Na Kathy Kelly, LHe Holomua, Ianuali 22, 2021
I ka 1565, ʻo Pieter Bruegel ka ʻelemakule hana "Ka luku ʻana i ka poʻe hewa ʻole, ”Kahi hana hoʻonāukiuki o ka hana haipule. ʻO ka pena kiʻi hana hou a moʻolelo Baibala e pili ana i ke kauoha a ka Mōʻī Herode e luku aku i nā keiki kāne hou i Betelehema no ka makaʻu i ka hānau ʻia ʻana o kahi mesia ma laila. ʻO kā Bruegel kiʻi pena i kū i ka hana hoʻomāinoino i kahi wā i kēia manawa, kahi 16th ʻO ke kauhale Century Flemish ma lalo o ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana e nā pūʻali koa mākaukau loa.
Ke hōʻike nei i nā ʻāpana he nui o ka hana hoʻomāinoino weliweli, lawe ʻo Bruegel i ka weliweli a me ke kaumaha i kau ʻia i nā kamaʻāina paʻa i hiki ʻole ke pale aku i kā lākou keiki. ʻAʻole ʻoluʻolu me nā kiʻi o ka luku keiki, ʻo ka Emepela Roma Hemolele Rudolph II, ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kiʻi, kēnā hou i kahi hana hou. Ua pena ʻia nā pēpē i luku ʻia me nā kiʻi e like me nā pūʻā meaʻai a holoholona liʻiliʻi paha, e hōʻike nei i kahi hiʻohiʻona o kahi waiwai pio ma mua o ka luku nui.
Ua hōʻano hou ʻia ke kumumanaʻo anti-war a Bruegel e hōʻike i nā kiʻi o ka luku keiki i kēia lā, hiki i kahi kauhale Yemeni mamao ke lilo i mea nui. ʻAʻole hiki nā koa e hoʻokō ana i ka luku ma ka lio. I kēia lā, hoʻomaʻamaʻa pinepine lākou i nā pailaka Saudi no ka lele ʻana i nā mokulele kaua a US i hana ai ma luna o nā wahi kūloko a laila hoʻolana i nā missile alakaʻi ʻia e ka laser (kuai aku e ʻO Raytheon, Boeing a me Lockheed Martin), e hemo, e hoʻopau i ke poʻo, a make paha i kekahi ma ke ala o nā pā pahū a pahū.
Ua hōʻano hou ʻia ke kumumanaʻo anti-war a Bruegel e hōʻike i nā kiʻi o ka luku keiki i kēia lā, hiki i kahi kauhale Yemeni mamao ke lilo i mea nui.
no ka mea, ma mua o ʻelima mau makahiki, ua alo ʻo Yemenis i nā kūlana wī kokoke i ka hoʻomanawanui ʻana i kahi poloka kaua moana a me ka pōkā pahū lewa maʻamau. Ua koho ka United Nations ua kaua ke kaua kena ae la 233,000 mau make, me 131,000 mau make mai nā kumu pololei ʻole e like me ka nele o ka meaʻai, nā lawelawe olakino a me nā hanana.
ʻO ka luku ʻōnaehana o nā mahiʻai, nā lawaiʻa, nā alanui, nā mea hoʻoneʻe kino a me nā hale hoʻomaʻemaʻe a me nā wahi olakino i hana i ka ʻeha hou. Nui ka waiwai o Yemen, akā hoʻomau ka wī i ka ʻāina, ka UN hoike. Pōloli nā hapakolu ʻelua o ka Yemen a ʻaʻole maopopo i ka hapalua i ka wā e ʻai ai lākou ma hope. Iwakāluakūmālima pākēneka o ka heluna kanaka e ʻeha nei mai ke kaulike a hiki i ka hōʻino kino nui. Hoʻopili kēlā i ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻelua miliona mau keiki.
Lako ʻia me nā moku Littoral Combat Ships i hana ʻia e US, ua hiki i nā Saudis ke ālai i nā lewa a me nā awa kai e pono ai ka hānai ʻana i ka hapa nui o nā kānaka o Yemen - ka ʻākau ma kahi e noho nei ka 80 pākēneka o ka heluna kanaka. ʻO Ansar Allah kēia (kahi i kapa ʻia ʻo "Houthi"). Hoʻohana ʻia nā hana e wehe iā Ansar Allah e hoʻopaʻi koʻikoʻi i ka poʻe nāwaliwali - ka poʻe ilihune, neʻe, pōloli a loaʻa i nā maʻi. He nui nā keiki e pono ʻole ke hoʻopiʻi ʻia no nā hana politika.
