kuchokera The Leveler

ALipoti la UN Human Rights Council posachedwa anatcha Canada ngati amodzi mwa maphwando omwe akuyambitsa nkhondo ku Yemen pogulitsa zida zankhondo ku Saudi Arabia, m'modzi mwa omenya nkhondo.

Ripotilo lidasamaliridwa m'malo atolankhani aku Canada monga Globe ndi Mail ndi Ndondomekoyi. Koma atolankhani atatanganidwa ndi mliri wa COVID-19 komanso zisankho zaku America - komanso anthu ochepa aku Canada omwe amalumikizana ndi Yemen - nkhanizi zidasowa mwachangu kuphompho kwazomwe zikuchitika, osasiya kuwonekera pazinthu zaku Canada.

Anthu aku Canada nawonso sakudziwa kuti Canada ndiye yachiwiri yopereka zida zankhondo kudera la Middle East, pambuyo pa United States.

Pofuna kudzaza mpata uwu, The Leveler adalankhula ndi omenyera ufulu wawo komanso ofufuza omwe akugwira ntchito yogulitsa zida zankhondo ku Canada ndi Saudi Arabia komanso kulumikizana kwake pankhondo yaku Yemen, komanso malonda ena ankhondo aku Canada ku Middle East. Nkhaniyi ifotokoza momwe nkhondoyo idakhalira komanso momwe amalonda aku Canada amagwirira ntchito, pomwe nkhani zamtsogolo zikuyang'ana mabungwe aku Canada omwe akuyesetsa kuthetsa zida zogulitsa kunja.

Nkhondo ku Yemen

Monga nkhondo zonse zapachiweniweni, nkhondo ku Yemen ndi yovuta kwambiri, yomwe imakhudza magulu angapo omwe asintha mgwirizano. Zimasokonezedwanso chifukwa cha kukula kwake kwapadziko lonse lapansi komanso kulumikizana kwake komwe kumalumikizidwa ndi magulu azandale. "Kusokonekera" kwa nkhondoyi komanso kusowa kwa nkhani yosavuta, yomveka bwino yodziwika bwino kwapangitsa kuti ikhale nkhondo yoiwalika, yopitilira mdima kutali ndi atolankhani apadziko lonse lapansi - ngakhale ili imodzi mwazinthu zoopsa kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi nkhondo.

Ngakhale pakhala pali nkhondo pakati pa magulu osiyanasiyana ku Yemen kuyambira 2004, nkhondo yapano idayamba ndi ziwonetsero zaku Arab Spring za 2011. Ziwonetserozi zidapangitsa kuti Purezidenti Ali Abdullah Saleh, yemwe adatsogolera dzikolo kuyambira kugwirizanitsidwa kwa North ndi South Yemen mu 1990. Wachiwiri kwa Purezidenti wa Saleh, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, adayenda mosadandaula pazisankho za Purezidenti wa 2012 - ndipo zoyang'anira zambiri mdzikolo sizinasinthe. Izi sizinakhutiritse magulu ambiri otsutsa, kuphatikiza Ansar Allah, omwe amadziwika kuti gulu lachi Houthi.

A Houthis adachita nawo ziwonetsero zoukira boma la Yemeni kuyambira 2004. Amatsutsa ziphuphu m'boma, akuwona kuti akunyalanyaza kumpoto kwa dzikolo, komanso malingaliro aku US akunja.

Mu 2014, a Houthis adalanda likulu la Sana'a, zomwe zidapangitsa Hadi kuti atule pansi udindo ndikuthawa mdzikolo, pomwe a Houthis adakhazikitsa Komiti Yapamwamba Kwambiri Yoyang'anira dzikolo. Pempho la Purezidenti Hadi, gulu lotsogozedwa ndi Saudi Arabia lidayamba kulowererapo kwa Marichi 2015 kuti abwezeretse Hadi mphamvu ndikuyambiranso likulu. (Kuphatikiza pa Saudi Arabia, mgwirizanowu umaphatikizaponso mayiko ena achiarabu monga United Arab Emirates, Jordan, ndi Egypt,)

Saudi Arabia ndi ogwirizana nawo akuwona gulu la Houthi ngati wothandizila waku Iran chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro cha Shi'a cha atsogoleri achi Houthi. Saudi Arabia yakayikira magulu andale a Shi'a mokayikira kuyambira pomwe Islamic Revolution ku Iran idagonjetsa 1979 Iran. Palinso anthu ochepa achi Shi'a ku Saudi Arabia omwe amakhala ku Eastern Province ku Persian Gulf, omwe awona kuwukira komwe kuponderezedwa mwankhanza ndi achitetezo aku Saudi.

