ndi Patrick T. Hiller, January 10, 2018
Dziko lapansi latsala mwezi umodzi kuti masewero a Olympic a Zima a PyeonChang 2018 achitike ku South Korea. Anzanga ku South Korea agula kale matikiti a zochitika zingapo. Umenewu unali mwayi wabwino kwambiri kwa makolowo wosonyeza ana awo aamuna aŵiri kuti asonyeze luso la maseŵera othamanga ndi mpikisano waubwenzi pakati pa mayiko amene ali ndi mzimu wa Olympic.
Zonse zili bwino, kupatula kuopa nkhondo ya nyukiliya yoyambitsidwa ndi atsogoleri opupuluma ku North Korea ndi United States. Zokambirana zaposachedwa pakati pa North ndi South Korea zimatipatsa kuwala kwa chiyembekezo kuti mzimu wa Olimpiki umadutsa masewerawa kukhala ndale. Pierre de Coubertin, woyambitsa maseŵera a Olympic amakono akuti “chinthu chofunika kwambiri si kupambana, koma kutengamo mbali.” Izi ndizofunikira kwambiri mkangano womwe ulipo pakati pa North Korea ndi South Korea. Chinthu chofunika kwambiri si kugwirizana pa chilichonse, koma kulankhula.
Masewera a Olimpiki amapereka mphindi yapadera yochepetsera mikangano ndikulimbikitsa mtendere pa Peninsula ya Korea. Nkhani zoyamba zatsogolera kale ku mgwirizano wa North Korea kutumiza nthumwi ku Olimpiki, kukakambirana zochepetsera mikangano pamalire, ndikutsegulanso foni yankhondo. Gawo lirilonse laling'ono lomwe limachokera kumphepete mwa nkhondo liyenera kuthandizidwa ndi mayiko onse ndi mabungwe a anthu. Akatswiri othetsa mikangano nthawi zonse amayang'ana mipata mikangano yosatheka ngati iyi. Mwayi wakukambirana kwachindunji pakati pa aku Korea uyenera kuyankhidwa moyenera.
Choyamba, anthu omwe si a ku Korea ayenera kulola anthu aku Korea kuti azilankhula. Anthu aku Korea ndi akatswiri pazokonda zawo komanso zosowa zawo. A US makamaka akuyenera kukhala kumbuyo, kupangitsa kuthandizira kupitiliza zokambirana motsogozedwa ndi Korea. Purezidenti Trump adalemba kale thandizo la tweet, lomwe ndi lothandiza koma losalimba. Ndi tweet imodzi yankhondo, Purezidenti atha kusokoneza kuyesetsa konse. Chifukwa chake ndikofunikira kuti magulu olimbikitsa mtendere, oyimira malamulo, ndi anthu aku America afotokozere thandizo lawo pazokambirana pankhondo.
Chachiwiri, ngakhale zopambana zazing'ono zimakhala zazikulu. Zomwe zimachitika kuti patatha pafupifupi zaka ziwiri osakumana, nthumwi zapamwamba zochokera kumbali zonse ziwiri zidakumana ndizopambana. Komabe, ino si nthawi yoyembekezera kuvomereza kwakukulu, monga North Korea kuyimitsa mwadzidzidzi pulogalamu yake ya zida za nyukiliya.
Ino ndi nthawi yovomereza kuti ma Korea onse awiri achoka bwino pamphepete mwa nkhondo, zomwe zikanatha kupita ku nyukiliya ndikuchitapo kanthu kwa United States. Zoyambira zazing'onozi zachepetsa kale mikangano yaposachedwa komanso njira zotseguka zopitira patsogolo kwanthawi yayitali pazinthu zazikulu monga kuzizira kwa nyukiliya ku North Korea, kuyimitsidwa kwa masewera ankhondo ndi US ndi South Korea, kutha kwankhondo yaku Korea, kuchotsedwa kwankhondo. Asilikali aku US ochokera m'derali, komanso kuyesetsa kwanthawi yayitali kuyanjanitsa pakati pa mayiko awiriwa.
