Ibhombu ye-Knot: Ukucoca uxolo ngokudibeneyo, akukho majethi okulwa kunye nokukhumbula

NguKathrin Winkler, World BEYOND War, NgoMeyi 24, 2021

Ngexesha leminyaka yam yokufundisa ezilalini iOntario, uhambo lwabafundi ukuya kwiigalari zobugcisa zedolophu
Iihambo ezonwabisayo ezihlala zixoxa kunye nomsebenzi ophefumlelweyo womfundi. Umboniso omnye
kwigalari yeOntario yoBugcisa eyaphembelela ukubuzisa ngemfazwe yayinguBarbara Hunt
Uthotho lwe "Antipersonnel", igumbi eligcwele izinto ezifudumeleyo ezinemibala eyahlukeneyo epinki. Bona
yayibonakala ngathi yitetile zeti, kodwa yayinemifanekiso eqingqiweyo yasemigodini engama-50. Ngobungangamsha
Umahluko wokwahluka kwezixhobo ezibangela ukuba kuqhawulwe amalungu kusongelwe ezithambileyo, zasekhaya
Imisonto yaya ngqo kumongo. Abafundi bam bema ezindleleni zabo kwaye andikaze
ulibale umsebenzi wakhe.

Ubutshantliziyo bobugcisa kunye nemfazwe zombini zinemiphumela ehlala ihleli, ukanti enye inika kwaye enye ithathe. Abo
Iziphumo ezihlala ixesha elide kwizixhobo zemfazwe kubantu abahlali azinakulinganiswa okwangoku
Intlungu inobomi bayo, izizukulwana ezolulayo, ngamanye amaxesha ukuvuswa ekuphilisweni
kwaye ngamanye amaxesha uphefumlela impindezelo kubomi obungaphiliyo. Njengotitshala ndingakhumbula ukuba njani
ukubuya ngokukhuselekileyo kwezohambo zesikolo kwakusoloko kusengqondweni yethu. Amavili acabaleleyo, iimeko zomkhenkce wendlela
okanye ukugula bekusikhathaza, hayi iibhombu.

"Iibhombu zeKnot" yibhanile eya kukhumbula abantwana base-Yemeni ababulawa kukuhlaselwa kwebhombu
Nge-Agasti ka-2018. Kwasweleka abantwana abangama-38 kwaza kwalimala abangama-40 xa kwabetha iLombheed Martin Bomb
ibhasi yabo yesikolo kuhambo lwesikolo. Isibhengezo sinamagama omntwana ngamnye ofakiwe
IsiArabhu nesiNgesi kwaye ibandakanya izikwere ezingama-48, iintsiba ezinkulu ezingama-39 nangaphezulu kwama-30 amancinci
Iintsiba zithungelwe ngamalungu oluntu avela kumaqela amaninzi kubandakanya iNova Scotia
Ilizwi laBasetyhini ngoXolo, amaGogo aHalifax aRage, iQela lamaFundo amaSilamsi,
Abahlali abavela kwamanye amazwe kunye noMbutho wabaseTyhini abafudukayo weHalifax, iSanghas, oonongendi bamaBuddha kunye nabanye
amaqela asekelwe kwinkolo, iBhodi yeSizwe yeLizwi labafazi yoXolo kunye nabahlobo abaselwandle
elwandle ukuya elwandle.

I-89 nge-59 yee-intshi ibhanile yenziwa ngokwamanqanaba aliqela ukuze isebenze nge-covid
izithintelo. Sadibana kwi-zoom kwaye iziqwenga zelaphu zathunyelwa kubathathi-nxaxheba ngeposi kwaye
ibuyiswe ngeposi ngokunjalo. Izikwere zemida yoyilo lomntu ngamnye iintaka ezimbini, umama
kunye nomntwana, ohamba ngaphezulu kwesixeko esimnyama kwaye esaphukileyo. Ngomda ongezantsi apho
Yikholamu ye-LAV's (LIght Armored Vehicles), iidrones zibhabha kunye neebhombu ziwela kwiijethi zomlo
kunetha kumabhodlo emizi. Inye yeejethi ezili-19 imele i-1 yezigidigidi zeedola eCanada
Abarhafi bayarhola ngokuthenga ngenqwelo moya. Iintsiba zeentaka zithwala i
amagama abantwana afakwe kunye neminyaka. Ukuthunga kubiza ukudala ukudibanisa okucinga
kwaye uhlala uziva unonophelo lukamakhulu ukusuka kwixesha elidlulileyo. Ukudibanisa isigqubuthelo kwenza
asihlali sivela kuqala kwiingcinga zethu. Omnye wabasetyhini abathatha inxaxheba kwi "Knot Bombs" waziva
Wayesenza loo nto ngokuthunga igama lomntwana oneminyaka esi-8 ngesiArabhu nangesiNgesi njenge
Inxalenye yale projekthi.

