Owayesakuba nguMongameli uBarack Obama kutsha nje ubhale kuTwitter ukuba usuku lodubulo lwasesikolweni lolona suku lubi kakhulu kumongameli wakhe. Ewe, ngokuqinisekileyo bekungafanelekanga ukuba ibe lusuku oluhle, kodwa, ngokunzulu, yintoni ifilibuster? Ngaba yayilusuku olubi kuba abantwana babulawa kwaye akazange ayalele ukuba abulawe?

Kubi ngokwaneleyo ukuba nenkqubo yokubulala i-drone, kodwa ngaba kufuneka sihambe kunye nenkohliso yokuba ayikho, okanye ngathi imisiwe? De kule veki, urhulumente waseUnited States wayezimele le data kuninzi lwe-2020 kunye ne-2021 e-Afghanistan, e-Iraq, naseSiriya, ekhokelela abanye ukuba bacinge ukuba ukubetha kwedrone kuyekile. Ngoku ukuba idatha ikhona, sibona ukuncipha kodwa kusekho iibhombu ezinkulu.

Iimfazwe zeDrone aziyiyo le nto siyixelelwayo. Uninzi lwemijukujelwa ethunyelwe kwiidrones ibe yinxalenye yeemfazwe ezibanzi, kwiindawo ezinjengeAfghanistan. Kwezinye iimeko, uninzi logwayimbo lwedrone luye lwanceda ekudaleni iimfazwe ezintsha ezibanzi, kwiindawo ezinjengeYemen. Uninzi lwabantu ekujoliswe kubo abakhethwanga ngokufanelekileyo (nokuba oko kuthetha ntoni na) okanye baphazanyiswe ngempazamo, kodwa endaweni yoko abachongwa kwaphela. Bona i IDayone Papers: “Ebudeni beenyanga ezintlanu zokusebenza, ngokutsho kwamaxwebhu, phantse ama-90 ekhulwini abantu ababulawa kuqhankqalazo lweenqwelo-moya yayingeyiyo eyona njongo imiselweyo.” 'Yabona Ingxelo kaDaniel Hale enkundleni: “Kwezinye iimeko, abantu ababuleweyo abamalunga nesi-9 kwabali-10 ababonakali [Sic]. "

Ukubulawa kunyukile, kunokuba kunciphe okanye kupheliswe, ubunqolobi obuchasene ne-US. Uninzi lwamagosa aphezulu ase-US, rhoqo emva kokuthatha umhlalaphantsi, utshilo ukuba iidrones ezibulalayo zenza iintshaba ezininzi kunokuba zibulala.

The ENew York Times's amanqaku malunga noqhankqalazo lwe-drone eKabul ngo-Agasti (olwabulala abantu abayi-10 kubandakanya abantwana abasixhenxe ngelixa imithombo yeendaba yehlabathi yayigxile e-Afghanistan, iyenza ibali elikhulu) kwaye emva koko malunga no-2019. ibhombu eSiriya zathiwa thaca, njengesiqhelo, njengeziphazamiso. Ngoku iPentagon kwakhona ukusebenzisa ilungelo "ukuphanda" ngokwayo. I Amalungu osapho lwe-Ahmadi ababuleweyo eKabul ngumzekelo wento eyenzekileyo iminyaka, hayi ukuphambuka.

Nabani na oye wanikela ingqalelo kumashumi eminyaka ingxelo, kubandakanywa nokubalwa kwemijukujelwa kunye nemizimba, kufuneka yazi ukuba oko kugubungela kwakulahlekisa. 'Yabona University of Brown, Airwars, olu hlahlelo nguNicolas Davies, kwaye oku inqaku elitsha nguNorman Solomon. Ngapha koko, i Maxesha kulandele a umbiko kumfanekiso waseSiriya, kwaza kwalandela ngobubanzi umbiko kwisenzo somkhosi waseMelika sokujongela phantsi inani labantu ababuleweyo.

Ngelixa imijukujelwa emininzi ingathunyelwanga kwiidrones, zininzi, kwaye ubukho beedrones benza ukubulala ngokungakhathali kube lula ukuthengisa kuluntu lwase-US. Iintsomi ezenziwe ngoncedo lweHollywood zicebisa ukuba iidrones zithintelo lolwaphulo-mthetho, kunokuba zikhomishini yolwaphulo-mthetho, izixhobo. Iingcamango malunga nokuchonga iithagethi, ukungabi nandlela yokubamba, kunye nokwazi ukuba baza kubulala abantu abaninzi ngemizuzu nje embalwa ukuba abavuthelwanga ngamasuntswana avulekileyo. avunywa ukuba zibe yintelekelelo ngabadali bazo.

Abanye kumkhosi wase-US bangathanda ukuqalisa ukusebenzisa iidrones eziqalisa imijukujelwa ngaphandle kokubandakanyeka komntu, kodwa kuyo yomibini imilinganiselo yokuziphatha kunye nepropaganda sele sikhona: imiyalelo yomlilo ithotyelwa ngokungenangqondo (nantsi yokuzonwabisa owayesakuba “ngumqhubi wenqwelo-moya” uBrandon Bryant ebalisa ngokubulala umntwana), kwaye xa umkhosi unyanzelwa ukuba “uziphande” ngokwawo, njengogwayimbo lwaseKabul, ugqiba kwelokuba akukho mntu unetyala. IPentagon yenziwe amabango obuxoki malunga nogwayimbo lwaseKabul - nokuba luyibiza "lungisa” - de kube semva kwe ENew York Times umbiko, emva koko "iphande" ngokwayo kwaye fu maneka bonke ababandakanyekileyo bamsulwa. Sikude kakhulu ekuzilawuleni ekuhleni, kangangokuba ukubanakho ukwenza iividiyo zedrone esidlangalaleni kunye nokusivumela ukuba senze olwethu "uphando" kubo akuphakanyiswanga.

Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, abantu abayi-113,000 batyikitye le sikhalazo:

“Thina, le mibutho kunye nabantu ngabanye, siyabongoza

• Umongameli uJoe Biden ukuba ayeke ukusetyenziswa kweedrones ezinezixhobo, kwaye ashiye inkqubo 'yoluhlu lokubulala' nokuba bubuchwephesha obusetyenzisiweyo;
• iiNkokeli eziBanzi kunye neziBalulekileyo zeNdlu ye-US kunye neSenethi, ukuvala ukusetyenziswa okanye ukuthengiswa kweedrones ezinezixhobo;
