NguMary Hladky, ngoNovemba 13, 2019

Ngomhla woku-1 kwinyanga yeNkanga, kwisiXeko saseKansas, eMo., kwiNkundla kaMasipala, abalweli boxolo abali-15, kwisenzo sokunganyangeki koluntu, bafunyanwa benetyala lokungena kwiKhampasi yoKhuseleko lweSizwe eKansas City, Mo. Iplanti ye-NSC, ese I-14520 Botts Road, kulapho iipesenti ezingama-85 zeendawo ezingezizo ezenyukliya zenziwa okanye zithengelwa izixhobo zenyukliya zase-US.  

Abaphembeleli boxolo, belandela inkolelo yabo enzulu yokuba izixhobo zenyukliya azikho mthethweni, azikho semthethweni, azikho semthethweni, kwaye zisongela bonke ubomi, bawela "umgca wepropathi" kwisityalo emva komhlangano we-PeaceWorks-KC. Abanqamlezi bomgca babanjwa ngoSuku lweSikhumbuzo, umhla wama-27 kuCanzibe, ukwazisa abantu ngeengozi zezixhobo zenyukliya. Abantu abamalunga nama-90 bahlanganisana kuloo ndibano. 

Phambi kwetyala labo le-Nov. 1, abamangalelwa bangenise kwigqwetha labo ingxelo yabo yobuqu, enamandla yokuba kutheni bekhethe ukubandakanyeka kwisenzo sokungathotyelwa koluntu esingenabundlobongela. Ezi nkcazo ziyifestile kwimiphefumlo yabantu abakhokela ngeentliziyo zabo kwaye bafikelele kubantu abasweleyo. Nantsi isampuli yoko kwabhalwa ngabamangalelwa.  

Kukho izigidi zabantu abahluphekayo e-US abangenazo izixhobo ezisisiseko, kwaye amahlwempu aphila ubomi obungenabuntu. … Khawufane ucinge ukuba yintoni enokwenziwa ukuthomalalisa iimfuno zentlalo yabantu abahluphekayo ukuba imali elinganayo ibinokukhutshelwa kude kwizixhobo zenyukliya.

Isizwe sethu sithatha izixhobo zenyukliya zisemthethweni, kodwa ngaba oko kuthetha ukuba zinokuziphatha, zilungile, okanye zilungile? Isixhobo se-omnicidal esinokutshabalalisa ubomi njengoko sisazi eMhlabeni sinokuziphatha? Ukuchitha amawaka ezigidi kwizixhobo zenyukliya kunokuba iibhiliyoni zabantu ziswele izinto eziyimfuneko ebomini? Kwaye kunokuthini ukusongela ngokungakhethiyo bonke abemi basekuhlaleni ngokutshabalala okukhulu kunokuba kulunga?

Ndibe ngumongikazi wabantwana kwisiXeko saseKansas iminyaka engama-45. … Ndifunde ukuba ukusasazeka kwemitha kuchaphazela ngokungafanelekanga abasetyhini, iintsana, iintsana, kunye nabantwana. Ndithethile nabantu kwilizwe liphela abaye bagula okanye basweleke amalungu osapho ngenxa yokuveliswa kunye novavanyo lwezixhobo zenyukliya. Akukho nqanaba likhuselekileyo lokuvezwa kwimitha, kodwa i-US iqhume malunga ne-1,000 yezixhobo zenyukliya kwixa elidlulileyo. Loo mitha ithatha amawaka ezizukulwana. I-Kansas City Plant ikwabhengeze ukuba isebenzise malunga nama-2,400 eekhemikhali eziyityhefu, ezibangela umhlaza kunye nokunye ukufa.  

