Musi waJune 15, 2017, the New York Times yakashuma kuti hurumende yeSaudi Arabia ine chinangwa chekurerutsa kushushikana kwevamwe veparamende veUS pamusoro pekutengesa zvombo zveUS kuSaudi Arabia. VaSaudis vanoronga kuita "chirongwa chemadhora mazana manomwe nemakumi mashanu emamiriyoni emadhora kuburikidza nemauto eAmerica kubatsira kudzivirira kuuraya netsaona kwevanhu munhandare inotungamirwa neSaudi kurwisa vapanduki veHouthi muYemen." Kubva kupinda muhondo muYemen, muna Kurume we750, mauto eSaudi coalition airstrikes, nerubatsiro rweUS. akaparadza mabhiriji, migwagwa, mafekitari, mapurazi, marori ezvekudya, mhuka, zvivakwa zvemvura, uye mabhanga ezvekurima mhiri kwekuchamhembe, uku achivhara nharaunda. Kune nyika inotsamira zvakanyanya parubatsiro rwechikafu kubva kunze kwenyika, zvinoreva kufa nenzara. Vanhu vanosvika mamiriyoni manomwe vari kutambura nekushaya zvokudya zvinovaka muviri.
US rubatsiro kumubatanidzwa unotungamirwa neSaudi waisanganisira kupa zvombo, kugovera hungwaru, kunanga rubatsiro, uye kukwirisa jeti remuchadenga. "Kana vakamisa refueling, izvo zvaizomisa nhimbe yokubhomba mangwana chaiwo,” anodaro Iona Craig, anogara achishuma achibva kuYemen, “nemhaka yokuti mubatanidzwa wacho waisazokwanisa kutumira ndege dzavo dzokurwa kuti dziite zvinhu pasina rubatsiro irworwo.”
IUS yakapawo "chifukidziro" chekutyorwa kweSaudi mutemo wepasirese. Musi wa27 Gumiguruth, 2015, Saudi Arabia yakabhomba chipatara cheYemeni chinoshandiswa na Doctors Without Borders. Kurova kwendege kwakatora maawa maviri, zvichiita kuti chipatara chive matongo. VaBan Ki Moon, panguva iyoyo Secretary General weUN, vakayambira hurumende yeSaudi kuti irwise nzvimbo yekurapa. VaSaudis vakapindura kuti veU.S. vakanga vabhomba zvakafanana chipatara cheDoctors Without Borders, mudunhu reAfghanistan Kunduz, iyo zvechokwadi US yakanga yave nayo, pakutanga kwemwedzi iwoyo, muna Gumiguru 3, 2015. Kurwiswa kwemhepo kweUS kwakaenderera mberi, mumaminitsi gumi nemashanu, kweawa. , kuuraya vanhu makumi mana nevaviri uyewo zvaita kuti chipatara cheDoctors Without Borders chiite ungwandangwanda nemadota.
Mauto eUS aizodzidzisa sei maSaudis kudzivirira kuuraya netsaona kwevanhu? Vaizodzidzisa here vatyairi veSaudi mauto echiuto anoshandiswa apo drones dzeUS dzakarova chinangwa: madziva eropa anoonekwa nemasensa, panzvimbo peyaimbova muviri wemunhu, anonzi "bugsplat." Kana mumwe munhu akaedza kutiza kubva panzvimbo yekurwiswa, munhu iyeye anonzi "squirter." Apo US yakarwisa musha weYemeni we Al Ghayyal, musi wa29 Januaryth, 2017, imwe Navy Seal, Chief Petty Officer Ryan Owen, akaurayiwa zvinosiririsa. Husiku ihwohwo, 10 Yemeni vana vari pasi pemakore gumi nematatu uye vakadzi vatanhatu veYemeni, kusanganisira Fatim Saleh Mohsen, vamwe amai vane makore 30, vakaurayiwa. Mabhomba eUS akapfura imba yaSaleh pakati pehusiku. Nekutya, akasimudza kasvava kake ndokubata ruoko rwemwana wake uyo akanga ari rusvava, ndokufunga kubuda mumba murima. Ainzi squirter here? Chombo cheU.S. chakamuuraya anenge achangotiza. Ko iyo US ichadzidzisa maSaudis kuita muUS kusarudzika, kuderedza hupenyu hwevamwe vatorwa, ichipa pamberi, nguva dzose, kune inonzi chengetedzo yenyika yerudzi nezvombo zvakawanda?