Komabe, a Houthis ali mgulu la More la Shi'ism, lomwe silimalumikizana kwambiri ndi Twelver Shi'ism ya dziko la Iran. Iran yawonetsa mgwirizano pandale ndi gulu la Houthi, koma akukana kuti yapereka thandizo lankhondo.

Gulu lankhondo lotsogozedwa ndi Saudi Arabia ku Yemen lagwira ntchito yayikulu yomenyera ndege, yomwe nthawi zambiri imakhudza zigawenga mosasankha, kuphatikizapo zipatala, ukwati, malirondipo Masukulu. Pazochitika zowopsa kwambiri, a sukulu ya basi kunyamula ana paulendo wophulitsidwa ndi bomba, ndikupha osachepera 40.

Mgwirizanowu wotsogozedwa ndi Saudi wakhazikitsanso chipwirikiti cha Yemen, kuti, kuti iteteze zida zankhondo kuti zibwere nawo mdzikolo. Kutsekedwa uku nthawi yomweyo kwalepheretsa chakudya, mafuta, mankhwala, ndi zina zofunika kulowa mdzikolo, zomwe zidadzetsa kusowa kwa zakudya m'thupi komanso kufalikira kwa kolera ndi dengue fever.

Pa mkangano wonsewu, mayiko akumadzulo, makamaka US ndi UK, apereka nzeru ndi zothandizira ku mgwirizano - mwachitsanzo, kukweza ndege, ngakhale, kugulitsa zida zankhondo kwa mamembala amgwirizano. Mabomba omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito poyendetsa ndege yoyipa yamabasi pasukulu anali zopangidwa ku US. ndipo adagulitsidwa ku Saudi Arabia mu 2015 motsogozedwa ndi Obama.

Malipoti a UN alemba onse omwe akuchita nawo nkhondoyi akuphwanya ufulu wachibadwidwe - monga kuba, kupha, kuzunza, komanso kugwiritsa ntchito ana asitikali - kutsogolera bungweli kuti lifotokoze mkanganowu ngati vuto lalikulu kwambiri lothandiza anthu padziko lonse lapansi.

Ngakhale zikhalidwe zankhondo zimapangitsa kuti zikhale zosatheka kuwerengera anthu owonongeka, ofufuza akuti mu 2019 kuti anthu osachepera 100,000 - kuphatikiza nzika za 12,000 - adaphedwa kuyambira pomwe nkhondo idayamba. Chiwerengerochi sichiphatikizapo kufa chifukwa cha njala ndi matenda chifukwa cha nkhondo ndi blockade, zomwe phunziro lina akuyerekezera kuti angafike ku 131,000 kumapeto kwa 2019.

Kugulitsa Zida ku Canada ku Saudi Arabia

Ngakhale maboma aku Canada agwira kale ntchito kukhazikitsa dzina la Canada ngati dziko lamtendere, maboma onse a Conservative ndi Liberal akhala okondwa kupindula ndi nkhondo. Mu 2019, zida zankhondo zaku Canada zotumiza kunja kumayiko ena kupatula US zidafika pamtengo wokwera pafupifupi $ 3.8 biliyoni, malinga ndi Kutumiza Kunja kwa Katundu Wankhondo lipoti la chaka chimenecho.

Kutumiza kwamagulu ankhondo ku US sikuwerengedwa mu lipotilo, kusiyana kwakukulu pakuwonekera kwa kayendedwe ka zida zankhondo ku Canada. Mwa zotumiza kunja zomwe zalembedwa mu lipotilo, 76% adapita ku Saudi Arabia mwachindunji, zokwana $ 2.7 biliyoni.

