Mu 1565, Pieter Bruegel Wamkulu analengedwa "Kupha Anthu Osalakwa, ”Yodzutsa mwaluso zaluso zachipembedzo. Chojambulacho amakonzanso a nkhani za m'Baibulo za lamulo la Mfumu Herode kuti aphe ana onse akhanda ku Betelehemu poopa kuti mesiya adabadwira kumeneko. Chojambula cha Bruegel chimapangitsa nkhanza m'masiku ano, 16th Mzinda wa Century Flemish ukuwukiridwa ndi asirikali okhala ndi zida zambiri.
Kuwonetsa zochitika zingapo zankhanza zowopsa, Bruegel akuwonetsa mantha ndi chisoni chomwe chimaperekedwa kwa anthu okhala m'mudzimo omwe sangateteze ana awo. Wosasangalala ndi zithunzi zakupha ana, Emperor Woyera wa Roma Rudolph II, atapeza chithunzicho, adalamula kuti ikonzenso. Ana ophedwawo adadzipaka utoto ndi zithunzi monga mitolo yazakudya kapena nyama zazing'ono, ndikupangitsa kuti zochitikazo ziwoneke ngati zolanda m'malo mopha anthu.
Mutu wotsutsana ndi nkhondo wa Bruegel udasinthidwa kuti ufotokozere za kuphedwa kwa ana lero, mudzi wakutali wa Yemeni ungakhale cholinga chawo. Asitikali omwe amaphawo samatha kufika atakwera hatchi. Masiku ano, nthawi zambiri amakhala oyendetsa ndege aku Saudi ophunzitsidwa kuyendetsa ndege zankhondo zopangidwa ndi US m'malo amtundu wa anthu kenako ndikukhazikitsa zida zoponya ma laser (wogulitsidwa ndi Raytheon, Boeing ndi Lockheed Martin), kutsika m'mimba, kudula mutu, kupundula, kapena kupha aliyense panjira yakuphulika ndi kuphulika.
Mutu wotsutsana ndi nkhondo wa Bruegel udasinthidwa kuti ufotokozere za kuphedwa kwa ana lero, mudzi wakutali wa Yemeni ungakhale cholinga chawo.
pakuti kuposa Zaka zisanu, a Yemenis adakumana ndi njala yayikulu pomwe akupirira zida zankhondo zapanyanja komanso kuphulitsa bomba kwam'mlengalenga. United Nations ikuyerekeza kuti nkhondoyi idachitika kale chinachititsa Kufa kwa 233,000, kuphatikiza 131,000 yakufa pazifukwa zina monga kusowa kwa chakudya, ntchito zaumoyo ndi zomangamanga.
Kuwonongeka kwadongosolo kwa minda, nsomba, misewu, zimbudzi ndi malo azaumoyo kwadzetsa mavuto ena. Yemen ndi chuma chambiri, koma njala ikupitilirabe dzikolo, UN malipoti. Awiri mwa magawo atatu a Yemenis ali ndi njala ndipo theka lathunthu sakudziwa kuti adyanso liti. Anthu XNUMX pa anthu XNUMX alionse ali ndi vuto la kuperewera kwa zakudya m'thupi mopitirira malire. Izi zikuphatikiza ana opitilira mamiliyoni awiri.
Pokhala ndi zida zopangidwa ndi US zopangidwa ndi Littoral Combat Ships, a Saudis atha kutseka madoko am'mlengalenga ndi m'madzi omwe ndi ofunikira kudyetsa gawo lokhala ndi anthu ambiri ku Yemen - dera lakumpoto komwe 80 peresenti ya anthu amakhala. Dera ili limayang'aniridwa ndi Ansar Allah, (yemwenso amadziwika kuti "Houthi"). Machenjerero omwe akugwiritsidwa ntchito kutulutsa Ansar Allah amalanga mwankhanza anthu omwe ali pachiwopsezo-iwo omwe ali osauka, osowa pokhala, anjala komanso ovutika ndi matenda. Ambiri ndi ana omwe sayenera kukhala ndi mlandu pazandale.
Ana aku Yemeni si "ana akumva njala;" ali kukhala ndi njala ndi magulu omenyera nkhondo omwe ma block block ndi mabomba awononga dziko. United States ikupereka zida zowonongera komanso thandizo laukazitape ku mgwirizano wotsogozedwa ndi Saudi, pomwe ikuwonjezeranso zida zawo "zosankha" mlengalenga motsutsana ndi zigawenga zomwe akuwakayikira komanso anthu wamba omwe ali pafupi nawo.
Pakadali pano US, monga Saudi Arabia ndi UAE, yatero odulidwa kubwerera kuzopereka zake zothandiza anthu. Izi zimakhudza kwambiri kuthana ndi opereka ndalama ochokera kumayiko ena.
Kwa miyezi ingapo kumapeto kwa 2020, US idawopseza kusankha Ansar Allah ngati "Gulu Lachigawenga Zakunja" (FTO). Ngakhale kuwopseza kutero kunayamba kusokoneza zokambirana zosatsimikizika zamalonda, ndikupangitsa mitengo yazinthu zofunika kwambiri kukwera.
Pa Novembala 16, 2020, ma CEO asanu m'magulu akuluakulu othandizira padziko lonse lapansi mogwirizana analemba kwa Secretary of State of US Pompeo, akumulimbikitsa kuti asatchule dzina ili. Mabungwe ambiri omwe akudziwa bwino ntchito ku Yemen adalongosola zovuta zomwe dzinali lingabweretse popereka chithandizo chofunikira kwambiri.
