INova Scotia Voice of Women for Peace ibambe umsitho wabo wonyaka we-White Peace Poppy onesihloko esithi “I-Halifax ikhumbula uXolo: Kjipuktuk 2021”. UJoan waqala ngokuvuma umhlaba kwaye wathetha ngonxibelelwano lokukhumbula onke amaxhoba emfazwe kwiincoko kunye nelungu leVeterans for Peace elivela eScotland kwiwebhu yamva nje. URana wathetha ngabafazi base-Afghan kwaye wabeka isithsaba egameni labo. Ezinye izithsaba ezimbini - enye yazo zonke amaxhoba e-PTSD, iimbacu kunye nokutshatyalaliswa kwendalo kunye nenye yaBantwana bexesha elizayo. U-Annie Verrall wenze ifilimu yomsitho kwaye uza kudibanisa le filimu kunye neseshini yethu yamva nje kunye neseshini yomntu yokuthunga kwiNdlu yeBhunga leNdawo yabasetyhini.
Sahlanganisana kwiPaki yoXolo noBuhlobo saza saxhoma ibhanile ekukhanyeni kwelanga phakathi komthi nesibane, kude kufuphi neqonga elalinomfanekiso oqingqiweyo owawusakuba ngumfanekiso, ogqunywe ngamatye amancinane apeyintwe eorenji. Le ndawo yayiyindawo enamandla ye-NSVOW ukuzisa ibhana kunye nokuma kunye nokwabelana ngoluntu lokuqala lwalo msebenzi - umsebenzi wabasetyhini abaninzi baseNova Scotia kunye ne-Beyond. Yindawo enamandla ngenxa yokuba utshintsho lwenzekile apha, kuba i-decolonization ibonakala kancinci kwaye ngenxa yawo onke amatye amancinci e-orenji ahlala esibiza.
Sazisa amabali abanye abantwana, ngemimoya yabo. Amagama abantwana abangama-38 baseYemen ahonjiswe ngesiArabhu nangesiNgesi. Ngo-Agasti ka-2018, eYemen, abantwana abangama-38 kunye nootitshala babulawa kwaye abaninzi benzakala kuhambo lwesikolo. Ibhombu eyantlitha ibhasi yesikolo yabo nayo yayinegama – inguqulelo ekhokelwa ngelaser yebhombu yeMk-82 yayiyiLockheed Martin Bomb.
Amagama aba bantwana aphakama ngaphezu kweenqwelo-moya zokulwa, kumaphiko kanina wehobe loxolo kunye nentombi yakhe, omabini ehlokoma phezu kwentshabalalo eqhubeka iyinisa iibhombu, imfazwe nemfazwe kwintsapho yoluntu. Ngaphakathi kwamahobe kukho izikwere ezenziwe ngezandla kwisimbo esaziwa ngokuba 'kukulungisa okubonakalayo' okubamba ibhanile kunye, ukuyila ilahleko kunye nethemba.
Ibhena yayinesihloko esithi “Iziqhushumbisi zamaqhina- Ukuqhekeza Uxolo Ndawonye” kwaye yaqala, njengoko kusetyenzwa ngabantu abaninzi, kwiti nakwincoko, ngaphandle kokuba kwenzeke 'kwindawo ebonakalayo'. UFatima, uSandy, uBrenda, uJoan kunye nam ndacinga malunga neentsapho kunye nemiphumo yemfazwe - i-trauma kunye ne-PTSD yeentsapho ezilahlekelwe ngabathandekayo - ngokuphindaphindiweyo kumacala omabini ezixhobo, kodwa zingakhunjulwa ngokulinganayo kwaye zibalwe. Sathetha ngesikhumbuzo, indlela ukuqhubela phambili akunakwenzeka, kwaye indlela ukulibala iba ngumaleko welahleko kunye nentlungu engenakwabelwana ngayo. Inkxalabo yethu yokunyuka okungapheliyo kwenkcitho yezixhobo zomkhosi, kubandakanywa nezivumelwano zezixhobo kwi-Saudi Arabia kunye neeofisi ze-Lockheed Martin e-Dartmouth zihlala zijikeleza kuxanduva lwethu lokuthatha amanyathelo kunye nokubandakanya icala lomntu malunga nokuba urhwebo lwezixhobo lubukeka njani. Lithini ixabiso lokwenyani lenkcitho yasemkhosini?