Zogulitsa kunja zina zathandizira moyenerera nkhondo yankhondo yaku Saudi Arabia. Katundu wina wotsika $ 151.7 miliyoni wopita ku Belgium mwina anali magalimoto onyamula zida omwe adatumizidwa ku France, komwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito phunzitsani asitikali aku Saudi.

Chidwi chachikulu - komanso kutsutsana - kugulitsa zida zankhondo zaku Canada mzaka zaposachedwa kwayandikira a $ 13 biliyoni (US) a General Dynamics Land Systems Canada (GDLS-C) kuti apereke zikwizikwi zamagalimoto opepuka ku Saudi Arabia. Mgwirizanowu unali woyamba analengeza mu 2014 motsogozedwa ndi boma la Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Zinali anakambirana ndi Canadian Commerce Corporation, kampani ya Crown yomwe imayang'anira kukonza malonda kuchokera kumakampani aku Canada kupita kuboma lakunja. Malamulowo sanadziwitsidwepo pagulu, chifukwa akuphatikiza zinsinsi zomwe zimaletsa kufalitsa.

Boma la Justin Trudeau poyamba lidakana udindo uliwonse pamsonkhanowu. Koma zinawululidwa pambuyo pake kuti mu 2016 Nduna Yowona Zakunja panthawiyo Stéphane Dion adasaina chilolezo chomaliza chololeza kutumiza kunja.

Dion adavomereza ngakhale zikalata zomwe anapatsidwa kuti asaine inanenanso kuti Saudi Arabia inali ndi ufulu wachibadwidwe wokhudza anthu, kuphatikizapo "kuchuluka kwa anthu omwe anaphedwa, kuponderezedwa ndi andale, kupatsidwa chilango, kupondereza ufulu wolankhula, kumangidwa popanda chifukwa, kuchitiridwa nkhanza kwa akaidi, kuperewera ufulu wachipembedzo, tsankho azimayi komanso kuzunzidwa kwa ogwira ntchito kumayiko ena. ”

Jamal Kashoggi ataphedwa mwankhanza ndi akazitape a Saudi ku kazembe wa Saudi ku Istanbul mu Okutobala 2018, Global Affairs Canada idayimitsa zilolezo zonse zotumiza kunja ku Saudi Arabia. Koma izi sizinaphatikizepo zilolezo zomwe zilipo pamgwirizano wa LAV. Ndipo kuyimitsidwa kudachotsedwa mu Epulo 2020, kulola kuti ntchito zatsopano zikonzedwe, Global Affairs Canada itakambirana wotchedwa "Kusintha kwakukulu pamgwirizano".

Mu Seputembala 2019, boma la feduro operekedwa Ngongole ya $ 650 miliyoni ku GDLS-C kudzera mu "Akaunti yaku Canada" ya Export Development Canada (EDC) Malinga ndi Tsamba la EDC, akauntiyi imagwiritsidwa ntchito "kuthandizira kutumizirana kunja komwe [EDC] sikungathe kuthandizira, koma zomwe Unduna wa Zamalonda Padziko Lonse watsimikiza kuti ndizothandiza dziko la Canada." Ngakhale zifukwa za ngongole sizinafotokozedwe pagulu, zidabwera Saudi Arabia itasowa $ 1.5 biliyoni (US) polipira General Dynamics.

Boma la Canada lateteza mgwirizano wa LAV poti palibe umboni woti ma LAV opangidwa ku Canada akugwiritsidwa ntchito pozunza ufulu wa anthu. Komabe a tsamba pa Lost Amour zolembazo zotayika zamagalimoto okhala ndi zida zankhondo ku Yemen zikulemba mndandanda wa ma LAV ambiri aku Saudi akuwonongedwa ku Yemen kuyambira 2015. LAVs sangakhale ndi vuto lofananalo kwa anthu wamba ngati kuwombera ndege kapena kutsekereza, koma zikuwonekeratu kuti ndi gawo limodzi lankhondo la Saudi .

Terradyne, yemwe sadziwika kwambiri ku Canada wopanga magalimoto onyamula zida, amakhalanso ndi magawo osadziwika oti agulitse magalimoto ake onyamula zida za Gurkha ku Saudi Arabia. Makanema akuwonetsa magalimoto a Terradyne Gurkha akugwiritsidwa ntchito Kupondereza kuwukira m'chigawo chakum'mawa kwa Saudi Arabia komanso ku nkhondo ku Yemen akhala akufalitsa pa TV kwa zaka zingapo.

