Mgwirizanowu waukulu ukukweza pulogalamu yomenyera ufulu wa mikono ya London

ndi Andrew Metheven, September 13, 2017, Kuchita Zosagwirizana.

Ku London, anthu zikwizikwi ochita ziwonetsero akhala akuchita ziwonetsero zachindunji kuti atseke chimodzi mwa ziwonetsero zazikulu kwambiri za zida padziko lonse lapansi. Bungwe la Defense and Security Equipment International, kapena kuti DSEI, linatsegulidwa pa Sept. 12, koma malo owonetserako omwe amachitirako adatsekedwa mobwerezabwereza mkati mwa sabata lisanayambe, pamene omenyera ufulu adachitapo kanthu kuti asokoneze kukonzekera kwa chionetserocho. Anthu oposa zana limodzi amangidwa, mwa mphekesera zoti kukhazikitsidwa kwa chiwonetserochi kunali m'masiku otsiriza. Izi zikuwonetsa kukwera kwakukulu kwa zochitika m'zaka zapitazi.

Zikuwoneka kuti kuchuluka kwa kukana kwa sabata yatha kudadzaza apolisi ndi okonza mwambowu, monganso luso komanso kutsimikiza kwamagulu ambiri omwe adachita nawo ziwonetserozo. Tsiku lililonse linakonzedwa ndi magulu osiyanasiyana omwe amapanga Imitsa Arms Fair mgwirizano kuti awalole kukonzekera zochita zawo pamodzi ndi anthu amalingaliro ofanana omwe ali ndi nkhawa zofanana. Mitu yosiyanasiyana idaphatikizapo mgwirizano wa Palestine, Palibe Chikhulupiriro mu Nkhondo, No to Nuclear and Arms to Renewables, ndi mgwirizano kupitirira malire. Panalinso msonkhano wamaphunziro pazipata, ndi Semina ya Chikondwerero cha Kutsutsa ndi Nkhondo Imani Pano kumapeto kwa sabata.

Njirayi idalola magulu ndi makampeni omwe sanagwirepo ntchito limodzi kuti apeze zifukwa zomwe zimatsutsana ndi chilungamo. Iwo omwe ankafuna kuyang'ana pa zochita zawo zenizeni adatha kutero, ali ndi chidaliro chakuti mphamvu zambiri zimalowa m'masiku ena otsutsa. Zinapangitsanso anthu atsopano ku gululo kuti apeze gulu la anthu omwe amamva bwino kuchitapo kanthu limodzi. Pamene nkhope zatsopano zikuyamba kugwira nawo ntchitoyi, malingaliro a "mayankho abwino" awonjezeka, pamene mphamvu zomwe zimayikidwa muzochita chimodzi zimabwereranso mu ntchito ya ena ambiri.

Kukhala ndi gulu losiyanasiyana lotere kudapangitsa kuti pakhale zopanga zambiri komanso zoseketsa, kuphatikiza "oyipa kwambiri akutola zida zankhondo" - malo owonetsera komwe DSEI amachitikira amakhalanso ndi misonkhano yanthawi zonse ya sci-fi - ndi Dalek wochokera ku "Doctor amene" kukumbutsa anthu za ufulu wawo mwalamulo asanamangidwe. Panalinso milandu yambiri yamagulu ogwirizana omwe amagwira ntchito limodzi bwino kuti akhazikitse zolepheretsa zosokoneza. Mwachitsanzo, pamene chitseko chinachotsedwa mumsewu ndi gulu la apolisi ocheka pa nthawi yotchinga ndi magulu achipembedzo, ena adachoka pa mlatho wapafupi kuti atseke msewu wina.

DSEI imachitika ku London's docklands zaka ziwiri zilizonse. Makampani opitilira 1,500 akutenga nawo gawo, akuwonetsa zida zankhondo kwa anthu opitilira 30,000, kuphatikiza nthumwi zankhondo zochokera kumayiko omwe ali ndi mbiri yoyipa yaufulu wachibadwidwe ndi mayiko omwe ali pankhondo. Zida ndi zida zoletsedwa zapezeka kuti zikugulitsidwa ku DSEI, kuphatikiza zida zozunzirako anthu komanso zida zamagulu. Ndikofunika kuzindikira, komabe, kuti omwe akukonzekera kulimbana ndi DSEI samangofuna chilungamo, chovomerezeka kapena chopanda zida zankhondo, akufuna kuyimitsa zida zonse. DSEI imapangidwa ndi kampani yabizinesi yotchedwa Clarion Events, mothandizidwa ndi boma la Britain, lomwe limayitanitsa nthumwi zankhondo padziko lonse lapansi.

