Wolemba Kathy Kelly, Marichi 19, 2020

Zilango ku US motsutsana ndi Iran, zolimbikitsidwa mwankhanza mu Marichi chaka cha 2018, zikupitiliza kulanga anthu onse ovutitsidwa kwambiri. Pakadali pano, ndondomeko ya US "kukakamizidwa kwambiri" imachepetsa kuyesayesa kwa Irani kuthana ndi kuwonongeka kwa COVID-19, kuchititsa zovuta ndi zovuta pamene zikuthandizira kufalikira kwa mliri padziko lonse lapansi. Pa Marichi 12, 2020, Nduna Yachilendo ya Iran a Jawad Zarif adalimbikitsa mayiko omwe ali m'bungwe la UN kuti athetse nkhondo yopanda malire komanso yoopsa yachuma ku United States.

Polankhula ndi Mlembi wamkulu wa UN, Antonio Guterres, Zarif adafotokoza momwe masheya azachuma aku US amalepheretsera anthu aku Iran kulowetsa mankhwala ndi zida zothandizira kuchipatala.

Kwa zaka zopitilira ziwiri, pomwe US ​​idazunza mayiko ena kukana kugula mafuta aku Iran, Irani yalimbana ndi kusokonekera kwachuma.

Mavuto azachuma komanso kuwonongeka kwa zinthu zakuchulukirachulukira tsopano zikuchititsa kuti anthu osamukira kwawo komanso othawa kwawo, omwe alipo mamiliyoni, abwerere ku Afghanistan mowonjezereka kwambiri.

M'masabata awiri okha, zopitilira 50,000 Anthu aku Afghanistan abwerera kuchokera ku Iran, akuwonjezera mwayi kuti milandu ya coronavirus ipita kuchipatala ku Afghanistan. Zaka zambiri za nkhondo, kuphatikizapo kulanda dziko la US ndi kukhala kuchepa Zaumoyo wa Afghanistan komanso njira zogawa chakudya.

Jawad Zarif akufunsa UN kuti aletse kugwiritsa ntchito njala ndi matenda ngati chida chankhondo. Kalata yake ikuwonetsa kuwonongeka komwe kwachitika chifukwa chazokomera zaka makumi ambiri ku United States ndikuwonetsa njira zosinthira kuthetsa zida zankhondo zaku United States.

Munthawi ya nkhondo ya "Desert Storm" ya 1991 ku United States yolimbana ndi Iraq, ndinali mgulu la Gulf Peace Team, - poyamba, ndimakhala ku "kampu yamtendere" yomwe idakhazikitsidwa pafupi ndi malire a Iraq ndi Saudi ndipo pambuyo pake, titachotsedwa Asitikali aku Iraq, mu hotelo ya Baghdad yomwe kale mumakhala atolankhani ambiri. Kupeza makina olembera osiyidwa, tidasungunula kandulo m'mphepete mwake, (US idawononga malo amagetsi aku Iraq, ndipo zipinda zambiri zama hotelo zinali zakuda kwambiri). Tidalipira riboni yolemba makina polemba pepala la red kaboni pazolemba zathu. Akuluakulu aku Iraq atazindikira kuti takwanitsa kulemba chikalatacho, adatifunsa ngati tingalembere kalata yawo kwa Secretary General wa UN. (Iraq idasokonekera kwambiri ngakhale oyang'anira nduna analibe maliboni.) Kalata yopita kwa Javier Perez de Cuellar idapempha UN kuti iletse US kuti iphulitse mseu wapakati pa Iraq ndi Jordan, njira yokhayo yothawira othawa kwawo komanso njira yokhayo yothandizira anthu mpumulo. Atawonongedwa ndi bomba komanso akusowa kale zinthu, Iraq idali, mu 1991, chaka chimodzi chokha muulamuliro wakupha womwe udatenga zaka 13 US isadayambe kulanda ndi kulanda mu 2003. Tsopano, mu 2020, aku Iraq akuvutikabe kuchokera ku umphawi, kusamuka kwawo komanso nkhondo amafuna kuti US ichite zinthu zodzikweza ndikusiya dziko lawo.

