Amanga Malunga neRwanda ayichaza iMfazwe Engakumbi Ukuba ayilungiswa

NguDavid Swanson

Nxusa ukuphela kwemfazwe kwezi ntsuku kwaye uya kuva ngokukhawuleza amagama amabini: "Hitler" kunye "Rwanda." Ngelixa iMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi yabulala abantu abamalunga nezigidi ezingama-70, kukubulawa kwabantu abazizigidi ezi-6 ukuya kwezili-10 (kuxhomekeke kubani ababandakanyayo) enegama lokuBulawa Kwabantu Ngenkohlakalo. Ungaze ucinge ukuba i-United States kunye nabalingane bayo bayala ukunceda abo bantu ngaphambi kwemfazwe okanye bayekise imfazwe ukubasindisa okanye ukubeka phambili ukubanceda ekuphelisweni kwemfazwe- okanye bayeke ukuvumela iPentagon iqeshe abanye bababulali babo. Ungaze ukhumbule ukuba ukusindisa amaJuda akuzange kube yinjongo yeWWII kude kube sekupheleni kwemfazwe. Cebisa ukuphelisa imfazwe emhlabeni kwaye iindlebe zakho ziya kukhala ngegama elithi uHillary Clinton ubiza uVladimir Putin nokuba uJohn Kerry ubize uBashar al Assad.

Dlula kuHitler, kunye nokukhwaza "Sifanele sithintele enye iRwanda!" iyakukumisa kwimizila yakho, ngaphandle kokuba imfundo yakho yoyisile intsomi ephantse yenzeka jikelele. Ngomnyaka we-1994, iqela labantu baseAfrika abangenangqondo eRwanda lenze isicwangciso sokuphelisa ubuhlanga obuncinci kwaye baqhuba isicwangciso sabo sokubulala abantu abangaphezu kwesigidi kweso sizwe-ngenxa yezizathu ezingenangqondo zentiyo. Urhulumente wase-US ebexakekile esenza izinto ezintle kwenye indawo kwaye enganikeli ngqalelo ngokwaneleyo de kube lixesha. IZizwe eziManyeneyo ziyazi ukuba kwenzeka ntoni kodwa zala ukwenza, ngenxa yokuba yayiligosa elikhulu elihlala abantu ababengengabo abemi baseMelika. Kodwa, ngenxa yemizamo yase-US, izaphuli-mthetho zatshutshiswa, iimbacu zavunyelwa ukuba zibuye, kwaye idemokhrasi kunye nokukhanya kwe-Europe kwaziswa ngokuzolileyo kwiintlambo ezimnyama zaseRwanda.

Into enje ngale ntsomi isezingqondweni zabo bakhwaza ukuhlaselwa kweLibya okanye iSyria okanye iUkraine phantsi kwebhanile ethi “Hayi enye iRwanda!” Ukucinga kuya kuba ngokungakhathali ngokungakhathali nokuba kusekelwe kwinyani. Uluvo lokuba KUFUNEKA into e-Rwanda morphs kwimbono yokuba ukuqhushumbisa okunzima kwakufuneka eRwanda okushenxisa ngokungakhathali kwingcinga yokuba ukuqhushumbisa okunzima kuyadingeka eLibya. Iziphumo zezi ukubhujiswa kweLibya. Kodwa impikiswano ayenzelwanga abo banike ingqalelo into eyayisenzeka nakwiindawo ezikufutshane neRwanda ngaphambi okanye ukusukela ngo-1994. Yimpikiswano yomzuzwana eyenzelwe ukufaka isicelo okomzuzwana kuphela. Ungaze ucinge ukuba kutheni uGadaffi etshintshiwe wasuka kumlingani waseNtshona waba lutshaba lwaseNtshona, kwaye ungaze uyikhathalele into eyayishiyekileyo emfazweni. Sukuhoya indlela eyapheliswa ngayo iMfazwe yeHlabathi yokuQala kunye nokuba bangaphi ababukeli abalumkileyo abaqikelela iMfazwe yesibini yeHlabathi ngelo xesha. Inqaku lelokuba iRwanda yayizakwenzeka eLibya (ngaphandle kokuba ujonga inyani kakhulu) kwaye ayenzekanga. Ityala livaliwe. Ixhoba elilandelayo.

Edward Herman khuthaza kakhulu incwadi ethi Robin Philpot ubize ERwanda kunye neNew Scramble for Africa: Ukusuka kwiNkathazo eya kwiNkcazo yamaBubulo, Nam ndenza njalo. UPhilpot uvula ngamazwi kaNobhala Jikelele we-UN uBoutros Boutros-Ghali esithi "ukubulawa kwabantu eRwanda kwakuyikhulu leepesenti zabantu baseMelika!" Inokwenzeka njani loo nto? Abantu baseMelika abanatyala ukuba izinto zikwimimandla engasemva emhlabeni ngaphambi "kongenelelo" lwabo. Ngokuqinisekileyo uMnu.Boutros ophindwe kabini unexesha lakhe elingachanekanga. Ixesha elininzi elichithwe kwezi ofisi ze-UN kunye nabaphathi bamanye amazwe ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo. Okwangoku, iinyani- hayi amabango aphikisanayo kodwa kwavunyelwana ngokubanzi kwiinyani ezigxininiswa ngabaninzi- zithetha ngenye indlela.

