Ngaphambi kokuba i-2003 Shock and Awe iqhume ibhombu e-Iraq, iqela labaphembeleli abahlala e-Baghdad liya rhoqo kwiindawo zedolophu ezibaluleke kakhulu ukugcina impilo kunye nokuphila kakuhle e-Baghdad, njengezibhedlele, izixhobo zombane, izityalo zokucoca amanzi kunye nezikolo, kunye neebhanile ezinkulu zevinyl phakathi kwemithi engaphandle kwezi zakhiwo ezifundeka ngolu hlobo: "Ukubhobhoza esi siza kuya kuba lulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe." Sikhuthaze abantu kwizixeko zase-US ukuba benze okufanayo, bezama ukwakha uvelwano kubantu abavaleleke e-Iraq, belindele ibhombu eyoyikekayo yasemoyeni.
Okulusizi kukuba, iibhanile kufuneka ziphinde zilugwebe ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe, ngeli xesha livakalisa isikhalo samazwe ngamazwe kuba kwiyure yokuhlasela kweenqwelo moya kule idlulileyo. uMgqibelo kusasa, i-US ibhobhoze ngokuphindaphindiweyo isibhedlele sikaGqirha Ngaphandle kwemida e-Kunduz, indawo ekhonza idolophu yesihlanu ngobukhulu e-Afghanistan kunye nommandla ojikelezileyo.
Imikhosi yase-US / NATO yenze uhlaselo lomoya malunga 2AM nge-3 ka-Oktobha. Oogqirha abangenazo iMida sele iyazisile i-US, i-NATO kunye nemikhosi yase-Afghan ngolungelelwaniso lwabo lwezelizwe ukuze bacacise ukuba i-compound yabo, ubungakanani bebala lebhola, isibhedlele. Xa iibhombu zokuqala zabetha, abasebenzi bezonyango bafowunela ikomkhulu le-NATO ngokukhawuleza ukuba banike ingxelo ngoqhankqalazo kwiziko layo, kwaye uqhankqalazo lwaqhubeka, kwimizuzu ye-15, de 3: 15 am, kwafa abantu abangama-22. abali-12 kwabafayo yayingabasebenzi bezonyango; ishumi yayizizigulane, kwaye abathathu kwabaguli ngabantwana. Ubuncinci abanye abantu abangama-37 benzakala. Omnye owasindayo wathi icandelo lokuqala lesibhedlele elabethwayo yiYunithi yoNonophelo.
“Izigulana bezivutha kwiibhedi zabo,” watsho omnye umongikazi, owazibonela ngawakhe uhlaselo lwase-ICU.” Akukho mazwi okuba ibimbi kangakanani na. I-airstrikes yase-US iqhubekile, nasemva kokuba amagosa oGqirha ngaphandle kwemida yazise i-US, i-NATO kunye nomkhosi wase-Afghan ukuba iinqwelomoya zihlasela isibhedlele.
Imikhosi yeTaliban ayinawo amandla omoya, kwaye i-Afghan Air Force fleet ingaphantsi kwe-US, ngoko ke kwakucacile ukuba i-US yenze ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe.
Umkhosi waseMelika uthe lo mba uyaphandwa. Ukanti omnye kuthotho olungapheliyo lokungxengxeza; ukuva intlungu yeentsapho kodwa ukuthethelela bonke abenzi bezigqibo ababandakanyekayo kubonakala kungenakuphepheka. Oogqirha Ngaphandle kwemida baye bafuna uphando olucacileyo, oluzimeleyo, oluhlanganiswe ngumbutho osemthethweni wamazwe ngamazwe kwaye ngaphandle kokubandakanyeka ngokuthe ngqo yi-US okanye nayiphi na enye iqela elilwayo kwingxabano yase-Afghan. Ukuba uphando olunjalo lwenzeka, kwaye luyakwazi ukuqinisekisa ukuba oku bekusenziwa ngabom, okanye bulwaphulo-mthetho lokungahoyi ngokubulala, bangaphi abantu baseMelika abaya kuze bafunde ngesi sigwebo?
Ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe lunokuvunywa xa luqhutywa ziintshaba ezisemthethweni zase-US, xa ziluncedo ekuthetheleleni uhlaselo kunye nemizamo yokutshintsha ulawulo.