Kukana zida zankhondo monga DSEI ndikofunikira, chifukwa ndi chimodzi mwazinthu zowonekera bwino kwambiri za malonda a zida; ogulitsa zida zenizeni akugulitsa zida zankhondo zomwe amamanga kwa asitikali omwe akufunafuna umisiri waposachedwa. Kale chaka chino, ziwonetsero zankhondo zayamba Spain, Canada, Israel ndi Czech Republic ayang'anizana ndi zochita zachindunji kuchokera kwa ochita kampeni akumaloko, ndi ADEX ya Seoul ndi ExpoDefensa ya Bogota chifukwa zikuyenera kuchitika m'miyezi ikubwerayi.

Makampani opanga zida zankhondo - monga mafakitale onse - amadalira chiphaso cha anthu kuti agwire ntchito, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti komanso kulandira chithandizo chalamulo kumafunikanso kuthandizidwa ndi anthu ambiri. Chilolezo cha chikhalidwe cha anthu ichi chimalola makampani a zida kuti adzikulunga okha mu chovala chovomerezeka, ndipo kukana malonda a zida kulikonse kumene kukuwonekera ndi njira imodzi yowonekera bwino yotsutsa chilolezo cha chikhalidwe cha anthu.

Pakadali pano, makampani opanga zida zankhondo akuganiza kuti ntchito zake ndi zovomerezeka, koma izi ndi zina chifukwa chakuti anthu ambiri samangoganizira za kukhalapo kwake kapena momwe zimagwirira ntchito. Kuchitapo kanthu molunjika motsutsana ndi zochitika ngati DSEI zimatilola "kuloza chala" ndikuwonetsa chidwi pa malonda ambiri a zida zankhondo, kukayikira ngati ndi zovomerezeka, komanso kulepheretsa mwachindunji kugwira ntchito kwake. Patatsala milungu ingapo kuti chiwonetserochi chiyambe meya watsopano wa London, Sadiq Khan, adati akufuna kuwona DSEI italetsedwa, koma analibe mphamvu zoletsa.

Zochitika zazikulu ngati DSEI zitha kukhala zovuta kuzisokoneza m'njira yayikulu. Ichi n’chifukwa chimodzi chimene anakonzeratu zokonzekera zankhondo, zomwe ndi njira yatsopano. Mgwirizanowu udayang'ananso mphamvu zake pagawoli mu 2015, nthawi yomaliza yomwe chiwonetsero cha zida zidachitika, komanso okonza. anawona kuthekera. Ulalo wofooka kwambiri wa chochitikacho ndizovuta zomwe zimakhazikitsidwa poyambira, ndipo kuthekera kwa izi kumapereka kampeni yochitapo kanthu mwachindunji ndi kusamvera kwa anthu zikuwonekeratu. Kusatheka kutheka kwamakampani ovuta komanso okhala ndi zida zambiri mwadzidzidzi kumawoneka ngati kugwedezeka pang'ono pomwe omenyera ufulu wawo amayika matupi awo m'njira, kubwereza milatho, ndikugwiritsa ntchito zokhoma kuti agwirizane ndi kutsekeka kwa magalimoto onyamula zida.

Monga ogulitsa zida ndi nthumwi zochokera pazenera lankhondo zogulira zida zankhondo masiku atatu otsatira ku DSEI, kudikirira ndi kuchitapo kanthu kupitilirabe, ndipo sabata yonseyi chiwonetsero chazithunzi chodziwika bwino chotchedwa. Art the Arms Fair zidzachitika pafupi ndi pakati. Pali lingaliro lenileni pakati pa okonza kuti gulu lolimba, logwira ntchito likumangidwa lomwe lidzatha kupitiriza kusonyeza kutsutsa kothandiza kwa DSEI m'zaka zikubwerazi.
