Guantanamo, Cuba
Novemba 23-24, 2015
I-US Army Reserves (uMhlala-phantsi) kunye noMongameli wase-US u-Ann Wright

Okokuqala, makhe ndibulele iBhunga loXolo lweSizwe (i-WPC) kunye noMbutho weCuban woxolo kunye noBukhosi boMphakathi (MovPaz), uMququzeleli weNgingqi weWPC eMelika kunye neeCaribbean, ngokucwangcisa nokusingatha i-4th International Seminar yoxolo nokuphelisa Amasebe aseManye amazwe.

Ndizukile ukuba ndithethe kule nkomfa ngokukodwa malunga nesidingo sokupheliswa kweziseko zomkhosi wase-United States kwiCaribbean, Central nakuMzantsi Merika. Kuqala, mandithethe egameni labathunywa abavela e-United States, ngakumbi i-CODEPINK: Abasetyhini ngoXolo, siyaxolisa ngobukho obuqhubekayo be-US Naval Base apha eGuantanamo nakwintolongo yomkhosi wase-US ebeke ubumnyama isithunzi ngaphezulu kwegama lesixeko sakho esihle saseGuantanamo.

Siyacela ukuvalwa kwejele kunye nokubuya kwe-US basebenzi yamanzi emva kwe-112 iminyaka kubanikazi abafanelekileyo, abantu baseCuba. Naliphi na isivumelwano sokusetyenziswa komhlaba ngokusayinwa ngurhulumente weepopu wolondolozo wekhontrakthi akakwazi ukuma. I-Base Naval Base e-Guantanamo ayimfuneko kwiqhinga lokukhusela i-US. Esikhundleni saloo nto, ibonakalisa ukukhuseleka kwelizwe lika-US njengoko ezinye iintlanga kunye nabantu bazibona ukuba yintoni-isandla entliziyweni ye-revolution yeCuba, i-revolution yase-United States izame ukuphanga i-1958.

Ndifuna ukuqaphela amalungu e-85 amagosa ahlukahlukeneyo avela e-United States- 60 esuka ku-CODEPINK: Abasetyhini ngoxolo, i-15 kwiNgqina elichasene nokuhlushwa kunye ne-10 evela kwi-United National Anti-War Coalition. Yonke imingeni yomgaqo-nkqubo kaRhulumente wase-US kwiminyaka emininzi, ngokugqithiseleyo ukucinywa kwezoqoqosho kunye nezomnotho eCuba, ukubuya kweeCuban ezinhlanu kunye nokubuya komhlaba we-base base-Guantanamo.

Okwesibini, ndingabandakanyeka kwinxaxheba kwenkomfa yanamhlanje ngenxa yam ye-40 yeminyaka yokusebenza kuRhulumente wase-United States. Ndasebenza iminyaka eyi-29 kwi-Army / Army Reserves yase-US kwaye ndathatha umhlalaphantsi njengoKolonel. Kwaye ndiyi-diplomat yase-US ye-16 iminyaka kwaye ndasebenza kwii-ambassade zase-US eNicaragua, eGrenada, eSomalia, Uzbekistan, eKyrgyzstan, eSierra Leone, eMicronesia, e-Afghanistan naseMongolia.

Nangona kunjalo, ngo-Matshi 2003, ndingomnye wabasebenzi abathathu baseburhulumenteni baseUnited States abashiya ngokuchasene nemfazwe kaMongameli Bush e-Iraq. Ukususela ngoko, mna, kunye nabo bonke abantu ekuthumeni kwethu, baye baba nemingeni yomgaqo-nkqubo ka-Bush kunye no-Obama kwiinkalo ezahlukeneyo zelizwe kunye nezasekhaya kuquka ukuguqulelwa okungaqhelekanga, ukuvalelwa ngokungekho mthethweni, ukuthunjelwa, i-drones yokubulala, ukunyanzelwa kwamapolisa, ukuvalelwa kwamapolisa , kunye neenqwelo zamajoni zase-US emhlabeni jikelele, kubandakanywa nenene, isiseko sezempi sase-US kunye nejele entolongweni yaseGuantanamo.