Global Affairs Canada idayimitsa zilolezo zotumiza kunja kwa a Terradyne Gurkhas mu Julayi 2017 chifukwa chogwiritsa ntchito ku Eastern Province. Koma idabwezeretsa zilolezo mu Seputembala chaka chimenecho, zitatha atsimikiza kuti kunalibe umboni kuti magalimoto agwiritsidwa ntchito pozunza ufulu wa anthu.

The Leveler adafunsira Anthony Fenton, wophunzira ku PhD ku Yunivesite ya York akufufuza zamalonda aku Canada ku mayiko a Persian Gulf kuti afotokoze zomwe zapezazi. Fenton ananena mu Twitter mauthenga achindunji kuti lipoti la Global Affairs Canada limagwiritsa ntchito "zabodza / zosatheka kukwaniritsa zolinga" ndipo amatanthauza "kupeputsa / kutsutsa otsutsa."

Malinga ndi a Fenton, "Akuluakulu aku Canada sanakhulupirire a Saudis pomwe amaumirira kuti palibe kuphwanya [ufulu wa anthu] komwe kumachitika ndikuti ndi ntchito yovomerezeka 'yolimbana ndi uchigawenga'. Atakhutira ndi izi, a Ottawa adayambiranso kutumiza magalimoto awo kunja. ”

Wina wodziwika bwino ku Canada wogulitsa ku Saudi Arabia akuphatikiza kampani yaku Winnipeg ya PGW Defense Technology Inc., yomwe imapanga mfuti zankhondo. Masamba aku Canada International Merchandise Trade Database (CIMTD) mndandanda $ 6 miliyoni potumiza kunja kwa "Mfuti, masewera, kusaka kapena kuwombera" ku Saudi Arabia kwa 2019, komanso $ 17 miliyoni chaka chatha. (Ziwerengero za CIMTD sizofanana ndi zomwe zimatumizidwa kunja kwa katundu wankhondo zomwe zatchulidwa pamwambapa, momwe zidapangidwira pogwiritsa ntchito njira zosiyanasiyana.)

Mu 2016, a Houthis ku Yemen adatumiza zithunzi ndi makanema kusonyeza zomwe zikuwoneka kuti ndi mfuti za PGW zomwe akuti zalandidwa ndi alonda akumalire a Saudi. Mu 2019, Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ) zolembedwa Mfuti za PGW zikugwiritsidwa ntchito ndi magulu ankhondo a Hadi Yemeni, omwe amaperekedwa ndi Saudi Arabia. Malinga ndi ARIJ, Global Affairs Canada sinayankhe popereka umboni kuti mfuti zikugwiritsidwa ntchito ku Yemen.

Makampani angapo opanga ndege ku Quebec, kuphatikiza Pratt & Whitney Canada, Bombardier, ndi Bell Helicopters Textron nawonso amapereka zida ofunika $ 920 miliyoni kwa mamembala amgwirizano motsogozedwa ndi Saudi kuyambira pomwe kulowererapo kwawo ku Yemen kudayamba mu 2015. Zambiri mwa zida, kuphatikiza ma injini omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito munkhondo zankhondo, sizimawerengedwa ngati zida zankhondo motsogozedwa ndi Canada. Chifukwa chake safuna chilolezo chotumiza kunja ndipo sichiwerengedwa mu lipoti lotumiza kunja kwa katundu wa asitikali.

Kugulitsa Zida Zina ku Canada ku Middle East

Maiko ena awiri ku Middle East alandiranso katundu wambiri wankhondo kuchokera ku Canada ku 2019: Turkey pa $ 151.4 miliyoni ndi United Arab Emirates (UAE) pa $ 36.6 miliyoni. Maiko onsewa akuchita nawo mikangano ingapo ku Middle East komanso kupitirira.

Dziko la Turkey lakhala likugwira nawo ntchito zankhondo mzaka zaposachedwa Syria, Iraq, Libya, ndi Azerbaijan.

