Ma Pepeluali 4, i kāna mua ʻōlelo kūhelu nui o nā ʻāina ʻē, Ua hoʻolaha ʻo Pelekikena Joe Biden "ke hoʻopau nei mākou i ke kākoʻo ʻAmelika a pau no nā hana hōʻino i ke kaua ma Yemen, e like me nā kūʻai lima kūpono." E kamaʻilio ana no ka hui pūʻali koa Saudi-alakaʻi e kaua ana ma Yemen mai ka 2015, e hoʻokumu ana i ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo "kahi pōpilikia kōkua kanaka a me ka hoʻolālā," ua ʻōlelo ʻo Biden "E pau kēia kaua.
Ke hōʻike nei i kahi manaʻo ʻaʻole hoʻokō ia a noonoo ʻo ka hoʻohiki hou a Biden, "e hoʻomau i ke kākoʻo a kōkua iā Saudi Arabia e pale aku i kona kūʻokoʻa a me kona kūwaho teritori a me kona poʻe," ʻo kāna hoʻohana ʻana i ka huaʻōlelo "pili" e hoʻololi i nā "kūʻai lima" hiki ke hōʻike kahi puka lou pono. Eia nō naʻe, ʻoluʻolu ka lohe ʻana i kahi pelekikena US ma ka liʻiliʻi ʻike i ka hōʻeha ʻia ʻana o ka poʻe Yemeni i kahi "luku palena ʻole" a ʻo ia ka hopena o ka hana nui a nā poʻe hoʻoulu maluhia a puni ka honua.
Inā paha he mea nui ka hoʻolaha ʻana o Biden i ka honua maoli ma mua o ka paʻa ʻana o nā mea kaua i hana ʻia e Trump ma mua o ka haʻalele ʻana i ke keʻena e ʻike ʻia. Ke aupuni Saudi mahalo ʻO kā Biden kūkala ʻana a me nā mea kūʻai aku i nā mea kaua o ʻAmelika i loaʻa ka waiwai i ke kaua me he mea lā ʻaʻole i lulu ʻia e ka nūhou. "Nānā," Raytheon Technologies CEO Greg Hayes ua hōʻoia hou ʻia ke kakali nei nā mea hoʻopukapuka i kēia neʻe, "ʻaʻole e puka ka maluhia ma ka Hikina Waena i kēlā me kēia manawa. Manaʻo wau he wahi ia e hoʻomau ai mākou e ʻike i ka ulu paʻa. ” ʻO ka prospect no ka maluhia ma Yemen ka mea i hilinaʻi nui ʻia i ka kaomi kūwaho kūpaʻa ma mua o ka hoʻokipa maikaʻi a me ka haʻahaʻa i ka White House.
ʻO ka lawelawe noiʻi noiʻi ʻo Congressional i kahi hōʻike i hoʻohou ʻia ma Kēkēmapa 8, 2020, "Yemen: Ke Kaua Kivila a me nā Hana Āpana," kuhikuhi i kekahi kumu nui i ka hoʻolālā kulekele US e pili ana iā Yemen i haʻi ʻole ʻia e ka pelekikena. Ma kahi o ʻelima mau miliona mau barela aila e hele ma waena o ka Bab el-Mandeb Strait ma ke kahakai komohana o Yemen i kēlā me kēia lā, a hele i Asia, ʻEulopa, a me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
Inā i hāʻawi ka pelekikena i ka manaʻo kuhi hewa e puka ana ka US mai ka ʻoihana o ka luku ʻana iā Yemenis, i ka lā aʻe o ka ʻOihana Mokuʻāina hoopukaia he olelo hoakaka, "ʻO ka mea nui, ʻaʻole pili kēia i nā hana hōʻeha kūʻē iā ISIS a i ʻole AQAP." I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, ʻo nā mea āpau e pili ana i nā kūʻai mea kaua i nā Saudi, ke kaua i hoʻoili ʻia no 21 mau makahiki ma lalo o ke ʻano o ka ʻApono no ka Hoʻohana ʻana i ka Pūʻali Koa i hala e ka ʻaha kūkā e ʻae ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana o ka Pūʻali Koa US e kūʻē i nā kuleana no ka ʻo ka hoʻouka kaua ʻo Sepatemaba 11, e hoʻomau mau loa ia, ʻoiai ʻo ka ISIS a ʻo Al Qaeda hoʻi ma ka ʻAlapia ʻAlapia i noho ai ma 2001.
