HĀWAI: Ua pale nā mea hana i nā kalaka i ka hui e lawe ana i nā mea kaua i Saudi Arabia, koi iā Kanada e hoʻōki i ka hoʻoulu kaua ʻana ma Yemen
Hamilton, Ontario - Nā lālā a me nā mea kōkua o nā hui kūʻē kaua World BEYOND War a me Labor Against the Arms Trade ke ālai nei i nā kalaka ma Paddock Transport International, kahi hui lawe moku ʻo Hamilton e pili ana i ka hoʻouna ʻana i nā kaʻa māmā i hana ʻia e Kanada i Saudi Arabia.
Ke kāhea aku nei nā mea hoʻāʻo iā Paddock e hoʻopau i kāna kūlike i ke kaua kūpilikiʻi a Saudi i alakaʻi ʻia ma Yemen, ka mea i luku ʻia he aneane hapahā miliona o ka poʻe, a ke kāhea nei i ke aupuni Kanada e hoʻopau i nā mea kaua i lawe aku i Saudi Arabia.
"ʻO ka hōʻike kahi ʻāpana o ka lā global o ka hana kūʻē i ke kaua ma Yemen e hōʻike ana ma mua o 300 mau ʻoihana i 17 mau ʻāina," wahi a Rachel Small o World BEYOND War.
"Ke koi nei nā poʻe ma waena o Kanada i ke aupuni pekelala e hoʻopau koke i nā mea kaua i lawe aku ʻia me Saudi Arabia a hoʻonui i nā kōkua kōkua kanaka no ka poʻe o Yemen."
ʻO Yemen i kēia lā ka mea i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi loa o ka pilikia kōkua kanaka ma ka honua, e like me ka United Nations. Ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia ma mua o 4 miliona mau kānaka ma muli o ke kaua, a 80% o ka heluna kanaka, e like me 12.2 miliona mau keiki, makemake nui i ke kōkua kōkua kanaka. 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 - make ia 1 i ka 4 poʻe e hōʻoia maikaʻi.
ʻO kēia pilikia kōkua kanaka kahi hopena pololei ia o ke kaua Western-back, Saudi-led a me ka hoʻokūkū pōkā pahū i kūʻē iā Yemen mai Malaki Malaki 2015, a me kahi ea, ʻāina a me ka pale kai e pale ai i nā waiwai i makemake nui ʻia a me ke kōkua mai ke kiʻi ka poʻe o Yemen.
ʻOiai ʻo ka maʻi ahulau a me nā kāhea ʻana 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. Mai ka hoʻomaka o ka maʻi ahulau, ua hoʻokuʻu aku ʻo Kanada ma kahi o $ 750 miliona o nā mea kaua i Saudi Arabia, kahi ʻāpana o kahi ʻaelike kaua he $ 15 biliona.
"ʻAʻole maopopo ka hapa nui o nā Kanada i ka hana ʻana o nā mea kaua ma aneʻi e hoʻomau i ka hoʻoulu kaua ʻana i hiki ai i ka make ʻana o nā haneli haneli mau kānaka," wahi a Simon Black, he polofesa ma ke Kula Nui ʻo Brock a he lālā no Labor Against the Arms Trade, kahi hui o ka maluhia a me nā limahana hana e hana ana e hoʻopau i ke komo ʻana o Kanada i ke kālepa kūwaho kūwaho.
"Ua hoʻopau nā ʻāina e like me Kelemania, Pinilana, Netherlands, Denmark a me Kuekene i kā lākou mea kaua me Saudi Arabia," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "ʻAʻohe kumu i hiki ʻole ai iā Kanada ke hana like a kōkua i ka hoʻopau ʻana i kēia kaua."
ʻO nā kaʻa kila māmā i hana ʻia e General Dynamics Land Systems, ma Ladana, Ontario, ke lawe ʻia aku nei i ke awa e Paddock Transport International, kahi e hoʻouka ʻia ai lākou ma nā moku Saudi (e nānā i https://www.facebook.com/chris.hanlon.8626/ nā pou / 10157385425186615).
"Make ke keiki ma Yemen i kēlā me kēia minuke he ʻumi ma muli o kēia kaua weliweli. Ma ke ʻano he makua, pehea e hiki ai iaʻu ke nānā ʻole i nā kaʻa i hana ʻia ma Kanada e ʻōwili pono nei iaʻu i ke ala i kahi hanana aloha kanaka maikaʻi loa ma ka honua? " wahi a Small.