Ndagqibela apha eGuantanamo kwi-2006 kunye nokuthunyelwa kweCODEPINK eyayibambe isiqhankqalazo kwisango elisezantsi laseMelika ukuvalela intolongo nokubuyisela isiseko eCuba. Ukuhamba nathi kwakungomnye wabanjwa bokuqala ukukhutshwa, ummi waseBrithani, uAsif Iqbal. Ngeli xesha siye sabonisa abantu abangaba liwaka kwiholo lemidlalo enkulu kwi-movie yaseGuantanamo kunye namalungu eembutho zezopolitiko xa sabuyela eHaana, i-movie yocweyo ethi "Indlela eya eGuantanamo," ibali lokuba i-Asif nabanye ababini bafika njani uvalelwe yi-United States. Xa sacela uAsif ukuba uya kucinga ukubuyela e-Cuba kwizithunywa zethu emva kweminyaka eyi-3 yokuvalelwa entolongweni, wathi, "Ewe, ndingathanda ukubona iCuba kwaye ndihlangabezane nabaseCubans-konke endiyibonayo xa ndibekho baseMelika."

Umama nomntakwabo ohlala ejele waseBrithani u-Omar Deghayes bajoyina i-delegation yethu, kwaye andiyi kulibala umama ka-Omar ekhangele ucingo lwesiseko ebuza: "Ucinga ukuba uOmar uyazi ukuba silapha?" Eminye ihlabathi yazi ukuba Kwakunjengokusasazwa kweTV kumhlaba wonke ngaphandle kocingo kwazisa amagama akhe kwihlabathi. Emva kokuba u-Omar akhululwe ngonyaka kamva, watshela unina ukuba umlindi wamxelela ukuba unina wayesekho ngaphandle kwintolongo, kodwa u-Omar, akumangalisi ukuba akazange akwazi ukuba kukholwa ngumlindi okanye cha.

Emva kweminyaka eyi-14 yokuvalelwa entolongweni yaseGuantanamo, amabanjwa ase-112 ahlala. I-52 yazo yahlulwa ukukhutshwa kwiminyaka edlulileyo kwaye isagcinwe, kwaye ngokungaqondakaliyo, i-US igcine ukuba i-46 iya kubanjwa ngonaphakade ngaphandle kokuhlawulwa okanye ityala.

Makhe ndikuqinisekise, abaninzi, abaninzi bethu baqhubeka nomzabalazo wethu e-United States efuna inkundla kubo bonke abanjwa kunye nokuvalwa kwejele entolongweni yaseGuantanamo.

Imbali ekhohlakeleyo yeminyaka elishumi elinesibini edlulileyo yaseUnited States ebopha abantu base-779 abasuka kumazwe e-48 kwi-base base-US baseCuba njengenxalenye yemfazwe yehlabathi "ngokusongela" kubonisa ingqondo yabo ba lawula iUnited States - ukungenelela kwehlabathi jikelele izizathu zezopolitiko okanye ezoqoqosho, ukuhlasela, ukuhlala kwamanye amazwe kunye nokushiya iziseko zawo zempi kulawo mazwe amashumi eminyaka.

Ngoku, ukuthetha ngezinye iziseko zase-US kwiNtshona yeIkhweyitha- kuMbindi nakuMzantsi Merika nakwiCaribbean.

I-2015 yeSebe leZiko loKhuseleko loLwazi lweSizwe soKhuseleko lichaza ukuba i-DOD inempahla kwiziseko ze-587 kumazwe akwa-42, ininzi ekhona eJamani (ii-181 sites), eJapan (ii-122 sites) kunye ne-South Korea (i-83 sites). Isebe loKhuselo ihlelwa I-20 yamanxweme angaphandle kwehlabathi, i-16 nje, i-482 njengencinci kunye ne-69 njenge "ezinye iisayithi."

