Ngomhla woku-1 kuTshazimpuzi ka-2016 uMongameli uBarack Obama wathetha kwiseshoni yokuvala iNgqungquthela yoKhuseleko lweNyukliya waza wancoma “inzame ezihlangeneyo esizenzileyo ukunciphisa ubungakanani bezixhobo zenyukliya ezinokufikeleleka kubanqolobi emhlabeni jikelele.”
“Eli ikwalithuba lokuba izizwe zethu zihlale zimanyene kwaye zigxile kwezona zinqolobi zisebenzayo okwangoku, kwaye yi-ISIL,” utshilo u-Obama. Abanye abakhi-mkhanyo banokuphikisa ngelithi i-US, ngokwayo, ngoku imele “inethiwekhi yobunqolobi” yehlabathi. Ngokwenjenjalo, babeya kuba nje bephinda amazwi kaMfundisi uMartin Luther King Omnci. owathi, ngoAprili 4, 1967, wagxeka “oyena mbhexeshi mkhulu wogonyamelo ehlabathini namhlanje, urhulumente wam.”
Ngelixa u-Obama wayeyinyanisile into yokuba "uninzi lwezizwe ezilapha ziyinxalenye yomanyano lwehlabathi oluchasene ne-ISIL," uye waphawula ukuba lo mfelandawonye wawuyeyona ndlela iphambili yokugaya amajoni e-ISIS. "Phantse zonke izizwe zethu zibone abemi bejoyina i-ISIL eSyria nase-Iraq," u-Obama wavuma, ngaphandle kokunika ingcinga zokuba kutheni le meko ikhona.
Kodwa uninzi luka-Obama izimvo ezimangalisayo weza nokwamkelwa kwakhe esidlangalaleni ukuba umgaqo-nkqubo wamazwe angaphandle wase-US kunye nezenzo zomkhosi zinxulunyaniswa ngokuthe ngqo ne-spike kuhlaselo lobunqolobi ngokuchasene neenjongo zaseNtshona eYurophu nase-US. "Njengoko i-ISIL icinezelwe eSyria nase-Iraq," umongameli wachaza, "singayilindela ukuba ivele kwenye indawo, njengoko sibonile mva nje kwaye kabuhlungu kumazwe asuka eTurkey ukuya eBrussels."
Akuba efumanise ukuba uhlaselo olukhokelwa yi-US ngokuchasene nabalweli be-ISIS "babecinezela" i-jihadists ukuba izishiye izixeko ezirhangqwe eSyria nase-Iraq ukuze zenze umonakalo phakathi kwezixeko zamazwe angamalungu e-NATO, u-Obama wabonakala ephikisana ngokuthe ngqo novavanyo lwakhe: "ESiriya nase-Iraq, ” wathi, “I-ISIL isaqhubeka nokuphulukana nomhlaba. Ziindaba ezimnandi ezo.”
“Umanyano lwethu lusaqhubeka nokukhupha iinkokeli zalo, kuquka nezo ziceba uhlaselo lwangaphandle lwabanqolobi. Baphulukana neziseko zabo ze-oyile. Balahlekelwa yingeniso yabo. Isimilo siyasokola. Sikholelwa ukuba ukuhamba kwamajoni angaphandle ukuya eSyria nase-Iraq kuye kwacotha, nanjengoko isoyikiso esivela kumajoni angaphandle abuyela ukwenza izenzo zobundlobongela obumasikizi sihlala siyinyani. " [Ugxininiso longeziwe.]
Kubantu abaninzi baseMelika, uhlaselo lomkhosi lwePentagon kumazwe angamawaka eemayile ukusuka kumda wase-US luhlala lungaphezu kokuphazamiseka okuthe kratya kunye nokuphazamiseka okude-kufana namahemuhemu kunenyani. Kodwa umbutho wokubek' esweni wamazwe ngamazwe, i-Airwars.org, ibonelela ngomxholo ongekhoyo.