"Makemake ka poʻe hana ma Kanada i nā hana e kōkua ai i kahi kaiāulu ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, kahi nohona maʻemaʻe a me ka honua maluhia, ʻaʻole nā mea hana i nā mea kaua o ke kaua a hōʻeha a pepehi i nā kāne, wahine a me nā keiki hewa ʻole," wahi a Black.
"Pono ʻo Kanada e hui pū me nā aupuni kemokalaka ʻē aʻe ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa a hoʻopau koke i kāna hana ʻana a me ka lawe ʻana aku i nā mea kaua i Saudi Arabia."
KĀWAI
Ua kākau pinepine nā ʻoihana UN a me nā hui aloha kanaka ʻaʻohe hopena koa i hiki i ka hakakā o Yemen i kēia manawa. ʻO ka mea wale nō e hana mau ai nā mea kaua i Yemen e hana nei e hoʻolōʻihi i ka hakakā, a hoʻonui i ka ʻeha a me nā helu o ka poʻe make.
I Kepakemapa 2020, kahi hōʻike a ka UN Group of Emigh International and Regional Experts on Yemen i kapa inoa ʻia ʻo Canada ma ke ʻano he hoʻokahi o nā ʻāina e "hoʻomau i ka hakakā" ma Yemen ma o ke kūʻai aku ʻana i nā mea kaua i Saudi Arabia.
Ma Kepakemapa 17, hoʻokahi makahiki o ko Kanada komo ʻana i ka Kuʻikahi Kūʻai Lapaʻau (ATT), kahi hui o nā hui kaiaulu kūloko e kū nei i kahi ʻāpana o ka hana o Kanada, nā mana lima, nā pono kanaka, nā hui maluhia a me nā hui maluhia i kākau ʻia i wehe He leka i ke Kuhina Nui Trudeau e hōʻike hou ana i kā lākou kūʻē mau i ka hāʻawi ʻana o ke aupuni Liberal i nā palapala hoʻoili kaua i Saudi Arabia. ʻO ka leka kahi ʻāpana o ka lā pan-Kanada o ka hana kūʻē i nā mea kaua i lawe ʻia aku i Saudi Arabia, ka lua o kāna ʻano ma 2020.
He kuikahi kuikahi ka ATT e hoʻomalu i ke kālepa lima. Pono ia i nā mokuʻāina e nānā i nā mea kūʻai aku i nā mea kaua a hoʻoholo inā aia kahi makaʻu hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia lākou e hana a kōkua i nā hana hewa nui i nā kānāwai kūloko kūwaho a i ʻole nā kānāwai kuleana kanaka kūwaho. Pāpā pū kekahi i nā mea kaua e lawe aku i nā ʻāina kahi i loaʻa kahi "pilikia nui" e hōʻino ai lākou i ka maluhia a me ka palekana. He pāʻina mokuʻāina ʻo Kanada i ka ATT no hoʻokahi makahiki a paʻa paʻa ʻia e ke kuʻikahi.
ʻO ka leka ʻo Sepatemaba 17th i ke Kuhina Nui Trudeau ka ʻehā o ia mau leka e hāpai ana i nā hopohopo e pili ana i nā loina koʻikoʻi, ke kānāwai, nā pono kanaka a me nā hopena aloha kanaka o kā Kanada mau mea kaua e lawe aku nei i Saudi Arabia. ʻAʻole i loaʻa i ka poʻe kau inoa ka pane mai ke Kuhina Nui a i ʻole nā kuhina Kuhina e pili ana i kēia mea.
ʻO nā kuleana kū kānāwai ma lalo o ka ATT ʻaʻole i kāpae i ke kākoʻo o ke aupuni Liberal no nā mea kaua i lawe ʻia aku i Saudi Arabia. I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi ua ʻae ʻo Kanada i ka ATT, ua lawe aku nā mea kaua i Saudi Arabia ma mua o ka pāpālua, e hoʻonui ana mai ka $ 1.3 biliona i ka makahiki 2018, a kokoke i $ 2.9 biliona ma 2019. ʻO ka hoʻouka kaua i Saudi Arabia i kēia manawa no 75% o kā Kanada ʻole. -ʻO US hoʻouna kaua. ʻO kā Kanada kōkua aloha aloha no Yemen, $ 40 miliona, pales i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana.
