kuchokera Zodabwitsa Zowonongeka
Kodi cholera yaying'ono - pepani, miliri yoyipa kwambiri cha matenda omwe angathe kulephereka m'mbiri yamakono - poyerekeza ndi zosowa zachuma chomwe chikuyenda bwino?
Sabata imodzi asanadulitsidwe nduna ya Prime Minister Theresa May ku Britain chifukwa choganiza kuti adaonera zolaula pakompyuta yake yaboma, wakale Secretary of State Damian Green idatchulidwa mu Guardian ponena kuti kugulitsa zida zankhondo zaku Britain ku Saudi Arabia kunali kofunika chifukwa: "Makampani athu otetezedwa ndiopanga ntchito ndi chitukuko."
Mawu amenewo sindiwo wonyoza - bizinesi monga mwa masiku onse. Ndipo kunena zoona Great Britain imangopereka kotala la zida Ku Saudi Arabia kutulutsa kumenya nkhondo yake yowononga motsutsana ndi zigawenga za ku Houthi ku Yemen. United States imapereka zoposa theka, mayiko a 17 mayiko ena nawonso akugulitsa pamsika.
Izi ndi gawo lalikulu ladziko lapansi pankhondo, opambana ambiri ndi ochepa okha, otayika osayang'aniridwa bwino. Otayika akuphatikizira ambiri a anthu aku Yemen, omwe asandulika kuphompho, chiyembekezo ndi matenda opititsa patsogolo gehena omwe akukakamizidwa kuti apirire, pomwe osewera apadziko lonse akumenyera nkhondo yolamulira zigawo.
Misala yamtunduwu yakhala ikuchitika kuyambira chiyambi cha chitukuko. Koma mawu omwe akufuula motsutsana ndi nkhondo amakhalabe achabechabe komanso osalankhulanso ndale ngati kale. Nkhondo ndilothandiza kwambiri pazandale komanso zachuma kuti singatengeke ndi zovuta.
“Kumvetsetsa kwathu nkhondo. . . ali osokonezeka komanso osasinthika monga malingaliro a matenda anali zaka za 200 zapitazo, "a Barbara Ehrenreich analemba m'buku lake Mipira ya Magazi.
Izi ndizosangalatsa, poganiza kuti "Mliri wa kolera ku Yemen wafika waukulu kwambiri komanso wakufalitsa matenda kwambiri m'mbiri yamakono," ndioposa izi miliyoni miliyoni akuwakayikira adanenedwa, ndipo ena mwa kufa kwa 2,200. "Pafupifupi 4,000 milandu yomwe akuwakayikira imanenedwa tsiku ndi tsiku, oposa theka la omwe ali mwa ana ochepera 18," malinga ndi Kate Lyons ndi Guardian. "Ana omwe ali ndi zaka zosakwana zisanu amafunsira theka la milandu yonse."
A Lyons atenga mawu a Tamer Kirolos, wamkulu wa bungwe la Save the Children ku Yemen: "Palibe chikaikire kuti ili ndi vuto la anthu," adatero. Cholera imangomva m'mutu pakakhala chisamaliro chokwanira. Onse omwe ali pamtsutsowu ayenera kutenga nawo mbali pa ngozi zomwe takumana nazo. "
Ndibwerezanso: Ili ndi vuto lopangidwa ndi anthu.
Zotsatira zamasewera olimbitsa thupi awa ndizophatikizira kuwonongeka kwa ukhondo wa ku Yemen ndi njira zamagulu aboma. Ndipo ochepera ndi ochepera Yemenis amatha. . . madzi oyera, chifukwa cha Mulungu.
Ndipo yonse ndi gawo lamasewera amphamvu. Pofuna kuthana ndi zigawenga zachi Shiite zothandizidwa ndi Iran, mgwirizano wa Saudi "walinga kuthetsa ntchito yopanga chakudya ndi kugawa" ndi kampeni yake yoponya bomba, malinga ndi wofufuza wa London School of Economics a Martha Mundy. Nditawerenga izi, sindingachitire mwina koma ndikuganiza za Operation Ranch Hand, lingaliro la US munkhondo yanthawi ya Vietnam kuwononga mbewu ndi kuphimba mitengo pomalanda dzikolo ndi ma galoni mamiliyoni angapo a 20, kuphatikiza ndi Agent Orange osadziwika bwino.
Kodi ndi nkhondo kapena ndale ziti zomwe zingapangitse kuti izi zitheke? Zowona zenizeni zimapitirira kufotokozera konse, zonse zakwiya.
Ndipo gulu lankhondo lapadziko lonse lomenyera nkhondo lili nako, momwe ndingatchulire, kutchera pang'ono kuposa momwe kunaliri theka la zaka zapitazo. Ndale za ku America zikuwulula, sizikufuna kudzipanga kukhala tsogolo labwino. A Donald Trump ndi purezidenti.
Kutsatira ake a State of the Union Lachiwiri usiku, a Bulletin ya Atomic Scientists, yomwe yasunthira chithunzi chake cha Doomsday Clock choyambirira mphindi ziwiri mpaka pakati pausiku, idatulutsa mawu:
"Omwe akuchita zida zazikulu za zida za nyukiliya ayandikira mpikisano wothamangitsa zida zankhondo, womwe ungakhale wokwera mtengo kwambiri ndipo ungakulitse ngozi ndi malingaliro olakwika. Kuzungulira padziko lonse lapansi, zida za nyukiliya zatsala pang'ono kugwiritsidwa ntchito chifukwa chogulitsa mayiko pazinthu zawo zanyukiliya. Purezidenti Trump anali wowonekeratu mu State Address ya Union Address usiku watha pomwe anati 'tiyenera kupanga makina athu ndikukonzanso zida zathu zanyukiliya.' . . .
"Makope osiyidwa a Nuclear Posture Review omwe akubwera akuwonetsa kuti US ili pafupi kuyamba njira yotetezeka, yodalirika komanso yodula. Bulletin yatsimikiza kudera nkhawa komwe maiko monga United States, China ndi Russia akusunthira, ndipo izi zikuwonjezereka. ”
Ili ndi vuto lopangidwa ndi anthu. Kapena kodi sichinthu chocheperako kuposa chimenecho - vuto lakuyipa kwambiri kwa chibadwa cha anthu? Ku Yemen, kolera ndi njala zamasulidwa ndi amuna pofunafuna kupambana pazifukwa zawo. Nkhope za ana ovutika ndi ana omwe akumwalira - zotsatila zake. Izi ndi zolakwika, koma mwachilengedwe, kodi pali chilichonse chosintha?
Ziwawa zimagulitsabe ngati kufunika kwachitetezo. "Tiyenera kupanga zida zathu za zida za zida za nyukiliya kukhala zamakono." Ndipo zikugulidwabe, makamaka ndi iwo omwe akuganiza kuti ziwawazi zimangokhudza wina.