Chachitatu, chenjerani ndi owononga zinthu. Mkangano waku Korea ndi wovuta, wopirira komanso wokhudzidwa ndi zovuta komanso kusinthasintha kwa geopolitics. Padzakhala anthu ndi magulu omwe akuyesera kusokoneza njira zolimbikitsa. Zokambirana zaku Korea-Korea zitangotchulidwa, otsutsa adadzudzula Kim Jong-Un poyesera "kulimbikitsa mgwirizano pakati pa South Korea ndi US” pofuna kufooketsa kukakamizidwa kwa mayiko ndi zilango kumpoto. Prime Minister waku Japan Shinzo Abe ndi Mlembi wamkulu wakale wa United Nations a Ban Ki-moon ochokera ku South Korea amajambula chithunzi cha North Korea yoopsa ndipo amafuna kuti denuclearization ndiyo mfundo yofunika kwambiri.
Mfundo zazikuluzikulu za zokambirana zopambana m'mbiri yakale zimasonyeza kuti kuyankhulana popanda ziyeneretso ndi njira yabwino kwambiri yopezera mphamvu pakati pa magulu omwe akutsutsana. Pomaliza, thandizo laposachedwa la Purezidenti Trump la US litha kuthetsedwa ndi tweet. Sitingathe kutsutsa kuti North Korea yomwe ili ndi ziwanda ikupereka njira yofunikira pakuchita bwino komanso kuvomerezedwa kochepa. Chifukwa chake ndikofunikira kupitiliza kuloza masitepe ang'onoang'ono ndi abwino.
Palibe amene akudziwa zomwe zotsatira za masitepe ang'onoang'ono omwe alipo ndipo zidzakhala. Owononga owononga amatha kuimba mlandu olimbikitsa zokambirana kuti apereka chilolezo chaulere ku pulogalamu ya zida zanyukiliya yaku North Korea komanso kuphwanya ufulu wa anthu. Mawu ena ocheperako angakane kuvomereza zokambirana ngati chida chothandizira kuchepetsa mikangano yomwe ilipo. Kutuluka mu mkangano waukulu ngati uwu kumatenga nthawi yaitali ndipo masitepe ambiri ang'onoang'ono adzakhala ofunikira nkhani zazikuluzikulu zisanathe. Zopinga zimayembekezeredwanso. Chomwe chiyenera kukhala chodziwikiratu, ndikuti nthawi yayitali komanso kusatsimikizika kwa zokambirana nthawi zonse kumakhala koyenera kuposa zoopsa zina zankhondo.
Chaka chatha, chiwopsezo cha Purezidenti Trump cha "moto ndi ukali" ku North Korea chidawonetsa kuchuluka kwankhondo posachedwa. Zokambirana zapakati pa ma Korea awiri pamasewera a Olimpiki ndi njira yabwino yotalikirana ndi moto ndi ukali komanso kuwunikira kwa chiyembekezo kwa nyali ya Olympian. Panjira ya mkanganowu, tikuyang'ana pa mfundo yofunika kwambiri—kodi tikupita ku kukwera kwatsopano kapena kokulirapo kapena tikuyenda panjira yolimbikitsa ndi ziyembekezo zenizeni?
Lolani aku Korea alankhule. Monga dziko la US lawononga mokwanira, monga aku America titha kuwonetsetsa kuti dziko lathu likuthandizira pano komanso kupitilira Olimpiki. Mantra iyi iyenera kuyimba m'makutu mwa osankhidwa athu: Achimereka amathandizira zokambirana pankhondo. Kenako ndingauze anzanga a ku Korea kuti tayesetsa kuonetsetsa kuti anyamata awo apita ku Olympic Winter Games kenako n’kubwerera kusukulu popanda kudera nkhawa za nkhondo ya nyukiliya.
