Wolemba Medea Benjamini, Novembala 22, 2019
Ndikulemba kuchokera ku Bolivia patangodutsa masiku ochepa kuchokera pamene ndachitira umboni za kuphedwa kwa asitikali a Novembala 19 ku malo osungirako mafuta a Senkata mumzinda wa El Alto, komanso kugwetsa misozi yanyumba yamtendere pa Novembala 21 kuti ikumbukire akufa. Izi ndi zitsanzo, mwatsoka, za modus ophatikizidwa ndi boma la de facto omwe adalamulira pomenyera ufulu womwe udapangitsa kuti Evo Morales atuluke.
Izi zikuyambitsa ziwonetsero zazikulu, ndipo zipolowe zakhazikitsidwa kuzungulira dzikolo ngati mbali imodzi yachitetezo chamtunduwu chomwe chikufuna kuti boma lichoke. Malo amodzi okonzedweratu ali ku El Alto, kumene nzika zimakhazikitsa zotchinga mozungulira gasi la Senkata, kuletsa osoka kuti asiye mbewuyo ndikudula gwero lalikulu la mafuta la La Paz.
Pofunitsitsa kuthana ndi malire, boma lidatumiza ma helikopita, akasinja komanso asitikali okhala ndi zida zambiri madzulo a Novembala 18. Tsiku lotsatira, apolisi adayamba kugwa pomwe asitikali adayamba kubalalitsa anthu, kenako kuwombera m'khamulo. Ndinafika nditangowombera. Okhala okwiyawo adanditengera kuzipatala zakomweko komwe ovulalawo adanditengera. Ndidawona madotolo ndi anamwino akufuna kwambiri kupulumutsa miyoyo, akuchita maopaleshoni mwadzidzidzi m'malo ovuta chifukwa cha kuchepa kwa zida zamankhwala. Ndidawona mitembo isanu ndi anthu ambiri okhala ndi mabala owonongera. Ena anali atangoyenda kupita kuntchito atakomedwa ndi zipolopolo. Mayi wachisoni yemwe mwana wake wamwamuna adawombera adafuwula nati: "Akutipha ngati agalu." Mapeto ake, a 8 adamwalira.
Tsiku lotsatira, mpingo wakomweko unasungidwa mosungira anthu akufa, mitembo-ena akumathirabe magazi-atayikidwa m'mipando ndi madokotala akuwunika. Mazana adasonkhana panja kutonthoza mabanja ndikupereka ndalama kumabokosi ndi maliro. Adalira maliro akufa, ndikutembelela boma pazomwe zachitika komanso atolankhani akumaloko chifukwa chokana kunena zoona pazomwe zidachitika.
Nkhani zadzikoli zokhudza Senkata zinali zodabwitsa ngati kusowa kwa zithandizo zamankhwala. Boma la de facto lachita adawopseza atolankhani powukira ngati angafalitse "zododometsa" polemba zionetsero, ambiri samabwera. Omwe amachita zambiri amafalitsa tizilombo toyambitsa matenda. Wailesi yakanema yayikulu inanena kuti anthu atatu afa ndipo akuti ziwawazo zachitika kwa otsutsawo, ndikupereka nthawi kwa nduna yatsopano ya Zachitetezo a Fernando Lopez omwe anena zopanda pake kuti asirikali sanawombere "chipolopolo chimodzi" ndikuti "magulu achigawenga" ayesa kugwiritsa ntchito dynamite kuswa chomera cha mafuta.
