U-Ed Horgan kunye noDan Dowling's babenexesha elide belinde ityala lokungena kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya sase-Shannon kunye nokupeyinta igrafiti - INGOZI ENGAKUMBI UNGABHAYI kwinqwelomoya yomkhosi waseMelika. Yiminyaka engaphezu kwemihlanu ukususela kwi-25th Ngo-Epreli 2017 xa u-Ed noDan babanjwa kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseShannon.
Ngelo xesha uEd catshulwa njengoko bechaza ukuba izenzo zabo "ziyinxalenye yoqhanqalazo olunolwazi - ukwazisa abantu ukuba sibandakanyeka, kwaye i-gardaí [amapolisa ase-Ireland] awakhangeli inqwelomoya yomkhosi wase-US kwaye kufuneka benjenjalo. Abawenzi umsebenzi wabo, kwaye njengommi ndiziva ndinyanzelekile ukubanceda bakwenze oku.”
Xa uEd wabanjwa wanika i-gardaí uluhlu lwamaphepha angama-35 olunamagama abantwana be-1000 ababulewe kwiimfazwe ezibandakanya i-US kuMbindi Mpuma. Wathi, "Uluhlu olupheleleyo, ngelishwa, ngabantwana abasisigidi ukususela kwi-1991. Ukuba ufuna ukukhuthazwa kwam, kukubulawa kwabantwana e-Iraq, eSiriya, e-Afghanistan naseYemen".
Njengoko ityala lalisondela ekuqukunjelweni kwalo u-Ed Horgan waya kwibhokisi yengqina ukuze anike ubungqina aze axoxwe ngumtshutshisi. Oku kuphelise ukukhusela ngoMvulo we-23rd kaJan. Namhlanje ijaji izakugqiba ukulishwankathela ityala ize imnike izalathiso. Iqela labachopheli-tyala liya kuthi ke lirhoxe ukuze lixoxe ngesigwebo esinokuthi sibe ngoku nje ngale njikalanga okanye ngomso Wed 25.th ngoJan.
U-Ed noDan, ngoku phambi kwenkundla, baphakathi komgca omde wabaqhankqalazi kuquka umakhulu, abameli abanyuliweyo UClare Daly kunye noMick Wallace, amagqala omkhosi waseMelika Ken Mayers kunye noTarak Kauff kunye nezenzo ezisekelwe elukholweni ezifana nezo zenziwe UDave Donnelan kunye noColm Roddy kwaye kakhulu nge Amakhuba ePitstop. 20th Isikhumbuzo sentshukumo yeZabelo zamakhuba siza nge-3 kaFebruwarird . Bangaphezu kwama-38 abalwela uxolo abaye batshutshiswa ngokwenza izenzo zoxolo ezingenalo ubundlobongela kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseShannon ukuze aveze kwaye azame ukuthintela ukubandakanyeka kweIreland kulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe.
U-Ed noDan baxhaswa ngabaphembeleli bamazwe ngamazwe abachasene nemfazwe. UKathy Kelly, ngoku uququzelela i INkundla yamaTyala oLwaphulo-mthetho lweMfazwe yabarhwebi, wabalisa ngolingo lwe-Pitstop Plowshares,
'Mr. UBrendan Nix, isithethi esihle kunye negqwetha, umelwe I-Pitstop PlowshareAbaphembeleli abathe, kwiintsuku phambi kokuba i-US iqale ukuqhushumbisa i-Iraq ngo-2003, bakhubaza inqwelomoya yemfazwe yase-US eyayipakwe kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya sase-Shannon. Kumazwi akhe okugqibela, uMnu. Nix wathetha nayo yonke inkundla wathi: “Umbuzo ngulo, 'ngaba aba bahlanu babenesingxengxezo esisemthethweni sokwenza le nto bayenzileyo?' Umbuzo ngulo, 'sithini isizathu sethu sokungenzi ngaphezulu?' Niya kuvuka ntoni na?
