By World BEYOND War, Malaki 26, 2021

Ladana, ʻAukekulia - Nā lālā o nā hui kūʻē kaua World BEYOND War, Labour Against the Arms Trade, a People no Peace London ke ālai nei i nā ala kaʻaahi kokoke i General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada, kahi hui ʻo Lākana e hana ana i nā kaʻa uila (LAV) no ke Aupuni o Saudi Arabia.

Ke kāhea aku nei nā mea hoʻonāukiuki iā General Dynamics e hoʻopau i kāna hui ʻana i loko o ka hana hoʻomāinoino a Saudi-alakaʻi pūʻali koa i Yemen a kāhea aku i ke aupuni Kanada e hoʻopau i nā mea lawe lima i Saudi Arabia a hoʻonui i ke kōkua kōkua kanaka no ka poʻe o Yemen.

I kēia lā ka piha ʻana o ke ono o ka makahiki o ko Saudi-alakaʻi, ka hui ʻana i kākoʻo ʻia o Western ma ke kaua kūloko o Yemen, e alakaʻi ana i ka ulia pōpilikia aloha kanaka maikaʻi loa o ka honua.

Ua manaʻo ʻia he 24 miliona mau poʻe Yemen e pono ai i nā kōkua kōkua kanaka - kekahi 80% o ka heluna kanaka - i keʻakeʻa ʻia e ka ʻāina hui o Saudi-alakaʻi, ka ea, a me ka poloka kaua moana o ka ʻāina. Mai ka 2015, ua pale kēia ālai i ka ʻai, ka wahie, nā waiwai kalepa a me ke kōkua mai ke komo ʻana i Yemen. Wahi a ka Polokalamu Meaʻai o ka Honua, kokoke ma kahi o 50,000 ka poʻe i Yemen e noho nei i nā ʻano wī me 5 miliona kahi ʻanuʻu wale nō. I mea e hoʻohui ai i ke kūlana weliweli, ʻo Yemen kekahi o nā helu make COVID-19 ʻoi loa o ka hewa ma ka honua, e luku ana iā 1 i ka 4 poʻe e hōʻoia maikaʻi.

ʻOiai ʻo ka maʻi ahulau COVID-19 ākea a kāhea mai nā Aupuni Hui Pū ʻIa no ka pau ʻana o ka honua, ua hoʻomau ʻo Kanada i ka lawe aku i nā mea kaua i Saudi Arabia. I ka makahiki 2019, ua hoʻolilo aku ʻo Kanada i nā mea kaua i waiwai ʻia ma $ 2.8 biliona i ke Aupuni — ma mua o 77 mau manawa o ke kālā kālā o ko Kanada kōkua iā Yemen i ka makahiki hoʻokahi.

Mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka maʻi ahulau, ua hoʻolilo aku ʻo Kanada ma kahi o $ 1.2 biliona kālā i Saudi Arabia, ka hapa nui o ia mau kaʻa uila i hana ʻia e General Dynamics, kahi ʻāpana o kahi $ 15 biliona mau mea kaua i hāʻawi ʻia e ke Aupuni o Kanada. Ke hoʻomau nei nā mea kaua Kanada e hoʻoulu i kahi kaua i alakaʻi i ka pilikia nui o ke aloha kanaka ma ka honua i Yemen a me nā mea make lehulehu.

ʻO nā kaʻa kila māmā i hana ʻia e General Dynamics ma Ladana, Ke lawe ʻia nei e nā kaʻaahi a me nā kalaka i ke awa kahi e hoʻouka ʻia ai lākou ma nā moku Saudi.

"Ma muli o ka pūlima mua ʻana o ka hana lima miliona o ke kālā me Saudi Arabia, ua hoʻolaha ʻia e nā kaiāulu kīwila ʻo Kanada, ua hōʻike ʻia nā palapala noi, ua kūʻē ʻia ma nā keʻena aupuni a me nā mea hana mea kaua ma ʻō a puni ka ʻāina, a ua hāʻawi aku i kekahi mau leka iā Trudeau kahi o nā hui lehulehu e kū ana Ua koi pinepine aku ʻo miliona iā Kanada e hoʻōki i ka lako ʻana i Saudi Arabia "wahi a Rachel Small o World BEYOND War. "Ua haʻalele ʻia mākou me ke koho ʻole ʻia akā e ālai i nā ʻāʻī Kanada i alakaʻi ʻia i Saudi Arabia iā mākou iho."

"Makemake ka poʻe hana i nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo, nā hana maluhia, ʻaʻole nā ​​hana hana i nā mea kaua o ke kaua. E hoʻomau mākou i ke kaomi ʻana i ke aupuni Liberal e hoʻopau i nā mea lawe lima i Saudi Arabia a hana pū me nā ʻuniona e hoʻopaʻa i nā mea ʻē aʻe no nā limahana limahana lima, "wahi a Simon Black o Labor Against the Arms Trade, kahi hui o ka maluhia a me nā limahana hana e hana ana e hoʻopau. Ke komo nei ʻo Kanada i ke kālepa lima kaua kūwaho.
