kuchokera Nkhondo Ndi Uphungu
Pa Januwale 23rd bwato lodzaza anthu ambiri lidagombetsa gombe la Aden ku Southern Yemen. Osuta ananyamula okwera 152 ochokera ku Somalia ndi Ethiopia m'bwatomo ndipo, pomwe ali kunyanja, akuti adawombera mfuti anthu osamukawo kuti awapatse ndalama zowonjezera. Bwato m'mavuto, malinga ndi a The Guardian, kuwomberaku kudawonjezera mantha. Chiwopsezo chaimfa, pakadali pano 30, chikuyembekezeka kukwera. Ana ambiri anali atakwera.
Apaulendo anali atayesapo kale pachiwopsezo cha paulendo wochoka ku Africa kupita ku Yemen, msewu wowopsa womwe umasiyira anthu pachiwopsezo cha malonjezo abodza, olanda anzawo, kuwatsekereza mosavomerezeka ndikuphwanya ufulu wachibadwidwe wa anthu. Kutaya mtima pazosowa zoyambira kwathamangitsa mazana masauzande aku Africa osamukira ku Yemen. Ambiri akuyembekeza, akafika, amatha kupita kumayiko olemera a Gulf kumpoto komwe akapezeko ntchito ndi chitetezo. Koma kusimidwa ndikumenya nkhondo kumwera kwa Yemen kunali kowopsa mokwanira kutsimikizira osamuka ambiri omwe adakwera bwato lozunza pa Januwale 23rd kuti ayesere ndi kubwerera ku Africa.
Ponena za iwo omwe anamira pomwe bwatolo lidayenda, Amnesty International's Lynn Maalouf Anati: "Zomvetsa chisoni izi zikutsindikanso, momwe nkhondo ya ku Yemen ikupitirirabe kwa anthu wamba. Pakati pa adani osaletseka ndi zoletsa zomwe mabungwe aku Saudi Arabia akutsogolera, anthu ambiri omwe abwera ku Yemen kuthawa nkhondo ndi kuponderezana kwina tsopano akukakamizidwa kuti athawire kwina kukafuna chitetezo. Ena akufa. ”
Mu 2017, kuposa Osamukira ku 55,000 aku Africa adafika ku Yemen, ambiri a iwo achichepere ochokera ku Somalia ndi Ethiopia komwe kuli ntchito zochepa ndipo chilala chadzaoneni chikukakamiza anthu kutsala pang'ono kufa ndi njala. Ndizovuta kukonza kapena kugula mayendedwe kupitirira Yemen. Osamukira kumayiko ena akukodwa nawo mdziko losauka kwambiri m'chigawo cha Arab, chomwe pano, pamodzi ndi mayiko angapo omwe akukhudzidwa ndi chilala ku North Africa, akukumana ndi tsoka lalikulu kuyambira nthawi ya nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse. Ku Yemen, anthu mamiliyoni asanu ndi atatu ali pafupi kufa ndi njala chifukwa cha nkhondo zomwe zikuchitika pafupi ndi njala zimasiya mamiliyoni opanda chakudya ndi madzi akumwa abwino. Anthu opitilila miliyoni adadwala kolera pachaka chapitachi ndipo malipoti aposachedwa akuwonjezera miliri ya diphtheria. Nkhondo yapachiweniweni yachulukitsa ndikukulitsa mavutowo pomwe, kuyambira mwezi wa Machi wa 2015, mgwirizano wotsogolera ku Saudi, wolumikizidwa ndi kuthandizidwa ndi US, wakhala akwaphulitsa anthu wamba komanso zomangamanga ku Yemen pomwe akusunganso chipinda chomwe chimaletsa mayendedwe a chakudya chomwe chimafunikira ndi mankhwala.
Maalouf apempha anthu apadziko lonse lapansi kuti "ayimitse zida zankhondo zomwe zitha kugwiritsidwa ntchito pamkangano." Pomvera kuyitanidwa kwa Maalouf, anthu apadziko lonse lapansi pamapeto pake ayenera kuletsa umbombo wa omanga mayiko omwe amapanga phindu pogulitsa Saudi Arabia, mabiliyoni a zida. United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain ndi maiko ena mumgwirizano wotsogozedwa ndi Saudi. Mwachitsanzo, mu Novembala, lipoti la 2017 Reuters linatero Saudi Arabia wavomera kuti agule pafupifupi $ biliyoni ya $ 7 biliyoni kuchokera kwa omanga chitetezo ku US. UAE yagulanso mabiliyoni azida azankhondo aku America.
A Raytheon ndi Boeing ndi makampani omwe adzapindule kwambiri ndi mgwirizano womwe unali gawo la mgwirizano wa zida za $ 110 biliyoni zomwe zikugwirizana ndi ulendo wa Purezidenti Donald Trump ku Saudi Arabia mu Meyi.
