Wolemba Kathrin Winkler, World BEYOND War, May 24, 2021

Kwa zaka makumi ambiri ndikuphunzitsa kumidzi ya Ontario, maulendo opita ndi ophunzira kumalo osungira zaluso mumzinda
zochitika zosangalatsa zomwe nthawi zambiri zimakambirana ndikukweza ntchito ya ophunzira. Chiwonetsero chimodzi
ku Ontario Gallery of Art yomwe idayambitsa kukayikira zankhondo anali a Barbara Hunt
Mndandanda wa "Antipersonnel", chipinda chodzaza ndi zinthu zotentha mumitundu yosiyanasiyana ya pinki. Iwo
amawoneka pang'ono ngati ma ketulo a tiyi, koma anali ziboliboli 50 zopangira zida zankhondo. Zowopsa
kusiyana kwa zida zomwe zimayambitsa kudulidwa kumakulungidwa ndi zofewa, zoweta
Zingwe zinangopita kumafupa. Ophunzira anga adayimilira panjira zawo ndipo sindinatero
kuyiwala ntchito yake.

Kuchita zaluso ndi nkhondo zonsezi zimakhala ndi zotsatira zosatha, komabe imodzi imapereka ndipo inayo imatenga. Awo
zotsatira zokhalitsa zankhondo yankhondo kwa anthu wamba sizingayesedwe panobe
chisoni chimakhala ndi moyo wake wokha, mibadwo yotambalala, nthawi zina kuti chiukitsidwe ndikuchiritsidwa
ndipo nthawi zina kumabwezera zomwe sizinakhaleko. Monga mphunzitsi ndimakumbukiranso momwe
kubwerera bwino ku maulendo a sukulu amenewo nthawi zonse kunali m'maganizo mwathu. Matayala apansi, misewu yozizira
kapena matenda anali nkhawa zathu, osati mabomba.

"Mabomba a Knot" ndi chikwangwani chomwe chidzakumbukire ana a Yemeni omwe anaphedwa ndi bomba
mu Ogasiti 2018. Ana 38 adamwalira ndipo 40 adavulala pomwe a Lockheed Martin Bomb adagunda
basi yawo yasukulu paulendo wopita kusukulu. Chikwangwani chili ndi mayina a mwana aliyense wosokedwa
Chiarabu ndi Chingerezi ndipo chimaphatikizapo mabwalo 48 akumalire, nthenga zazikulu 39 ndipo kupitirira 30 zazing'ono
Nthenga zasokedwa ndi anthu am'magulu ambiri kuphatikiza Nova Scotia
Liwu la Akazi Amtendere, Agogo aakazi Osautsa a Halifax, Gulu Lophunzira la Azimayi Achi Muslim,
Immigrant and Migrant Women Association ya Halifax, Sanghas, masisitere achi Buddha ndi ena
magulu azipembedzo, National Board of Voice of Women for Peace ndi abwenzi ochokera kunyanja
kunyanja kufikira kunyanja.

Chikwangwani cha 89 ndi 59 mainchesi chidapangidwa m'magawo angapo kuti agwire ntchito mozungulira covid
zoletsa. Tidakumana pazosintha ndipo zidazo zidatumizidwa kwa omwe amatenga nawo mbali pamakalata ndipo
anabwezeretsanso positi. Malo amalire amapangidwe amtundu umodzi mbalame, amayi
ndi mwana, yemwe akukwera mzindawo wakuda komanso wosweka. M'mphepete m'munsi pamenepo
ndi gawo la LAV's (Magalimoto Osiyanasiyana), ma drones amauluka ndipo bomba limagwa kuchokera kuma jets ankhondo
kukugwa mvula mpaka mabwinja a nyumba. Ndege iliyonse ya 19 imayimira $ 1 biliyoni yomwe aku Canada
okhometsa misonkho akungokhalira kugula ndege zankhondo yankhondo yankhondo. Nthenga za mbalame zimanyamula
mayina a ana osokedwa komanso mibadwo. Kukhazikika kumayitanitsa kupanga kulumikizana kolingalira
ndipo nthawi zambiri lingaliro lakusamalira agogo kuyambira kale kwambiri. Kuluka chovala kumatero
osati kawirikawiri kuwonekera koyamba m'malingaliro athu. Mmodzi mwa azimayi omwe adatenga nawo gawo pa "Mabomba a Knot" adamva
anali kuchita izi potulutsa dzina la mwana wazaka 8 m'Chiarabu ndi Chingerezi monga
gawo la ntchitoyi.

