Xa ndandikwishumi elivisayo ndandihleka nje kwiindaba zeendaba zikaHitler kunye nabanye oontamnani. Ndiyathemba ukuba kwenzeke ntoni emva koko akubonakali kuphinda kubonwe isizukulwana sabazukulwana bam
Ngu-Harry Leslie Smith, u-94, umlo wehlabathi wesibini wemfazwe ye-RAF,
Agasti 15, 2017, Guardian.
A Imini yokukhumbula indifikele kule nyanga ka-Agasti. Kuvakala ngathi umoya ovuthuzayo wehlobo le-2017 usasazwa ngumoya wemfazwe uvuthuza usiya kwilizwe lethu usiya eBritane, kanye njengoko babekwi1939.
Kumbindi Mpuma, Saudi Arabia ikhuphe i-Yemen ngoxinzelelo olufana nolukaMusolini ku-Ethiopia xa ndandisengumntwana kwi-1935. Uhanahaniso worhulumente waseBritani kunye nabantu abakuluhlu oluqinisekisa ukuba igazi elimsulwa liyaqhubeka ukuphuma eSyria, eIraq nase-Afghanistan. Urhulumente ka-Theresa May unyanzelisa ukuba uxolo lungafezekiswa kuphela ngokwanda kwezixhobo zemfazwe kwimimandla yeengxabano. Venezuwela iitayile zisiya engxakini kwaye ungenelelo lwangaphandle ngelixa bakwiiPhilippines, uRodrigo Duterte - okhuselwe ngumfelandawonye wakhe ne-Bhritane ne-US - ubulala abasesichengeni ngenxa yolwaphulo-mthetho lokuzama ukubaleka indlala yabo ngenxa yokusebenzisa iziyobisi.
Kuba ndimdala, ngoku yi-94, ndiyaziqonda ezi zinto zibalulekileyo zentshabalalo. Iimpawu ezihlisayo zikhona kuyo yonke indawo, mhlawumbi eyona inkulu i-US ivumela ukuba ikhokelwe yiyo uDonald Trump, Indoda engenasiphako imbeko, Ubulumko kunye nesidima sobuntu nje. Kuyinto yobudenge kubantu baseMelika ukukholelwa ukuba iinjengele zabo ziya kubasindisa ku-Trump njengoko bekusenzelwa amaJamani anenkululeko ukuba akholelwe ukuba umkhosi uya kukhusela isizwe kwizigqubuthelo zikaHitler.
IBritane nayo ayinayo into yokuziqhayisa. Ukusukela kwimfazwe yase-Iraq ilizwe lethu belisehla ngokuncipha, njengoko oorhulumente belandelelana beyitshabalalisile idemokhrasi kunye nobulungisa bezentlalo, kwaye bayihambisa imeko yezentlalontle ngokuzonwabisa, besikhokelela kumngcelele weBrexit. NjengoTrump, uBrexit akanakungatshazwa yi-sanctimony yenkululeko - inokutshintshwa kuphela ukuba imodeli yezoqoqosho ezizimeleyo ichithwe, ngokungathi ngumfanekiso wobuzwilakhe, ngabantu abakhululweyo.
Emva kweminyaka yolawulo luka-Tory, iBritane ayikulungelanga ukutshintsha ikhondo leembali lilungile kunokuba sasiphantsi kukaNeville Chamberlain, xa ubuNazi babhenciswa kwii-1930s. Ngapha koko, akukho sizwe eYurophu okanye eMntla Melika esinayo nantoni na. Ngamnye ugcwele ukungalingani, ukuthintela okukhulu kwirhafu - nto leyo isemthethweni urhwaphilizo- kunye neoliberalism eye yatshabalalisa uluntu.
Ihlobo lifanele libe yintuthuzelo kodwa ayikulo nyaka. Ndijonge abaselula namhlanje, xa ndibabukele kulonwabo lwabo; Ndibamba uloyiko olufana nobuso babaselula kwisizukulwana sam ngehlobo le1939. Xa ndilapha edolophini, ndimamele ukuhleka kwabo, ndibabukele besonwabile okanye bewolana, kwaye ndiyaboyika.
Lo ka-Agasti ufana kakhulu ne-1939; Ihlobo lokugqibela loxolo kude kube yi-1945. Ke i-16 eyalupheleyo kwaye isemanzi emva kweendlebe, ndingaya kwimifanekiso kunye namaqabane am kwaye sihleka kwiindaba zeHitler kunye nezinye izilo ezithandekayo ezaziphila ngaphaya koko sicinga ukuba kukufikelela kwethu. Asazi ukuba ngo-Agasti u-1939, ubomi ngaphandle koxolo, ngaphandle kwengozi, ngaphandle kokuhlaselwa komoya, ngaphandle kwe-blitz, kungalinganiswa ngeentsuku. Khange ndiyive indlela yokuduma kwemfazwe, kodwa njengexhego ndiyayiva ngoku kwisizukulwana sabazukulwana bam. Ndiyathemba ukuba ndiyaphambana. Kodwa ndikholisiwe ngabo.
