Ndi Kathy Kelly
Kuphulika kwa bomba la 2003 Shock and Awe ku Iraq, gulu la omenyera ufulu wa anthu omwe amakhala ku Baghdad amapita kumadera amzindawu omwe anali ofunikira kwambiri kuti azikhala ndi thanzi labwino ku Baghdad, monga zipatala, zida zamagetsi, malo oyeretsa madzi, ndi masukulu, ndi kumangirira zikwangwani zazikulu za vinyl pakati pa mitengo kunja kwa nyumbazi zomwe zimati: "Kuphulitsa Tsambali Kungakhale Mlandu Wankhondo." Tidalimbikitsa anthu m'mizinda yaku US kuti achite zomwezo, kuyesa kuchitira chifundo anthu omwe atsekeredwa ku Iraq, kuyembekezera kuphulika koopsa kwa ndege.
Zachisoni, zomvetsa chisoni, zikwangwani ziyenera kudzudzulanso milandu yankhondo, nthawi ino ikugwirizana ndi kulira kwa mayiko chifukwa mu ola la ndege zomwe zachitika kale. Loweruka m'mawa, US idaphulitsa bomba chipatala cha Doctors Without Borders ku Kunduz, malo omwe amatumikira mzinda wachisanu waukulu kwambiri ku Afghanistan ndi madera ozungulira.
Asitikali aku US / NATO adachita nawo ndegeyo pafupifupi 2AM pa October 3. Madokotala Popanda Borders anali atadziwitsa kale asitikali aku US, NATO ndi Afghan zaku madera awo kuti afotokoze bwino kuti gulu lawo, kukula kwa bwalo la mpira, ndi chipatala. Mabomba oyambilira atagunda, ogwira ntchito zachipatala nthawi yomweyo adayimbira foni ku likulu la NATO kuti afotokoze za kumenyedwa kwawo, komabe kumenyedwa kunapitilira, pakadutsa mphindi 15, mpaka. 3: 15 am, kupha anthu 22. 12 mwa akufa anali ogwira ntchito zachipatala; khumi anali odwala, ndipo atatu mwa odwalawo anali ana. Anthu enanso 37 avulala. Munthu wina amene anapulumuka ananena kuti gawo loyamba la chipatalacho kugundidwa linali la anthu odwala kwambiri.
"Odwala anali kuwotcha m'mabedi awo," adatero namwino wina, yemwe adawona ndi maso ku ICU." Palibe mawu ofotokozera momwe zinalili zovuta. Ndege zaku US zidapitilirabe, ngakhale akuluakulu a Doctors Without Borders atadziwitsa asitikali aku US, NATO ndi Afghanistan kuti ndege zankhondo zikuukira chipatalachi.
Asitikali a Taliban alibe mphamvu zamlengalenga, ndipo zombo zankhondo za Afghan Air Force zili pansi pa US, kotero zinali zoonekeratu kuti US idachita mlandu wankhondo.
Asilikali a ku America ati nkhaniyi ikufufuzidwa. Winanso mosalekeza wa kupepesa kosatha; kumva kuwawa kwa mabanja koma kukhululukira onse ochita zisankho kumawoneka ngati kosapeweka. Madokotala Opanda Malire apempha kuti afufuze momveka bwino, odziyimira pawokha, osonkhanitsidwa ndi bungwe lovomerezeka padziko lonse lapansi komanso osakhudzidwa mwachindunji ndi US kapena gulu lina lililonse lomwe likulimbana ndi nkhondo ya Afghanistan. Ngati kufufuzidwa koteroko kukuchitika, ndikutha kutsimikizira kuti izi zidachitika mwadala, kapena ngati mlandu wankhondo wonyalanyaza mwadala, ndi anthu angati aku America omwe angaphunzirepo za chigamulochi?
Milandu yankhondo imatha kuvomerezedwa ikachitidwa ndi adani aboma aku US, ngati ali othandiza kulungamitsa kuwukira ndi kuyesetsa kusintha maboma.
