Pakati pa Boma la Japan kulimbikira pomanga gulu lankhondo laku US ku Henoko-Oura Bay ku Okinawa Island, Japan, Mission Blue's kutchulidwa kwa Madzi a m'mphepete mwa nyanja a Henoko Oura Bay ngati Hope Spot walimbikitsa kwambiri kwa ife omwe timatsutsa zomanga zamiyala.
Mission Blue ndi bungwe lolemekezeka, lochokera ku US, lotsogozedwa ndi Dr. Sylvia Earle, wasayansi wazam'madzi waku America. Zake Chiyembekezo ma Spoti yathandizira chidwi padziko lonse lapansi ndipo yalimbikitsanso kayendedwe kasungidwe ka panyanja padziko lonse.
Posankha Madzi a m'mphepete mwa nyanja a Henoko Oura Bay ngati Hope Spot woyamba ku Japan, Mission Blue yatsimikizira kuti malowa ndi malo apadera mofanana ndi zozizwitsa zina zachilengedwe ndi Hope Spots padziko lonse lapansi. Zawonetsanso izi nkhondo yathu yoteteza ndizothandiza. Ndipo tiyenera kupitilizabe kumenya nkhondo. Ndimalandila ndi mtima wonse ndikusangalala ndi lingaliro la Mission Blue.
Ndikukhulupirira kuti kusankhaku kudzakopa chidwi cha mayiko ambiri chodabwitsa ndi vuto la Henoko-Oura Bay ndipo lithandizira kukulitsa othandizira pa nkhondo yathu.
Makamaka, ndikulakalaka kwanga kuti dzina loti Hope Spot libweretse zotsatira zitatu: Choyamba, kuti maphunziro olakwika azachilengedwe omwe boma la Japan limanga pomanga maziko awululidwa.
Boma la Japan lanena pakuwunika kwawo kwa Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) komanso kafukufuku wapa post-EIA kuti mazikowo sangakhale ndi zotsutsana ndi chilengedwe. ("Zilibe phindu." Chifukwa chake, zomangamanga zikuchitika).
Izi "zopanda phindu" zatsimikizira kuti ndi zabodza. Kubwezeretsanso nthaka kwadzetsa mavuto akulu achilengedwe. Mwachitsanzo, dugong, nyama ya m'nyanja yomwe ili pachiwopsezo komanso chikhalidwe cha Okinawa, imawonekeranso ku Henoko-Oura Bay m'mbuyomu, koma tsopano yasowa m'derali. Zachisoni, kuyambira Seputembara 2018, palibe dugong imodzi yomwe yawonedwa ku Okinawa.
Chotsatira chachiwiri choyembekezeredwa ndichakuti chinyengo cha boma la Japan chokhudza ubale pakati pa US-Japan komanso malingaliro awo atsankho ku Okinawa chidzawonekera kwa onse.
Boma la Japan likuti Japan imasamalira ubale wa chitetezo cha US-Japan ndikuthandizira kupezeka kwa magulu ankhondo aku US ku Japan, koma sichina kufunsa malo ena aliwonse ku Japan kuti kugawana katundu yokomera mabwalo ankhondo aku US. Madera akumidzi yayikulu Japan sakhala achangu kuposa aku Okinawans "kuchititsa" besi za US.
Zowona ndizakuti, ngakhale Okinawa ali ndi 0.6 peresenti yokha ya malo aku Japan, 70% yamabesi aku US ku Japan ali ku Okinawa. Ndipo tsopano, boma la Japan likuyesera kuti apange bwalo la ndege lankhondo m'malo amodzi olemera kwambiri padziko lapansi. Ambiri amawona zopanda pake izi ngati chisonyezero chachinyengo cha boma la Japan komanso malingaliro atsankho ku Okinawa.
Pomaliza, ndikhulupirira kuti malamulowa alimbikitsa anthu ochokera kosiyanasiyana kuti ayang'anenso ubale womwe ulipo pakati pa chilengedwe, ufulu wa anthu, ndi mtendere.
Okinawa anali malo amodzi mwa malo ankhanza kwambiri pankhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse. Anthu adaphedwa. Nyumba, nyumba, ndi nyumba zachifumu zidawotchedwa. Ndipo chilengedwe chinawonongedwa. Masiku ano, Okinawa akuvutikabe osati ndi zipsera za Nkhondo komanso chifukwa chamilandu yachisoni ya Nkhondo momwe izi ziriri ndi magulu ankhondo ambiri.
Ambiri a ife ku Okinawa tikufunitsitsa kupanga malo osungirako madzi a m'mphepete mwa nyanja a Henoko-Oura Bay kukhala malo owona a Chiyembekezo, pofuna kulimbikitsa anthu ena kuti azimenyera nkhondo malo awo, ufulu wa anthu komanso mtendere.