Ezi ncinane kunye "nezinye izingosi" zibizwa ngokuba yi "lily pads" kwaye zihlala kwindawo ezikude kwaye ziyimfihlo okanye zivunyelwe ukuba zikhusele imibhikano engakhokelela kwimimiselo ekusebenziseni kwabo. Ngokuqhelekileyo banenani elincinci labasebenzi bezempi kwaye akukho zintsapho. Ngamanye amaxesha baphendula kwiinkampani zangasese zemikhosi zabo izenzo zikaRhulumente waseUnited States. Ukuze kugcinwe iphrofayili ephantsi, iziseko zifihliwe ngaphakathi kweziseko zelizwe okanye kumaphethelo eenqwelo-moya.

Kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo ndenza iindidi ezininzi ukuya eMbindi naseMzantsi Melika. Kulo nyaka, i-2015, ndaya e-El Salvador naseChile ngeSikole seMerika kunye ne-2014 ukuya eCosta Rica kwaye ngasekuqaleni kwalo nyaka ukuya eCuba ngeCODEPINK: Abasetyhini ngoxolo.

Njengoko uninzi lwayo, Isikolo seMerika saseMerika ngumbutho onayo ziweyo ngamagama amaninzi abaphumelele kwisikolo samasosha ase-US ekuqaleni esibizwa ngokuba yiSikolo seMerika, ngoku esibizwa ngokuba yiNkcubeko yeHemispheric Institute for Co-operative Cooperation (WHINSEC), abaye batshabalalisa nabambulalayo bamazwe abo abachasene nemigaqo-nkqubo yoxinzelelo karhulumente-eHonduras, eGuatemala , El Salvador, eChile, eArgentina. Ezinye zezona zihloniphekileyo zalaba babulali abafuna ukukhuphela e-United States kwi-1980 ngoku sele bebuyiselwe kwilizwe labo, ngokukodwa ku-El Salvador, ngokukhawuleza, kungekhona ngenxa yezenzo zabo zobugebengu ezaziwayo, kodwa ngenxa yokuphulwa kwe-US.

Kule minyaka engamashumi amabini edluleyo, i-SOA Watch ibambe isigxina se-3-day yonyaka ehamba kunye namawaka kwikhaya elitsha le-SOA kwisikhululo sezempi sase-US e-Fort Benning, eGeorgia ukukhumbuza impi yembali ebalulekileyo yesikolo. Ukongezelela, i-SOA Watch ithumele a bathunywa kumazwe aseMbindi naseMzantsi Melika ecela ukuba oorhulumente bayeke ukuthumela umkhosi wabo kwesi sikolo. Amazwe amahlanu, iVenezuela, iArgentina, i-Ecuador, iBolivia kunye neNicaragua baye baxosha umkhosi wabo esikolweni kwaye ngenxa yokubambezeleka kwe-Congress yase-US, i-SOA Watch yaba ngamavoti amahlanu e-US Congress evala isikolo. Kodwa, ngokudabukisayo, ivulekile.

Ndifuna ukuqaphela i-78 ubudala uJoAnn Lingle owayebanjelwe umngeni kwiSikolo samaMerika waza wagwetywa kwiinyanga ze-2 ejele laseFrance. Kwaye ndifuna ukuqonda wonke umntu kwi-delegation yethu yase-US ebanjelwe uxolo, olungenobundlobongela kwimigaqo-nkqubo kaRhulumente wase-US. Sine-20 esivela kubathunywa bethu abanjwe kwaye baya ejele ngenxa yobulungisa.

Kulo nyaka, ukuthunyelwa kwe-SOA Watch, kwiintlanganiso kunye noMongameli wase-El Salvador, owayengumphathi we-FMLN Commandante, kunye noMphathiswa wezoKhuseleko waseChile, bacela ukuba lawo mazwe ayeke ukuthumela abasebenzi bawo emkhosini. Iimpendulo zabo zigqamisa i-web yaseMelika kunye nokubandakanyeka komthetho kula mazwe. UMongameli wase-El Salvador, uSalvador Sanchez Ceren, wathi ilizwe lakhe lanciphisa ngokukhawuleza inani lemikhosi elithunyelwa kwizikolo zase-US, kodwa akakwazanga ukuqhawula ngokupheleleyo isikolo esikolweni sase-US ngenxa yezinye iinkqubo zase-US zokulwa nokusetyenziswa kweziyobisi kunye nobutyebi, kuquka I-International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) eyakhiwe e-El Salvador, emva kokukhanyela uluntu indawo ehlala eCosta Rica.