A lipoti Wofufuza Kelsey Gallagher wofalitsidwa mu Seputembala ndi gulu lamtendere ku Canada Project Plowshares adalemba kugwiritsa ntchito masensa opangidwa ndi Canada opangidwa ndi L3Harris WESCAM pa Turkey Bayraktar TB2 zida zankhondo. Ma drones awa adayikidwa munkhondo zonse zaposachedwa ku Turkey.

Ma drones adadzetsa mkangano ku Canada mu Seputembala ndi Okutobala pomwe adadziwika kuti akugwiritsidwa ntchito pano kumenya nkhondo ku Nagorno-Karabakh. Makanema akumenyedwa ndi ma drone omwe amafalitsidwa ndi Unduna wa Zachitetezo ku Azerbaijan akuwonetsa mawonekedwe ogwirizana ndi omwe amapangidwa ndi WESCAM optics. Kuphatikiza apo, zithunzi ya drone yotsika yomwe idasindikizidwa ndi magulu ankhondo aku Armenia ikuwonetseratu nyumba zowoneka bwino za sensa ya WESCAM MX-15D ndi nambala yotsimikizira kuti ndi chinthu cha WESCAM, a Gallagher adauza The Leveler.

Sizikudziwika ngati ma drones akugwiritsidwa ntchito ndi asitikali aku Azerbaijani kapena aku Turkey, koma mulimonsemo kugwiritsa ntchito kwawo ku Nagorno-Karabakh mwina kuphwanya zilolezo zotumiza kunja kwa Optics ya WESCAM. Nduna Yowona Zakunja François-Philippe Champagne kuimitsidwa zilolezo zotumiza kunja kwa Optics pa Okutobala 5 ndikuyamba kafukufuku pazanenedwezo.

Makampani ena aku Canada atumizanso ukadaulo ku Turkey womwe umagwiritsidwa ntchito pazida zankhondo. Wophulitsa analengeza pa Okutobala 23 kuti anali kuyimitsa kutumizidwa kumayiko akunja "osagwiritsa ntchito bwino" ma injini a ndege zopangidwa ndi kampani yawo ya ku Austria ya Rotax, atadziwa kuti injinizo zikugwiritsidwa ntchito ku Turkey Bayraktar TB2 drones. Malinga ndi a Gallagher, lingaliro la kampani yaku Canada loimitsa katundu wothandizirana ndi ena chifukwa chogwiritsa ntchito mkangano ndichinthu chomwe sichinachitikepo.

Pratt & Whitney Canada imapanganso injini zomwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito mu ndege yaku Turkey Aerospace Industries Hürkuş. Kupanga kwa Hürkuş kumaphatikizaponso mitundu ina yomwe imagwiritsidwa ntchito pophunzitsa oyendetsa ndege zankhondo - komanso imodzi yokhoza kugwiritsidwa ntchito pomenya nkhondo, makamaka pantchito yankhondo. Mtolankhani waku Turkey Ragip Soylu, kulemba kwa Middle East Diso mu Epulo 2020, adalengeza kuti zida zankhanza zomwe Canada idapereka ku Turkey pambuyo pa kuwukira kwa Syria mu Okutobala 2019 zidzagwira ntchito ku injini za Pratt & Whitney Canada. Komabe, malinga ndi a Gallagher, injinizi sizimawerengedwa ngati zotumizidwa pankhondo ndi Global Affairs Canada, chifukwa chake sizikudziwika chifukwa chake angatetezedwe.

Monga Turkey, UAE yakhala ikukhudzidwa zaka zingapo pamikangano yozungulira Middle East, ku Yemen ndi Libya. UAE idafika mpaka posachedwa m'modzi mwa atsogoleri amgwirizanowu akuthandiza boma la Hadi ku Yemen, wachiwiri kokha ku Saudi Arabia pamlingo wopereka. Komabe, kuyambira 2019 UAE yakhala ikupezeka ku Yemen. Tsopano zikuwoneka kuti zikukhudzidwa kwambiri ndikukhazikika kumwera kwa dzikolo kuposa kukankhira a Houthis kunja kwa likulu ndikubwezeretsa Hadi mphamvu.