Kwemakore 7 apfuura, ndakaona kuwedzera kwakasimba kweUS kuongorora Afghanistan. Drones, mablimps akasungwa, uye masisitimu akaomarara ekusora anotora mabhiriyoni emadhora, sezviri pachena kuitira kuti vanoongorora vagone "kunzwisisa zviri nani mafambiro ehupenyu muAfghanistan." Ndinofunga kuti uku manyepo. Mauto eUS anoda kunzwisisa zviri nani mafambiro e "High Value Targets" kuitira kuvauraya.
Asi shamwari dzangu dzechidiki mu Peace Volunteer Afghan, (APV), vakandiratidza “kuongorora” kunopa upenyu. Vanoitisa ongororo, vachisvika kumhuri dzinoshaya zvakanyanya muKabul, vachiedza kuona kuti ndedzipi mhuri dzingangove nenzara nekuti havana nzira dzekuwana mupunga nemafuta ekubikisa. APV inozoronga nzira dzekushandisa chirikadzi kusona magumbeze anorema, kana kuripa mhuri dzinobvuma kuendesa vana vavo vashandi kuchikoro kwehafu yezuva.
Ndakaudza shamwari dzangu diki muKabul nezve dambudziko rakatarisana nevechidiki veYemeni. Zvino, pamwe chete nenzara inosundwa nerwisano, kupararira kunotyisa kwekorera kunovatambudza. Save the Children yayambira kuti mwero we cholera hutachiwana muYemen hwakapetwa katatu mumazuva gumi nemana apfuura, neavhareji yevana 14 vanobatwa nechirwere ichi awa yega yega - kana mumwe chete mumasekonzi 105 ega ega. "Zvakaoma kuti tidzidze nhamba idzi," shamwari dzangu dzechidiki dzakapindura zvinyoro-nyoro padzakadzidza nezvehuwandu hunoshamisa hwevanhu veYemeni vanogona kufa nenzara kana chirwere. “Ndapota,” vakabvunza kudaro, “unogona kuwana mumwe munhu watingasvika pakuziva, munhu nomunhu, kupfurikidza nekurukurirano yeskype?” Shamwari mbiri muYemen dzakataura kuti kunyangwe mumaguta makuru, Yemenis ari ega maererano nekutaurirana kwenyika. Mushure mekunge APV yaziva kuti nhaurirano yavakafungidzira inogona kunge isingaite, mazuva mashoma apfuura ndisati ndanzwa kubva kwavari. Ipapo tsamba yakasvika, ichiti pakupera kweRamadan, mwedzi wavanga vachitsanya, vanowanzotora muunganidzwa wekubatsira kugovera zviwanikwa. Vakandikumbira kuti ndiise muunganidzwa wavo, kunyangwe zvingadaro, kune vaviri vanomiririra kodzero dzevanhu muYemeni muNew York avo vakanyanya kana kushomeka ikoko. Vaviri ava veYemeni vanoshamisika kana ndege dzekutengesa kuenda kuSana'a, guta guru reYemen, dzingangotangazve. Iwo maAPV, anonzwisisa zvakanyanya zvazvinoreva kutarisana neramangwana risina chokwadi, rine njodzi, vanoda kuderedza nzara muYemen.
Vanogadza muenzaniso wezvinogona kuitwa, – chii chinofanira kuitwa, pane kuita gadziriro dzinotyisa dzokuvavarira, kukuvadza, kurwadzisa, kufa nenzara uye kuuraya vamwe vanhu. Isu tinofanira, isu pachedu uye pamwe chete, kuita zvese zvatinogona kurambidza US inotsigirwa neSaudi inotungamirwa kurwisa varwi veYemeni, kukurudzira kunyarara kwepfuti dzese, kusimbirira kusimudza blockade, uye nekusimudzira zvine chekuita nerubatsiro.