U-Ed Horgan kunye noDan Dowling baye baphakama ngokuthe ngcembe kumceli mngeni wokuphelisa imfazwe kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya sase-Shannon, befuna ukuba urhulumente wase-Ireland ahloniphe uMgaqo-siseko wakhe kwaye akwalele ukusetyenziswa kwesikhululo seenqwelomoya i-Shannon ukuthutha izixhobo, okanye abaphumi-mkhosi, okanye abantu abekelwe ukuthuthunjiswa kwamanye amazwe. Abantu baseIreland bangcono ngenxa yokuqina kunye nesibindi kukaDan kunye no-Ed. Umhlaba unokuba ngcono ukuba abantu baseIreland baququzelele indawo enkulu yokuhlala kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya i-Shannon, beqhankqalaza ihlazo lokuyisebenzisa njengePitstop yomkhosi wase-US.
Kutshanje uEd ubhale ukuba xa ehamba ngaphaya kwebala lokudlala apho abantwana bonwabileyo bedlala, uziva ebaphaphele abantwana abaziinkedama, abalimeleyo, abagxothwayo okanye ababulawa ziimfazwe, naphi na. U-Ed noDan abangozaphuli-mthetho, kodwa ityala labo liphakamisa imibuzo engundoqo malunga nolwaphulo-mthetho lokungathabathi cala okubhengezwe eIreland ngokukhonza uyilo olukhohlakeleyo lweenkosi zemfazwe.'
ILungu langoku lePalamente yaseYurophu kunye nomlweli owaziwayo wokulwa nemfazwe uClare Daly, naye owabanjwa e-Shannon, wavakalisa umanyano no-Ed noDan,
“Siza kulilandela ngononophelo eli tyala sisuka eBrussels. Akukho mathandabuzo ukuba ngokuchasene nemvelaphi ye-EU eyandayo yomkhosi, kunye nomgaqo-nkqubo wangaphandle othobela i-NATO kunye ne-US, ukungathathi hlangothi kwe-Ireland luphawu olubalulekileyo kwabaninzi. Kukwaphulwa rhoqo ngoorhulumente abalandelelanayo ngokuvumela ukusetyenziswa kwemihla ngemihla kweShannon ngumkhosi wase-US usendleleni eya kwiithiyetha zemfazwe lihlazo elipheleleyo. Ukuma kuka-Ed & Dan kwicala loxolo nokungathathi hlangothi kuyafuneka ngoku kunangaphambili. ”
UCiaron O'Reilly, umsebenzi ongumKatolika nokwalilungu lePitstop Plowshares, wayesenkundleni yaseDublin njengoko uEd wayenikela ubungqina. Ekhumbula esakhe isenzo, wavakalisa ithemba ngekamva lokuba ukuqhubeka nokuchasana nemfazwe njengoko kuboniswa ngezenzo zika-Ed noDan kubonisa ukuba kukho ithemba kuluntu.
“Ngomhla wesi-3 kuFebruwari. I-2023 iya kuba sisikhumbuzo seminyaka engama-20 yesenzo sethu sokuthotywa kwezixhobo ze-Pitstop Plowshares kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya sase-Shannon apho sikwazile ukumisa inqwelomoya yemfazwe yase-US kwindlela eya kuhlaselo lwase-Iraq kwaye siyithumele eTexas! Kuyoyikeka ukucinga ukuba bangaphi abantu baseIraq kunye nama-Afghani ababuleweyo ziimbumbulu kunye namajoni adlule eIreland ukusukela oko sasisebenza eShannon. Izenzo ezinjengoEd & Dan, apho abantu babeka inkululeko yabo ezinkundleni ngokuchasa ngokungenabundlobongela, ngomnye wemithombo embalwa yethemba kwintsapho yoluntu.”
Eli themba lelinye ekufuneka likhuthazwe kwaye likhuliswe ukuba siza kujongana nengxaki ezayo yokutshintsha kwemozulu, siphephe intshabalalo yenyukliya kwaye sithintele ungquzulwano oloyikekayo malunga nezixhobo ezinqongopheleyo ukuze sibe nalo naliphi na ithuba lekamva elinentsingiselo kubantwana baka-2017 kwaye ngaphaya koko izenzo zikaEd noDan zazifuna ukukhusela.