ʻAʻole nā keiki Yemeni he "keiki pōloli;" o lākou pololi ana e nā ʻaoʻao kaua nāna nā poloka a me nā pōkā pahū i hoʻopau i ka ʻāina. Ke hāʻawi nei ʻo ʻAmelike Hui Pū ʻIa i nā mea kaua luku a me ke kākoʻo diplomatik i ka hui ʻana o Saudi-led, ʻoiai e hoʻouka hou aku ana i kāna iho lele kaua "selective" e kūʻē i nā mea hoʻoweliweli a me nā makaʻāinana āpau i kahi kokoke.
I kēia manawa ʻo ka US, e like me Saudi Arabia a me ka UAE, loaʻa e oki ai hoʻi i kāna mau hāʻawi i ke kōkua kōkua kanaka. Hoʻopilikia loa kēia i ka hiki ke hiki i nā mea kōkua kūwaho.
No kekahi mau mahina ma ka hopena o 2020, hoʻoweliweli ka US e koho iā Ansar Allah ma ke ʻano he "Foreign Terrorist Organization" (FTO). ʻOiai ʻo ka hoʻoweliweli o ka hana ʻana pēlā i hoʻomaka i ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā kūkākūkā kalepa ʻana, e piʻi ana nā kumukūʻai o nā waiwai i makemake nui ʻia.
Ma Nowemapa 16, 2020, ʻelima mau luna nui o nā hui aloha nui kūwaho honua kākau pū ʻia iā US Secretary of Pompeo, e koi ana iā ia ʻaʻole e hana i kēia inoa. ʻO nā hui he nui me ka ʻike nui e hana ana ma Yemen i wehewehe i nā hopena pōpilikia e like me ka mea i kapa ʻia i ka lawe ʻana i kahi kōkua kanaka e pono ai.
Eia nō naʻe, ke kākau ʻōlelo o ka mokuʻāina ʻo US Mike Pompeo hai mai la, ka lohi o ka lā ma ka Lāpule, Ianuali 10th, kona manaʻo e hele i mua me ka inoa.
Ua kapa ʻia ʻo Senator Chris Murphy i kēia inoa FTO ʻo “ʻōlelo make”No nā kaukani Yemen. "90% o nā meaʻai a Yemen i lawe ʻia mai," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia, "a ʻo nā waivers a me nā kōkua kanaka ʻaʻole e ʻae i nā lawe mai i nā ʻoihana, e ʻoki loa i nā meaʻai no ka ʻāina holoʻokoʻa.
Ua pane ikaika nā alakaʻi o US a me ka hapanui o nā pāpāho nui i ka haunaele weliweli ma ka US Capitol, a me ka make weliweli o nā ola he nui i ka wā i kū ai; paʻakikī e hoʻomaopopo i ke kumu o ka luku nui ʻana o ka Trump Administration i ka poʻe hala ʻole ma Yemen i hiki ʻole ke hana i ka huhū a me ke kaumaha nui.
Ma Ianuali 13, ka mea kākau moʻolelo ʻo Iona Craig kaulana ʻo ke kaʻina hana o dehelu kahi "Organization Terrorist Foreign" - hemo iā ia mai ka papa inoa FTO - ʻaʻole i hoʻokō ʻia i loko o kahi manawa i emi iho ma mua o ʻelua mau makahiki. Inā hele ka inoa, hiki i ʻelua mau makahiki ke hoʻohuli i ka pahu weliweli o nā hopena e hoʻomau nei.
Pono ke alakaʻi ʻo Biden e alualu koke i kahi hoʻohuli. Keia kaua hoʻomaka ʻo ka manawa hope loa e noho ana ʻo Joseph Biden i loko o ka keʻena. E pono e pau i kēia manawa: ʻelua mau makahiki ka manawa ʻaʻole iā Yemen.
