"Sukulila apha," umakhulu wase-Okinawan oneminyaka engama-86 endandingazange ndadibana naye ngaphambili. Uye wema ecaleni kwam wandibamba isandla. Ndandindwendwele usapho lwam e-Okinawa kunye nabantwana bam abane ekuqaleni kuka-Agasti kwaye ndandiye eHenoko, kumantla mpuma wesiqithi sethu esikhulu, ukuya kujoyina noqhankqalazo lokulwa nokufuduswa komkhosi wase-US kwisikhululo somoya sase-US ukusuka e-Futenma, embindini wesithili sasezidolophini, ukuya eCamp Schwab, kwingingqi ekude engaselunxwemeni. Intombi yam eselula, uKaiya, kunye nam sasichithe usuku kunye nesihlwele sabadala siphethe iimpawu zoqhankqalazo phambi kwamasango eCamp Schwab. Imiqolo kunye nemiqolo yeelori ezingaphezu kwama-400 ezirhuqa amatye amakhulu adlulayo, zilungele ukuveza indawo yolwandle kwisiseko esitsha, esilingana nobukhulu beebhola zebhola ezingama-383. Indalo yethu entle, netropiki kunye nayo yonke into eyabhengezwa kwilizwe lonke neyakhuselweyo yayiza kutyunyuzwa kungekudala, kutshabalalisa ikorale kunye nolwandle. Oku, ngaphandle kwenkcaso enkulu yabantu besiqithi saseMthonyama. Ndiqale ukukhala ndibambe uphawu lwam loqhankqalazo.
“Umakhulu uzakukhala xa ndifika ekhaya ngokuhlwanje ngoko ke ndizakube ndilila nawe,” watsho encwina isandla sam. "Apha, silwa kunye." Sasibukele njengoko iilori zazingena ngesango lezempi apho amapolisa aseJapan ayesityhalele kude ngaphambili. Zehle iinyembezi wathi, “ngekhe ibengumnqa ukuba sonke singaxhuma phambi kwazo zonke ezo lori, kuba lulwandle lwethu olu. Esi sisiqithi sethu. ”
Iinyanga ezine zidlulile okoko ndangenela abadala baseOkinawan ekhaya kwaye uninzi luye lwaqhubeka nokubamba ii-sit-veki ngeveki-ezinye, yonke imihla-ngaphandle kokuba zisuswe ngamandla ngamapolisa aseJapan. Okwangoku, iibhloko zekhonkrithi kunye nemivalo yesinyithi iphoselwe elwandle ngaphezulu kwekorale ukucacisa apho isiseko siza kwakhiwa khona. Irhuluneli uTakeshi Onaga, owayephumelele ekumiseni ukwakhiwa kwesiseko, wasweleka ngenxa yomhlaza ngo-Agasti kwaye abantu base-Okinawan banyula irhuluneli entsha, u-Denny Tamaki, sisininzi-esisekwe kwisithembiso sakhe sokuba uza kuyeka ukutshatyalaliswa kwe-Henoko. Ngaphezulu kwama-75,000 ama-Okinawans abonakalise kuqhankqalazo olubanzi lwesiqithi ngexesha lesaqhwithi ukubonisa ilizwe ukuba siluchasa kangakanani olu lwakhiwo lwesiseko. Ukanti, urhulumente ophakathi waseJapan ubhengeze ukuba nge-13 kaDisemba (i-UST) -Lwesine-baya kuphinda baqhubeke nokugcwalisa umhlaba ngesanti nekhonkrithi. Abasemagunyeni bathi ukwakha isiseko esitsha seHenoko kuyimfuneko ukuze kugcinwe umanyano lokhuseleko e-US-Japan; kunye neenkokheli zikarhulumente wase-US bayikhupha indawo yesiseko kukhuseleko lwengingqi.
Ulwakhiwo lwesiseko saseHenoko senziwe yimbali yekoloniyali kunye nobuhlanga ngokuchasene neOkinawans, kunye nokuchasana kwethu ngokuqhubekayo njengoko sizama ukuphelisa ixesha elide lokuhlala kwe-US. UOkinawa wayekhe waba bubukumkani obuzimeleyo; yathinjwa yiJapan ngenkulungwane ye-17 kwaye ngexesha leMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi yaba lixhoba ledabi elaphalaza igazi kakhulu kwimbali yePacific, apho ngaphezulu kwesithathu sabantu bethu babulawa zingaphelanga iinyanga ezintathu, kubandakanya namalungu osapho lwam. Amashumi asithoba anesibini eepesenti abantu baseOkinawa basala bengenamakhaya.
I-United States emva koko yathatha umhlaba kubantu base-Okinawan, yenza iziseko zomkhosi, yanyanzelisa nomgaqo-siseko omtsha eJapan ethathe ilungelo laseJapan lokuba nomkhosi ohlaselayo. Ukusukela ngoku, umkhosi wase-US "uyakukhusela" iJapan ngeziseko ezikuloo mmandla waseJapan. Nangona kunjalo, ikota ezintathu zazo zonke iziseko zase-US kwimimandla yaseJapan zise-Okinawa, nangona i-Okinawa yenza kuphela iipesenti ezi-0.6 zelizwe lonke elilawulwa yiJapan. Isiqithi esikhulu sase-Okinawa sisodwa ziimayile ezingama-62 ubude, kunye ne-avareji yemayile enye ububanzi. Kulapha apho iminyaka engama-73 yokuhlala e-US idale ukonakaliswa kwendalo, ungcoliseko lomoya kunye nongcoliseko lwengxolo, kunye nokuveza abasindileyo kunye neentsapho kwimiboniso nakwizandi zemfazwe. Rhoqo ulwaphulo-mthetho olunobundlobongela kwabasetyhini nasebantwaneni ngabasebenzi basejoni baseMelika bahlala bezisa amawaka amawaka ababhikishi ukuba bafune ubulungisa kunye nobuntu kunye nokususwa ngokupheleleyo kweziseko zaseMelika.
