Makore makumi maviri apfuura, muBaghdad, ndakagovana nzvimbo dzekugara nevaIraq uye vekune dzimwe nyika mune imwe hotera diki, iyo Al-Fanar, iyo yanga iri muzinda wevazhinji. Manzwi Murenje Nhume dziri kuita mukushora pachena zvirango zvehupfumi zvakatemerwa Iraq. Vakuru vehurumende yeUS vakatipomera sematsotsi nekuendesa mishonga kuzvipatara zveIraq.

Uye takakoka vakuru vakuru vehurumende kuti vabatane nesu. Panzvimbo pezvo, takabatanidzwa zvakatsiga namamwe mapoka orugare aishuva kudzivisa hondo yakanga ichiuya.

Mukupera kwaJanuary 2003, ndakanga ndichiri kutarisira kuti hondo yaigona kudziviswa. Chirevo cheInternational Atomic Energy Agency yakanga yava pedyo. Dai yakazivisa kuti Iraq haina zvombo zvekuparadza kukuru (WMD), vanobatana neUS vanogona kusiya zvirongwa zvekurwiswa, zvisinei nekuwanda kwemauto kwataiona paterevhizheni yehusiku. Ipapo kwakauya Secretary of State Colin Powell's February 5, 2003, United Nations pfupiso, apo iye akasimbisa kuti Iraq yaive neWMD zvechokwadi. Mharidzo yake yaive pakupedzisira akabvumikisa kuva ane chitsotsi pakuverenga kwese, asi zvakapa United States kuvimbika kwakakwana kuti ienderere mberi nekuzara kwayo ne "Shock and Awe" yekubhomba mushandirapamwe.

Kutanga pakati paKurume 2003, kurwiswa kwemhepo kunotyisa kwakarova Iraq siku nesikati. Muhotera medu, vabereki nanasekuru vakanamata kuti vapone kuputika kwenzeve uye kurohwa kwairwadza. Mumwe musikana ane makore mapfumbamwe anofara, anobatanidzwa akatadza kudzora dundira rake zvachose. Vana vadiki vakagadzira mitambo yekutevedzera kurira kwemabhomba uye kunyepedzera kushandisa tochi diki sepfuti.

Boka redu rakashanyira mawadhi ezvipatara uko vana vakaremara vaichema pavakanga vava kuvhiyiwa. Ndinoyeuka ndakagara pabhenji kunze kwekamuri rokukurumidzira. Padivi pangu, mumwe mukadzi akagwinha-gwinha achichema achibvunza kuti, “Ndichamuudza sei? Ndichati kudii?” Aifanira kuudza muzukuru wake, uyo akanga achivhiyiwa nechimbichimbi, kuti akanga asina kungorasikirwa namawoko ake ose ari maviri uyewo kuti iye zvino akanga ava hama yake bedzi yakanga yasara. Bhomba rekuAmerica rakanga rarova mhuri yaAli Abbas pavakanga vachidya masikati kunze kwemba yavo. Mumwe chiremba akazotaura kuti akanga atoudza Ali kuti vakanga vamugura maoko ake ose. "Asi," Ali akamubvunza, "ndichagara ndakadai here?"

Ndakadzokera kuAl-Fanar Hotel manheru iwayo ndiine hasha nekunyara. Ndiri ndega mukamuri mangu, ndakarova piro yangu, ndichigunun’una nemisodzi, “Tichagara takadaro here?”

Mukati meHondo dzekusingaperi dzemakumi maviri emakore apfuura, mauto eUS mumauto-industrial-Congressional-media complex vakaratidza havi yehondo isingagutsikane. Kashoma kuti vateerere kuparara kwavanenge vasiya mushure mekunge va“pedza” hondo yekusarudza.
Kutevera hondo ye2003 "Shock and Awe" muIraq, munyori wemabhuku wekuIraq Sinan Antoon akagadzira mutambi mukuru, Jawad, mu. The Corpse Washer, uyo akanzwa kuremerwa nokuwanda kwezvitunha zvaaifanira kutarisira.

“Ndakanzwa sokunge takanga tarohwa nokudengenyeka kwepasi kwakanga kwachinja chinhu chiri chose,” Jawad anorangarira kudaro. “Kwemakumi emakore aitevera, taizove tichitsvanzvadzira mumarara ayakasiya. Kare kwaive nerukova pakati peSunni nevaShi͑ite, kana boka iri neiyo, yaigona kuyambuka zviri nyore kana kusaonekwa dzimwe nguva. Zvino, mushure mekudengenyeka kwenyika, nyika yakange yave nemapazi ese aya uye hova dzakange dzave nzizi. Nzizi dzakava hova dzakazadzwa neropa, uye ani naani aiedza kuyambuka ainyura. Mifananidzo yeavo vaiva mhiri kwerwizi yakanga yakwidibira uye yashatiswa . . . madziro ekongiri akasimuka kuti asimbise dambudziko racho.”

"Hondo yakaipa kupfuura kudengenyeka kwenyika," chiremba anovhiya, Saeed Abuhassan, akandiudza panguva yekubhomba kweIsrael muna 2008-2009 kuGaza, inonzi. Operation Kanda Mutungamiriri. Akataura kuti vanunuri vanobva kumativi ose enyika pashure pokudengenyeka kwenyika, asi hondo padzinorwiwa, hurumende dzinotumira zvombo zvakawanda chete, zvichirebesa kurwadziwa kwacho.

