Ekuqaleni kwale veki, uJinshiro Motoyama wabeka ibhanile ngaphandle kweofisi yenkulumbuso yaseJapan, wahlala esitulweni esisongwayo, yaye wayeka ukutya. Yayisisenzo esimangalisayo, kodwa itshantliziyo elineminyaka engama-30 ubudala likholelwa ukuba amanyathelo angxamisekileyo ayafuneka ukuphelisa ixesha elide. Ubukho bomkhosi wase-US kwindawo yakhe yokuzalwa, e-Okinawa.
Ibekwe malunga ne-1,000 yeemayile kumazantsi eTokyo kuLwandle lwase-China oluseMpuma, i-Okinawa lisuntswana elwandle eliquka i-0.6% yomhlaba wonke waseJapan kodwa ibamba malunga ne-70% yeziseko zomkhosi zase-US. Japhan kunye nesiqingatha semikhosi yayo engama-47,000 XNUMX.
Njengesiqithi, indawo yomnye we amadabi anegazi yemfazwe yasePasifiki, ilungiselela ngeCawa ukuphawula iminyaka eyi-50 ukususela ekubeni yabuyiselwa eJapan ulongamo ukusuka kulawulo lwasemva kwemfazwe yase-US, i-Motoyama ayinamoya wokubhiyozela.
"Urhulumente waseJapan ufuna ukuba kubekho umoya wokubhiyozela, kodwa oko akunakwenzeka xa ucinga ukuba imeko kwiziseko zase-US ayikasonjululwa," umfundi oneminyaka engama-30 ubudala uxelele iintatheli ngoLwesihlanu, umhla wesihlanu wendlala yakhe. ugwayimbo.
Uye wavuma ukuba i-1.4 yezigidi zabantu base-Okinawa baye baba zizityebi ngakumbi - nangona ukuqokelela kweziqithi kusesona sihlwempu kwi-47 prefectures yaseJapan - kwisiqingatha senkulungwane edlulileyo, kodwa wathi isiqithi sisaphathwa njenge-quasi-colonial outpost.
“Owona mba mkhulu ukusukela ekubuyeleni Japhan, kwaye ukususela ekupheleni kwemfazwe yehlabathi yesibini, ubukho be Umkhosi waseMelika iziseko, ezakhiwe ngokungafaniyo e-Okinawa. ”
Ingxoxo-mpikiswano ngonyawo lomkhosi wase-US ilawulwa likamva le Futenma, i-US marine Corps airbase ephakathi kwesixeko esinabemi abaninzi, ukuya kwindawo engaselunxwemeni e-Henoko, idolophana yokuloba kwindawo esemantla esemantla esiqithi esikhulu sase-Okinawan.
Abagxeki bathi isiseko se-Henoko siza kutshabalalisa i-ecosystem ye-ecosystem yendawo yaselwandle kwaye isoyikise ukhuseleko lwabahlali be-2,000 abahlala kufuphi nesiza.
Ukuchaswa kwe Umkhosi waseMelika Ubukho e-Okinawa bunyuke emva kokubanjwa kuka-1995 kunye nokudlwengulwa kwentombazana eneminyaka eli-12 ubudala ngabasebenzi abathathu base-US. Ngomnyaka olandelayo, iJapan kunye ne-US yavuma ukunciphisa i-US footprint ngokuhambisa abasebenzi be-Futenma kunye ne-hardware yezempi kwi-Henoko. Kodwa uninzi lwabantu base-Okinawa bafuna ukuba isiseko esitsha sakhiwe kwenye indawo eJapan.
Irhuluneli echasene nesiseko saseOkinawa, UDenny Tamaki, ufungele ukulwa nokuhamba kwe-Henoko - isikhundla esixhaswe ngaphezu kwe-70% yabavoti kwi-prefecture-wide 2019-wide Sompempe ukuba uMotoyama uncedise ukulungelelanisa.
Kwintlanganiso emfutshane kule veki kunye nenkulumbuso yaseJapan, uFumio Kishida, uTamaki wambongoza ukuba asombulule ingxabano yesiseko seHenoko ngengxoxo. "Ndiyathemba ukuba urhulumente uya ... azivume ngokupheleleyo iimbono ze-Okinawans," utshilo uTamaki, unyana wenkosikazi yaseJapan kunye nomkhosi waselwandle wase-US angazange adibane naye.
Ekuphenduleni, unobhala oyintloko wekhabhinethi, u-Hirokazu Matsuno, uthe urhulumente ujolise ekunciphiseni umthwalo wesiqithi, kodwa wagxininisa ukuba akukho ndlela yokwakhiwa kwesiseko esitsha eHenoko.
UMotoyama, ofuna ukuba kupheliswe ngokukhawuleza umsebenzi wokwakha kunye nokuncipha okukhulu kumkhosi wase-US, utyhola urhulumente waseJapan ngokutyeshela intando yedemokhrasi yabantu base-Okinawan.
“Yala nje ukwamkela iziphumo zovoto,” utshilo. “Kuza kude kube nini abantu baseOkinawa benyamezele le meko? Ngaphandle kokuba ingxaki yesiseko somkhosi isonjululwe, ukuhlehla kunye nentlekele yemfazwe yehlabathi yesibini ayinakuze iphele ngokwenene kubantu baseOkinawa.”
Ngobusuku besikhumbuzo sokuphela kokuhlala kwe-US e-Okinawa, inkcaso yasekhaya kubukho bomkhosi wase-US ihlala iphezulu.
