Patapita masiku ndege yankhondo yaku US bombed chipatala cha Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) ku Kunduz, Afghanistan, kupha anthu makumi anayi ndi awiri, odwala makumi awiri ndi anayi mwa iwo odwala, pulezidenti wapadziko lonse wa MSF, Dr. Joanne Liu adadutsa m'ngoziyo ndikukonzekera kupereka mawu otonthoza kwa achibale a anthu amene anaphedwa. Kanema wachidule, wojambulidwa mu Okutobala, 2015, zojambula chisoni chake chosaneneka pamene akunena za banja limene, dzulo lake lisanachitike kuphulitsidwa kwa mabomba, linali lokonzekera kubweretsa mwana wawo wamkazi kunyumba. Madokotala anali atathandiza mtsikanayo kuti achire, koma chifukwa chakuti nkhondo inali mkati kunja kwa chipatalacho, oyang’anira analangiza kuti banjalo libwere tsiku lotsatira. Iwo anati: “Kuno kuli bwino.
Mwanayo anali m'gulu la anthu omwe anaphedwa ndi zigawenga za US, zomwe zinkachitika kwa mphindi khumi ndi zisanu, kwa ola limodzi ndi theka, ngakhale kuti MSF inali itapereka kale zopempha zopempha kuti asilikali a United States ndi NATO asiye kuphulitsa chipatala.
Zomvetsa chisoni za Dr mawu a Papa Francis kudandaula za nkhondo. “Tikukhala ndi chizoloŵezi chauchiŵanda chimenechi chophana wina ndi mnzake chifukwa chofuna ulamuliro, chikhumbo cha chisungiko, chikhumbo cha zinthu zambiri. Koma ndimaganiza za nkhondo zobisika, zomwe palibe amene amaziwona, zomwe zili kutali ndi ife, "adatero. “Anthu amalankhula za mtendere. Bungwe la United Nations lachita zonse zotheka, koma sizinaphule kanthu.” Kulimbana kosatopa kwa atsogoleri ambiri adziko, monga Papa Francis ndi Dr. Joanne Liu, kuti aletse machitidwe ankhondo adalandiridwa mwamphamvu ndi Phil Berrigan, mneneri wa nthawi yathu ino.
"Tikumane ku Pentagon!" Phil Berrigan ankakonda kunena monga iye analimbikitsa anzake kutsutsa Pentagon ndalama pa zida ndi nkhondo. “Tsutsani nkhondo zilizonse,” Phil analimbikitsa motero. "Sipanakhalepo nkhondo yolungama."
“Musatope!” anawonjezera, ndiyeno anagwira mawu mwambi wachibuda wakuti, “Sindidzapha, koma ndidzaletsa ena kupha.”
Mosiyana kwambiri ndi kutsimikiza mtima kwa Berrigan kuletsa kupha, bungwe la US Congress posachedwapa lapereka lamulo lomwe lidzapereka ndalama zoposa theka la bajeti ya US ku ndalama zankhondo. Monga Norman Stockwell akunenera, "Bili lili ndi pafupifupi $ 1.7 thililiyoni yandalama za FY2023, koma pa ndalamazo, $ 858 biliyoni ndi yankhondo ("ndalama zodzitchinjiriza") ndi $ 45 biliyoni yowonjezera "thandizo ladzidzidzi ku Ukraine ndi ogwirizana athu a NATO." Izi zikutanthauza kuti oposa theka ($ 900 biliyoni mwa $ 1.7 thililiyoni) sakugwiritsidwa ntchito pa "mapulogalamu osagwirizana ndi chitetezo" - ndipo ngakhale gawo locheperako limaphatikizapo $ 118.7 biliyoni kuti lithandizire bungwe la Veterans Administration, ndalama zina zokhudzana ndi usilikali.
Pochepetsa ndalama zomwe zimafunikira kwambiri kuti zikwaniritse zosowa za anthu, bajeti ya "chitetezo" yaku US sikuteteza anthu ku miliri, kugwa kwachilengedwe, komanso kuwonongeka kwa zomangamanga. M'malo mwake ikupitirizabe kuwononga ndalama zankhondo. Kusasinthika kwaulosi kwa Phil Berrigan, kukana nkhondo zonse ndi kupanga zida, ndikofunikira tsopano kuposa kale.
Potengera kukhazikika kwa Phil Berrigan, omenyera ufulu padziko lonse lapansi ali kukonzekera The Merchants of Death War Crimes Tribunal. Khotilo, lomwe lidzachitike pa Novembara 10 - 13, 2023, likufuna kupereka umboni wokhudza milandu yokhudza anthu yomwe imachitidwa ndi omwe amapanga, kusunga, kugulitsa ndi kugwiritsa ntchito zida zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pozunza anthu omwe ali m'malo ankhondo. Umboni ukufunidwa kuchokera kwa omwe adapulumuka pankhondo ku Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, ndi Somalia, kutchula malo ochepa pomwe zida za US zidawopseza anthu omwe sanatipweteke.
Pa Novembara 10, 2022, okonza bungwe la Merchants of Death War Crimes Tribunal ndi othandizira awo adapereka "Subpoena" kumaofesi amakampani ndi owongolera makampani opanga zida Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, ndi General Atomics. Chikalatacho, chomwe chidzatha pa February 10, 2023, chikuwakakamiza kuti apereke ku Khotilo zikalata zonse zosonyeza kuti ndi ogwirizana pothandiza boma la United States kuti lichite Upandu wa Nkhondo, Milandu Yotsutsana ndi Anthu, Chiphuphu, ndi Kuba.
Okonza kampeniyi apitiliza kuchitapo kanthu mwezi uliwonse chisanachitike Khoti Loona zamilandu zowulula milandu yomwe idachitidwa ndi opanga zida. Ochita kampeni amatsogoleredwa ndi umboni womveka wa Dr. Cornel West:. "Tikukupatsani inu, mabungwe okonda kupezerapo phindu pankhondo, oyankha," adatero, "oyankha!"
M'moyo wake, Phil Berrigan adasintha kuchokera ku msilikali kupita ku maphunziro kupita ku ulosi wotsutsa zida za nyukiliya. Iye mopanda nzeru anagwirizanitsa kuponderezana kwa mafuko ndi kuzunzika kumene kumabwera chifukwa cha nkhondo. Poyerekeza chisalungamo chaufuko ndi hydra yoyipa yomwe imabweretsa mawonekedwe atsopano padziko lonse lapansi, Phil adalemba kuti lingaliro lopanda chifundo la anthu aku US kuti azisankhana mitundu "zinapangitsa kuti "zisakhale zophweka komanso zomveka kukulitsa kuponderezana kwathu monga zida zanyukiliya zapadziko lonse lapansi. zowopseza.” (Palibenso Alendo, 1965)
Anthu oopsezedwa ndi nkhope zatsopano zankhondo za hydra nthawi zambiri amakhala opanda poti athawire, alibe kobisala. Zikwi ndi zikwi za ozunzidwa ndi ana.
Poganizira za ana omwe anapunduka, opwetekedwa mtima, othawa kwawo, amasiye ndi kuphedwa ndi nkhondo zomwe zachitika m'moyo wathu, tiyeneranso kudziimba mlandu. Chovuta cha Phil Berrigan chiyenera kukhala chathu: "Tikumaneni ku Pentagon!" Kapena malo ake akampani.
Anthu sangathe kukhala mogwirizana ndi machitidwe omwe amatsogolera ku mabomba a zipatala ndi kupha ana.