Akatsanangura mhedzisiro yezvombo zvakaremadza varwere vaivhiyiwa muGaza's Al-Shifa Hospital sezvo mabhomba airamba achidonha. Dense inert metal zvinoputika cheka maoko nemaoko evanhu nenzira isingagoni kugadziriswa nevarapi. Zvimedu zvebhomba re phosphorus zvichena, zvakaiswa pasi peganda munyama yemunhu, zvinoramba zvichitsva kana zvasangana neokisijeni, zvichifemesa varapi vachiedza kubvisa zvinhu zvakashata.

"Munoziva, chinhu chinonyanya kukosha chaunogona kuudza vanhu munyika yako ndechekuti vanhu vekuUS vakabhadhara zvombo zvakawanda zvakashandiswa kuuraya vanhu muGaza," Abuhassan akadaro. "Uye ichi ndicho chikonzero chakanyanya kuipa kupfuura kudengenyeka kwenyika."

Sezvo pasi rose rapinda mugore rechipiri rehondo pakati peUkraine neRussia, vamwe vanoti hazvinetse kuti vanorwira runyararo vachemedze kuti kumiswa kwehondo uye nhaurirano dzikurumidze. Zvinokudzwa here kuona murwi wemabhegi ezvitunha, mariro, kucherwa kweguva, mataundi achiva asingachagariki, uye kuwedzera kungaita kuti pave nehondo yenyika kana kuti kunyange hondo yenyukireya?

Vezvenhau vekuUS havawanzo kuita napurofesa Noam Chomsky, ane huchenjeri uye pragmatic ongororo inotsamira pazvinhu zvisingarambiki. Muna June 2022, mwedzi mina muhondo yeRussia-Ukraine, Chomsky Akataura yezvisarudzo zviviri, imwe ichive yenhaurirano yekugadzirisana. "Imwe," akadaro, "kungoiburitsa kunze uye kuona kuti munhu wese achatambura zvakadini, vangani veUkraine vachafa, Russia ichatambura zvakadini, mamirioni mangani evanhu achafa nenzara muAsia neAfrica, sei. zvakawanda tichaenderera mberi nekupisa mhoteredzo kusvika pakunenge kusingazove nemukana wekuvapo kwehupenyu hwevanhu.

Zvikoro, zvipatara, nezvimwe zvivakwa zvisiri varwi zvavanovimba nazvo zvinoramba zvichikuvadzwa kana kuparadzwa. Mhuri dzakaparadzaniswa uye upenyu hwakaparadzana.”

Kufungidzira kweRussia neUkraine varwi vehondo zvinosiyana, asi vamwe vakati masoja anopfuura 200,000 XNUMX kumativi ose akaurayiwa kana kukuvadzwa.

Kugadzirira kugumbura kukuru kusati kwanyura, hurumende yeRussia yakazivisa kuti yaizodaro kubhadhara bhonasi kumauto anoparadza zvombo zvinoshandiswa nevarwi vekuUkraine izvo zvakatumirwa kubva kunze kwenyika. Bhonasi yemari yeropa iri kutonhora, asi pamwero mukuru, vagadziri vezvombo vakuru vakawana "mabhonasi" akatsiga kubva pakatanga hondo.

Mugore rapfuura chete, United States akatuma $27.5 bhiriyoni murubatsiro rwemauto kuUkraine, ichipa "motokari dzehondo, dzinosanganisira vatakuri vevashandi veStryker, mota dzehondo dzeBradley, mota dzeMine-Resistant Ambush Protected, uye High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled mota."

Vakanga vasingade kutipa maitiro eHimars, vakabva vaita. Vaisada kutipa matank, manje vave kutipa matank. Kunze kwezvombo zvenyukireya, hapana chasara chatisingazotore, "akaudza Reuters.

Ukraine haigone kuwana zvombo zvenyukireya, asi njodzi yehondo yenyukireya yaive chinotsanangurwa ari Bulletin yeAtomic Scientists chirevo chaNdira 24, icho chakaisa Doomsday Clock ye2023 kusvika kumasekonzi makumi mapfumbamwe pamberi pedimikira "pakati peusiku." Masayendisiti akanyevera kuti migumisiro yehondo yeRussia neUkraine haina kuganhurirwa kukuwedzera kunotyisa kwengozi yenyukireya; zvinokanganisawo nhamburiko dzepasi rose dzekurwisa kushanduka kwemamiriro ekunze.

Mary Robinson, aimbove Mumiriri Mukuru weUnited Nations weHuman Rights, anoti Wachi yeDoomsday inorira vanhu vese. “Tiri kumucheto kwemawere,” akadaro. “Asi vatungamiriri vedu havasi kuita zvekumhanya zvakaringana kana chiyero kuchengetedza pasi rine runyararo uye rinogara. Kubva pakucheka kuburitsa kabhoni kusvika pakusimbisa zvibvumirano zvekudzora zvombo uye kuisa mari mukugadzirira denda, tinoziva zvinoda kuitwa. Sayenzi iri pachena, asi kuda kwezvematongerwo enyika hakuna. Izvi zvinofanirwa kuchinja muna 2023 kana tichida kudzivirira njodzi. Tiri kutarisana nematambudziko akawanda aripo. Vatungamiriri vanoda dambudziko repfungwa. "

Sezvatinoita tose. Wachi yeDoomsday inoratidza kuti tiri kurarama nenguva yekukwereta. Hatifaniri “kugara takadai.”

Mumakore gumi apfuura, ndakaita rombo rakanaka kugamuchirwa munzendo dzakawanda dzekuKabul, Afghanistan, nevadiki vekuAfghan vaitenda nemoyo wese kuti mazwi anogona kusimba kupfuura zvombo. Vaitsigira chirevo chakapfava, chine musoro chokuti: “Ropa harigezi ropa.”

Tine chikwereti kuzvizvarwa zvinotevera kuedza kwese kunobvira kuramba hondo yese uye kudzivirira pasi.