Injongo ye-ILEA "ukulwa nokuthengiswa kwezidakamizwa ngamazwe ngamazwe, ulwaphulo-mthetho, kunye nobutshabalalwano ngokusebenzisa ukusebenzisana kwamazwe ngamazwe." Noko ke, abaninzi banenkxalabo yokuba amaqhinga amapolisa anobundlobongela nobunogonyamelo exhaphakileyo eUnited States aya kufundiswa ngabalawuli be-US. E-El Salvador, amapolisa ayondela kwizigulane ziziko kwi "mano duro okanye isandla esinzima" indlela yokunyanzeliswa komthetho abathi abaninzi baye baphelelwa ngamapolisa ngamagqirha eba ngongqongqo ekuphenduleni amapolisa. Amacebo. I-El Salvador ngoku inegama "lokubulala inkunzi" yase-Central America.

Uninzi awaziyo ukuba isibonelelo sesibini se-US sokuthotyelwa komthetho siseLima, ePeru. Kubizwa ngokuba yiyo Iziko loQeqesho loMmandla kunye nomsebenzi walo "ukwandisa ubudlelwane obude bexesha elide phakathi kwamagosa angaphandle ukulwa nomsebenzi wobugebengu wamazwe ngamazwe kunye nokuxhasa intando yesininzi ngokugxininisa umgaqo wamalungelo kunye namalungelo oluntu kwimisebenzi yamazwe ngamazwe naphaya."

Ngolunye uhambo nohambo lwe-SOA, xa sasivakatye uJoseph Gomez, uMphathiswa wezoKhuselo waseChile, uthe wayefumene izicelo ezininzi kwamanye amaqela amalungelo oluntu ukuba ahlukane nesikolo sase-US kwaye uye wacela impi yaseChile ukuba inikezele ingxelo malunga nesidingo sokuqhubeka nokuthumela abasebenzi kuyo.

Nangona kunjalo, ulwalamano olubanzi kwi-US lubaluleke kakhulu ukuba iChile yamukele i-465 yezigidi ezivela eUnited States ukwakha indawo entsha yempi ebizwa ngokuba nguFertete Aguayo ngokuqinisekileyo ukuphucula ukuqeqeshwa kwimisebenzi yemikhosi kwimimandla yasezidolophini njengengxenye yokugcina uxolo. Abagxeki bathi imikhosi yase-Chile sele isinezixhobo zokuqeqeshwa koxolo kunye nokuba isiseko esitsha kukunika i-US enkulu mpe mbelelo kwimiba yokhuseleko yaseChile.

AmaChile abamba imibhikano rhoqo kule ndawo kunye namagunya ethu bajoyina kwelinye lala macala.

Ukuphendula kwi-Fort Aguayo ukufakwa, iKhomishana ye-NGO ethi Ethics Ethics Against Torture wabhala malunga nendima yase-US e-Fuerte Aguayo kunye nabemi base-Chile beqhankqalaza ngokuchasene nayo: “Ulongamo luphezu kwabantu. Ukhuseleko alunakuncitshiswa ukukhusela umdla wabantu abadlulayo… Imikhosi exhobileyo kufanele ukuba ikhusele ulawulo lwelizwe. Ukugoba kwawo ukuyalele umkhosi waseMntla Melika kungcatsha ilizwe. ” Kwaye, "Abantu banelungelo elisemthethweni lokuququzelela nokubonisa esidlangalaleni."

Ukusetyenziswa kwemikhosi yaminyaka yonke i-United States eqhuba ngamazwe amaninzi aseNtshona Koloni kufuneka idibaniswe kumbandela wesiseko semikhosi yasemzini njengoko izivivinyo zizisa inani elikhulu lemikhosi yase-US kummandla ixesha elide usebenzisa "okwethutyana" isiseko sezempi kumazwe angamkeli.