Kafukufuku wina yemwe a US adalephera kuchita anganene kuti Kunduz amafunikira chipatalachi. US ikhoza kufufuza malipoti a SIGAR ("Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction") owerengera "zipatala zothandizidwa ndi ndalama zaku US ku Afghanistan," zomwe zimathandizidwa ndi USAID, zomwe sizingapezeke, malo 189 omwe amaganiziridwa kuti palibe nyumba zomwe zili mkati mwa 400. mapazi. Mu June 25 wawoth kalata yomwe adalemba modabwitsa, "Kuwunika koyambirira kwa ofesi yanga ya data ya USAID ndi zithunzi za geospatial zatipangitsa kukayikira ngati USAID ili ndi chidziwitso cholondola cha malo a 510 - pafupifupi 80 peresenti - mwa zipatala 641 zothandizidwa ndi pulogalamu ya PCH." Imazindikira kuti malo asanu ndi limodzi a Afghanistan ali ku Pakistan, asanu ndi limodzi ku Tajikstan, ndi amodzi ku Nyanja ya Mediterranean.
Tsopano zikuwoneka kuti tapanganso chipatala china cha mizimu, osati chopanda mpweya nthawi ino koma kuchokera ku makoma a malo ofunikira kwambiri omwe tsopano awonongeka, momwe matupi a ogwira ntchito ndi odwala atulutsidwa. Ndipo popeza chipatalacho chatayika chifukwa cha anthu omwe ali ndi mantha, mizukwa ya chiwembuchi ilinso, ndipo palibe amene angathe kuiwerenga. Koma m'sabatayi isanachitike, ogwira ntchito ake adachiritsa anthu ovulala 345, 59 mwa iwo anali ana.
US idadziwonetsa kwanthawi yayitali ngati msilikali woopsa kwambiri ku Afghanistan, ndikupereka chitsanzo chankhanza zomwe zimawopseza anthu akumidzi omwe amadabwa kuti angatembenukire kwa ndani kuti atetezedwe. Mu Julayi 2015, ndege zophulitsa mabomba ku US zidaukira gulu lankhondo la Afghanistan m'chigawo cha Logar, kupha asitikali khumi. Pentagon idati chochitika ichi chikafufuzidwanso. Palibe umboni wapagulu wa kafukufukuyu womwe ukuwoneka kuti waperekedwa. Si nthawi zonse ngakhale kupepesa.
Kumeneku kunali kupha anthu ambiri, kaya ndi mosasamala kapena mwachidani. Njira imodzi yolumikizirana nawo, osafuna kufunsa kokha koma kutha kwa milandu yonse yankhondo yaku US ku Afghanistan, ingakhale kusonkhana kutsogolo kwa zipatala, zipatala kapena malo ovulala, kunyamula zikwangwani zomwe zimati, "Ku Bomba. Malo Amenewa Adzakhala Upandu Pankhondo.” Itanani ogwira ntchito m’chipatala kuti abwere nawo kumsonkhanowu, adziwitse atolankhani akumaloko, ndi kukhala ndi chikwangwani chowonjezera chonena kuti: “Zimodzimodzinso ku Afghanistan.”
Tiyenera kutsimikizira ufulu wa anthu aku Afghanistan pa chithandizo chamankhwala ndi chitetezo. A US akuyenera kupatsa ofufuza mwayi wopeza mwayi kwa omwe apanga zisankho pazachiwembuchi ndikulipira kuti amangenso chipatalacho ndikubwezera zowawa zomwe zidachitika pazaka khumi ndi zinayi zankhondo komanso chipwirikiti chopangidwa mwankhanza. Pomaliza, komanso chifukwa cha mibadwo yamtsogolo, tiyenera kugwira ufumu wathu womwe udathawa ndikuupanga kukhala mtundu womwe titha kuuletsa kuchita nkhanza zosaneneka zomwe ndi nkhondo.
