kuchokera Maloto Amodzi, December 12, 2018
"Usadandaule apa," agogo aakazi a Okinawan a ku Xina omwe sindinayambe ndakomana nawo asanandiuze. Iye anayima pafupi ndi ine ndipo anatenga dzanja langa. Ndakhala ndikuyendera banja langa ku Okinawa ndi ana anga anayi kumayambiriro kwa mwezi wa August ndipo tinapita ku Henoko, kumpoto chakum'maŵa kwa chilumba chathu chachikulu, kuti tizitsutsa kuti asilikali a US adasamutsidwa kuchokera ku US Marine Corps Air Station kuchokera ku Futenma. mkatikati mwa dera lakumidzi, kupita ku Camp Schwab, kudera lakutali kwambiri. Ine ndi mwana wanga wamkazi, Kaiya, tinakhala tsiku limodzi ndi akulu akulu omwe ali ndi zizindikiro zodzitetezera kutsogolo kwa zipata za Camp Schwab. Mzere ndi mizere ya magalimoto akuluakulu a 86 akuwombera miyala ikuluikulu yapitayi, okonzeka kufotokoza nyanja yam'mwamba, mofanana ndi kukula kwa masewera a mpira wa 400. Malo athu okongola, otentha ndi zamoyo zonse zomwe zimalengezedwa ndi kutetezedwa padziko lonse lapansi, posachedwa zidzaphwanyidwa, kuononga moyo wamakoma ndi nyanja. Izi, ngakhale kutsutsidwa kwakukulu kwa anthu achimwenye a pachilumbachi. Ndinayamba kulira pamene ndinkalemba chizindikiro changa chotsutsa.
"Agogo adzalira pamene ndikafika kunyumba usikuuno kotero ndidzakhala ndikulira nanu," anatambasula dzanja langa. "Pano, timamenyana limodzi." Tinkayang'ana pamene magalimoto anasefukira pachipata cha asilikali omwe apolisi achijapani anali atatithamangitsa nthawi yapitayi. Misozi inamuona iye anati, "Sizingakhale zachilendo ngati tonse tinalumphira kutsogolo kwa magalimoto onsewa, chifukwa ndi nyanja yathu. Ichi ndi chisumbu chathu. "
Pakatha miyezi inayi kuchokera pamene ndinalowa nawo akuluakulu a ku Okinawan kunyumba ndipo ambiri akhala akupitiliza sabata mlungu uliwonse - ena, tsiku lililonse - ngakhale atachotsedwa mwachangu ndi apolisi achiwawa a ku Japan. Pakalipano, konkrete ndi zitsulo zathyoledwa m'nyanja pamwamba pa makorali kuti adziwe momwe mazikowo adzamangidwira. Bwanamkubwa Takeshi Onaga, yemwe adakwanitsa kuthetsa zomangamanga, adafa ndi khansara mu August ndipo anthu a Okinawan anasankha bwanamkubwa watsopano, Denny Tamaki, chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwake - malinga ndi lonjezo lake kuti adzaletsa kuwonongedwa kwa Henoko. Oposa a 75,000 a Okinawans anasonyezeratu pachiwonetsero cha chilumba pa nyengo yamkuntho kuti awonetse dziko lapansi momwe ife timatsutsira mwamphamvu zomangamanga. Komabe, boma la Japan lalikulu linalengeza kuti pa December 13th (UST) - Lachinayi - iwo adzayambiranso kukwirira ndi mchenga ndi konkire. Akuluakulu akutsutsa kuti kumanga maziko a Henoko atsopano n'kofunika kuti asunge mgwirizano wa chitetezo cha US-Japan; ndipo akuluakulu a boma la United States adayendetsa malo oti azikhala otetezeka m'deralo.
Ntchito yomanga maziko a Henoko yakhazikitsidwa ndi mbiri ya chikomyunizimu ndi tsankho pakati pa anthu a ku Okinawa, komanso kupitirizabe kukana kwathu pamene tikuyesa kutha kwa ntchito ya US. Okinawa kale anali ufumu wodziimira; dziko la Japan linalamulidwa ndi zaka za m'ma 17th ndipo nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse inayamba kuphedwa kwambiri m'mbiri ya Pacific, kumene anthu oposa atatu mwa anthu onse anaphedwa miyezi itatu, kuphatikizapo a m'banja langa. Anthu makumi asanu ndi anayi ndi awiri pa zana a Okinawans anatsala opanda pokhala.
