EZINTSHA: 

KWI-REPRIEVE:

Umongameli wangaphambili wase-United States Jikelele uStanley McChrystal uye waxwayisa ukuba inkqubo ye-drones yase-United States yokulwa neengxabano idala "ininzi enkulu yentlungu" phakathi kwabantu "abangenakunceda" kwiindawo ezijoliswe kuzo. Isikhundla sokugqibela sikaMcChrystal ngaphambi kokuthatha umhlalaphantsi kwakujongene nebutho le-NATO e-Afghanistan, apho kuqhutywe khona i-drone kuqhutywe kakhulu kwimisebenzi.

Ebuzwa yiprogram yomsasazo ye-BBC namhlanje. Ixesha elizayo lalingenxa yeemfazwe ze-drone, uMcChrystal uthetha ngeengozi zokubona inkqubo ye-drones njenge "antiseptic":

"Kukho ingozi yokuba into evakalelwa kulula ukuyifumana kwaye ingekho ingozi kuwe, phantse i-antiseptic kumntu odubulayo, akayi kuvakalelwa ngaloo ndlela kwinqanaba. Kwaye ke ukuba iyanciphisa umda wokuthatha imisebenzi ngenxa yokuba ilula, kunengozi kuloo nto.

"Kwaye ke enye inxalenye yembono yokuzikhukhumeza, kukho imbono yabantu abangenakuncedwa kwindawo ebethelwa njengeendudumo ezivela esibhakabhakeni ngumbutho osebenza ngokungakhathaliseki ukuba unesayensi kunye namandla onke, kwaye unokudala ubuninzi bentukuthelo phakathi kwabantu, nangona awanabo abantu abaye bajoliswe kuwo, kodwa ngeenxa zonke, ngenxa yeendlela ezibonakalayo kwaye uzive ngayo.

"Ngoko ke ndicinga ukuba kufuneka silumke kakhulu; into ebonakala ngathi i-panacea ekuhlaselweni kwemfazwe ayikho konke. "

Izimvo zikaMcChrystal ziza emva nje kweentsuku emva kwegunya le-Yemeni kwiZizwe eziManyeneyo zivume ukuba kuye kwafuneka kuqaliswe isikhungo sokululeka kubantwana ngenxa yokuba inqanaba lomonakalo obangelwa yi-US drone kuhlaselwa kweli lizwe liphezulu.

Umlawuli we-NATO wangaphambili wase-Afghanistan ujoyina inani elikhulayo labagxeki kwiprogram ye-drone evela kumkhosi wase-US, i-intelligence kunye nezikhundla zezopolitiko:

URobert Grenier, owayenguMlawuli we-CIA's Counter-Terrorism Centre ukusukela ngo-2004 ukuya ku-2006, usandula ukubuza: “Bangaphi abantu base-Yemenis abanokufuduswa kwixa elizayo kubundlongondlongo obunobundlongondlongo xa besabela kwimingcelele yemijukujelwa ekujoliswe kuyo ngokungakhathali, kwaye mangaphi amajoni ase-Yemeni anee-ajenda ezingqongqo zalapha ingaba ziintshaba ezizinikeleyo zaseNtshona xa zisabela kwimikhosi yase-US nxamnye nabo [?] ”

Okwangoku, iSekela likaMongameli weMelika e-Yemen, uNabeel Khoury, uye walumkisa ukuba "i-US ivelisa iintshaba ezimashumi amane ukuya kwemashumi amatsha kuzo zonke ii-AQAP ezibulawe yi-drones."