-Ann Suelentrop, umongikazi wabantwana, umlweli wezixhobo zenyukliya

Esi senzo asizange sithathwe lula kwicala lam kwaye yimpendulo kwiminyaka engaphezu kwe-10 yomthandazo kunye nokuqonda. Ukongeza, andikholelwa ukuba- "ekuweleni umgca" ngenjongo yokuvala ukwehla kokuveliswa kwezixhobo zenyukliya—ndandaphula nawuphi na “umthetho osemthethweni.” Ndikholelwa ukuba ndandisenza ngokuvisisana nenkolelo yam yobuKatolika nenjongo echaziweyo yokukhusela okulungileyo kubo bonke abantu.

Ke ngoko siza kuqonda ukuba mna kunye nabo bakunye nam sinetyala ngokuma kwakho ngokuchasene nokwakhiwa kwezona zixhobo zitshabalalisayo kuyo yonke imbali yoluntu. Ndithi sinjalo hayi.

Bonke abamangalelwa bathi bayawubulela umsebenzi wegqwetha labo, uHenry Stoever, okwangusihlalo wePeaceWorks-KC Board of Directors. Bagqabaza ukuba uHenry ubeke intliziyo yakhe, umphefumlo, kunye nexesha elininzi ekulungiseleleni ityala eliphucukileyo nelicwangcisiweyo. UHenry wayenxibelelana nenkundla ngaphambi kokuxoxwa kwetyala, ecela ukuba ummangalelwa ngamnye avunyelwe ukuba athethe ekuchotshelweni kwetyala. Umgwebi uMartina Peterson uvumile ukuvumela ummangalelwa ngamnye ixesha lokuthetha, ethatha iiyure ezine-ubungqina obuchukumisayo boxolo. Abamangalelwa bacebisa ukuba ukukholelwa kukaHenry kuthumo lwabo kweyisela uMgwebi uPeterson ukuba avumele ubungqina babo kwasekuqaleni!

Qaphela: Ishumi elinesine kwabanqamlezi bemigca abali-15 kulingo bavumile ukudweliswa apha, kunye nabanqamlezi bemigca ababini abasuka eYurophu.

Kwityala le-Nov. 1 kunye nesigwebo se-Nov. 8, uJaji Peterson wakwenza kwacaca ukuba uyayiqonda imbono yamatsha ntliziyo, ababenenjongo yokungena kwenzakaliso kuye nawuphi na umntu okanye impahla. Uthe uyakuncoma ukuzinikela kwabo kwinjongo ephezulu kodwa kufuneka alandele umthetho. Ngoko ke wabagweba abanqamlezi bemigca abali-15 benetyala lokungena ngaphandle kwemvume. Uye wanikezela ngesigwebo esiNxinyiweyo, nto leyo ethetha ukuba abamangalelwa abayi kuba nesigwebo kwirekhodi yabo, ukuba bayayifezekisa yonke imiqathango yesilingo.  

Bonke abamangalelwa abali-15 abasuka kumasipala ombaxa weKansas City babekwa kuvavanyo lonyaka omnye, umntu ngamnye wahlawuliswa i-$168.50. Bonke abamangalelwa kufuneka bahlale kude nesityalo (bangahambi ngaphakathi kwe-2-mile ye-radius yesityalo) unyaka omnye.  

Kwakhona, abamangalelwa baya kufuneka ukuba benze inkonzo yoluntu-ityala lokuqala, iiyure ze-10; ityala lesibini, iiyure ezingama-20; kwaye ityala lesithathu, iiyure ezingama-50. Abathathu babamangalelwa baye baba namatyala amathathu nangaphezulu: uJim Hannah, uGeorgia Walker, noLouis Rodemann.    

Abanqamlezi ababini abavela eNetherlands naseJamani abazange bazimase ityala. Ngoko ke, ijaji yakhupha isigunyaziso sokuba babanjwe.

Abaxhasi abohlukeneyo kweli tyala kunye nesigwebo bavakalise umbulelo ongazenzisiyo kubo bonke abamangalelwa. Abaxhasi bathi bayakubulela ukuzincama kwabanqamlezi kunye nokuzinikezela kuxolo, okulungileyo, kunye nehlabathi elikhuselekileyo kubo bonke abantu kwiindawo zonke.