Cholinga cha ntchitoyi ndichosiyanasiyana. Choyamba, azimayi omwe adatenga nawo gawo anali
amatha kulumikizana mozungulira nkhani yokumbukira omwe achitiridwa zachinyengo posoka nsalu. Zonsezi
kusoka zikhalidwe ndi njira yodzitetezera kudzera pazovala (nthawi zina nyumba)
ndipo opanga nthawi zambiri amakhala osatchulidwa mayina ojambula. Ambiri aife sitiri akatswiri azonyowa, koma alipo
ukatswiri wopanga ukadaulo pakati pa zidutswazo. Chachiwiri, pali chiyembekezo chifukwa cha
Wankhondo akumenya ndale zankhanza, komabe, tikufuna kuzindikira kutayika, ndikuvomereza kuti ngati dziko lomwe likupitilizabe kugulitsa zida zankhondo, tili olumikizidwa ndi nkhondoyi.

Chisoni ndichokhwima komanso kutikumbutsa kukumbukira kumatikumbutsa kuti titha kutsegula tsambalo kupitilira
kupha ndi kuzunzika komwe kumachitika chifukwa cha nkhondo komabe mabanja a okondedwa apita kwamuyaya
kunyamula chisoni ichi. Titha kumva chisoni motere ngakhale timvetsetsa kuti mabanja amenewo
khalani ndi chisoni tsiku ndi tsiku komanso mosiyana.

Kuwonetsa chikwangwani ndi gawo limodzi la ntchitoyi. Tikukhulupirira kuti tikhala ndi chiwonetsero chosuntha cha
chikwangwani kuyambira ndi Nocturne 2021 ku Halifax. Masamba atha kuphatikizira, koma alibe malire
kupita ku Women Council House, likulu la Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Central
Public Library, Armament Technology (m'modzi mwa opanga zida zazing'ono ku Canada, kuphatikiza
mfuti), Royal Legion ndi Library ya Cambridge Military ku Royal Artillery Park
Kumanga.

Lockheed Martin ali ndi malo ku Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Makontrakitala akulu kwambiri achitetezo mu
zida zankhondo zapadziko lonse lapansi m'mawu amtundu wa webusayiti monga "Kukonzekera ndi Cholinga zimamangidwa
mu zonse zomwe timachita ”. Mu February pa youtube, malonda awo oyamika adadzitamandira kuti
kampaniyo idapereka makina a 50,000th rocket (GMLRS) omwe amadziwika kuti '70 kilomita
mfuti. ' Canada ikukambirana ndi mdierekezi pomwe ikuwona mgwirizano wapamtunda womenya ndege
mpaka maliro a $ 19 biliyoni.

Kodi ziyenera kukhala bwanji kwa mabanja omwe akukhala munkhondo chifukwa cha mantha? Ayenera kutsetsereka kuchokera ku chiyembekezo kupita
mantha mumchira wosatha. Sitingathe kupanga zikwangwani zokwanira kuti zidziwike kutayika kotizungulira.
Kuyambira pomwe tidayamba ntchitoyi, anthu omwe adaphedwa ndi bomba lomwe adachita mu Meyi omwe amalimbana ndi atsikana kusukulu
Kabul yakwera mpaka 85. Gaza lakhala likuyaka moto, ndipo ndichoseketsa umunthu wathu kuyitanira
nkhope za ana omwe aperekedwa nsembe akuikidwa m'manda, kuvulazidwa, komanso 'kuwonongeka kwa ndalama.'

Koma zikutheka bwanji kuti 'ana athu aamuna ndi aakazi' ali ndi miyoyo yolemetsa kwambiri pamlingo wa kutayika
kuposa mwana wa Afghani kapena Yemeni? Kodi miyoyo ya iwo omwe amapita kumwamba ndi ulemu bwanji
pansi pa mapiko okonda dziko lako amaposa miyoyo ya omwe akuyembekezera madzi oyera?

Timachitira umboni za njala ya kulimba mtima ndi mphamvu mu ndale zonyengerera ndipo
kubisa ndi kuvulaza. Kukonzekera nkhondo ndi makina omwe amakoka pakati
zongonena ndi zomveka. Kukhazikitsa mtendere kumatikumbutsa kuti tiyenera kuchita nawo mphindi ino
wotsimikiza mtima kuti aletse makampani opha anzawo omwe amapereka ana awo modzifunira.