Dziko la United States linatenga malowa kuchokera ku anthu a ku Okinawan, linakhazikitsa maboma ankhondo, ndipo linakhazikitsa lamulo latsopano la dziko la Japan limene linapangitsa ufulu wa Japan kukhala ndi asilikali osokoneza bongo. Kuchokera pano, asilikali a US "adzateteza" Japan ndi maziko onse m'dera la Japan. Komabe, magawo atatu mwa magawo atatu a dziko lonse la US ku gawo la Japan ali ku Okinawa, ngakhale kuti Okinawa amapangidwa ndi 0.6 peresenti ya dziko lonse la Japan lomwe likulamulira. Chilumba chachikulu cha Okinawa chokha ndi 62 mailosi okha, ndipo pafupifupi mtunda umodzi wamtunda. Ndili pano kuti zaka za 73 za ku United States zakhala zikuwononga chiwonongeko, kuwonongeka kwa mpweya ndi kuwonongeka kwa phokoso, komanso opulumuka ndi mabanja omwe akuwonetsedwa poyera ndikukumana ndi nkhondo. Kuchita zachiwawa mobwerezabwereza kwa amayi ndi ana ndi asilikali a US nthawi zonse kumatulutsa anthu zikwizikwi kuti afune chilungamo ndi umunthu komanso kuchotsedwa kwathunthu kwa mabungwe a US.
Ndipo ntchito ikupitiriza. Tsopano, boma la Japan lalikulu likumangiriza kumanganso malo ena - omwewa m'nyanja yokha, m'dera la Henoko ku Okinawa. Chaputala chatsopano mu nkhondo ya Okinawa yomwe ikupitirizabe kunyalanyaza ulamuliro, kudzikonda ndi ufulu waumunthu wotsimikiziridwa ndi zisankho za United Nations. Anthu a ku Okinawan avota kwambiri kuti amatsutsana ndi zomangamanga - zaka zoposa 20, kuyambira pansi pomwepo.
Nyanja ya Henoko ndi yachiwiri ku Great Barrier Reef m'zinthu zosiyanasiyana. Mitundu yambiri ya 5,300 imakhala mumtsinje wa Oura, kuphatikizapo mitundu ya 262 yomwe ili pangozi yofanana ndi ntchentche za m'nyanja komanso nyanja. Kale sabata ino, Ryukyu Shimpo adanena kuti zida ziwiri zomwe zikuyang'anitsitsa zikusowa, ndipo zolosera kuti kumveka kosavuta kumanga pamabedi a m'mphepete mwa nyanja.
Kwa ine, kumenya nkhondo kwa Henoko ndiko kulemekeza kukhalapo kwa anthu anga komanso ufulu wathu woteteza dziko lathu. Ndikulimbikitsidwa kuchokera ku chionetsero cha ophunzira a ku Australia kuti asiye kampani ya malasha a Adani kumanga migodi ya malasha ku Queensland, komanso kuchokera ku gulu la anthu a Kanaka Maoli kuti awononge chiwonongeko cha Mauna Kea ku Hawai'i chifukwa cha telescope ya 18. Okinawa ndi nyumba yanga, nyumba ya makolo anga. Kuwonongeka sikungatheke.
Zoonadi, zomwe zikuchitika ku Okinawa sizomwezo zokhazokha. United States ili ndi zida zankhondo zoposa 800 m'mayiko oposa 70 kuzungulira dziko lapansi. Ndipo malo awa ali, kapena anali, nyumba za anthu - monga momwe anthu anga aliri ku Okinawa. Kuwonongedwa kwa Henoko ndi mbali ya zikuluzikulu zapachifumu za ku United States za padziko lonse. Zomwe zimachitika m'mabuku a Okinawa kwa anthu a Chimwenye kulikonse. Zomwe zimachitika mu nkhani za Okinawa kuti zikhale zolimbana kulikonse. Zomwe zimachitika ku Okinawa ndi zovuta zamoyo kulikonse.
Pamene ndikulemba, ndikulandira mauthenga ochokera ku Okinawa kulengeza kufika kwa ngalawa zambiri zodzaza mchenga ndi konkire okonzekera kutsanulira ndondomeko ya malo a hektala la 205. Ndili ndi masiku anayi okha chisanafike chiwonongeko cha mitundu yosiyanasiyana yosasinthika, wokondedwa wina wa ku Okinawan ku America ndipo ine ndinayambitsa pulojekiti yofuna kuti pakhale ntchito yomanga maziko ku Henoko: #standwithokinawa.
Chonde lembani uthenga wanu wogwirizana, kuitanitsa oimira anu kutenga nawo mbali poteteza Henoko, ndi kuyanjana ndi mabungwe ndi othandizira kuti atithandize kumenyera ufulu wathu monga anthu a Okinawan. Kuphatikiza apo, bungwe la mgwirizano wa mayiko padziko lonse kuti apititse patsogolo changu chokhazikitsa zomangamanga. Lembani pempholi kwa Purezidenti Trump akudandaulira kuti United States iime kuwononga kwa Henoko https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/stop-landfill-henoko-oura-bay-until-referendum-can-be-held-okinawa.
Mmodzi mwa auntie omwe adakhalapo m'chilimwe ichi, "Sizinakhale maboma kapena ndandale omwe atseka ntchito yomanga heliport zaka zisanu zapitazo. Amakhala anthu wamba; odzipereka, okalamba ndi anthu omwe amangoganizira za Okinawa. Ndipo izo zidzakhala kuti ndi ndani yemwe amasintha izi tsopano. Anthu wamba, ambiri, ambiri a ife palimodzi. "Ife tikusowa dziko ndi ife. Imani ndi Okinawa.
