On ngeCawe yesibini yenyanga nganye, iqela labachasi bemfazwe baseIreland kunye nabalwela amalungelo oluntu ukubamba imilindo yoqhanqalazo qho ngenyanga kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya esincinci kunxweme oluseNtshona eIreland. Iyintoni injongo? Ukuphelisa ukusetyenziswa komkhosi wase-US kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya sase-Shannon kunye nokunyanzela uxanduva lokuphendula kubaphathi baseIreland kunye neenkokheli zezopolitiko ngokuvumela i-Ireland-ilizwe ekuthiwa "lingathathi hlangothi"-ukuba liququzelele imizamo yemfazwe yaseMelika kuMbindi Mpuma.
Ukuphosa ilitye ukusuka kulwandlekazi lweAtlantiki, isikhululo seenqwelomoya iShannon yindawo encinci kodwa engundoqo yezothutho ukuya entshona nakumazantsi eIreland. Inyani yokuba ibekwe kumgama nje oziikhilomitha ukusuka kumakhaya okuhlala ithetha ukuba ukusetyenziswa kwayo okunempikiswano ngakumbi kukwacaca nangokuvakalayo kumboniso. Ipaki ye-Omni Air International troop carriers park kwiSango elimiselweyo lama-42 ekupheleni kwesakhiwo setheminali. Abahambi baxubana nemikhosi yaseMelika kwiyunifomu ngaphakathi kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya njengoko belinde ukukhwela iinqwelomoya. Iinqwelomoya zomkhosi ezifana nenqwelomoya engwevu iHercules C-130 zikwalula ukuzibona, zipakwe kumgama omfutshane ukusuka kwisakhiwo setheminali kwaye zihlala zilinda neenkcukacha ezivela kumapolisa aseIreland kunye noMkhosi woKhuselo waseIreland.
Kulinganiselwa ukuba malunga ne-2.5 yezigidi Imikhosi yase-US idlule e-Shannon ukususela ngo-2002. Ngoku, njengoko iYurophu izama ukujongana nokuhamba kweembacu ezihamba ngeendlela ezinobuqhophololo ezivela kumazwe aqhekezwe yimfazwe kunye nogonyamelo lwamahlelo, amatshantliziyo avela eShannonwatch, iqela elichasene nemfazwe, kunye nabanye abazimeleyo. Amalungu ePalamente aphikisayo aphinde azama ukuvuselela ingxoxo malunga nokusetyenziswa kwesikhululo seenqwelomoya.
I-Shannonwatch yakhula kuqhanqalazo olukhokelwa ngabaphembeleli ngokuchasene nokusetyenziswa komkhosi wase-US e-Shannon, eyaqala ngo-2001 emva kohlaselo lwe-11 kaSeptemba, xa urhulumente wase-Ireland wanikezela ukusetyenziswa kwesikhululo seenqwelomoya kurhulumente wase-US. Uqhanqalazo luye lwaqhubeka ukususela ngoko, kunye ne-Shannonwatch iqulunqa ngokusemthethweni njengombutho kwi-2008. Iqela ngokwalo lincinci kwaye alisebenzisi isakhiwo sobulungu esisesikweni, kodwa lifumana amandla ngokusebenzisana namanye amaqela, kuquka i-Peace and Neutrality Alliance.
Ngexesha lengxoxo yakutshanje malunga nempendulo kwingxaki yeembacu kwipalamente yaseIreland, iLungu leqela eliphikisayo uMick Wallace kubizwa urhulumente ukwamkela ukuba uququzelela iimfazwe ezikhokelela kwiingxaki zoluntu.
“Iimbacu aziphumi ndawo. Sivumela uShannon ukuba asetyenziselwe umkhosi wase-US ukuba uhambe uye kubhobhoza amakhaya abo kwaye wenze iimbacu…. Siyayiququzelela,” utshilo. "Sivumela iingalo ukuba zidlule eShannon ziye eSaudi Arabia, eziqhubhisa ukukhanya kwemini e-Yemen-kwaye akukho mntu ubonakala enikezela ngenxa yokuba i-US ibandakanyeka."
Umkhamo wengxaki yeembacu ukhwankqise iYurophu, wabonisa ukungavisisani phakathi kwamazwe, waza washiya iinkokeli zopolitiko zigxadazela. Abantu abangaphezu kwe-590,000 baye bawela kwi-European Union ngolwandle ngo-2015 kuphela. Kwiveki ephelileyo, ukuya kuthi ga Izikhephe ezingama-85 zazifika mihla le kwisiqithi saseGrisi iLesbos, ngokutsho kwe-UN High Commissioner for Refugees. Ngobunzima obukhulu, i-EU ikwazile ukuvuma isicwangciso sokwahlula abantu abafuna indawo yokukhosela abangama-160,000 phakathi kwamazwe angamalungu angama-28—kodwa oku akuqali nokulungisa ingxaki efuna impendulo ebanzi kakhulu kumazwe ngamazwe. IJamani iyazabalaza ukufumana iimbacu ezimalunga ne-10,000 ezifika yonke imihla, namagosa alindele ukuba inani labantu abangaphezulu kwesigidi esinye ekupheleni konyaka. Ngokwahlukileyo koko, phantsi koxinzelelo lwezopolitiko nolweendaba, iIreland izibophelele ekuthatheni abantu abangama-1 kwisithuba seminyaka emibini.