Canada idasaina "mgwirizano wachitetezo”Ndi UAE mu Disembala 2017, pafupifupi zaka ziwiri mgwirizano utayamba ku Yemen. Fenton akuti mgwirizanowu udali gawo lakukakamiza kugulitsa ma LAV ku UAE, zomwe zonse sizikudziwika.

Ku Libya, UAE imathandizira gulu lankhondo lakum'mawa la Libyan National Army (LNA) motsogozedwa ndi General Khalifa Haftar pomenya nkhondo yolimbana ndi Boma la National Accord (GNA) lakumadzulo. Kuyesera kwa LNA kulanda likulu la Tripoli kuchokera ku GNA, komwe kudakhazikitsidwa mu 2018, kudasinthidwa mothandizidwa ndi kulowererapo kwa Turkey pothandizira GNA.

Zonsezi zikutanthauza kuti Canada yagulitsa zida zankhondo kwa omwe amathandizira mbali zonse ziwiri zankhondo yaku Libya. (Sizikudziwika, komabe, ngati zida zilizonse zopangidwa ku Canada zakhala zikugwiritsidwa ntchito ndi UAE ku Libya.)

Ngakhale kuti zida zankhondo zokwana $ 36.6 miliyoni zomwe zatumizidwa kuchokera ku Canada kupita ku UAE zomwe zalembedwa mu Lipoti la Zogulitsa Zankhondo sizinadziwike, UAE walamula ndege zosachepera zitatu za GlobalEye zopangidwa ndi kampani yaku Bombardier yaku Canada limodzi ndi kampani yaku Sweden ya Saab. David Lametti, panthawiyo anali mlembi wa nyumba yamalamulo kwa Minister of Innovation, Science, and Development Development ndipo tsopano ndi Minister of Justice, anayamika Bombardier ndi Saab pamgwirizanowu.

Kuphatikiza pa kutumiza kunja kunkhondo kuchokera ku Canada kupita ku UAE, kampani yaku Canada ya Streit Group, yomwe imapanga magalimoto okhala ndi zida zankhondo, ili ku UAE. Izi zalola kuti izitha kupewetsa zilolezo zaku Canada zogulitsa kunja ndikugulitsa magalimoto ake kumayiko monga Sudan ndi Libya omwe ali pansi pa zilango zaku Canada zoletsa kutumiza zida zankhondo kumeneko. Magalimoto ambiri, kapena mazana a Streit Group, omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri ndi Saudi Arabia ndi magulu ake ogwirizana ndi Yemeni, nawonso akhala zolembedwa monga anawonongedwa ku Yemen mu 2020 mokha, ndi ziwerengero zofananira zaka zapitazo.

Boma la Canada lati popeza magalimoto a Streit Group agulitsidwa kuchokera ku UAE kupita kumayiko ena, alibe ulamuliro pazogulitsa. Komabe, malinga ndi mgwirizano wa Arms Trade Treaty, womwe Canada idavomereza mu Seputembara 2019, akuti ali ndi udindo wokhazikitsa malamulo pamagulu abizinesi - ndiye kuti, zochitika zomwe nzika zawo zimachita pakati pa dziko lina lachilendo. Zikuwoneka kuti zina mwazogulitsa kunja kwa gulu la Streit zitha kugonjera tanthauzo ili, chifukwa chake zikumvera malamulo aku Canada pankhani yamalonda.

Chithunzi Chachikulu

Zonsezi zothandizana pamodzi zidapangitsa Canada kukhala wachiwiri wamkulu wogulitsa a zida ku Middle East, pambuyo pa United States, mu 2016. Kugulitsa zida zankhondo ku Canada kwakula kuchokera pamenepo, popeza adalemba zatsopano mu 2019.

Kodi chikuchititsa chidwi ndi chiyani ku Canada kufunafuna katundu wogulitsa kunja? Pali zotsimikizika zamalonda zokha: kutumizidwa kwa katundu wankhondo ku Middle East kudabweretsa ndalama zoposa $ 2.9 biliyoni mu 2019. Izi zikugwirizana kwambiri ndi chinthu chachiwiri, chomwe boma la Canada limakonda kutsindika, ntchito.