Mandabelane ngamazwi abantwana ababini ababesemarikeni ngaloo mini ka-Agasti.
Inkwenkwe eneminyaka eli-16 ubudala esebenza kwindawo yokucheba engaphaya kwendlela esuka ebhasini yaxelela iHuman Rights Watch ngomnxeba ikwibhedi yayo yasesibhedlele ukuba ukudubula “kwakufana nokudanyaza kwesibane, kulandelwa luthuli nobumnyama.” Wenzakala kuhlaselo ngamaqhekeza entsimbi kumqolo wakhe ongezantsi kwaye wathi akanakushukuma engancediswanga okanye ahambe aye kwigumbi lokuhlambela.
Inkwenkwe eneshumi elinesithathu leminyaka ubudala ebikhwele ebhasini nayo esibhedlele ithi inenxeba elibuhlungu emlenzeni kwaye inethemba lokuba umlenze wayo awuzunqunyulwa. Uninzi lwabahlobo bakhe babulawa.
Saqala ibhanile ngokuqhagamshelana no-Aisha Jumaan we-Yemeni Relief and Reconstruction Foundation kunye nomlweli woxolo u-extraordinaire uKathy Kelly kwaye sakhuthazwa ukuba siqhubeke neprojekthi. UAisha ebenxibelelana neentsapho zaseYemen.
Izikwere zemida ye-48+, iintsiba ezinkulu ezingama-39 kunye neentsiba ezincinci ezingaphezulu kwe-30 zithungwe ngamalungu oluntu avela kumaqela amaninzi aquka iNova Scotia Voice of Women for Peace, iHalifax Raging Grannies, iQela leSifundo samaSilamsi, iMmigrant kunye neMigrant Women's Association yaseHalifax, Iqela lokufunda leNgxelo ye-MMIWG, iiNdawo eziliwaka zeZen Sangha, oonongendi bamaBhuda kunye namanye amaqela enkolo, amalungu eBhodi yeSizwe yeVoice of Women for Peace kunye nabahlobo ukusuka elwandle ukuya elwandle ukuya elwandle. Ngamnye kwaba bafazi ngokulinganayo ngumzobi othatha inxaxheba kwaye uBrenda Holoboff wayengumgcini webhanile kunye nesitshixo esizinikeleyo ekugqityweni!
Abasetyhini abathathe inxaxheba baye badibana ku-zoom kwaye iingxoxo zethu zibandakanya usizi kunye nendlela yokuzisa esi sibhengezo kwiincoko ukugxininisa isidingo sethu sotshintsho kwindlela esijongana ngayo nengxabano. UMargaret ucebise ukuba sithumele ibhanile eYemen emva kokwabelana ngayo ekuhlaleni. UMaria Jose noJoan bakhankanye ukubonisa ibhanile eyunivesithi okanye kwithala leencwadi. Ndiyathemba ukuba singadibana namanina eMasjid apha sithethe ngalo msebenzi. Mhlawumbi uhambo luya kuba kwilizwe lonke ukuya kumathala eencwadi kunye neendawo zoluntu ekwabelwana ngazo apho iincoko ziya kucela umngeni kwingcamango 'yokukhusela.' Ukuba kukho nabani na ozimisele ukunceda kule meko ndicela undazise.
Kufuneka senze iinkqubo ezingcono zokhathalelo omnye komnye. Siyadingana kwaye le bhanile yadibana ngaphandle kwemiqobo yexesha kunye nendawo.
