I-CANADA - Amatshantliziyo kulo lonke elaseKhanada aphawula isikhumbuzo sesithathu sokubulawa kwebhasi yesikolo saseYemen ngoMvulo ngoqhanqalazo lwabavelisi bezixhobo nakwiiofisi zikarhulumente, becela iCanada ukuba imise konke ukuthunyelwa kwezixhobo eSaudi Arabia. Ibhombu yaseSaudi yebhasi yesikolo kwimakethi enabantu abaninzi kumantla e-Yemen ngo-Agasti 9, 2018 yabulala abantwana be-44 kunye nabantu abadala abalishumi kwaye yenzakalisa abaninzi ngakumbi.
ENova Scotia amatshantliziyo aqhankqalaza ngaphandle kwendawo yaseLockheed Martin eDartmouth. Ibhombu esetyenziswe kwibala lomdlalo webhasi yesikolo sase-Yemeni yenziwa ngumenzi wezixhobo uLokheed Martin. I-Lockheed Martin Canada yinkampani ephethwe ngokupheleleyo yinkampani yase-US Lockheed Martin.

“Kwiminyaka emithathu edlulileyo namhlanje ibhasi yonke yesikolo yabantwana yaxhelwa ngebhombu yeLokheed Martin yeeponti ezingama-500. Ndilapha kwiziko likaLokheed Martin namhlanje ndinomntwana wam omncinci, olingana nabaninzi kubantwana abakuloo bhasi, ukuza kuphendula le nkampani ngokusweleka kwaba bantwana bangama-44 kwaye ndiqinisekise ukuba abalibaleki, ”utshilo uRachel Small World BEYOND War.
ELondon, amatshantliziyo e-Ontario atyabeka itreyini ebomvu ekhokelela kwikhaya likaDanny Deep, uMongameli weGeneral Dynamics Land Systems, inkampani yaseLondon evelisa izithuthi ezilula zokulwa (i-LAVs) zoBukumkani baseSaudi Arabia. Iitrayi zikwapeyintiwe kwiiofisi zamalungu ePalamente asekuhlaleni uPeter Fragiskatos (iZiko loMntla weLondon) kunye noKate Young (London West). Abantu boxolo eLondon kunye nabasebenzi ngokuchasene neArms Trade bacele ukuguqulwa kwemizi-mveliso yemfazwe njengeziko le-GDLS eLondon kwimveliso eluhlaza ukuze kugcinwe imisebenzi elungileyo ejongene neemfuno zabantu kunokuba ikhuthaze imfazwe.
Kwiveki ephelileyo, kutyhilwe ukuba urhulumente waseCanada uvumile isivumelwano esitsha sokuthengisa iziqhushumbisi ezixabisa i-74 yezigidi zeedola eSaudi Arabia ngo-2020. Ukusukela oko kwaqala ubhubhane, iCanada ithumele ngaphezulu kwe-1.2 yezigidi zeedola eSaudi Arabia. Kwi-2019, iCanada yathumela ngaphandle iingalo ezixabisa i-2.8 yezigidigidi e-Kingdom - ngaphezulu kwama-77 amaxesha exabiso ledola laseCanada e-Yemen kwakuloo nyaka. Ukuthunyelwa kwezixhobo eSaudi Arabia ngoku kungaphezulu kwe-75% yamazwe angaphandle angaphandle komkhosi wase-Canada wase-Canada.
E-Vancouver, amalungu oluntu lwase-Yemeni kunye namahlakani ahlanganisana kwi-ofisi yoMphathiswa Wezokhuseleko uHarjit Sajjan. Ukugqugquzela ngokuchasene neMfazwe kunye nokuSebenza (i-MAWO), i-Yemeni Community Association yaseCanada kunye noMlilo eli xesha lokuHamba kwezoBulungisa bezeNtlalontle bacwangcise i-rally efuna ukuba kuphele ukuthengiswa kweCanada kwezixhobo ezibulalayo kumdibaniso okhokelwa yi-Saudi. Abantu abadlulayo baqwalasele iitanki ezibomvu ezihamba kwindlela esecaleni komnyango ukuya eofisini yoMphathiswa Wezomkhosi uSajjan, kunye neebhanile nemiqondiso efuna ukupheliswa kwenkxaso yaseKhanada yolwaphulo mthetho lwemfazwe yaseSaudi e-Yemen.