Kwaye umsebenzi uyaqhubeka. Ngoku, urhulumente ophakathi waseJapan unyanzelisa ukwakhiwa kwesinye isiseko-esi kulwandle uqobo, kwingingqi yaseHenoko eOkinawa. Esi sahluko sitsha kuhlaselo oluqhubekayo lwase-Okinawa aluyikhathaleli inkululeko, ukuzimela kunye namalungelo oluntu aqinisekiswe zizigqibo zeZizwe eziManyeneyo. Abantu base-Okinawan bavotele kakhulu ukuchasa ukwakhiwa kwesiseko-ngaphezulu kweminyaka eyi-20, okoko isindululo sacetyiswayo okokuqala.
Indawo yokuhlala elwandle yaseHenoko yindawo yesibini kuphela kwiGreat Barrier Reef kwindalo ephilayo. Ngaphezulu kweentlobo ezingama-5,300 ezihlala e-Oura Bay, kubandakanya ne-262 yezilwanyana ezisengozini yokuphela njenge-dolphin-like dugong kunye ne-turtle yolwandle. Sele kule veki, iRyukyu Shimpo inike ingxelo yokuba ezimbini ze-dugong ezibekwe esweni zilahlekile, kunye noqikelelo lokuba inqanaba lokwakha sele lithintele amandla abo okutya kwiibhedi zaselwandle.
Kum, umzabalazo kaHenoko umalunga nokuhlonipha ubukho babantu bam kunye nelungelo lethu lokukhusela umhlaba wethu wokuzalwa. Ndifumana inkuthazo kuqhankqalazo lwabafundi base-Australia lokumisa inkampani yamalahle i-Adani ekwakheni imigodi yamalahle eQueensland, nakwintshukumo yabantu baseKanaka Maoli ukuvimba ukutshatyalaliswa kweMauna Kea eHawaii ngeteleskopu enemigangatho eli-18. UOkinawa likhaya lam, likhaya lam lokhokho. Ukutshatyalaliswa akunakulinganiswa.
Ewe, okwenzekayo eOkinawa ayisiyiyo ingqumbo eyedwa. I-United States ine-800 yeziseko zomkhosi ngaphezulu kwamazwe e-70 kwihlabathi liphela. Kwaye nganye yezi ndawo zinjalo, okanye zazikho, amakhaya abantu - njengabantu bam eOkinawa. Intshabalalo kaHenoko yinxalenye ye-impiriyali enkulu yase-US. Kwenzeka ntoni kwimicimbi yaseOkinawa kubantu bomthonyama kuyo yonke indawo. Kwenzeka ntoni kwimicimbi yase-Okinawa yokulwa nobukhosi kuyo yonke indawo. Kwenzeka ntoni kwimicimbi yase-Okinawa yezinto eziphilayo ezinqabileyo kuyo yonke indawo.
Njengoko ndibhala, ndifumana iingxelo ezivela eOkinawa ndibhengeza ukufika kweenqanawa ezininzi ezithwele isanti kunye nekhonkrithi zilungele ukuthulula uluhlu lwendawo yehektare ezingama-205. Ngeentsuku ezine kuphela ezishiyekileyo ngaphambi kokutshatyalaliswa kwendalo engenakuphikiswa, omnye umlweli wase-Okinawan waseMelika kwaye ndenze iphulo le-hashtag lokufuna ukumiswa kolwakhiwo olusisiseko eHenoko: #standwithokinawa.
Nceda uthumele umyalezo wakho wobumbano, ufuna ukuba abameli bakho bathathe inxaxheba ekukhuseleni uHenoko, kwaye unxibelelane nemibutho kunye namahlakani ukusinceda silwele amalungelo ethu njengabantu baseOkinawan. Ukongeza, cwangcisa iinzame zomanyano lwamazwe aphesheya ukukhulisa ukungxamiseka kokumiswa kolwakhiwo lwesiseko. Sayina uxwebhu lwezikhalazo kuMongameli uTrump efuna ukuba iUnited States iyeke ukugcwaliswa komhlaba kukaHenoko https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/stop-landfill-henoko-oura-bay-until-referendum-can-be-held-okinawa.
Ngamazwi omnye u-antie owayehleli kule hlotyana igqithileyo, “khange ibe ngoorhulumente okanye abezopolitiko abaye bayekisa ulwakhiwo lweeheliport kule minyaka mihlanu idlulileyo. Ibingabantu abaqhelekileyo; amavolontiya, abantu abadala kunye nabantu abakhathalele i-Okinawa. Kwaye iya kuba ngubani otshintsha oku ngoku. Abantu abaqhelekileyo, abaninzi, abaninzi bethu kunye. ” Sidinga umhlaba kunye nathi. Yima no-Okinawa.
