UKathy Kelly: Ividiyo enombhalo-ngoFebruwari 20, 2018.
U-Kathy Kelly, ngo-Feb 15 2018, uthetha nge-NY's "Stony Point Centre" echaza imbali yokuchasana ngoxolo kunye nentlekele eyenziwe yi-US e-Yemen. Akakabi nalo ithuba lokuphonononga lo mbhalo uqhotyoshelweyo.
I-TRANSCRIPT:
Ke, enkosi kakhulu ku-Erin ekucacileyo ukuba waye wabuza umbuzo othi "Siza kwenza ntoni ngeYemen?" kwaye leyo yayiyinxalenye yoko kubangele ukuhlangana kwethu apha namhlanje; noSusan, enkosi kakhulu ngokundimema ukuba ndize kundithatha; kubantu beZiko leStony Point, linyhweba ukuba lapha kunye nani kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo, ngokufanayo kubo bonke abezayo, nokuba kunye naba balingane.
Ndicinga ukuba ukungxamiseka kwendibano yethu ngobu busuku kuboniswa ngamazwi awathi uMuhammad bin Salman, inkosana yesithsaba yaseSaudi Arabia, wathetha kwintetho kamabonakude e-Saudi Arabia nge-2 kaMeyi ka-2017 xa wathi imfazwe ende “kwilizwe lethu. umdla”- malunga nemfazwe yaseYemen. Wathi, "Ixesha lisecaleni lethu" malunga nemfazwe yaseYemen.
Kwaye ndibona oko kungxamisekile ngakumbi kuba kusenokwenzeka ukuba iNkosana yesiGqeba, uMuhammad bin Salman, othe ngazo zonke iiakhawunti umququzeleli wokuthatha inxaxheba komanyano olukhokelwa yiSaudi ekwandiseni imfazwe eYemen, uzakuza eUnited States - e-United States. EBritani bakwazile ukutyhalela emva ukufika kwakhe apho: kwakukho intshukumo eyomeleleyo, ekhokelwa ngamaQuaker aselula, eneneni, e-UK - kwaye mhlawumbi uya kuza eUnited States kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo, ukuba olo hambo luyenzeka, ukuya eNew York, kwaye ndiyacinga ukuba oko kusinika ithuba lokutsho kuye, kwaye kubo bonke abantu abagxile kuye, ukuba ixesha alikho kwicala labemi ababandezeleka ngokugqithisileyo; yaye imeko yabo iya kuchazwa ngokubhekele phaya ngalo lonke ixesha lokuhlwa sikunye.
Ndiye ndacelwa ukuba ndithethe kancinci malunga nemfazwe, imbali yemfazwe kunye neemfazwe zeproxy kunye nezizathu. kwaye, Kwaye ndifuna ukuthetha ngokuzithoba kakhulu ku [] ukuba ndiyazi ukuba nawuphi na umntwana, kwindawo yemarike yaseYemeni, ethengisa amandongomane ekoneni, uya kuhlala esazi ngakumbi malunga nenkcubeko kunye nembali yaseYemen kunokuba ndinako. Into endiyifundileyo kule minyaka idlulileyo ngeVoices for Creative Nonviolence kukuba ukuba siyalinda side sibe sigqibelele siya kulinda ixesha elide kakhulu; ngoko ke ndiza kusebenza nje.
Ndicinga ukuba indawo enye yokuqalisa kukwi-Arab Spring. Njengoko yaqala ukuvela kwi-2011 e-Bahrain, kwi-Pearl Mosque, i-Arab Spring yayiyimbonakalo enesibindi kakhulu. Ngokukwanjalo naseYemen, kwaye ubukhulu becala ndifuna ukuthi abantu abancinci baseYemen babeke ubomi babo emngciphekweni ngobuhle ukuphakamisa izikhalazo. Ngoku, zeziphi ezo zikhalazo ziphembelela abantu ukuba bathathe amanyathelo obugorha? Ewe, zonke ziyinyani namhlanje kwaye zizinto abantu abangenakuhlala nazo: Ngaphantsi kobuzwilakhe beminyaka eyi-33 ka-Ali Abdullah Saleh, izibonelelo zaseYemen azizange zisasazwe kwaye zabelwane ngayo nayiphi na indlela elinganayo nabantu baseYemeni. ; kwakukho i-elitism, i-cronyism ukuba uyathanda; ngoko ke iingxaki ebezingamele zityeshelwe zazisiya zisiba mbi.
