uu noqdo mid aad u daran, taas oo saameyn ku yeeshay dadka deggan gobolka. Maamulka gobolka ayaa u sheegay dadka inay qaadaan maskaxda iyo inay guryahooda ku jiraan si ay u ilaaliyaan caafimaadkooda.
Banaanbaxyadan waxay saameyn ku yeeshay Malaysia, gaar ahaan gobolka Sarawak, halkaas oo lix meelood laga sheegay in hawada ay tahay mid aan caafimaad lahayn. Xaaladdan waxaa ka dhacay gobolka Borneo, kaas oo la wadaago Indonesia, Brunei, iyo Malaysia.
President Prabowo Subianto has ordered the deployment of an additional 1,500 soldiers and six helicopters to Kalimantan as wildfires continue to ravage Borneo, with at least 200,000 hectares scorched this year.
Government Orders Major Military Reinforcement
President Prabowo Subianto, speaking in Palangkaraya, directed the Indonesian National Armed Forces to bring in three battalions from outside Kalimantan to fight the blazes. The move is part of a broader effort to contain fires that have scorched at least 200,000 hectares of land this year.
Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya confirmed that the additional 1,500 personnel will be deployed starting today, alongside six helicopters to boost waterbombing operations across the affected regions.
Smoke Threatens Residents Across Borneo and Malaysia
Thick smog from the fires has prompted local governments in Borneo to advise residents to wear masks and stay indoors, as the haze chokes some areas. The smoke has also drifted into Malaysian Borneo, with six areas of Sarawak state recording unhealthy air quality levels.
The area burned is already larger than during previous El Nino seasons in 2019 and 2023, though it remains smaller than the devastation seen in 2015 during a particularly strong El Nino event.
El Nino and Climate Change Fuel the Crisis
Dry conditions across the region are being driven by a powerful El Nino weather pattern, which typically brings drought to Indonesia. Climate change is expected to amplify these effects, as warmer oceans and atmospheres provide more energy and moisture to feed extreme weather events.
President Prabowo emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that the priority is to immediately stop the spread of fire spots while mitigation measures are put in place.