Ngoku ka Airwars uqikelelo, ukususela ngoMeyi 1, i-2016-phezu kwephulo lokulwa ne-ISIS eliye lahlala ngaphezu kweentsuku ze-634-i-coalition yayifake i-12,039 air strikes (8,163 e-Iraq; 3,851 eSiriya), iphosa iibhombu ze-41,607 kunye nemijukujelwa. .
Umkhosi wase-US utyhila ukuba abantu abasi-8 basweleke kwi-airstrikes ngokuchasene ne-ISIS phakathi kuka-Epreli noJulayi 2015 (Daily Mail).
I-Jihadist idibanisa ukubulawa kwe-US ekukhuleni kwengqumbo kunye nokuhlaselwa kwempindezelo
Ikhonkco lika-Obama phakathi kohlaselo lwe-ISIS kunye ne-blowback enegazi kwizitrato zaseNtshona mva nje libhengezwe nguHarry Sarfo owazalelwa eBritane, owayesebenza ngeposi e-UK kunye nowayesakuba ngumlweli we-ISIS. lumkisa Ezizimeleyo kudliwanondlebe lwe-29 ka-Epreli ukuba iphulo lokuqhunyiswa kwebhombu elikhokelwa yi-US ngokuchasene ne-ISIS liya kuqhuba kuphela ama-jihadists angaphezulu ukuqalisa uhlaselo lobunqolobi olujoliswe eNtshona.
“Iphulo lokuqhunyiswa kweziqhushumbisi libanika abantu abangakumbi, amadoda kunye nabantwana abaza kuvuma ukunikela ngobomi babo kuba baphulukene neentsapho zabo ngenxa yoqhushumbo,” ucacise watsho uSarfo. “Kuyo yonke ibhombu, kuya kubakho umntu oza kuzisa uloyiko eNtshona…. Banenqwaba yamadoda alindele ukuba kufike imikhosi yaseNtshona. Kubo isithembiso separadesi yinto nje abayifunayo.” (I-Pentagon iluvumile uxanduva lokusweleka kwabantu abaninzi ngexesha uSarfo esithi wayeseSyria.)
I-ISIS, ngecala layo, ihlala ikhankanya uhlaselo lomoya ngokuchasene neenqaba zayo njengesizathu sokuhlaselwa kwayo eBrussels naseParis-kunye nokuwisa kwayo inqwelomoya yabakhweli yaseRussia ibhabha iphuma eYiputa.
NgoNovemba ka-2015, iqela lamajoni laqhuba uhlaselo olwabulala abantu abayi-130 eParis kwalandela iziqhushumbisi ezingamawele ngoMatshi 23, 2016 ezathi zasuba ubomi bamanye amaxhoba angama-32 eBrussels. Kuyaqondakala ukuba, olu hlaselo lwapapashwa kakhulu kumajelo eendaba aseNtshona. Ngeli xesha, imifanekiso eyoyikeka ngokulinganayo yamaxhoba angamaxhoba ohlaselo lwase-US e-Afghanistan, eSyria nase-Iraq (kunye ne-US-backed airstrikes yase-Saudi ngokuchasene nabemi baseYemen) ayifane ibonwe kumaphepha angaphambili okanye kusasazo lweendaba zangokuhlwa eYurophu okanye e-US.
Ngokuthelekisa, i-Airwar.org ibika ukuba, kwiinyanga ezisibhozo ukususela ngo-Agasti 8, 2014 ukuya kuMeyi 2, 2016, "inani elipheleleyo phakathi kwe-2,699 kunye ne-3,625 yabantu ababulawa ngabantu abangabangeli ukulwa baye batyholwa ukusuka kwi-414 iziganeko ezixeliweyo ezahlukeneyo, zombini iIraq neSyria.”