"Namhlanje sikhumbula abantwana abangaphezu kwama-40 kunye nabantu abadala abali-11 ababulawa yindiza yaseSaudi kwibhasi yabo yesikolo, kwiminyaka emithathu edlulileyo ngo-Agasti 9, 2018," utshilo u-Azza Rojbi, itshantliziyo laseTunisia, umbhali kunye nelungu elilawulayo leMobilization Against War & Occupation (MAWO). "Asimele silibale ukuba ibhombu ekhokelwa yi-laser eyabulala aba bantwana yenziwa e-United States, kwaye izixhobo eziqhubeka nokubulala abantu base-Yemeni yonke imihla zithengiswa yi-Canada kunye ne-US kumdibaniso okhokelwa yi-Saudi Arabia."
Kwindawo zase-St. Catharines amalungu oluntu abambelela kunqunyulwa abantwana kwilungu lePalamente uChris Bittle emnyango ukumela umntwana ngamnye wabulawa kwibhombu yesikolo.
Ngoku kungunyaka wesithandathu, umlo okhokelwa yi-Saudi Arabia e-Yemen ubulele phantse ikota yesigidi, ngokwe-Ofisi ye-UN yoLungelelaniso lweMicimbi yoLuntu. Ikwakhokelwe koko umzimba weZizwe eziManyeneyo ukubize ngokuba "yeyona ngxaki imanyumnyezi yoluntu."
“Umntwana waseYemen uzakufa rhoqo kwimizuzwana engama-75 kulo nyaka ngenxa yemfazwe eqhubekayo, ngokweNkqubo yokutya yeHlabathi. Njengomzali, andinakuma nje ndize ndivumele iCanada iqhubeke nokufumana inzuzo ngale mfazwe ngokuthengisa izixhobo eSaudi Arabia, utshilo uSakura Saunders, ilungu lebhodi World BEYOND War. "Kuyacekiseka ukuba iKhanada iyaqhubeka nokukhuthaza imfazwe ekhokelele kweyona ngxaki inkulu kuluntu kunye nabantu abanzima e-Yemen."
Ukuwa kokugqibela, iCanada yayiqala ukubizwa esidlangalaleni njengelinye lamazwe anceda ekuvuseleleni imfazwe e-Yemen yiphaneli yeengcali ezizimeleyo ezibeka iliso kungquzulwano lwe-UN kunye nokuphanda ulwaphulo-mthetho olunokwenzeka kwimfazwe, kubandakanya ne-Saudi Arabia.
“Ukuze uTrudeau angene kolu lonyulo esithi uqhuba 'umgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle wobufazi' yinto engekho ngqiqweni ngokunikezela ngokuzimisela okungagungqiyo kulo rhulumente ekuthumeleni izixhobo ezixabisa amawaka ezigidi zeedola eSaudia Arabia, ilizwe elidume ngokurekhodwa kwamalungelo oluntu kunye noxinzelelo lwenkqubo abafazi. Isivumelwano seengalo zaseSaudi sichasene ngqo nenkqubo yobufazi kumgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle, utshilo uJoan Smith ovela eNova Scotia Voice of Women for Peace.
Ngaphezulu kwezigidi ezi-4 zabantu abaye bafuduswa ngenxa yemfazwe, kwaye i-80% yabemi, kubandakanya i-12.2 yezigidi zabantwana, bakudinga kakhulu uncedo lwabantu. Olu ncedo lunye luye lwathintelwa ngumhlaba wobumbano okhokelwa yi-Saudi Arabia, umoya, kunye nokuvalwa komkhosi welizwe. Ukusukela ngo-2015, olu thintelo luthintele ukutya, ipetroli, izinto zorhwebo kunye noncedo lokungena eYemen.

I mpendulo
Kukhulu ukubona amanyathelo athathwe eCanada ngokuchasene noLokheed Martin kunye neminye imibutho yezentengiselwano (i-TNCs) egxile ekufeni nasekutshatyalalisweni. Apha e-Aotearoa / NZ sibonile ukunikwa ingqalelo kweendaba kwiinkampani ezithile ze-NZ ezinje nge-Air NZ ebisoloko inika inkxaso yezomkhosi eSaudis ekubethelelweni emnqamlezweni kweYemen.
Kodwa kuye kwakho ukuthula okungathethekiyo kuxanduva lwama-Anglo-American axis kule mfazwe. Kwaye ayisiyiyo kuphela le mithombo yeendaba yendawo ukuba ikhethe kakhulu kodwa ii-TNC ezinje ngeLokheed Martin zazingakhange zichaphazeleke.
U-Lockheed Martin eneneni ubukho apha, esebenzela umkhosi wethu. Ngutyalomali ophambili kwiLebhu yaseRocket esekwe e-US, eyinxalenye yento ebizwa ngokuba yiAmerican Space Force.
Ngoku kukho iphulo elikhulayo lokulwa neRocket Rock kwiNZ yomhlaba. Ngokuqinisekileyo simi kunye kubumbano ngokuchasene nokushushubeza kunye nokuqaqadeka okwenziwa kwihlabathi liphela.