Enye ingxaki yayikukuthotywa kwamanzi. Aniyihoyi loo nto, nabalimi benu abanakulima, nabelusi abanakwalusa imihlambi yabo, ngoko ke abantu baya bephelelwa lithemba; kwaye abantu ababephelelwe lithemba babesiya ezidolophini yaye izixeko zazizaliswe ngabantu, abantu abaninzi ngakumbi kunokuba babenokubamkela, ngokuphathelele ilindle nogutyulo nokhathalelo lwempilo nemfundo.
Kwaye kwakhona, eYemen kwakukho ukucuthwa kwinkxaso yepetroli, kwaye oku kwakuthetha ukuba abantu babengenakuthutha iimpahla; kwaye ke uqoqosho lwaludodobala koko, intswela-ngqesho yayisiya inyuka ngokunyuka, kwaye abafundi baseyunivesithi abaselula baqonda, “Akukho msebenzi kum xa ndithweswa isidanga,” baza ke badibana.
Kodwa aba bantu baselula babephawuleka nangenxa yokuba babesiqonda isidingo sokwenza izinto ezifanayo kungekuphela nje kwizifundiswa kunye namagcisa awayezinze, athi, Ta'iz, okanye nemibutho eyomeleleyo yaseSana'a, kodwa bafikelela kwimigudu yabo. kubafuyi: amadoda, ngokomzekelo, angazange ashiye amakhaya awo engaphathanga imipu yawo; baza babacenga ukuba bayishiye imipu ekhaya baze baphume baze babandakanyeke kwiimbonakaliso ezingenalugonyamelo nasemva kokuba abanxibe mpahla imfutshane badubule kwindawo ebizwa ngokuba yi-“Change Square” ababeyimise eSana’a, baza babulala abantu abangamashumi amahlanu.
Ingqeqesho aba bantu baselula bayigcinayo yayimangalisa: balungiselela uhambo lweekhilomitha ezingama-200 behamba kunye nabafuyi, kunye nabalimi, abantu abaqhelekileyo, kwaye bahamba besuka eTaiz baya eSana'a. Abanye oogxa babo babevalelwe kwiintolongo ezimanyumnyezi, yaye bazila ukutya ixesha elide ngaphandle kwentolongo.
Ndiyathetha, iphantse yangathi baneGene Sharp's, uyazi, itheyibhile yeziqulatho, kwaye bebehamba ngeendlela ezingenabugorha abanokusebenzisa. Kwaye babenendawo nje malunga neengxaki eziphambili iYemen eyayijongene nazo. Bekufanele ukuba banikwe ilizwi: Bekufanele ukuba babandakanywe kulo naluphi na uthethathethwano; abantu bekufanele ukuba babubusise ubukho babo.
Babekwa ecaleni, abazange bahoywe, kwandula ke kwaqhambuka imfazwe yamakhaya yaye iindlela ababezama ukuzisebenzisa aba bantu baselula zaba yingozi ngakumbi.
Kwaye ndifuna ukuphawula ukuba, ngeli xesha eMzantsi Yemen, i-United Arab Emirates, inxalenye yombutho okhokelwa yiSaudi, iqhuba iintolongo ezilishumi elinesibhozo. Phakathi kweendlela zokungcungcuthekisa, ezibhalwe yiAmnesty International kunye neHuman Rights Watch, yileyo apho umzimba womntu uthe wagalelwa amathe ajikeleza phezu komlilo ovulekileyo.
Ngoko xa ndizibuza, “Ke, kwenzeka ntoni kwaba bantu baselula?” Ewe, xa ujongene nentuthumbo enokwenzeka, ukuvalelwa entolongweni kumaqela amaninzi, xa kuqhambuka isiphithiphithi, xa kuba yingozi kakhulu ukuthetha, ndiyazi ukuba ngenxa yokhuseleko lwam nokhuseleko kufuneka ndilumke kakhulu malunga nokubuza ukuba “uphi na loo ntshukumo?"
Kwaye xa ubuyela kwimbali ka-Ali Abdullah Saleh: Ngenxa yoonozakuzaku abanobuchule kakhulu, kwaye ngenxa yeBhunga leNtsebenziswano yeGulf eyayi - amazwe ahlukeneyo amele eli bhunga kwi-peninsula yaseSaudi, kwaye ngenxa yokuba abantu ngokubanzi ababeyinxalenye aba bantu abaphezulu babengafuni ukuphulukana namandla abo, u-Saleh wayenqandekile. Unozakuzaku onobuchule kakhulu - igama lakhe yayinguAl Ariani - wayengomnye wabantu abakwaziyo ukwenza abantu beze kwitafile yothethathethwano.