Komabe, Secretary of State of US a Mike Pompeo analengeza, kumapeto kwa tsiku Lamlungu, pa 10 Januwareth, cholinga chake kuti apite patsogolo ndi dzina.
Senator Chris Murphy adatcha FTO iyi "kuphedwa”Kwa zikwi zambiri za Yemenis. "90% ya chakudya cha Yemen chimalowetsedwa kunja," adatero, "ndipo ngakhale zopereka zachifundo sizingaloleze kugulitsa malonda, makamaka kudula chakudya mdziko lonselo."
Atsogoleri aku US komanso atolankhani ambiri adayankha mwamphamvu kuwukira kochititsa mantha ku US Capitol, komanso kuwonongeka koopsa kwa miyoyo ingapo momwe zidachitikira; ndizovuta kumvetsetsa chifukwa chomwe kuphedwa kwa a Trump osalakwa ku Yemen kwalephera kubweretsa mkwiyo komanso chisoni chachikulu.
Pa Januwale 13, mtolankhani Iona Craig adatchulidwa kuti njira ya dempambo "Gulu Lachigawenga Zakunja" - kuzichotsa pamndandanda wa FTO - sizinakwaniritsidwe pasanathe zaka ziwiri. Ngati mayinawo atha, zitha kutenga zaka ziwiri kuti zisinthe zomwe zimawopsa.
Oyang'anira a Biden ayenera kutsatira zomwe zasintha nthawi yomweyo. Nkhondo iyi anayamba nthawi yomaliza pomwe Joseph Biden anali muofesi. Iyenera kutha tsopano: zaka ziwiri ndi nthawi Yemen alibe.
Zilango ndi zotchinga ndi nkhondo zowononga, kupha mwankhanza njala komanso njala yotheka ngati chida chankhondo. Kutsogolera ku 2003 "Kugwedezeka ndi Kuopa" ku Iraq, US idalimbikira kulanda zachuma makamaka idalanga anthu aku Iraq omwe ali pachiwopsezo, makamaka ana. Mazana zikwi za ana anamwalira imfa zowawa, kusowa mankhwala ndi chisamaliro chokwanira chazaumoyo.
Kwa zaka zonsezi, oyang'anira motsatizana aku US, atolankhani ogwirizana, anali ndi chithunzi choti amangofuna kulanga Saddam Hussein. Koma uthenga womwe adatumiza kumabungwe olamulira padziko lonse lapansi unali wosatsimikizika: ngati simukugonjera dziko lanu kuti likwaniritse zofuna zathu, tidzaphwanya ana anu.
Yemen sanali kulandira uthengawu nthawi zonse. Pamene United States idafuna kuvomerezedwa ndi United Nations pomenya nkhondo yoyamba ya 1991 ndi Iraq, Yemen idakhala pampando wakanthawi ku UN Security Council. Mosadabwitsa idavota motsutsana ndi zofuna za United States, omwe nkhondo zawo zosankha mozungulira Middle East zikuyenda pang'onopang'ono.
“Imeneyo idzakhala voti yotsika mtengo kwambiri ya 'Ayi' yomwe mudaponyapo,” anali kazembe wa ku United States Kuyankha kowopsa kupita ku Yemen.
Masiku ano, ana ku Yemen akusowa chakudya ndi mafumu komanso mapurezidenti akugwirizana poyang'anira malo ndi chuma. "A Houthis, omwe amalamulira gawo lalikulu la dziko lawo, sakhala chiwopsezo chilichonse ku United States kapena nzika zaku America," analengeza James North, kulembera Mondoweiss. "Pompeo akupanga chilengezochi chifukwa a Houthis amathandizidwa ndi Iran, ndipo ogwirizana ndi a Trump ku Saudi Arabia ndi Israel akufuna izi ngati gawo la kampeni yawo yolimbana ndi Iran."
Ana si zigawenga. Koma kuphedwa kwa anthu osalakwa ndiwowopsa. Kuyambira pa Januware 19, 2021, mabungwe 268 asayina chikalata udzafunidwa kutha kwa nkhondo ku Yemen. Pa Januwale 25, "Dziko Lonse Lidzakana Nkhondo Yolimbana ndi Yemen" zochita zidzakhala yomwe ikuchitika padziko lonse lapansi.
Zinali zojambula zina za Bruegel, Kugwa kwa Icarus, kuti wolemba ndakatulo WH Auden analemba:
"Pazovuta zomwe sanalakwitse konse,
Masters Akale:…
momwe zimachitikira
pamene wina akudya kapena kutsegula zenera
kapena kumangoyenda modekha…
momwe zonse zimasinthira
mopumira pangoziyo… ”
Chithunzichi chimakhudza imfa ya mwana m'modzi. Ku Yemen, United States-kudzera mwa omwe amagwirizana nawo, - atha kumaliza kupha anthu masauzande ambiri. Ana a Yemen sangadziteteze; pakafika vuto lalikulu kwambiri la kuperewera kwa chakudya m'thupi, amakhala ofooka ngakhale kulira.
Sitiyenera kutembenuka. Tiyenera kudzudzula nkhondo yoopsa komanso kutsekereza. Kuchita izi kungathandize kupulumutsa miyoyo ya ana ena aku Yemen. Mwayi wotsutsa kuphedwa kumeneku kwa anthu osalakwa tili nawo.