Injongo yeprojekthi ngamacala amaninzi. Okokuqala, abasetyhini abathathe inxaxheba babekhona
bakwazi ukudibanisa malunga nomba wokukhumbula amaxhoba okungabikho kokusesikweni ngokuthunga amalaphu. Kuzo zonke
ukuthunga iinkcubeko yindlela yokubonelela ngokhuseleko ngempahla (kwezinye iimeko amakhaya)
kwaye abenzi bahlala bengamagama ngamagcisa. Uninzi lwethu aluzizo iingcali zokuhambisa amanzi amdaka, kodwa kukho
ubuchwephesha obugqibeleleyo phakathi kwamaqhekeza. Okwesibini, kukho ukungabi nathemba macala onke
Umlo wejethi kwezopolitiko zobundlongondlongo, ukanti, sifuna ukuqonda ilahleko, kwaye siyayamkela into yokuba njengesizwe esiqhubekekayo ukujongana nokuvelisa izixhobo, sinxibelelene nobundlongondlongo.

Intlungu ibubunzima kwaye inkuthazo yememori isikhumbuza ukuba singaliguqula iphepha liqhubeke
ukubulala kunye nokubandezeleka okwenziwe yimikhosi yasemkhosini kodwa iintsapho zabathandekayo zihambe unaphakade
thwala olu lusizi. Singaba lusizi ngale ndlela nangona siqonda ukuba ezo ntsapho
uyiphile le ntlungu mihla le ngokwahlukileyo.

Ukuboniswa kwebhanna kukwayinxalenye yeprojekthi. Siyathemba ukuba nomboniso ohambayo we
Isibhengezo esiqala ngoNocturne 2021 eHalifax. Iindawo zinokubandakanya, kodwa azikhawulelwanga
kwiNdlu yeBhunga laBasetyhini, kwikomkhulu likaLokheed Martin, eRaytheon, kuMbindi
Ithala leencwadi loLuntu, iTekhnoloji yeArmament (enye yezona zinto zincinci zivelisa izixhobo zaseCanada, kubandakanya
umpu), iRoyal Legion kunye neThala leeNcwadi laseCambridge kwiRoyal Artillery Park
Ukwakha.

U-Lockheed Martin unendawo eDartmouth, Nova Scotia. Iikontraki ezinkulu zokhuselo kwi
isikrweqe somhlaba ngokwaso kumabinzana wewebhusayithi anje ngo "Ukwenziwa kwezinto ezintsha kunye nenjongo ziyakhiwa
kuyo yonke into esiyenzayo ”. NgoFebruwari ku-youtube, intengiso yabo yokuqhayisa iyaqhayisa
Inkampani ihambise inkqubo ye-rocket engama-50,000 70 (GMLRS) eyaziwa ngokuba yi-'XNUMX km
umpu. ' ICanada ixoxisana nomtyholi njengoko ithathela ingqalelo iikhontrakthi ezintsha zokulwa
kwingoma yomngcwabo ye- $ 19 yezigidigidi.

Kumele ukuba kunjani kwiintsapho ezihlala emfazweni uloyiko? Kuya kufuneka bashenxise ukusuka kwithemba ukuya kwi
uloyiko kwimisila engapheliyo. Asinakwenza iibhena ezaneleyo zokumakisha ilahleko esijikelezileyo.
Oko saqala iprojekthi, inani lababhubhileyo kuhlaselo lwangoMeyi olwajolisa kumantombazana esikolo
I-Kabul inyukele kwi-85. IGaza ibisemlilweni, kwaye yinto ehlekisayo ngobuntu bethu ukubiza u-
ubuso babantwana ababingelelwe bengcwatywa, bonzakele, kwaye besifa 'ngumonakalo wesibambiso.'

Kodwa kwenzeka njani ukuba 'oonyana neentombi zethu' babe nobomi obunzima kakhulu kumgangatho welahleko
ngaphezu komntwana wase-Afghani okanye wase-Yemeni? Njani ubomi babo bathatha baya esibhakabhakeni ngozuko
phantsi kwamaphiko okuthand 'izwe kungaphezulu kobomi babo balinde amanzi acocekileyo?

Sinikela ubungqina kwindlala yesibindi namandla kwezopolitiko zokulalanisa kwaye
ukufihla nokwenzakalisa. Ukulungiselela imfazwe ngumatshini ohamba phakathi
intetho ethandabuzekayo nengqushu. Ukugcina uxolo kusikhumbuza ukuba kufuneka senze ngalo mzuzu kunye
ukuqiniseka okungapheliyo ukunqanda ishishini lokubulala elinikela ngokuzithandela ngabantwana.