ʻO nā "hana hōʻeha" ma Yemen e hoʻomau ma lalo o Biden e komo pū ana me nā drone (UAV), nā lele lele lele a me nā hoʻouka kaua kūikawā US a he ʻāpana o ka "kaua i ka weliweli" nui i hoʻomaka i ka hoʻomalu o George W. Bush a ua hoʻonui ʻia ma lalo o Obama. Me kāna mau ʻōlelo hoʻohiki e hoʻopau ana i nā "kaua mau loa," a hoike mai Airwars e ʻōlelo nei ua hoʻopahū ʻo Trump i Yemen ma mua o kāna mau mua i hui pū ʻia.
I Ianuali, 2017, mau lā wale nō ma hope o ka lawe ʻana i ke keʻena, Kauoha ʻo Trump i nā kauoha a ka Navy Seal kākoʻo ʻia e ka Reaper drone uhi uhi e hoʻouka i kahi hui i manaʻo ʻia no ka mālama ʻana i nā luna o al Qaeda i ka Arabian Peninsula. ʻOiai ua pakele nā pahuhopu o ka hoʻouka kaua, ua make kekahi Navy Seal i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana, a ma hope ua puka pū kekahi ua make pū kekahi 30 Yemenis, me 10 mau wahine a me nā keiki. ʻAʻole wale ʻo ka Navy Seal ka makaʻāina o ʻAmelika i make i kēlā hoʻouka kaua: ʻo kekahi he kaikamahine nona ka makahiki 8, ʻo Nawar Awlaki. I Kepakemapa, 2011, ka makuakāne o Nawar, ʻo imam Yemeni-ʻAmelika ʻo Anwar Awlaki, i pepehi ʻia i loko o kahi ʻōkuhi drone ma Yemen i kauoha ʻia e Pelekikena Obama, ma ka ʻike huna ʻo ia he al Qaeda operative. I kekahi mau lā ma hope o ka make ʻana o kona makuakāne, ua make ʻo Nawar's 16 makahiki Denver hānau ke kaikaina ʻo Abdulrahman i kahi hana drone hou.
Ua ʻeha nā ʻohana Yemeni ʻē aʻe i kēia mau hoʻouka kaua. Ma Ianuali 26, 2021, ʻohana o 34 mau Yemen i ʻōlelo ʻia ua make i ka hana pūʻali koa ʻAmelikaUa noi aku ke Komisina Inter-American on Human Rights, e hoʻoholo inā he kū ʻole i ka make nā kānāwai. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ka palapala noi eono hahau drone a hoʻokahi hana kūikawā kūikawā i ka wā o ko Obama a me nā luna o Trump i hōʻeha i nā ʻohana ʻelua.
ʻO nā helu helu e pili ana i ke kaua US ma Yemen he paʻakikī e hiki mai, ma kahi hapa no ka mea he nui nā hoʻouka e lawe malū ʻia e ka CIA a ʻaʻole na ka pūʻali koa, akā ʻo ka Airwars a me nā noiʻi ʻē aʻe e helu i ka nui o nā drone strikes a me kā lākou mau mea i conservative i nā haneli. ʻO ka alakaʻi ke kaua i Saudi Arabia, ʻokoʻa, ʻoi aku ma mua o 100,000 i make me ka ʻaneʻane make i ka pōloli a me nā maʻi i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka Saudi blockade a me nā miliona o Yemenis i hoʻonele ʻia i ka meaʻai a me nā pono ʻē aʻe.
ʻOiai ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka nui o ka make, ua hoʻokae ʻia ka hopena drone o ka US drone i ka kaiāulu Yemeni. ʻO kahi kānana 2014 like o nā hōʻailona o ka Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder ma waena o nā makaʻāinana e ka Alkarama Foundation i ʻike "no ka nui o ka lehulehu ma Yemen, e noho ana ma lalo o kahi lewa i lilo i kumu mau o ka trauma he mea ia i kēlā me kēia lā" a ma lalo o ka hoʻouka kaua a me ka nānā ʻana, ʻO Yemen "kahi manawa kūpilikiʻi a kahi wahi kūikawā hoʻi, kahi e lilo ai nā lani i mea weliweli a nalowale kekahi hanauna i ka makaʻu a me ka ʻeha mau."
