Varume makumi matatu vafa kubva pavakaburitswa nekuburitswa mutirongo reGuantanamo. Vakafa nei? Vaivepi? Pane anoziva here? Isu muno muUS takatarisira here? Vakanga vasiri “vakaipisisa vevakaipisisa” vakaronga 9/11 here?
Hurumende yedu, kuburikidza nehutungamiriri ina, ingangoita kuti tikanganwe varume ava, uye tikanganwe varume makumi matatu nevashanu vechiMuslim vachiri vega pasi pehusungwa kuGuantanamo. Vangaite kuti tikanganwe zvinhu zvakawanda nezveGuantanamo izvo zvaizoratidza hutsinye uye hwunotonhora mutemo wekusvibisa vanhu kuitira kutsigira Hondo Yekutya.
Ndakanga ndichangobva muWashington, DC senhengo yeChapupu Chinopesana Nekurwadziswa kupikisa kupemberera kwegore re21 kuvhurwa kweGuantanamo, uye ndine mimwe mibvunzo.
Tinoda Hondo yeKutyisa here? Vazhinji vedu takafunga kudaro, kupindura 9/11, kuchengetedza United States. Asi, yaifanira kuva hondo yehondo here? Yaifanira kunanga varume vechiMuslim here? Yaifanira kubatidza yakavanzika Islamophobia? Mibvunzo yakawanda kwazvo. Saka mhinduro dzechokwadi shoma. Asi tine zvimwe zvatiinazvo.
Jeri reGuantanamo, kunze kwemiganhu yeUnited States, pachitsuwa cheCuba, rakagamuchira vasungwa varo vokutanga musi waNdira 11, 2002. Kubva ipapo, varume nevakomana vechiMuslim 779 vakasungwa imomo, vanenge vose vasina kupomerwa mhosva kana kutongwa nokuda kwemhosva. vose vakasunungurwa pashure pemakore okuvharirwa zvokuti kwasara 35 chete. Saka chokwadi avo 35 vane mhosva yechimwe chinhu. Asi kwete. Makumi maviri avo akabvumidzwawo kuburitswa, kubva muna Kukadzi 2021, vachiri vakavharirwa - vakamirira.
Kucheneswa kusunungurwa kunoreva kuti imwe nyika yechitatu inofanirwa kuvabvisa pamaoko edu, nekuti isu, takavashungurudza kusvika kumakore makumi maviri, tinoramba kuvatora, necongression order. Nepo US ichikumbira nekupa chiokomuhomwe kune dzimwe nyika kuti dzigamuchire varume ava, varume vanogara muzvitokisi zvavo vakamirira, nokudaro vachirebesa marwadzo ekusaziva kana rusununguko ruchauya kana rinhi.
Asi, rusununguko haruna kubvumikisa kuva rwakasununguka. Kunze kwevane 30 vadudzwa vakafa kubvira pavakasunungurwa, vamwe mazana vanobatwa vari murima, vasina pasipoti, vasina basa, vasina kurapwa kana inishuwarenzi, uye vasina kubatanidzwazve nemhuri dzavo! Vamwe vari munyika dzavasingagoni kutaura mutauro wacho; vamwe vanorambwa sevaimbova Gitmo, sekunge ivo aiva akapara mhosva.
Chii chatinacho kuvarume ava? - nokuti ivo varume, vanhu sesu, vakafanirwa nekuremekedzwa nekuchengetwa. (Isu takatambudza vamwe vavo, nenzira dzinosemesa, asi chokwadi ichocho zvakare chakavigwa muSeneti yakavanzika "Torture Report"). Kana iwe uchifunga kuti tine chikwereti kwavari chekugadzirisa zviratidzo, unogona kubatsira kuburikidza neGuantanamo Survivors Fund. (www.nogitmos.org)
Kubuditsa pachena: Gumi pavarume makumi matatu nevashanu vepaGuantanamo nhasi vapomerwa mhosva, asi kureurura kwavo kwakawanikwa vachitambudzwa uye nokudaro vachibvunzurudzwa. Varume vaviri vatongwa ndokubatwa nemhosva. Sezvineiwo, uyo anonzi, anozviti mastermind pakurwiswa kwa35/9, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, nevamwe vake vana, vese kuGuantanamo vari muhusungwa sevamwe, havana kutongwa. Izvi zvinotaridzika sehurongwa hwekutonga hunoshanda here? Iyi ndiyo nzira yekushandisa nayo pfuma yedu, nemutengo we $11 miriyoni pamusungwa pagore?
Ngatisakanganwa Guantanamo, asi panzvimbo pezvo shanda kuibvisa. Icho chikamu chezvisirizvo, zvechisimba, uye zvehutsinye mutemo wehurumende yedu. Ibasa redu. Ngatigadzire masisitimu ane hutano anosanganisirwa uye akavakirwa pakururamisira kune vese. Guantanamo haisi iyo.
