Kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo uninzi lwethu beludibana kwiifowuni zokusondeza. Ukujonga amakhaya kunye nezifundo kuyandinika umdla, nangona ndiziva ndingonwabanga. Ewe, emva kwam kuhlala kukho ifoto enefreyim yeSt. Oscar Romero, ubhishophu omkhulu wase-El Salvador owaguqukayo, wazimanya nabona bangamahlwempu, wanyelisa imfazwe, waza wagwintwa.

Abanye benu bayazi malunga nesiseko somkhosi wase-US eFort Benning, GA eyaqeqesha amajoni aseSalvador ukuba abandakanyeke ekunyamaleleni, ukungcungcuthekisa, ukubulala kunye nezenzo zeqela lokufa. Kumashumi eminyaka eyadlulayo, abahlobo abathathu, uRoy Bourgeois, uLarry Rosebough, kunye noLinda Ventimiglia, banxibe ukudinwa komkhosi kwaye bangena kwisiseko. Bakhwela kumthi omde wompayina wasemazantsi, baza emva koko bavula ibhokisana eyayivuthela amazwi kaRomero kwisiseko ngokungathi ivela emazulwini: “Egameni likaThixo egameni labazalwana noodade bethu ababandezelekileyo e-El Salvador, ndiyabongoza. wena, ndikuyalela, - yeka ingcinezelo! Yeka ukubulala!

URoy, uLarry noLinda bavalelwa entolongweni. UBhishophu Omkhulu uRomero wagwintwa, kodwa loo mazwi asankenteza kuthi. Yeka ingcinezelo! Yeka ukubulala!

Imfazwe ayisoze ibe yimpendulo.

Kudala ndifunda imibhalo eqokelelweyo kaPhil Berrigan, umseki wombutho wePlowshares, owavela kwijoni ukuya kwisifundiswa ukuya kwitshantliziyo elinamandla. Waqala ukuthetha kunye nokusebenza kwintshukumo yamalungelo oluntu, emva koko kwimfazwe ye-anti-Vietnam emva koko, amashumi eminyaka, echasa izixhobo zenyukliya. Wafaniswa nomprofeti othi “jack-in-the-box”. I-US yakhupha izigwebo ezide zasentolongweni kwaye wayehlala ephinda evela, exelela abahlobo bakhe: "Ndidibane ePentagon!" Kwintetho yakhe yokugqibela ePentagon, echasa imfazwe yase-US esondelayo e-Afghanistan, uPhil ucenge amatsha ntliziyo awayehlanganisene esithi: “Musani Ukudinwa!”

Abahlobo ababini bakaPhil abangadinwayo basesibhedlele namhlanje ebusuku, eSan Francisco. UJan noDavid Hartsough kunye nosapho lwabo, bajikeleze ibhedi yesibhedlele sikaDavid apho akwimeko emaxongo. UJan wacela bonke abahlobo bakaDavid ukuba bambambe ekukhanyeni.

UDavide ukhokele World BEYOND War, akaze adinwe kubutsha-ntliziyo kwaye esoloko esikhuthaza ukuba sibandakanyeke kwinkcaso engenabundlobongela. Ndicebisa i-toast kuDavid noJan Hartsough. Kwikomityi yam iti yesidlo sakusasa sase-Ireland kuba bendingafuni ukubonakala ndidiniwe xa ndisenza le salute.

Ewe, masiphakamise iindondo zethu, siphakamise amazwi ethu, kwaye, okona kubaluleke kakhulu, sinyuse imali.

Sidinga imali ukuze siqhubeke. Kukho iziseko eziza kuvalwa, iincwadi eziza kubhalwa, amaqela okufunda aza kukhokelwa, kunye nemibutho yomkhosi eza kulungiswa ngokutsha. Iwebhusayithi iqaqambile. Abafundi abatsha abaqeqeshwayo bayasivuyisa. Kodwa kufuneka sikwazi ukubonelela ngemivuzo yokuphila kwaba basebenzi balungileyo, banesisa, nabalumkileyo, kwaye bekungayi kuba kuhle ukuba umlawuli wethu ophetheyo omangalisayo bekunganyanzelekanga ukuba adideke ngendlela yokunyusa imali.

Oovimba abakhulu babarhwebi bokufa bayanda. Abantu abaguquguqukayo ubomi babo abafumani ncedo luncinci.

Asifuni ukuba oomkhosi wamashishini baqhubeke nokuthatha urhulumente wethu, izikolo, iindawo zokusebenza, amajelo eendaba kunye namaziko ethu enkolo. Bangabaphangi bobona didi lubi. Sidinga World BEYOND War ukunceda ukwakha unqabiseko lokwenyaniso, ehlabathini lonke, unqabiseko olufumaneka ekoluleni izandla zobuhlobo nentlonelo.

Amajelo eendaba kutshanje agxininise kumthengisi wezixhobo waseRashiya, uMnu. Bout, waza wambiza ngokuba nguMrhwebi wokufa. Kodwa sijikelezwe kwaye singeniswa ngabaRhwebi boKufa kwihlabathi liphela ngendlela yabenzi bezixhobo.

Kufuneke si sinyuse imali ukuze siphakamise amazwi ethu, ukugxeka imfazwe kunye nokunceda ukuvakalisa izikhalo zawona maxhoba asesichengeni semfazwe.

Ngokuhlwanje, ndicinga ngokukodwa ngabantwana abakwiindawo ezineemfazwe, abantwana aboyikiswa ziziqhushumbisi, ugqogqo lwasebusuku, ukudubula kwemipu; abantwana abaphila phantsi kweemfazwe zokungqingwa kwezoqoqosho, abaninzi kubo balambe gqitha ukuba bangalila.

USalman Rushdie uthe "abo bathe bagxothwa yimfazwe ziziqwenga eziqaqambileyo ezibonisa inyani." World BEYOND War uzama, ngamandla, ukukhanyisa iinyaniso ngemfazwe, ukuphulaphula abo benzakala kakhulu kwiimfazwe, kwaye anikele ingqalelo kwiziseko, abachasi kunye nabafundisi.

Imfazwe ayisoze ibe yimpendulo. Ngaba sinokuyiphelisa imfazwe? Ndiyakholwa ukuba sinako kwaye kufuneka.

Enkosi ngokunceda World BEYOND War senze izicwangciso ezicingisiswe ngononophelo njengoko sifikelela kwaye sifunda kumaqela akhulayo amatsha ntliziyo kwilizwe ngalinye emhlabeni.

Yanga singakhahlela kwaye sikhokelwe ngabangcwele bexesha lethu. Kwanga singafumana ukuqonda kubomi bomnye nomnye kwaye sakhe umanyano olungadinwayo. Kwaye uDavid Hartsough angabanjwa ekukhanyeni. Khokela ngobubele ukukhanya. Khokela ku a World BEYOND War.