Ukongeza kwezi ziganeko ziqinisekisiweyo, i-Airwars yongeza, "lumbono wethu wethutyana e-Airwars ukuba phakathi kwe-1,113 kunye ne-1,691 abantu abangalwiyo babonakala ngathi babulewe kwiziganeko ezili-172 apho kukho ingxelo enobulungisa efumaneka esidlangalaleni yomsitho- kunye nalapho ugwayimbo lweManyano lwaye lwaqinisekiswa kwindawo ekufutshane ngaloo mhla. Ubuncinci abantu abangama-878 baye bonzakele kwezi ziganeko. Ezimalunga nama-76 kwezi ziganeko zenzeka eIraq (abantu abangama-593 ukusa kwabangama-968 baye bafa) kunye neziganeko ezingama-96 eSyria (kunye nengxelo yokufa kwabantu abangama-520 ukusa kwabangama-723.)
'Ukhuseleko lweNyukliya' = Iziqhushumbisi zeAthom zaseNtshona
Ukubuyela eWashington, u-Obama wayesonga ingxelo yakhe esemthethweni. “Xa ndijonga kweli gumbi,” wancuma, “ndibona izizwe ezimele uninzi lwabantu-abasuka kwimimandla eyahlukeneyo, iintlanga, iinkolo, iinkcubeko. Kodwa abantu bethu babelana ngeminqweno efanayo yokuphila ngokhuseleko noxolo kwaye bakhululeke kuloyiko. ”
Ngoxa kukho amazwe ali-193 angamalungu eZizwe Ezimanyeneyo, iNgqungquthela Yokhuseleko Lwenyukliya yayizinyaswe ngabameli bamazwe angama-52, asixhenxe kuwo anezixhobo zenyukliya—nangona kukho izivumelwano ekudala kukho zezivumelwano zamazwe ngamazwe ezifuna ukuthotywa kwezixhobo zenyukliya nokupheliswa kwazo. Abazimasi baphinde babandakanya i-16 yamalungu angama-28 e-NATO-ijuggernaut yomkhosi enezixhobo zenyukliya ekwakufanele ukuba yachithwa emva kokuphela kweMfazwe Yomlomo.
Injongo yeNgqungquthela yoKhuseleko lweNyukliya yayimxinwa, igxile kwindlela yokuthintela “abanqolobi” ekufumaneni “ukhetho lwenyukliya.” Akuzange kuxutyushwe ngokuchithwa kwezixhobo eziphambili zehlabathi ezikhoyo zenyukliya.
Kwaye kwakungekho ngxoxo ngomngcipheko owenziwe zizixhobo zombane zenyukliya kunye neendawo zokugcina inkunkuma eqhumayo, zonke ezibeka iithagethi ezilingayo kuye nabani na onomjukujelwa obekwe emagxeni okwaziyo ukuguqula ezi ndawo zibe “ziibhombu ezimdaka ezikhule ekhaya.” (Le asiyomeko eqikelelwayo. NgoJanuwari 18, 1982, iiRocket Propelled Grenades (RPG-7s) ezintlanu zadutyulwa kuMlambo iRhone waseFransi, zabetha isiseko sesixhobo senyukliya seSuperphenix.)
"Umlo ochasene ne-ISIL uya kuqhubeka unzima, kodwa, kunye, senza inkqubela phambili," waqhubeka u-Obama. “Ndiqinisekile ukuba siza kuyoyisa size siyitshabalalise le ntlangano ingendawo. Xa kuthelekiswa nombono we-ISIL wokufa nentshabalalo, ndiyakholelwa ukuba izizwe zethu xa zidibene zinika umbono onethemba ogxile kwinto esinokuyakhela abantu bethu.
Lo “mbono unethemba” kunzima ukuwuqonda kubahlali abakumazwe amaninzi angaphandle ngoku abahlaselwa yimijukujelwa yesihogo somlilo eqaliswe kwiinqwelomoya zaseMelika kunye needrones. Ngelixa ividiyo ebonisa ukubulawa kwabantu eParis, eBrussels, Istanbul naseSan Bernardino isoyikisa ukuyibona, kubuhlungu kodwa kuyimfuneko ukuvuma ukuba umonakalo owenziwe ngumjukujelwa omnye wase-US odutyulwe kwindawo yasedolophini unokuba yingozi ngakumbi.