Ilungu lesibini eliphikisayo, uClare Daly-owabanjwa kunyaka ophelileyo kunye noWallace ngokuzama ukukhwela kwinqwelomoya yomkhosi wase-US ukuyihlola izixhobo-ezenziwe. izimvo ezifanayo. Kwakhona phakathi kwabo babanjiweyo eShannon kukho umlweli wemfazwe oneminyaka engama-80 ubudala kunye nombhali owaziwayo kunye nombhali wemidlalo uMargaretta D'Arcy. Waye ivalelwe iinyanga ezintathu kunyaka ophelileyo emva kokwala ukutyikitya isivumelwano esithi uya kuhlala ngaphandle kweendawo ezingagunyaziswanga kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya.
Iingenelo kurhulumente waseIreland zimbalwa ngokwentelekiso. Kukho inzuzo encinci yezoqoqosho kwisikhululo seenqwelo-moya-kodwa inzuzo enkulu ibonakala ikwazi ukulungelelanisa ne-United States kunye ne-NATO ngelixa igcina isimo "sokungathathi hlangothi" njengelizwe.
Amajelo eendaba aseIreland aqhelene ne-NATO aye avuma ubukhulu becala ukujongana nengxoxo-mpikiswano ejikeleze iShannon. Iingxelo malunga nomsebenzi womkhosi wase-US kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya aziqhelekanga, kwaye xa zisenzeka, zihlala zingena kwimbali yokubanjwa kwezopolitiko kunye nabaqhankqalazi, kunokuba bawuphonononge ngokunzulu umba wokubandakanyeka kweIreland ekuncedeni iinzame zemfazwe zase-US.
Omnye obegxeka nangona kunjalo, nguTom Clonan, umhlalutyi wezokhuseleko I Irish Times. Ngexesha lokuxoxwa kwetyala likaWallace noDaly, wathi uShannon ngoku phantse isiseko somkhosi wase-US, yaza yathi ukuba isikhululo seenqwelo-moya besisetyenziswa lelo naliphi na elinye iqela ukuququzelela ukutshatyalaliswa nesiphithiphithi esifanayo, iUnited States ngoku ngeyayichonge njengenjongo yalo. Uye waphawula ukuba abemi baseIreland ngoku babonwa "njengeqela elinobutshaba" ngabashicileli bamaSilamsi. Ngelishwa, kukho ubungqina bokuxhasa ibango lakhe. U-Anjem Choudary, umfundisi wamaSilamsi owaziwayo waseBritane, uye waqaqambisa uShannon njengento ekujoliswe kuyo ngokusemthethweni. Uxelele isikhululo sikanomathotholo sase-Ireland ngoJanuwari: "Uvumela abantu baseMelika, abangabona bhularharha bakhulu emhlabeni, ukuba bame kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya iShannon ukuze bafake amafutha kwaye baqhubeke bebulala abantu kumazwe angamaSilamsi."
Kodwa ayikokudluliselwa kwemikhosi kunye nezixhobo kuphela ingxaki yeShannonwatch. Umbutho ubeka iliso ngenkuthalo phantse zonke iinqwelomoya zase-US ezihlala e-Shannon kwaye zinezikrokro ezinzulu-kwaye ezingenasihlahla, zokuba isikhululo seenqwelomoya sisetyenziselwe iinqwelomoya ezingaqhelekanga, ngaphandle kolwazi lukarhulumente okanye abantu baseIreland. Bathi, oku bekuya kwenza iIreland ibe nenxaxheba ekuthuthunjisweni. Kwiminyaka edlulileyo, umbutho uye waqulunqa a uluhlu olubanzi kuzo zonke iinqwelomoya ekurhaneleka ukuba zisetyenziselwa ukunikezela ngenqwelomoya ezithe zahlala eIreland. Iqela likholelwa ukuba inyani yokuba ukongamela e-Shannon kuthambile kuthetha ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba isikhululo seenqwelomoya sisetyenziselwe le njongo. Iintambo zeWikiLeaks zibonakala ziyixhasa le nto, etyhila iinkxalabo ezinzulu ibanjwe ngoorhulumente bangaphambili base-Ireland malunga nokuba iziqinisekiso zaseWashington zinokuthenjwa na.
Njengoko iYurophu izama ukujongana nokuthontelana kweembacu, abaninzi baye bakhawuleza ukwenza iidemon kumazwe aseMpuma Yurophu ngenxa yokungakulungeli ukuthabatha abantu, kodwa impikiswano ebanzi ifanele ibekho—kungekhona nje iimbacu, eziyimpawu zemfazwe, kodwa. malunga nabaququzeleli bemfazwe. Ilizwe ngalinye laseYurophu kufuneka lizibuze imibuzo enzulu nenyanisekileyo malunga nendima elinqwenela ukuyidlala emhlabeni. Akufuneki kuthathe iifoto ezoyikisayo zabantwana abaswelekileyo abafana no-Alan Kurdi ukuba siqale ukubuza ubulumko bemigaqo-nkqubo ebesisoloko siyixhasa ngokuzolileyo.
Kwelo cala, urhulumente waseIreland ugcina ukuba urhulumente akathathi cala kwanokuba amalungiselelo ayo nomkhosi wase-US awaphazamisi eso simo. Isibakala sokuba ukungathabathi cala kweIreland akukhange kufakwe kumgaqo-siseko kuvumela ukungacaci kakuhle.
"Ukuba oku kuyahambelana nomgaqo-nkqubo wethu wemicimbi yangaphandle," utshilo uWallace ngexesha lengxoxo epalamente, "mhlawumbi sifuna owahlukileyo."
