cinezela Ukhupho
UShannonwatch ucela uMphathiswa wezoThutho, uKhenketho kunye neMidlalo uShane Ross ukuba achaze ukuba kutheni inqwelomoya eyayisebenza egameni lomkhosi wase-US ivunyelwe ukuba ibhabhe isuka kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya iShannon isiya e-Incirlik Air Base kuMazantsi eTurkey kwaye ibuye ngoLwesihlanu nge-30 kaDisemba.th. Isiseko somoya esikufutshane nomda waseSyria sisetyenziswa yi-US ukuphehlelela uhlaselo lomoya kunye nedrone kunye nokugcina inxalenye yezixhobo zayo zenyukliya. Nakuphi na ukubandakanyeka ekuhanjisweni kwempahla yomkhosi okanye abakhweli kwi-Incirlik ke ngoko kukwaphulwa kokungathathi hlangothi kwe-Irish.
Inqwelomoya, iMiami Air International Boeing 737, yafika eShannon ngolwesihlanu at 1pm, kwaye yemka ngaphantsi kwe Iiyure ze-2 kamva. Uchithe ixesha elide elifanayo kwi-airbase yomkhosi eTurkey ngaphambi kokubuyela eShannon ngo 4am ngentsasa elandelayo.
"NjengoMphathiswa ojongene nokunikezelwa kweemvume zokuthatha izixhobo kunye nezixhobo kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya zaseIreland, ngaba uMphathiswa uRoss unalo ulwazi malunga nento ebikhwele inqwelomoya yaseMiami?" wabuza uJohn Lannon weShannonwatch. "Ukhe wavakalisa inkxalabo kwixesha elidlulileyo malunga nokungathabathi cala kwe-Ireland, kutheni ke evumela inqwelomoya ibhabha isiya kwaye isuka kwisikhululo somoya esikhulu se-NATO esifana ne-Incirlik ukuba ihlale e-Shannon, ekusenokwenzeka ukuba iza kuphinda igcwalise?"
"Ukuba inqwelomoya yaseMiami Air inezixhobo okanye enye imithwalo eyingozi ekhwele kuyo bekungafanelanga ukuba ivunyelwe ukuba ipake kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya apho ibeka umngcipheko wokhuseleko kubantu abasebenzisa isikhululo seenqwelomoya nakubasebenzi." wongeza uJohn Lannon.
"Ubukho bale nqwelomoya eShannon bukwaphakamisa imibuzo kuBaphathiswa bezoBulungisa kunye neMicimbi yezaNgaphandle" utshilo u-Edward Horgan waseShannonwatch owayekwisikhululo seenqwelomoya ukufika kwenqwelomoya. “Phambi nje kokuba inqwelomoya ifike imoto yokugada i-Garda yangena kwindawo esecaleni lomoya kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya nokukhanya kwayo okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Abasemagunyeni balunyukiswa ngokucacileyo ngokufika kwenqwelo-moya eyayifuna ukukhuselwa ngokukhethekileyo. Kutheni le nto yayifuneka, kwaye ngubani ogunyazise ukukhuselwa komkhosi wase-US?"
Ngaphezu kwezigidi ezibini ezinesiqingatha imikhosi yase-US kunye nezixhobo zabo baye badlula kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseShannon kule minyaka ili-15 idlulileyo kwinqwelomoya eqeshiweyo neyomkhosi. Uninzi lwezi ngoku zihamba ngeenqwelomoya zeOmni Air International. Ukongeza, kukho ukuhlala rhoqo kwe-US Air Force kunye ne-Navy aircraft kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya.
"Ngowama-2003 iNkundla ePhakamileyo yagweba ukuba inani elikhulu lamajoni ase-US kunye nezixhobo zemfazwe ezidlula eShannon zaphula iNgqungquthela yaseHague yokungathathi hlangothi," utshilo uHorgan. “Nangona kunjalo oorhulumente baseIreland abalandelelanayo baye baqhubeka nokubavumela ukuba bayisebenzise njengesiseko sokusebenza sokuhlasela, imisebenzi kunye namaphulo omkhosi kuMbindi Mpuma. Umphathiswa uRoss ngoku uyaqhubeka nokulahlwa ngokuphandle kokungathabathi cala kwethu.”
“Xa wayethetha ngesikhundla seBhunga laseYurophu kwi-NATO izolo, uTaoiseach Enda Kenny wabhekisa kwiimeko ezisemthethweni ezisebenza kumazwe afana neIreland ukukhusela ubundilele bethu. Izenzo zithetha kakhulu kunamagama nangona kunjalo, kwaye izenzo zikaRhulumente wakhe ekwamkeleni ukusetyenziswa komkhosi wase-US kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseShannon zenza intlekisa ngokungathathi hlangothi kwe-Ireland ”.
“Ukuhla komkhosi waseUnited States nako kwandisa umngcipheko wohlaselo lwabanqolobi olunokuba nemiphumo emibi kwisikhululo seenqwelo-moya okanye eDublin. Esi sisizathu esinyanzelekileyo sokuphelisa,” wongeze watsho uMnu Horgan.
NgoDisemba 29th, ngosuku ngaphambi kokuba inqwelomoya yaseMiami Air ifike eShannon, iRAF yaseBrithani iHercules C130J nayo yarekhodwa apho nguShannonwatch. Inqwelomoya isuke kwisiseko seRAF Brize Norton ngaphandle kwaseLondon kwithutyana nje elingephi ngaphambili.
Ngelixa zombini iinqwelomoya zazikwisikhululo seenqwelomoya, uShannonwatch wanxibelelana noGardaí ukubacela ukuba baphande ukuba babephethe izixhobo. Ngokolwazi lwabo, akukho phando lwenziwayo.