Kodwa aba bafundi, abameli be-Arab Spring, abantu abamele ezi zikhalazo ezahlukeneyo, abazange bafakwe.
Kwaye njengoko u-Saleh ephuma emnyango emva kweminyaka engama-33 yobuzwilakhe wathi, "Ewe, ndiza kumisela indlalifa yam," kwaye wamisela u-Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi. UHadi ngoku ungumongameli owaziwayo kwihlabathi laseYemen; kodwa akangomongameli onyuliweyo, akuzange kubekho lunyulo: wonyulwa.
Ngexesha elithile emva kokuba uSaleh emkile, kwabakho uhlaselo kwindawo yakhe; abanye babagcini bakhe benzakala baza babulawa. Naye ngokwakhe wangxwelerhwa kwaye kwathatha iinyanga ukuba aphile; kwaye wagqiba kwelokuba “yiloo nto.” Wagqiba ekubeni enze isivumelwano nabantu awayekade ebatshutshisa kwaye esilwa nabo, ababephakathi kweqela elibizwa ngokuba ngabavukeli baseHouthi. Bexhobile ke, bangena eSana'a, bayithimba. Umongameli owaziwayo kwihlabathi, u-Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi, wabaleka: usahlala e-Riadh, kwaye yiyo loo nto sithetha "ngemfazwe yommeli" ngoku.
Imfazwe yamakhaya yaqhubeka, kodwa ngoMatshi ka-2015, iSaudi Arabia yagqiba, "Ewe, siza kungena kulo mfazwe kwaye simele ulawulo lukaHadi." Kwaye xa bangena, bangena kunye ne-cache epheleleyo yezixhobo, kwaye phantsi kolawulo luka-Obama, zathengiswa (kwaye Boeing, Raytheon, la maqumrhu amakhulu athanda ukuthengisa izixhobo kwi-Saudis kuba bahlawula imali kwi-barrelhead) bathengiswa iinqanawa zokulwa ezine: “littoral” ithetha ukuba zinokuhamba ecaleni konxweme. Kwaye imiqobo yaqala ukusebenza nto leyo enegalelo elikhulu kwindlala, ekungakwazini ukusasaza izinto ebezifuneka ngamandla.
Bathengiswa inkqubo ye-missile ye-Patriot; bathengiswa imijukujelwa ekhokelwa yi-laser, kwaye ke, kubaluleke kakhulu, i-United States yathi "Ewe, xa iijethi zakho zinyuka ukuya kwenza i-bhombing sorties" - oko kuya kuchazwa ngabalingane bam apha - "siya kubandisa. Bangakwazi ukuwela, baqhume i-Yemen, babuyele kwi-airspace yase-Saudi, iijethi zase-US ziya kunyuka, zifake i-refuel phakathi nomoya" - singathetha ngakumbi malunga naloo nto - "kwaye ungabuyela umva kwaye uqhume ngaphezulu." U-Iona Craig, intatheli ehlonitshwa kakhulu evela eYemen uthe ukuba i-refueling esemoyeni iyekile, imfazwe iya kuphela ngomso.
Ngoko ke uLawulo luka-Obama lwaluxhasa kakhulu; kodwa ngaxa lithile abantu abali-149 babehlanganisene ngomngcwabo; yayingumngcwabo werhuluneli eyaziwa kakhulu eYemen kwaye itephu kabini yenziwa; i-Saudis kuqala ibhombu umngcwabo kwaye ke xa abantu beza ukwenza umsebenzi wokuhlangula, ukwenza isiqabu, ibhombu yesibini. Kwaye abaphathi baka-Obama bathi, "Yiyo loo nto - asinakuqinisekisa ukuba awenzi ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe xa ufikelela kwezi thagethi" - ke, ngelo xesha babesele beqhubhise izibhedlele ezine zooGqirha ngaphandle kwemida. Gcina ukhumbule ukuba iUnited States yayiqhubhise isibhedlele i-Doctors Without Borders ngo-Oktobha 2nd, 2015. October 27th, i-Saudis yayenza.
U-Ban-Ki-Moon uzame ukuthi ku-Saudi Brigadier-General Asseri ukuba awukwazi ukujikeleza izibhedlele eziqhubhisa ibhombu, kwaye uGenerali wathi "Ewe, siza kucela oogxa bethu baseMelika ukuba bafumane iingcebiso ezingcono malunga nokujolisa."