Kuwoloka kwina kowopsa kudachitika m'derali sabata yatha. Mneneri waku Nyumba ya US a Paul Ryan (R-WI) adafika ku Saudi Arabia, limodzi ndi nthumwi ya msonkhano, kukakumana ndi mfumu ya mfumu Salman kenako mtsogoleri wa Saudi Crown Mohammed bin Salman yemwe adayambitsa nkhondo yotsogolera ku Saudi Yemani ku Yemen . Pambuyo pa ulendowu, Ryan ndi nthumwi zawo adakumana ndi osakwatiwa ochokera ku UAE.
"Tsimikizani", adatero Ryan, polankhula ndi asungwana achichepere ku AUE, "sitiimilira mpaka ISIS, al-Qaeda, ndi othandizira awo agonjetsedwa ndipo sichikuwopsezanso United States ndi anzathu.
"Kachiwiri, ndipo koposa zonse, tikuyang'ana ku kuwopsa kwa dziko la Irani."
Kupitilira pa umboni wosatsutsika wokhudza chuma chambiri cha Saudi pakugawana zachisilamu, zomwe Ryan adanenazo zikuwonetsa kuti gulu lankhondo lankhondo la Saudi lachita nkhondo ndi "ntchito zapadera" ku Yemen, komwe US idathandizira ndikugwirizana nawo. Nkhondoyo ikuwunikira motsutsana kuti kuyesetsa kuthana ndi magulu aanthu a jihadist, omwe atukuka mu chipwirikiti cha nkhondoyi, makamaka kumwera komwe kumayendetsedwa ndi boma logwirizana ndi Saudi Arabia.
Boma la Irani Ryan ladzudzula kuti lili ndi ogwirizana ku Yemen ndipo mwina likubweretsa zida zankhondo ku Iran, koma palibe amene awanenetsa kuti apereka zigawenga za ku Houthi ndi mabomba a magulu osokoneza, zida zopangira ma laser ndi sitima zankhondo (pafupi ndi gombe) zonyamula zombo kuti zisafike kumadoko ofunikira kuthetsa mavuto. Iran sapereka chiwonetsero cha ndege zapamtunda zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pakuphulitsa mabomba tsiku lililonse ku Yemen. US idagulitsa zonsezi kumayiko omwe ali mothandizidwa ndi Saudi omwe, pomwepo, adagwiritsa ntchito zida izi kuwononga maziko a Yemen komanso kupanga chisokonezo ndikuwonjezera mavuto pakati pa nzika za ku Yemen.
Ryan sanatchulepo chilichonse chokhudza njala, matenda, ndi kusamutsidwa komwe kukuvutitsa anthu ku Yemen. Ananyalanyaza kutchula nkhanza zakuphonya kwa ufulu wachibadwidwe mu ndende zomwe zimayendetsedwa ndi UAE kum'mwera kwa Yemen. Ryan ndi nthumwi yake adapanga chovuta chokhudza nkhawa ya moyo wa anthu zomwe zimabisala zoopsa zenizeni zomwe zikutanthauza kuti ndondomeko za US zakopa anthu aku Yemen ndi madera ozungulira.
Kutha kwa njala kwa ana awo kumawopseza anthu omwe sangathe kupeza chakudya cha mabanja awo. Iwo amene sangathe kupeza madzi akumwa abwino amakhala ndi chiyembekezo chakumwa cham'madzi kapena matenda. Anthu omwe akuthawa bomba, owombera, komanso asitikali ankhondo omwe angawagwirizire mwamphamvu machitidwe awo akunjenjemera pamene akuyesera njira zopulumukira.
A Paul Ryan, ndi nthumwi zamalamulo omwe amayenda naye, anali ndi mwayi wachilendo wothandizira zodandaula za anthu omwe adapangidwa ndi akuluakulu a UN komanso okonza ufulu wa anthu.
M'malo mwake, Ryan adanenanso kuti zokhazokha zokhudzana ndi chitetezo ndizomwe zimawopseza anthu ku US Iye adalonjeza mgwirizano ndi olamulira ankhanza ankhanza omwe amadziwika chifukwa chophwanya ufulu waumunthu m'maiko awo, komanso ku Yemen. Anadzinenera boma la Iran chifukwa choloŵerera m'nkhani zamayiko ena ndikupereka magulu ankhondo ndi ndalama komanso zida. Ndondomeko zakunja zakunja kwa US zidasinthidwa kukhala "anyamata abwino", US ndi anzawo, motsutsana ndi "anyamata oyipawo," - Iran.
"Amuna abwino" akusintha ndikugulitsa mfundo zakunja ku US ndikugulitsa zida ndi zitsanzo zopanda chidwi za osabera omwe amatchova njuga pamiyendo yoopsa kwambiri.