I-poll yephephandaba i-Asahi Shimbun kunye nemibutho yeendaba yase-Okinawan yafumanisa ukuba i-61% yabantu basekuhlaleni bafuna iziseko ezimbalwa zase-US kwisiqithi, ngelixa i-19% yathi bayonwabile ngesimo se-quo.
Abaxhasi bendima eqhubekayo "yenqaba i-Okinawa" bakhomba kwiingozi zokhuseleko ezibangelwa yi-nuclear exhobile eNyakatho Korea kunye ne-China eqinile ngakumbi, i-navy yayo isanda kwandisa imisebenzi yayo emanzini kufuphi ne-Okinawa, kunye neejethi zokulwa zithatha kwaye zihlala kwinqwelomoya. carrier Liaoning yonke imihla ngaphezu kweveki.
Uloyiko eJapan lokuba iChina inokuzama ukuphinda ithathe iTaiwan okanye ibange ngenkani ingxabano Iziqithi zaseSenkaku – ebekwe ngaphantsi kweemayile ezingama-124 (200km) ukusuka apho iRussia yahlasela iUkraine.
AmaLungu ePalamente avela kwiqela elilawulayo laseJapan iLiberal Democratic acele ilizwe ukuba lifumane imijukujelwa enokuthi ibethe indawo ekujoliswe kuyo kwindawo yotshaba-izixhobo ezinokuthi zibekwe kwenye yezinto ezincinci zaseOkinawa “phambili” iziqithi.
Ukunyuka kweengxabano kummandla kwenze ukuba i-Okinawa ibe yinjongo, kungekhona ilitye lembombo lokuthintela, ngokutsho kukaMasaaki Gabe, uprofesa ophumayo kwiYunivesithi yaseRyukyus, owayeneminyaka eyi-17 xa umsebenzi wase-US uphelile. "I-Okinawa iya kuba phambili kwimeko yemfazwe okanye impixano phakathi kweJapan neTshayina," utshilo uGabe. “Emva kweminyaka engama-50, ukuziva ungakhuselekanga kusaqhubeka.”
UMotoyama wavuma. "Ndiyakholelwa ukuba kukho umngcipheko wokuba i-Okinawa ingaphinda ibe yindawo yedabi," watsho ebhekisa kuhlaselo lwemikhosi yase-US ngo-Epreli 1945 apho abantu abangama-94,000 - malunga nekota yabemi base-Okinawa - bafa, kunye namajoni angama-94,000 aseJapan. kunye ne-12,500 yemikhosi yase-US.
Iimfuno zabahlali base-Okinawa zokunciphisa umthwalo wabo ngokufudusa amaziko omkhosi wase-US kwezinye iindawo zaseJapan azihoywanga. Urhulumente ukwalile ukulungisa isivumelwano semikhosi yaseJapan-US, abathi abagxeki bakhusela abasebenzi base-US abatyholwa. ulwaphulo-mthetho olunobuzaza, kuquka ukudlwengulwa.
UJeff Kingston, umlawuli wezifundo zaseAsia kwiYunivesithi yaseTempile yaseJapan, uthe uyathandabuza ukuba abantu abaninzi baseOkinawa baya kubhiyozela iminyaka engama-50 edlulileyo phantsi kolawulo lwaseJapan.
“Abaxolanga kukubuyela umva kuba umkhosi wase-US uhleli uzinzile,” utshilo. “Abantu basekuhlaleni abacingi ngeziseko njengekhaka kodwa bacinge njengeenjongo. Kwaye ulwaphulo-mthetho kunye neengxaki zokusingqongileyo ezinxulumene neziseko zithetha ukuba abantu baseMelika bayaqhubeka nokwamkela. "
UMotoyama, ongakhange adibane namagosa karhulumente waseJapan, uthe uya kuqhubeka noqhankqalazo lwakhe lokulamba de kube ngumhla weCawa, nangona ugxekwa kumajelo asekuhlaleni ukuba akukho nto.
“Ndifuna abantu bacinge ukuba kutheni kufuneka ndenze le nto,” watsho. “Noko kunjalo, abantu baseOkinawa bavakalisa amazwi abo, nokuba benza ntoni na, abahoywa ngurhulumente waseJapan. Akukho nto itshintshileyo kwiminyaka engama-50. ”
I-Reuters ifake ingxelo.
I mpendulo
Ndiyabulela i-WBW ngokwabelana ngalo mzekelo wokuchasa e-Okinawa, uBukumkani bangaphambili be-Liu Chiu (Ryūkyū) obulawulwa yi-Imperial Japan ehlala ikoloni yomkhosi efana noBukumkani baseHawaii. Nangona kunjalo, nceda uyilungise: Uchonga lo mkhuseli womhlaba we-Uchinānchu (Okinawan) njengowaseJapan! Ewe, unokuba ngummi waseJapan - kodwa kuyafana nendlela iSizwe sokuQala, isiHawaii, njl.njl. Abantu banokubizwa ngokuba "ngummi waseMelika," ngokuchasene nentando yabo. Nceda uhloniphe izazisi zemveli kunye nemizabalazo ngokungachongi ngumkoloni wabo. Kule meko, abantu base-Okinawa baye baphathwa kakubi kumkhosi waseJapan nase-USA, kwaye ngoku ezi zizwe zibini zabahlali basebenzisana nomkhosi oqhubekayo, ngoku ukwandisa ngokunyuka kwemikhosi yaseJapan "Yokuzikhusela" kulo lonke ichweba imfazwe neTshayina kunye nemfazwe yamakhaya kunye neTaiwan (iTaiwanese yanamhlanje ayingobantu bomthonyama besiqithi, kodwa abahlali bezopolitiko ababaleki).