Kodi tsopano tikukhala mu nthawi yamadzi? Kachilombo kosaletseka, koopsa kamalekerera malire aliwonse omwe US ​​ikuyesera kulimbitsa kapena kukonzanso. Makampani opanga zida zankhondo ku United States, okhala ndi malo ambiri okumbirako zida zankhondo komanso mphamvu zankhanza zozungulira, sizoyenera pazosowa za "chitetezo". Chifukwa chiyani US, panthawiyi, akuyenera kupita kumayiko ena ndikuwopseza ndikukakamiza ndikukhala ndi ufulu woteteza zopanda chilungamo padziko lonse lapansi? Kudzikuza kotero sikukutsimikizira chitetezo cha asitikali aku United States. US ikadzipatula ndi kumenya Iran, mikhalidwe idzafika poipa ku Afghanistan ndi asitikali aku United States omwe amakhala komweko atha kukhala pachiwopsezo. Mawu osavuta akuti, "Tonse ndife gawo la wina ndi mnzake," zimawonekera bwino.

Ndizothandiza kulingalira za chitsogozo kuchokera kwa atsogoleri akale omwe adakumana ndi nkhondo ndi miliri. Mliri wa chimfine ku Spain mu 1918-19, kuphatikiza nkhanza za Nkhondo Yadziko I, zidapha 50 miliyoni padziko lonse, 675,000 ku US Zikwi za anamwino achikazianali "patsogolo," kupereka chithandizo chamankhwala. Ena mwa iwo anali anamwino achikuda omwe sanaike miyoyo yawo pangozi kuti achite ntchito zachifundo komanso adalimbana ndi tsankho komanso kusankhana mitundu pakufuna kwawo kugwira ntchito. Amayi olimba mtimawa adakonza njira kuti anamwino 18 akuda oyamba agwire ntchito ya Nurse Corps yankhondo ndipo adapereka "chosintha chochepa pamagulu azachipatala."

Kutentha kwa chaka cha 1919, Jane Addams ndi Alice Hamilton adaona mavuto omwe dziko la Germany lidalamulira pomenyera nkhondo yoyamba ya padziko lonse pambuyo pa nkhondo yoyamba yapadziko lonse. Iwo adawona "zakusowa kwa chakudya, sopo ndi mankhwala" ndikulemba mokwiya momwe ana amalangidwira ndi njala chifukwa cha "machimo a aboma."

Njala idapitilirabe ngakhale atachotsedwa kale malowo, chilimwechi, ndikusainirana Pangano la Versailles. Hamilton ndi Addams adanenanso momwe mliri wa chimfine, udakulirakulira chifukwa cha njala komanso kuwonongeka pambuyo pa nkhondo, zomwe zidasokoneza kaperekedwe ka chakudya. Amayi awiriwa adati mfundo yogawa chakudya moyenera inali yofunikira pazifukwa zothandiza komanso zothandiza. “Kodi zikanapindulitsa chiyani kufa ndi ana ambiri osowa chakudya?” makolo achijeremani odabwa anawafunsa.

Jonathan Whitall Akuwongolera Kuwunika Kwaumunthu kwa Médecins Sans Frontières / Madokotala Opanda Malire. Kufufuza kwake kwaposachedwa kumabweretsa mafunso ovuta:

Kodi mukuyenera kusamba m'manja pafupipafupi ngati mulibe madzi kapena sopo? Kodi mukuyenera kukhazikitsa bwanji 'chitukuko' ngati mukukhala m'malo ocheperako kapena othawa kwawo kapena malo okhala? Kodi mukuyenera kukhala bwanji kunyumba ngati ntchito yanu ilipira pofika ola limodzi ndikufuna kuti muwonekere? Kodi mukuyenera kusiya bwanji kudutsa malire ngati mukuthawa nkhondo? Kodi muyenera kuyesedwa bwanji # COVID19 ngati dongosolo laumoyo ndilobisika ndipo simungakwanitse? Kodi anthu omwe ali ndi mavuto azaumoyo amayenera kuchita chiyani mosamala popeza sangathe ngakhale kulandira chithandizo chomwe akufuna?

Ndikuyembekeza kuti anthu ambiri padziko lonse lapansi, pakufalikira kwa COVID-19, akuganiza mozama za kusakhazikika, kusayanjana koopsa m'magulu athu, ndikudabwa momwe angatambasulire mwambi manja amzanga kwa anthu osowa ndikulimbikitsidwa kuvomereza kudzipatula komanso kutalikirana ndi anzawo. Njira imodzi yothandizira ena kupulumuka ndikuumiriza United States kuti ichotse zilango motsutsana ndi Iran ndipo m'malo mwake athandizire kuchitapo kanthu. Limbanani ndi coronavirus pomwe mukupanga tsogolo labwino padziko lapansi osataya nthawi kapena chuma popitiliza nkhondo zankhanza.