I-United States yakuxhasa ukuhlasela kweRwanda ngo-Okthobha 1, 1990, ngumkhosi wase-Uganda owawukhokelwa ngababulali abaqeqeshwe e-US, kwaye baxhasa uhlaselo lwabo eRwanda iminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha. Ukuphendula, urhulumente waseRwanda, akazange alandele imodeli yokufakwa kwamaJapan eJapan ngexesha leMfazwe yesibini (II), okanye unyango lwe-US lwamaSilamsi kule minyaka ili-12 idlulileyo. Kwaye ayikhange iqambe mbono wabangcatshi phakathi kwayo, njengoko umkhosi ohlaselayo enyanisweni wawuneeseli ezisebenzayo ezingama-36 zabasebenzisana eRwanda. Kodwa urhulumente waseRwanda wabamba abantu abangama-8,000 kwaye wabagcina iintsuku ezimbalwa ukuya kwiinyanga ezintandathu. I-Africa Watch (kamva i-Human Rights Watch / i-Afrika) ibhengeze oku njengokunyhashwa kwamalungelo oluntu, kodwa ayinanto yakuthetha ngokuhlasela kunye nemfazwe. UAlison Des Forges weAfrika Watch ucacise ukuba amaqela alungileyo oluntu “awuqwalaseli umba wokuba ngubani owenza imfazwe. Sibona imfazwe njengobubi kwaye sizama ukuthintela ubukho bemfazwe ekubeni sisizathu sokunyhashwa kwamalungelo abantu. ”

Imfazwe yabulala abantu abaninzi, nokuba ukubulawa kwabo kufanelekile njengokuphula amalungelo abantu. Abantu babaleke abahlaseli, badala ingxaki enkulu yeembacu, bonakalisa ezolimo, bachitha uqoqosho, kwaye baphazamisa noluntu. I-United States kunye ne-West bexhobile ngezifudumezi kwaye basebenzise uxinzelelo olongezelelekileyo ngeBhanki yeHlabathi, i-IMF, kunye ne-USAID. Kwaye phakathi kweziphumo zemfazwe ukwanda kobutshaba phakathi kwamaHutu namaTutsi. Ekugqibeleni urhulumente wayeza kuwisa. Kuza kuqala ukubulawa kwabantu abaninzi okwaziwa ngokuba yiRwanda. Kwaye ngaphambi koko kwakuza kubakho ukubulawa kwabaongameli ababini. Ngelo xesha, ngo-Epreli 1994, iRwanda yayikwisiphithiphithi phantse kwinqanaba le-Iraq kunye neLibya.

Enye indlela yokuthintela ukuxhela ibiya kuba kukungayixhasi imfazwe. Enye indlela yokuthintela ukuxhela ibingayi kukuxhasa ukubulawa kukaMongameli waseRwanda nowaseBurundi ngomhla we-6 ku-Epreli 1994. Ubungqina bukhomba ngokuqinileyo kulowo u-US uxhasa u-Paul Kagame wase-US oqeqeshiweyo nowenza imfazwe. IRwanda-njengeqela elinetyala. Ngelixa kungekho siphikiso sokuba inqwelo moya kaMongameli yadutyulwa, amaqela olungelo loluntu kunye nemibutho yamanye amazwe bathumele nje ngokudlula "kwingozi yenqwelomoya" kwaye benqaba ukuphanda.

Indlela yesithathu yokuthintela ukuxhela, eyaqala kwangoko kwiindaba zokubulawa kukaMongameli, isenokuba kukuthumela abagcini boxolo be-UN (hayi into efanayo nemijukujelwa yomlilo wesihogo, makubhalwe njalo), kodwa ayisiyiyo le nto yayifunwa yiWashington, kwaye urhulumente wase-US wasebenza ngokuchasene nayo. Oko ulawulo lukaClinton lwalusemva kokubeka uKagame emandleni. Yiyo ke loo nto ukumelana nokubiza ukuxhela “njengembubhiso” (nokuthumela kwi-UN) de kube lityala lolwaphulo-mthetho kurhulumente olawulwa ngamaHutu kwabonwa kuluncedo. Ubungqina obuqokelelwe nguPhilpot bucebisa ukuba "ukubulawa kohlanga" kwakungacwangciswanga kangako emva kokudutyulwa kwenqwelomoya, kwakushukunyiswa ezopolitiko kunokuba kube bubuhlanga nje, kwaye kwakungekho kwicala elinye njengoko bekucingelwa jikelele.

Ngapha koko, ukubulawa kwabantu baseRwanda kuyaqhubeka ukusukela oko, nangona ukubulawa kwabantu kuye kwaba nzima eCongo, apho urhulumente kaKagame wayithatha khona imfazwe-ngoncedo lwe-US kunye nezixhobo kunye nemikhosi-kwaye waqhushumisa iinkampu zeembacu zabulala abantu abazizigidi. Isizathu sokuya eCongo ibe kukuzingela izaphuli-mthetho zemfazwe zaseRwanda. Inkuthazo yokwenyani ibikhona Ulawulo lweNtshona kunye nenzuzo. Imfazwe eCongo iqhubekile unanamhla, ishiya abanye abantu be-6 yezigidi beswelekile-okona kubulala kubi ukusukela kwisigidi se-70 seWWII. Ukanti akukho mntu wakha wathi “Kufuneka sithintele enye iCongo!”