Ngoko cinga malunga nokukhanya okuluhlaza okwenziwa yiGuantanamo xa i-United Arab Emirates inenethiwekhi yeentolongo ezilishumi elinesibhozo ezifihlakeleyo. Cinga ngokukhanya okuluhlaza oko kuqhunyiswa kwethu kwesibhedlele saseMedecins Sans Frontieres (OoGqirha Ngaphandle kwemida), emva koko iiSaudis ziyayenza. Sidlale indima enkulu, thina njengabantu baseMelika ulawulo lwabo luye lwabandakanyeka ngokuthe ngcembe kwimfazwe yamakhaya kunye nemfazwe ekhokelwa yi-Saudi.
Sinokuyibiza loo nto njengemfazwe yommeli ngenxa yokubandakanyeka kwamazwe alithoba ahlukeneyo, kuquka neSudan. Ibandakanyeka njani iSudan? Abasebenzi bemali. I-Janjaweed mercenaries eyoyikayo iqeshwe yi-Saudis ukulwa nonxweme. Ke xa iNkosana yesiXhobe isithi “Ixesha lisecaleni kwethu,” liyazi ukuba abo bamajoni bathatha idolophu encinane emva kwedolophu encinane, besondela kwizibuko elibalulekileyo laseHodeidah. Uyazi ukuba banemithwalo yezixhobo kunye nokunye okuzayo, kuba uMongameli wethu uTrump, xa wayehamba edansa kunye neenkosana, wathembisa ukuba i-spigot ibuyele kwaye i-United States iya kuthengisa kwakhona izixhobo.
Ndifuna ukuvala ngokukhankanya ukuba xa, kwisithuba esingaphezulu konyaka ophelileyo, uMongameli uTrump wanika intetho kuzo zombini izindlu zeNkongolo, wakhalaza ngokusweleka kweSitywina soMkhosi waManzi, kwaye umhlolokazi kaNavy Seal wayekubaphulaphuli – wayezama gcina ezolile, wayelila ngokukrakra, wakhwaza phezu kwentswahla yezandla eyaqhubeka imizuzu emine njengoko zonke iisenenja kunye nazo zonke i-congressmen zinika lo mfazi isandi esimangalisayo, yayiyinto engaqhelekanga kakhulu; kwaye uMongameli Trump wayekhwaza “Uyazi ukuba akasayi kuze alityalwe; Uyazi ukuba ulapha phezulu ukujongela phantsi.”
Ewe, ndaqalisa ukuzibuza, “Kaloku, wabulawa phi?” Kwaye akukho mntu wakha wathi, ngalo lonke elo xesha ngokuhlwa, ukuba iGosa eliyiNtloko likaRyan “Ryan” Owens labulawa eYemen, kwangobo busuku kwangobo busuku, kwilali ekude yezolimo yase-Al-Ghayil, i-Navy Seals eyenze iphulo. utyando lwaqonda ngequbuliso “siphakathi kuqhaqho oluphanzayo.” Abantu besizwe sasebumelwaneni beza nemipu baza bayicima inqwelo-ntaka leyo i-Navy Seals yayiwele kuyo, kwaza kwaqhambuka imfazwe yompu; i-Navy Seals yabiza inkxaso yomoya, kwaye kwangobo busuku, oomama abathandathu babulawa; yaye abantwana abalishumi abangaphantsi kweminyaka elishumi elinesithathu babephakathi kwabangama-26 ababulawayo.
Umama omncinci oneminyaka engama-30 ubudala - igama lakhe yayinguFatim - wayengazi ukuba enze ntoni xa umjukujelwa ukrazula indlu yakhe; yaye ngoko wabamba usana olunye engalweni yakhe waza wabamba isandla sonyana wakhe oneminyaka emihlanu ubudala waza waqalisa ukubalusa abantwana abalishumi elinesibini kuloo ndlu, eyayisandul’ ukuqwengwa, ngaphandle; kuba wayecinga ukuba yinto ekufuneka yenziwe. Kwaye ke ngubani owaziyo, mhlawumbi, uyazi, izixhobo zokubona ubushushu zichonge ubukho bakhe buphuma kwisakhiwo. Wabulawa yimbumbulu ngasemva kwentloko yakhe: unyana wakhe uchaze kanye okwenzekayo.
Kuba, ndiyacinga, ngobungangamsha baseMelika, sazi kuphela ngomntu omnye lowo-kwaye asazi nokuba wabulawa phi ngobo busuku.
Ke ngoko ukoyisa loo mahluko-ukufikelela isandla sobuhlobo-ukuthi asikholelwa ukuba ixesha lisecaleni kwakhe nawuphi na umntwana osengozini yendlala nezifo, kunye neentsapho zabo, abafuna nje ukuphila;
Ixesha alikho kwicala labo.
Enkosi.
