“Oku kukukhanya kwam kuncinane, ndiza kukwenza kukhanye! Mayikhanye, ikhanye, ikhanye."
Yiba nomfanekiso wabantwana ngokukhanuka ukucula le migca ingasentla ekugqibeleni yaba ngumhobe wamalungelo oluntu. Ukuba msulwa kwabo nesigqibo sabo esonwabileyo siyasikhanyisela. Ewe! Xa sijongene neemfazwe, iingxaki zeembacu, ukwanda kwezixhobo kunye neempembelelo zokutshintsha kwemozulu ezingalungiswanga, masivakalise ingqiqo yabantwana. Ukulunga makukhanye. Okanye, njengoko abahlobo bethu abancinci e-Afghanistan beyibeke, #Kwanele! Babhala igama, eDari, ezintendeni zezandla zabo kwaye babonise iikhamera, befuna ukukhwaza umnqweno wabo wokuphelisa zonke iimfazwe.
Kweli hlobo lidlulileyo, ukusebenzisana kunye Amatshantliziyo eWisconsin, sagqiba ekubeni sibonise oku kuthintelwa kwiimpawu kunye nezibhengezo zephulo lokuhamba ngeemayile ze-90 ukuphelisa ukubulawa kwe-drone ekujoliswe kuyo phesheya, kunye nokungohlwaywa ngokobuhlanga okufanayo kunikwe umkhosi wamapolisa okhulayo xa ebulala abantu abantsundu nabamnyama ngaphakathi e-US.
Ukuhamba kwiidolophu ezincinci kunye needolophu zaseWisconsin, abathathi-nxaxheba basasaza amaphecana kwaye babamba imfundiso-ins bekhuthaza abantu ukuba bafune ukuphendula kumapolisa asekuhlaleni, kunye nokuphela kwenkqubo ye-"Shadow Drone" eqhutywa ngu-US Air National Guard ngaphandle kwe-Volk Field yaseWisconsin. Umhlobo wethu uMaya Evans uhambe owona mgama ude waya kujoyina uhambo: unxibelelanisa iiVoices for Creative Nonviolence e-UK. U-Alice Gerard, ovela e-Grand Isle, NY, ngoyena mhambi wethu ohamba umgama omde, ekuhambeni kwakhe kwesithandathu sokulwa ne-VCNV.
UBrian Terrell uqaphele ukuba oomama bebethetha neCode Pink, njengenxalenye yephulo likaMama elichasana neNgculaza yamaPolisa, baphinde baqaphela: ukuba ngokumangalisayo uninzi lwamagosa atyholwa ngokubulala abantwana babo yayingamagqala eemfazwe zase-US e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq. Ukhumbule iziganeko ezidlulileyo zelizwe, ezifana nengqungquthela ye-NATO eChicago, ngo-2012, abaququzeleli bayo bazama ukufumana amagosa okhuseleko lwexeshana phakathi kwamagqala ase-US. Amajoni angaphambili, asele ehlaselwe yimfazwe, adinga inkxaso, ukhathalelo lwempilo kunye noqeqesho lomsebenzi kodwa endaweni yoko anikwa imisebenzi yethutyana ukuze ajolise izixhobo kwabanye abantu kwiimeko ezixeliweyo.
Uhambo lwalufundisa. USalek Khalid, umhlobo weVoices, wabelane "Ukudala isihogo eMhlabeni: i-US Drone ibetha ngaphandle," intetho yakhe enzulu malunga nokuphuhliswa kwemfazwe ye-drone. UTyler Sheafer, esijoyine kwi-Progressive Alliance kufutshane ne-Independence, MO, ugxininise ukuzimela kokuphila ngokulula, ngaphandle kwegridi kunye nezityalo ezityayo ezikhuliswe kuphela kumgama oziikhilomitha ezili-150 kwikhaya lomntu, ngelixa ababuki zindwendwe baseMauston, WI bamkele uJoe Kruse ukuba athethe fracking kunye nesidingo sethu esihlangeneyo sokutshintsha iipatheni zokusetyenziswa kwamandla. Ukukwazi ukubamba imali yethu kunye nabasebenzi bethu yindlela ebalulekileyo yokunyanzela oorhulumente ukuba bathintele amandla abo anobundlobongela asekhaya nawamazwe ngamazwe.
Sasingesodwa. Sihambe ngokubambisana nabahlali baseGangjeong, eMzantsi Korea, abamkele abaninzi bethu ukuba bangenelele kwiphulo labo lokumisa umkhosi weSiqithi sabo esihle saseJeju. Ukufuna ubumbano phakathi kwesiqithi kunye nokuqaphela ukuba babelana ngokusondeleyo kangakanani kwintlungu yabantu base-Afghan abasindwa yi-US "Asia Pivot," abahlobo bethu base-Okinawa, eJapan baya kubamba uhambo olusuka emantla ukuya emazantsi esiqithi, beqhankqalaza ukwakhiwa kwe-US entsha. isiseko somkhosi eHenoko. Kunokuba sixhokonxe imfazwe ebandayo entsha, sifuna ukukhanyisa kwiinkxalabo zethu kunye nezinto ezisixhalabisayo, sifumane ukhuseleko kwizandla ezandisiweyo zobuhlobo.
NgoAgasti 26th, abanye abahambahambayo baya kwenza inkcaso engenabundlobongela kwiVolk Field, bephethe imiyalezo malunga nemfazwe ye-drone kunye nokuchazwa ngokobuhlanga kwiinkundla zomthetho kunye nombono woluntu.
Amaxesha amaninzi siye sicinge ukuba ubomi obugutyungelwe bubunewunewu bemihla ngemihla bukuphela kobomi obunokwenzeka, ngelixa isiqingatha sehlabathi kude, ukusinika ezo ntuthuzelo, abanye abangenakuzinceda benziwa ukuba bangcangcazele yingqele okanye uloyiko olungaphephekiyo. Kube ngumyalelo kolu hambo ukuba sizikhulule kancinane, sibone indlela ukukhanya kwethu okukhazimla ngayo, kungafihlwanga, kwindlela enqumla kwiidolophu ezingabamelwane, amazwi aculayo esiwavile kubantwana abafunda ukuba badala kangangoko banako; uzama ukufunda eso sifundo sinye. Ingoma ithi “Andiyi ukukhanya: Ndiza _mayikhanye. Sinethemba lokuba ngokukhupha inyaniso esele ingaphakathi kuthi sinokukhuthaza abanye ukuba baphile eyabo, sikhanyisele ngakumbi ubuntu kukuxhatshazwa ngogonyamelo, ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe, kweenkqubo zobumnyama ezikhuthaza ugonyamelo. Kwiihambo ezinje sibe nethamsanqa lokucinga ubomi obungcono, ukwabelana ngamaxesha enjongo kunye nengqondo kunye nabaninzi esidibene nabo endleleni.
