IPentagon ikhuphe eyayo ingxelo yinyaka Kutshanje ngokuzibulala emkhosini, kwaye kusinika iindaba ezibuhlungu kakhulu. Ngaphandle kokuchitha amakhulu ezigidi zeedola kwiinkqubo zokuphelisa le ngxaki, inqanaba lokuzibulala kwimikhosi esebenzayo yase-US inyuke yaya kwi-28.7 kwi-100,000 nganye nge-2020, inyuka ukusuka kwi-26.3 nge-100,000 kunyaka ophelileyo.
Eli lelona zinga liphezulu ukusukela ngo-2008, xa iPentagon yaqala ukugcina iirekhodi ezineenkcukacha. Kwi ingxelo edibeneyo, Unobhala Wezomkhosi wase-US uChristine Wormuth kunye no General James McConville, umphathi wezomkhosi, banike ingxelo yokuba "ukuzibulala kuhlala kungumceli mngeni omkhulu kumkhosi wethu," kwaye bavuma ukuba abanakuqonda ngokucacileyo ukuba kubangelwa yintoni.
Mhlawumbi kuya kufuneka bajonge kufutshane nefuthe loqeqesho, ukuxhobisa izixhobo, kunye nokuqesha amadoda nabafazi abancinci ukuba babulale abanye abantu. Kukho ezininzi amabali okonzakala ibangelwe zezi zenzo.
Kutheni le nto uninzi lwabantu baseMelika bekwamkela oku njengeendleko zokugcina ukhuseleko lwesizwe? Ngaba siye saxhotyiswa ngengqondo ziipokotho ezinzulu kunye namandla asasazekayo kwinkampani yezomkhosi nanjengoko uMongameli Eisenhower wayelumkisile intetho yokuxoxisana kwi1961?
Uninzi lwabantu baseMelika bacinga ukuba ukuncama impilo yengqondo kunye nobomi bamadoda nabafazi bethu emkhosini ziindleko nje zokukhusela i-United States. Abanye bafa emhlabeni, abanye elwandle, abanye emoyeni, kwaye abanye baya kuthatha ubomi babo. Kodwa ngaba sinyanzelekile ukuba sincame ubomi babantu abaninzi kangaka, kweli nakwamanye amazwe, ukuze sihlale sikhuselekile, kwaye sikhululekile? Ngaba asifumani ndlela ibhetele yokufikelela kwezi njongo?
Abameli be umanyano lwentando yesininzi kholelwa ukuba singasuka kwi umthetho wokunyanzelwa, exhomekeke kumbingelelo wobomi, ku amandla omthetho apho iingxaki zisonjululwa kwinkundla yomthetho.
Ukuba ucinga ukuba oku akunakwenzeka, qaphela into yokuba, ngaphambi, ngexesha, nasemva koqhushululu lwaseMelika, ithi ilizwe laseMelika labandakanyeka kungquzulwano ngezixhobo. George Washington wayexhalabile kakhulu ngozinzo lwesizwe phantsi korhulumente obuthathaka obonelelwe ngamaNqaku e-Confederation, kwaye ngesizathu esihle.
Kodwa, xa umgaqo-siseko wawuqinisekisiwe kwaye ilizwe lasuka kumanyano laya kumanyano, amazwe aqala ukusombulula iingxabano zawo phantsi kwegunya likarhulumente kunokuba asebenze edabini.
Ngo-1799, umzekelo, yayingurhulumente omtsha owanelisa ngokwanelisayo isombulule impikiswano ende yamazwe ukuba, kwisithuba seminyaka engama-30, kuqhume umzabalazo wegazi phakathi kwemikhosi exhobileyo evela eConnecticut nasePennsylvania.
Ngapha koko, jonga kwimbali ye- udibano lwaseyurophu. Emva kweenkulungwane zomlo ombi phakathi kwamazwe aseYurophu, i-European Union yasekwa ngeenjongo zokuphelisa iimfazwe ezininzi ezazinegazi phakathi kwabo ezakhokelela kwintlekele yeMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi. Nangona i-European Union ingekabikho umanyano lwamazwe, ukudityaniswa kwamazwe awayexabana ngaphambili kubeke isiseko somanyano kwaye kube yimpumelelo emangalisayo ekupheliseni imfazwe phakathi kwabo.
Ngaba unokulithelekelela ilizwe elisombulula iingxaki zalo enkundleni yamatyala endaweni yokutyumza ubomi bezigidi zamadoda nabafazi? Khawufane ucinge ngala manyathelo.
Kuqala, siyaziguqula iZizwe eziManyeneyo zisuswe kumfelandawonye siye kumfelandawonye wezizwe ezinomgaqo-siseko oqinisekisa ngamalungelo oluntu kwindalo iphela, ikhusela okusingqongileyo kwihlabathi liphela, ikwalela nemfazwe nezixhobo zentshabalalo.
Emva koko senza amaziko ehlabathi afunekayo ukuseka nokunyanzelisa umthetho wehlabathi ngobulungisa. Ukuba igosa likarhulumente laphula umthetho, loo mntu uya kubanjwa, azame, kwaye ukuba ufunyenwe enetyala, avalelwe. Singayiphelisa imfazwe kwaye, sikhusele ubulungisa.
Ewe kunjalo, siyakufuna iitsheki kunye neebhalansi ukuze siqiniseke ukuba akukho lizwe okanye inkokeli egunyazisiweyo enokulawula umanyano lwehlabathi.
Kodwa singenza umhlaba ube yindawo engcono ngaphandle koqeqesho, ukuxhobisa, nokuqesha abantu abancinci nabasetyhini ukuba babulale abantu bamanye amazwe, kwaye, ngokwenza njalo, sishiya amajoni ethu ejongene neziphumo, kubandakanya nokufa kwibala lomlo kuphela, kodwa ukukhathazeka kwengqondo kunye ukuzibulala.