ʻO nā hoʻopaʻi a me nā poloka ke kaua luku, ke hoʻomāinoino ʻana i ka pōloli a me ka wī hiki ke lilo i mea hana o ke kaua. Ke alakaʻi nei i ka hoʻouka kaua 2003 "Shock and Awe" iā ʻIraka, koi ʻo US i ka hoʻopaʻi hoʻokele waiwai hoʻopaʻi i hoʻopaʻi ʻia i ka poʻe palupalu o ʻIraka, keu hoʻi nā keiki. He mau haneli mau keiki ua make make make nui loa, haʻalele ʻia nā lāʻau a me ka mālama olakino kūpono.
I loko o ia mau makahiki, ua hoʻokumu ʻia nā mana o US me nā pāpaho like me ka mea nui e hoʻāʻo nei iā Saddam Hussein. Akā ʻo ka ʻōlelo a lākou i hoʻouna aku ai i nā kino hoʻomalu ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa i kuhihewa ʻole: inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i kou ʻāina e lawelawe i ko mākou pono aupuni, e haki mākou i kāu poʻe keiki.
ʻAʻole i loaʻa mau iā Yemen kēia leka. I ka manawa i ʻimi ai ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka ʻae a nā United Nations no kāna kaua 1991 i kūʻē iā ʻIraka, ua noho ʻo Yemen i kahi noho manawa ma ka UN Security Council. Ua koho balota ia e kūʻē i nā makemake o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, nona nā kaua koho a puni ka Hikina Waena e hoʻolōʻihi nei.
"ʻO ia ke koho ʻoi loa o ka koho 'No' āu i koho ai," ʻo ka ʻelele a ka US pane ʻoluʻolu i Yemen.
I kēia lā, pōloli nā keiki ma Yemen e nā mōʻī a me nā pelekikena e hui pū nei e kaohi i ka ʻāina a me nā kumuwaiwai. "ʻO ka poʻe Houthis, ka mea e hoʻomalu i kahi hapa nui o ko lākou lāhui, ʻaʻole ia he mea hoʻoweliweli i ka United States a i nā kamaʻāina ʻAmelika," hai aku ʻO James North, e kākau ana no Mondoweiss. "Ke hoʻolaha nei ʻo Pompeo no ka mea ua kākoʻo ʻia nā Houthis e ʻIrana, a ʻo nā ʻalalā a Trump i Saudi Arabia a me Israel makemake i kēia kūkala ma ke ʻano he ʻaoʻao o kā lākou hakakā kūʻē iā Iran."
ʻAʻole nā keiki hoʻoweliweli. Akā ʻo ka luku nui ʻana i ka poʻe hala ʻole ka weliweli. Mai Ianuali 19, 2021, ua kau inoa nā hui 268 i kahi ʻōlelo ae kauoha mai ka pau ʻana o ke kaua ma Yemen. Ma Ianuali 25, "ʻO ka honua e ʻōlelo nei ʻaʻole e kaua kūʻē iā Yemen" e hana ana ia mālama ʻia ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa.
ʻO ia kekahi kiʻi pena a Bruegel, Ka hāʻule ʻana o ʻIcarus, ʻo ka mea haku mele ʻo WH Auden kakau iho la:
"No ka ʻeha ʻaʻole lākou i hewa,
Nā Mākua Kahiko:…
pehea e hana ai
ʻoiai kahi mea ʻē aʻe e ʻai nei a wehe paha i ka puka aniani
a i ʻole ke hele wāwae wale…
pehea e huli ai nā mea āpau
leʻaleʻa iki i ka pōʻino ... ”
Pili kēia peʻa i ka make o hoʻokahi keiki. I Yemen, ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa - ma o kāna mau ʻāpana ʻāpana, - hiki i ka hopena ke make i nā haneli he mau kaukani hou aku. ʻAʻole hiki i nā keiki a Yemen ke pale iā lākou iho; i nā hihia kūpono ʻole o ka malnourishment nui loa, nāwaliwali loa lākou i ka uē ʻana.
ʻAʻole pono mākou e huli aʻe. Pono mākou e hoʻopau i ke kaua weliweli a me ka pale. ʻO ka hana ʻana pēlā e kōkua ai i ka mālama ʻana i nā ola o kekahi o nā keiki a Yemen. ʻO ka manawa kūpono e pale aku i kēia luku ʻana o ka poʻe hala ʻole e waiho iā mākou.