Olunye uphando oluye lwasilela ukwenziwa yi-US lunokuthi iKunduz isidinga kangakanani esi sibhedlele. I-US inokuphanda iingxelo ze-SIGAR ("I-Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction") ibala "amaziko okhathalelo lwempilo axhaswa ngemali yi-US," ekutyholwa ukuba axhaswa ngemali nge-USAID, engenakufumaneka, iindawo ezityholwa ngokuba yi-189 apho ulungelelwaniso lubonisa ukuba akukho zakhiwo ngaphakathi kwe-400. iinyawo. NgoJuni 25 waboth ileta abayibhala ngokumangalisayo, "Uhlalutyo lokuqala lwe-ofisi yam yedatha ye-USAID kunye nemifanekiso ye-geospatial ibangele ukuba sibuze ukuba ingaba i-USAID inolwazi oluchanekileyo lwendawo ye-510-phantse i-80 yeepesenti-yezibonelelo zezempilo ze-641 ezixhaswa ngemali yinkqubo ye-PCH." Iphawula ukuba izibonelelo ezintandathu ze-Afghan zisePakistan, ezintandathu eTajikstan, kunye nenye kuLwandle lweMeditera.
Ngoku kubonakala ngathi sidale esinye isibhedlele seziporho, esingekho emoyeni ngeli xesha kodwa siphuma kwiindonga zesakhiwo esifuneka ngamandla esisele sitshile, ekuthe kwakhutshwa kuyo imizimba yabasebenzi kunye nezigulana. Kwaye isibhedlele siphulukene noluntu olutyhwatyhwayo, iziporho zolu hlaselo, kwakhona, zingaphaya kwamandla akhe nabani na ukubala. Kodwa kwiveki engaphambi kolu hlaselo, abasebenzi bayo banyange abantu abenzakeleyo abangama-345, abangama-59 kubo bengabantwana.
I-US kudala izibonakalise njengeyona mfazwe yoyikekayo e-Afghanistan, imisela umzekelo wamandla akhohlakeleyo aboyikisa abantu basemaphandleni abazibuza ukuba bangabhenela kubani ukuze bakhuseleke. NgoJulayi ka-2015, iijethi zebhombu zase-US zahlasela indawo yomkhosi wase-Afghan kwiPhondo laseLogar, zabulala amajoni alishumi. IPentagon ithe esi siganeko siza kuba phantsi kophando. Akukho sigqibo sikawonke-wonke sophando sibonakala sikhe sakhutshwa. Akusoloko kukho noxoliso.
Oku yayikukubulala abantu abaninzi, enoba kungenxa yokungakhathali okanye yintiyo. Enye indlela yokujoyina isikhalo esichasene nayo, ungafuni nje ukubuza kodwa isiphelo sokugqibela kulo lonke ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe yase-US e-Afghanistan, iya kuba kukuhlanganisana phambi kwezibonelelo zempilo, izibhedlele okanye iiyunithi zomothuko, ziphethe imiqondiso ethi, "Ukubhobhoza. Le ndawo iya kuba lulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe. ” Mema abasebenzi basesibhedlele ukuba bangenelele kule ndibano, wazise amajelo eendaba asekuhlaleni, kwaye ubambe nophawu olongezelelekileyo oluthi: “Kuyafana Kuyinyaniso eAfghanistan.”
Kufuneka siqinisekise ilungelo lama-Afghan kukhathalelo lwezonyango kunye nokhuseleko. I-US kufuneka inike abaphandi ukufikelela okungathintelekiyo kubenzi bezigqibo kolu hlaselo kwaye bahlawule ukwakha kwakhona isibhedlele kunye nembuyekezo yokubandezeleka okubangelwe kuyo yonke le minyaka ilishumi elinesine yemfazwe kunye nesiphithiphithi esenziwe ngenkohlakalo. Okokugqibela, nangenxa yezizukulwana ezizayo, kufuneka sibubambe ubukhosi bethu abaqhweshileyo kwaye sibenze isizwe esinokuzinqanda ekwenzeni ububi obungamanyala obuyimfazwe.