Inā manaʻo ʻia nā Pūʻali Kūʻokoʻa a me nā ea e hoʻohoka i ka hoʻoweliweli ma Yemen e like me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe e hoʻouka kaua ʻia ana. hopena kūlike ʻole. ʻOiai he ʻōpio, lohi, ka mea kākau Yemeni ʻo Ibrahim Mothana haʻi aku i ka ʻAhaʻōlelo i 2013, "Ke hana nei nā ʻōkuhi Drone i ka nui a me ka nui o ka poʻe Yemenis e inaina iā ʻAmelika a hui pū me nā pūʻali koa radical. … Minamina, ke nānā nui nei nā leo lokomaikaʻi i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, inā ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia, ka make kīwila a me ka pepehi kanaka extrajudicial ma Yemen. "
ʻO kā Mothana nānā e pili ana i nā leo liberal i ka US "nānā nui ʻole, inā ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia, make kanaka kīwila a me ka pepehi kanaka extrajudicial ma Yemen" i hōʻoia ʻia ma ka hoʻoulu kaua 2016 a Senator Bernie Sanders no ka pelekikena. ʻOiai ʻo Sanders i ʻōlelo wahaheʻe i kona kūʻē ʻana i ka Saudi alakaʻi alakaʻi kaua, ma ke ʻano he moho pelekikena ua hōʻike pinepine ʻo ia i kāna kākoʻo i nā kaua drone a Obama. "ʻO kēlā mau mea āpau a me nā mea hou aʻe," Ua pane ʻo ia i ka nīnau ʻia ʻana inā, ma ke ʻano he pelekikena, e hana ana nā drones a me nā Pūʻali Kūlana i kāna mau papa hana hoʻoweliweli kūʻē. Eia hou, i ka hoʻonā 2019 "E kuhikuhi i ka lawe ʻia ʻana o ka Pūʻali Koa o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa mai nā hoʻouka kaua ʻana ma ka Repubalika o Yemen" hāʻawi ʻia e Sanders, hala i nā hale ʻelua o ka ʻAhaʻōlelo a vetoed e Trump, hāʻawi ʻia i ke komo ʻana o US i kēia kaua ʻē aʻe: Hana ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i nā hana i kuhikuhi ʻia ma al Qaeda a i ʻole nā pūʻali i pili. ”
Ma kā Biden ʻōlelo haole kulekele ʻē aʻe, ua wehe ʻo ia i ka hiki ke kūʻai aku i nā mea kaua i kāna hoʻohiki ʻana i kāna kūpaʻa "e hoʻomau i ke kākoʻo a kōkua iā Saudi Arabia e pale aku i kona kūʻokoʻa a me ka pono o ka ʻāina a me kona poʻe." ʻO nā mea hoʻoweliweli ke alo o Saudi Arabia, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, nā hoʻouka kaua kaua a me nā mea kaua a UAV (drone) mai nā mea kaua āna i ʻōlelo ai na Iran i hoʻolako. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua hoʻouka kaua nā kipi Yemeni Houthi Ansar Allah i Saudi Arabia, ʻo ka mea nui loa ʻo Kepakemapa 14, 2019 hoʻouka kaua ma Saudi Aramco nā refineries i hoʻohaunaele i nā lako aila ʻaila o ka honua. He mea hoʻohenehene ia, ma hope o ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana a ka US iā Yemen me nā tausani o nā missile Hellfire i hoʻouka ʻia mai Predator drones no 20 mau makahiki, pono i ka US i kēia manawa Saudi Arabia e pale iā ia iho (a me kā mākou lako aila) mai nā drones a me nā missiles Yemeni.
ʻAʻole he mea kupanaha ka hoʻolaha honua ʻana o nā drone mea kaua a no ka noi ʻana a Biden no ka maluhia ma Yemen e ʻae ʻia ka hoʻohana mau ʻana o kahi puha. Ke hāʻawi nei i kahi pass, ke hoʻomau nei e nānā ʻole, inā ʻaʻole ʻae, ka make kīwila a me ka pepehi kanaka extrajudicial ma Yemen a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe ʻaʻole e lawe i ka maluhia akā e hōʻoia i nā hanauna e hiki mai ana, nā mea loaʻa kālā e like me Raytheon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin a me General Atomics, "e hoʻomau. e ʻike i ka ulu ʻana. ” ʻO ka maluhia ma Yemen, ka maluhia ma ka honua, ke koi nei ma lalo o ka hopena o ka hana, kālepa a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā drone mea kaua.
ʻO Brian Terrell kahi mea hana maluhia ma Iowa i hala ma mua o ʻeono mau mahina i loko o ka hale paʻahao no ke kūʻē ʻana i ka poʻe i hoʻomake ʻia i nā kahua drone pūʻali koa US. Hoʻokaʻaʻike: brian1956terrell@gmail.com