Ndizosadabwitsa kuti anthu ambiri aku Bolivia sadziwa zomwe zikuchitika. Ndafunsa ndipo ndalankhula ndi anthu ambiri kumbali zonse ziwiri za ndale. Ambiri mwa omwe amathandizira boma la de facto amalungamitsa kukankhidwaku ngati njira yobwezeretsanso bata. Amakana kuyitanitsa Purezidenti Evo Morales 'kuthana ndi boma ndipo akuti panali zachinyengo pazisankho za October 20 zomwe zidayambitsa mkanganowu. Izi zabodza, zomwe zidachitika chifukwa cha lipoti la bungwe la American America, akhala opunduka ndi Center for Economic and Policy Research, tank loganiza ku Washington, DC
Morales, Purezidenti woyamba wachikhalidwe m'dziko lomwe lili ndi anthu ambiri, adakakamizidwa kuthawira ku Mexico atatha, banja lake komanso atsogoleri achipani atawopsezedwa kuti amupha ndikuwopseza - kuphatikiza kuwotcha nyumba ya mlongo wake. Ngakhale anthu angamudzudzule bwanji Evo Morales, makamaka lingaliro lake lofuna kutenga gawo lachinayi, sizingatsutsike kuti amayang'anira kukula kwachuma komwe kumachepetsa umphawi ndi kusalingana. Anabweretsanso bata kudziko lomwe lili ndi mbiri ya kuphatikiza ndi zopititsa patsogolo. Mwinanso koposa zonse, Morales anali chizindikiro kuti nzika zakumaloko sizingathenso kunyalanyazidwa. Boma la de facto laipitsa zikhalidwe zakomwe ndipo likuumiriza ukulu wa Chikhristu ndi Baibulo kuposa zikhalidwe miyambo yomwe purezidenti wodziyimira yekha, a Jeanine Añez, adziwa kuti "satana." Kukula kwachilendo kumeneku sikunathere pa oteteza mbadwa zawo, omwe amafuna kulemekeza chikhalidwe ndi miyambo yawo.
A Jeanine Añez, yemwenso anali membala wachitatu pantchito ya Senate yaku Bolivia, adadzilumbirira ngati Purezidenti waku Morales atasiya ntchito, ngakhale sanakhale ndi kakhalidwe kofunikira kunyumba yamalamulo kuti amuvomereze ngati Purezidenti. Anthu omwe ali patsogolo pake pamzere wotsatira - onse omwe ali m'chipani cha Morales 'MAS - adasiya ntchito. M'modzi mwa iwo ndi a Victor Borda, Purezidenti wa nyumba yotsika ya msonkhano, yemwe adachoka nyumba yawo itawotchedwa ndipo m'bale wake watengedwa.
Atatenga ulamuliro, boma la Áñez linaopseza kuti lingaimitse aphungu a MAS, likuwayimba mlandu kuti "kupanduka ndi kupandukira", Ngakhale chipanichi chili ndi ambiri muzipinda zonse ziwiri zamisonkhano. Boma la de facto pomwepo lidalandilidwa padziko lonse lapansi pambuyo pakupereka lamulo lololeza asitikali ankhondo pokonzekera kukhazikitsanso dongosolo komanso kukhazikika. Lamuloli lafotokozedwa ngati "chiphaso kupha” ndi “mapu blanche”Kupondereza, ndipo zachitika adatsutsidwa mwamphamvu ndi Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
Zotsatira za lamuloli zakhala imfa, kuponderezana komanso kuphwanya kwakukulu kwa ufulu wa anthu. Mu sabata ndi theka chichitikireni chithandizochi, anthu a 32 amwalira pazionetsero, ovulala kuposa 700. Mikangano iyi ikupita mosalephera ndipo ndikuwopa kuti ingowonjezereka. Nthawi zambiri pamabungwe ambiri ankhondo ndi apolisi amakana kuonetsa kuti boma likufuna kubweza. Sikovuta kunena kuti izi zitha kuyambitsa nkhondo yapachiweniweni. Ichi ndichifukwa chake anthu aku Bolivia ambiri akufuna kupempha thandizo kudziko lonse. “Asitikali ali ndi mfuti ndi chiphaso kupha; tiribe kalikonse, "analira mayi wina yemwe mwana wawo anali atawomberedwa kumene ku Senkata. "Chonde, uzani anthu apadziko lonse lapansi kuti abwere kudzaletsa izi."
Ndakhala ndikuyitanitsa Michelle Bachelet, a United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights komanso Purezidenti wakale wa Chile, kuti adzandipange pa Bolivia. Ofesi yake ikutumiza ukadaulo ku Bolivia, koma mkhalidwewo umafuna munthu wotchuka. Chilungamo chobwezeretsanso chimafunika kwa omwe achitiridwa nkhanza ndipo kukambirana kumafunikira kuti athetse kusamvana kuti Bolivia ikabwezeretse demokalase. Ms Bachelet amalemekezedwa kwambiri m'chigawochi; kupezeka kwake kungathandize kupulumutsa miyoyo ndikubweretsa mtendere ku Bolivia.
Medea Benjamin ndiye woyambitsa CODEPINK, bungwe lotsogozedwa ndi ufulu wa anthu lotsogozedwa ndi akazi. Wakhala akunena ku Bolivia kuyambira Novembala 14.