Kwi-2015 i-US yenza i-6 enkulu yemigangatho yemikhosi yasemaphandleni eNtshona Koloni. Xa i-delegation yethu yayiseChile ngo-Oktobha, umphathi wezindiza wase-US uGeorge Washington, isiseko sezempi sase-US ngokwawo kunye neenqwelo ezininzi zeemoto, ii-helicopter kunye ne-craft landing, kunye namanye amajelo eemerika aseMelika ayenamanzi aseChile afana nokusebenza njengeChile ebambe i-UNITAS ngonyaka . Iingxowa zaseBrazil, eColombia, eRiphabliki yaseDominican, e-Ecuador, e-El Salvador, eGuatemala, eHonduras, eMexico, eNew Zealand nasePanama nazo ukuthatha inxaxheba.

Unxibelelwano olude lomntu phakathi kweenkokheli zempi, umsebenzi osebenzayo kunye nomhlalaphantsi, ngowenye inxaxheba yobundiswano bomkhosi esifanele sijonge kunye neziseko. Ngethuba i-delegation yethu yayiseChile, uDavid Petraeus, umhlala phantsi wase-US kunye nenkwenkwezi ye-CIA, wafika eSantiago, eChile ukuya kwiintlanganiso zeNtloko zamaKhosi zaseChile ezigxininisa ubudlelwane obuqhubekayo obuvela emkhosini ukuya kubaphathi abahlala phantsi. iikontraki zasemkhosini zangasese kunye nabathunywa abangabhalwanga kwimigaqo-nkqubo ye-US

Enye into yokubandakanyeka kwezempi zase-US yintsebenziswano yayo yoluntu kunye neenkqubo zoncedo ngoncedo loluntu endleleni, ukwakhiwa kwesikolo kunye namaqela ezonyango anikezela iinkonzo zempilo kunzima ukufikelela kwiindawo ezininzi zeNtshona Koloni. Ii-17 zaseUnited States zeSizwe zoLondolozo lweSizwe zinobudlelwane bemikhosi-mkhosi emininzi kunye nezokhuselo kunye nezokhuseleko kwiintlanga ze-22 kwiiCaribbean, eMntla-Amerika neMzantsi Melika. Inkqubo yokuBambisana neSizwe soMzantsi Afrika yoLondolozo jolise ngokukodwa kwiiprojekthi zentlalo ezenzeka rhoqo kangangokuthi imikhosi yase-US iqhubeka ngokuqhubekayo kumazwe, isebenzisa iziseko zemikhosi zasemaphandleni njengezakhe ngexesha leeprojekthi.

Iziseko zemikhosi zase-US eNtshona Koloni

Guantanamo Bay, Cuba-Ewe, elona ziko lomkhosi laziwayo e-US kwiNtshona yeIkhweyitha iseCuba, kwiikhilomitha ezininzi ukusuka apha-eGuantanamo Bay Isikhululo Sasemanzini sase-US esihlala i-US iminyaka eli-112 ukusukela ngo-1903. Kule minyaka ili-14 idlulileyo, igcinwe kwintolongo edumileyo yaseGuantanamo apho i-US ibambe abantu abangama-779 abavela kwihlabathi liphela. Ngama-8 kuphela amabanjwa angama-779 afunyenwe enetyala-kwaye lawo yinkundla yemikhosi eyimfihlo. Kusele amabanjwa ali-112 apho urhulumente wase-US athi ama-46 ayingozi kakhulu ukuzama inkundla kwaye azakuhlala ejele ngaphandle kokuthethwa kwetyala.

Kodwa inenqwelomoya eyayisetyenziswa ngumkhosi waseHonduran ngo-2009 ukubhukuqa apho ukubhabha uMongameli owonyulwe ngokwentando yesininzi ngaphandle kwelizwe. Ukusukela ngo-2003, iCongress yabele iidola ezingama-45 ezigidi kwizibonelelo ezisisigxina. Kwiminyaka emibini phakathi ko-2009 no-2011, inani labemi likhule ngeepesenti ezingama-20.