Pomwe mgwirizano wa GDLS-C LAV udali woyamba analengeza mu 2014, Unduna wa Zakunja (monga momwe unkatchulidwira nthawi imeneyo) unanena kuti mgwirizanowu "upanga ndi kupititsa patsogolo ntchito zoposa 3,000 chaka chilichonse ku Canada." Sinafotokoze momwe adawerengera nambala iyi. Mulimonse kuchuluka kwa ntchito zomwe zimachitika chifukwa chakugulitsa zida zankhondo, maboma onse a Conservative ndi Liberal akhala akukayikira kuthetsa ntchito zambiri zolipidwa bwino m'makampani achitetezo poletsa kugulitsa zida zankhondo.

Chinthu china chofunikira chomwe chimalimbikitsa kugulitsa zida ku Canada ndikufunitsitsa kukhala ndi "mafakitale achitetezo" apanyumba, monga mkati Zolemba Padziko Lonse kuyambira 2016 kuziyika. Kutumiza katundu wankhondo kumayiko ena kumalola makampani aku Canada ngati GDLS-C kuti azitha kupanga zinthu zambiri kuposa zomwe zingagulitsidwe ndi magulu ankhondo aku Canada okha. Izi zikuphatikiza malo, zida, ndi ogwira ntchito ophunzitsidwa omwe akuchita nawo zankhondo. Pakachitika nkhondo kapena zina zadzidzidzi, zida zopangazi zitha kugwiritsidwa ntchito posachedwa pazofunikira zankhondo yaku Canada.

Pomaliza, zofuna zandale zimathandizanso kudziwa mayiko omwe Canada imagulitsa zida zankhondo. Saudi Arabia ndi UAE akhala akugwirizana kwambiri ku US, ndipo malingaliro aku Canada ku Middle East akhala akugwirizana ndi aku US Zomwezo Zolemba Padziko Lonse ayamikire Saudi Arabia ngati mnzake pamgwirizano wapadziko lonse wotsutsana ndi Islamic State (ISIS) ndipo akunena za chiwopsezo chomwe akuti chikuwopseza kuti "dziko la Iran layambiranso ndipo likuchulukirachulukira" ngati chifukwa chomveka chogulitsira LAV ku Saudi Arabia.

Zikalatazo zikufotokozanso kuti Saudi Arabia ndi "mnzake wofunikira komanso wokhazikika m'dera lomwe ladzala ndi kusakhazikika, uchigawenga komanso mikangano," koma sizithetsa kusakhazikika komwe kumayambitsidwa ndi kulowerera kwa mgwirizano wotsogozedwa ndi Saudi ku Yemen. Kusakhazikika uku walola magulu ngati al-Qaeda ku Arabia Peninsula ndi ISIS kuti akhazikitse ulamuliro pazigawo zaku Yemen.

Fenton akufotokoza kuti malingaliro andalewa akuphatikizana ndi amalonda, popeza "Canada yolowera ku Gulf kufunafuna zida zankhondo [yakhala] ikufunika - makamaka kuyambira ku Desert Storm - kukhazikitsa ubale wapakati pa gulu lankhondo ndi gulu lankhondo limodzi [Gulf] mafumu achifumu. ”

Zoonadi, mfundo zowulula kwambiri zomwe Global Affairs ikunena ndikuti Saudi Arabia "ili ndi mafuta ochulukirapo padziko lonse lapansi ndipo pano ndiwachitatu padziko lonse lapansi yopanga mafuta."

Mpaka posachedwa, Turkey idalinso mnzake wapamtima wa US ndi Canada, ngati membala yekha wa NATO ku Middle East. Komabe, mzaka zingapo zapitazi dziko la Turkey latsata mfundo yodziyimira pawokha komanso yankhanza yomwe yakhala ikutsutsana ndi US komanso mamembala ena a NATO. Kusokonekera kwa ndale kotereku kungafotokozere kufunitsitsa kwa Canada kuyimitsa zilolezo zotumiza kunja ku Turkey pomwe amawapatsa Saudi Arabia ndi UAE.

Kuyimitsidwa kwakanthawi kololeza kutumiza ku Turkey kuyeneranso kuti kumakhudzana ndi kukakamizidwa kuboma. The Leveler akugwira ntchito yotsatira yomwe idzawona magulu ena omwe akuchita zochulukitsa izi, kuti athetse malonda aku Canada ambiri.