Ulwaphulo-mthetho lweMfazwe: Ukuqhushumba kwe-US kwiYunivesithi yaseMosul
Ngo-Matshi 19 kwaye kwakhona ngo-Matshi 20, iinqwelomoya zase-US zahlasela iYunivesithi yaseMosul e-ISIS ehlala empuma ye-Iraq. Uhlaselo lwasemoyeni lwafika emva kwemini, ngexesha apho inkampu yayixinene kakhulu.
I-US yaqhushumbisa ikomkhulu leYunivesithi, ikholeji yemfundo yabasetyhini, ikholeji yesayensi, iziko lokushicilela, iindawo zokulala zamantombazana, kunye nevenkile yokutyela ekufutshane. I-US iphinde yaqhushumba kwisakhiwo sokuhlala samalungu e-faculty. Abafazi nabantwana bamalungu e-faculty babephakathi kwamaxhoba: mnye kuphela umntwana osindileyo. Unjingalwazi uDhafer al Badrani, owayesakuba yiDini yeKholeji yeNzululwazi yeKhompyutha yeyunivesithi, wabulawa kuhlaselo lwangoMatshi 20, kunye nenkosikazi yakhe.
Ngokutsho kukaDkt. Souad Al-Azzawi, owathumela ividiyo yebhombu (ngasentla), inani lokuqala lokulimala laliyi-92 yabulawa kwaye i-135 yenzakala. U-Al-Azzawi ubhale wathi: “Ukubulala abantu abamsulwa akuyi kuyicombulula ingxaki ye-ISIL, endaweni yoko kuyakunyanzela abantu abaninzi ukuba bazibandakanye nabo ukuze bakwazi ukuziphindezela ngenxa yelahleko yabo kunye nabo babathandayo.
Umsindo obangela i-ISIS
Ukongeza kwii-airstrikes zokubulala abantu, uHarry Sarfo wanikela enye inkcazo yokuba kutheni waqhutyelwa ukujoyina i-ISIS-ukuxhatshazwa kwamapolisa. USarfo ukhumbula kabuhlungu indlela awanyanzelwa ngayo ukuba anikezele incwadi yakhe yokundwendwela yaseBritane aze aye kwisikhululo samapolisa kabini ngeveki nendlela ikhaya lakhe laligqogqwa ngalo. “Bendifuna ukuqala ubomi obutsha kum nenkosikazi yam,” uxelele I-Independent. “Amapolisa nabasemagunyeni bayitshabalalisa. Bandenze ndaba yiloo ndoda babeyifuna.”
USarfo ekugqibeleni wayishiya i-ISIS ngenxa yomthwalo onyukayo wezenzo zenkohlakalo kwanyanzeleka ukuba ahlangabezane nazo. “Ndibone ukuxulutywa ngamatye, ukunqunyulwa intloko, ukudutyulwa, ukunqunyulwa kwezandla nezinye izinto ezininzi,” uxelele I-Independent. “Ndikhe ndabona abantwana abangamajoni—amakhwenkwe aneminyaka eli-13 ubudala enxibe iibhanti eziqhumayo neeKalashnikov. Amanye amakhwenkwe ade aqhube iimoto aze abandakanyeke ekubulaweni kwabantu.
“Eyona nto ndiyikhumbulayo kukubulawa kwamadoda amathandathu adutyulwe entloko nguKalashnikovs. Ukunqunyulwa kwesandla somntu nokwenza ukuba asibambe ngesinye isandla. Umbuso wamaSilamsi awukho nje u-Islamic, awunabuntu. Umzalwana onegazi wabulala umninawa wakhe kuba erhanelwa ngokuba yintlola. Bamyalela ukuba ambulale. Ngabahlobo ababulala abahlobo.”
Kodwa nangona i-ISIS inokuba mbi, okwangoku, abawubhinqi umhlaba ngaphezu kwe-1,000 yemikhosi yomkhosi kunye nezixhobo kwaye abasoyikisi iplanethi ngezixhobo ze-2,000 ze-XNUMX zemijukujelwa yenyukliya exhobileyo ye-intercontinental, isiqingatha sayo esiseleyo. "Iinwele-zixhokonxa" isilumkiso.