Zonke iintsiba kunye nezikwere zathungwa kwaye zabelwana ngeposi okanye zawiswa kwaye zacholwa kwiibhokisi zeposi ngexesha lokuphakama kobhubhane. Sonke sasiziva sikheswa kwaye sasixhalabile kwaye sikhumbula usapho kunye nabahlobo. UJoan noBrenda baye baba yintsika emva komsebenzi - ukudala i-backing, ukuthunga njengoko iziqwenga zingena kwaye zinikezela ngobuchule babo bokudala. Umbulelo uya kubo bonke abathathi-nxaxheba - abafazi base-BC, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario Yukon, USA, Newfoundland, Maritimes, naseGuatemala. Oomama bethunga kunye neentombi, abahlobo bakudala bathi ewe kwiprojekthi kunye nabahlobo abanokuthi bangakhange bathunge ngokuthe ngqo kwibhena bahlangane ukuze igqitywe.
Kodwa ndifuna ukukhankanya ngokukodwa ukuba xa mna noFatima sasithetha nge-calligraphy yesiArabhu yeentsiba, waphendula ngokukhawuleza ukuba akuyi kuba yingxaki kwaphela kwaye kwiintsuku ezi-3 amagama abantu abangama-38 ayekwibhokisi yam yeposi elungele ukudluliselwa ilaphu. Iqela lokufunda labasetyhini abangamaSilamsi labelana ngamabali abo ngokusondeza kwiintlanganiso zethu ezicwangcisiweyo kwaye olo nxibelelwano lwentliziyo luyaqhubeka ukuba bubutyebi obufihliweyo balo msebenzi. Njengezikwere ngokwazo – abafazi abaninzi babesebenzisa ilaphu elinentsingiselo ekhethekileyo – amalaphu asuka kwiingubo zabantwana, iilokhwe zokubeleka, iimpahla zikamama noosisi – nditsho neyunifomu yokukhokela abantwana abangamantombazana. Zonke ezi zijikeleze amagama-amagama anikwa iintsana ezigcinwe ezingalweni zoomama - Ahmed, Mohammad, Ali Hussein, Youseef, Hussein ...
Ukukhumbula bonke abaye babandezeleka kunye nokukhumbuza abo baphila ngekrele kufuneka bathobele amazwi kaToni Morrison athi "Ugonyamelo oluchasene nogonyamelo- nokuba luyintoni na okulungileyo nokubi, okulungileyo nokubi - lungcolile kangangokuba ikrele lempindezelo liwa ngokudinwa. okanye iintloni.” Ukusweleka kwaba bantwana kulihlazo, kulusizi, kusithunzi kuthi sonke.
Le projekthi yaqala ngoJanuwari ka-2021. NgoJuni iiflegi zathotywa kwaye ikhwelo lokufumana zonke iindawo zamangcwaba eMveli ezingaphawulwanga kunye nokunika abantwana ukuvalwa ngokufanelekileyo kulandela ukufunyanwa kwemizimba yokuqala ye-215 yabantwana eKamloops. Amalungu eqela lokufunda ngeveki ingxelo ye-MMIWG baye bathunga iintliziyo ezininzi ngeenyawo eziye zathungwa kwisigqubuthelo esiza kubamba ibhana xa ingabonakali.
Mandikushiye nale ngcinga.
Ndiyakholwa ukuba siyazi into malunga nokulungisa. Esi sikhumbuzo sikhwelo lokulungisa umonakalo owenziweyo kwaye nokuba asiqinisekanga ngendlela yokulungisa umonakalo, senza oko sinako apho sinako. Ukulungiswa kunye noxolelwaniso ngumsebenzi wokulungisa.
Kutshanje, bekukho intetho ye-Intanethi enikezelweyo eyisandulela kwinkomfa enkulu yenkomfa ye-2023 yeeYunivesithi eziFundisa ubukhoboka, kwaye kwintetho yakhe eqaqambileyo, uMhlekazi uHilary Beckles ubonisa ukuba intetho yokutshintsha kwemozulu kunye nentetho yokubuyisela ingamacala amabini afanayo. ingqekembe. Omabini kufuneka atyhalele uluntu 'kwinqanaba eliphezulu lomsebenzi walo ophucukileyo' njengesibaso esiyimfuneko senguqu kunye nokuba nokwenzeka kolu tshintsho lwenkqubo - utshintsho olunemfezeko alunakufikelelwa ngaphandle kwembuyekezo.
Ukuba asikwazi ukulungisa okudlulileyo asinakukwazi ukulungiselela ikamva.
