Ubandakanyeke njani kwi-anti-war activism kwaye World BEYOND War (WBW)?
Okokuqala, ndikhetha elona xesha lilungileyo lokulwela uxolo kunokuba lixesha elingalunganga lokulwa imfazwe.

Izizathu zokuba ndibandakanyeke kumzabalazo woxolo zavela kumava am angaphambili njengogcini wamajoni woMbutho weZizwe eziManyeneyo kunye nomsebenzi wam njengongamela unyulo lwamazwe aphesheya kumazwe angama-20 athe afumana iingxwabangxwaba ezinzima kwaye nophando lwam kwezemfundo lwandiqinisekisa ukuba kukho isidingo esingxamisekileyo khuthaza uxolo kwihlabathi liphela njengenye indlela yeemfazwe. Ndaye ndazibandakanya noqhankqalazo loxolo ekuqaleni ngo-2001 kwakamsinya nje ndakuqonda ukuba urhulumente waseIreland uthathe isigqibo sokuququzelela umlo okhokelwa yi-US e-Afghanistan ngokuvumela umkhosi wase-US ukuba udlule kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya i-Shannon usiya e-Afghanistan ngokuchasana ngokucacileyo nemithetho yamanye amazwe. Ubundilele.

Ndabandakanyeka kwi-WBW kuba ndaye ndazi ngomsebenzi olungileyo owenziwa yi-WBW ngokuthatha inxaxheba kwe-WBW kwiinkomfa ezimbini zoxolo zamazwe e-Ireland, kubandakanya neNkomfa yaMazwe ngaMazwe yokuQala ye-US / NATO ye-Military Bases eyayibanjwe ngo-Novemba 2018, kunye neNkomfa eyayiququzelelwe World BEYOND War - Iindlela eziya kuXolo kwiLimerick 2019.

Ziziphi iintlobo zemisebenzi yokuzithandela onceda ngazo?
Ukongeza ekusebenzeni neWBW, ndingunobhala wamazwe aphesheya kunye PANAI-Irish Peace and Neutrality Alliance, ilungu elasungula Shannonwatch, ilungu leBhunga loXolo lweHlabathi, uSihlalo wamaGqala oXolo eIreland, kunye nokusebenza namaqela amaninzi okusingqongileyo.

Ndizilungiselele kwaye ndathabatha inxaxheba kwiminyhadala yoqhankqalazo kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseShannon kule minyaka ingama-20 idlulileyo apho ndibanjwe khona amatyeli aliqela kwaye ndatshutshiswa izihlandlo ezi-6 ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, kodwa ngokungaqhelekanga ndikhululwe kuzo zonke izihlandlo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.

Ngo-2004 ndathatha inkundla ePhakamileyo yomgaqo-siseko nxamnye noRhulumente wase-Ireland malunga nokusetyenziswa komkhosi wase-US kwisikhululo senqwelomoya sase-Shannon, kwaye ngelixa ndaye ndalahlekelwa yinxalenye yeli tyala, iNkundla ePhakamileyo yagweba ukuba urhulumente wase-Ireland waphula umthetho wesiko wamazwe aphesheya ngokungathathi hlangothi.

Ndikhe ndaya kwiinkomfa zoxolo zamanye amazwe kwaye ndenza utyelelo loxolo kula mazwe alandelayo: i-USA, iRussia, iSyria, iPalestine, iSweden, iIceland, iDenmark, iSwitzerland, iUnited Kingdom, iBelgium, iJamani neTurkey.

Ingcebiso yakho ephezulu kumntu ofuna ukubandakanyeka neWBW?
Le ngcebiso isebenza kuye nakubani na ofuna ukubandakanyeka kulo naliphi na iqela labaphembeleli boxolo: sukuphambanisa, bandakanyeka, kwaye wenze nantoni na onokuyenza nanini na unakho ukukhuthaza uxolo.

Yintoni egcina ukuba uphefumlele ukuxhasa utshintsho?
Ngexesha lenkonzo yam njengoMgcini woXolo weZizwe eziManyeneyo, nanjengomntu obeke iliso kunyulo lwamazwe aphesheya, ndikubonile ukonakala kweemfazwe kunye neengxabano, kwaye ndadibana namaxhoba amaninzi emfazwe, kunye namalungu osapho abantu ababulewe kwiimfazwe. Kuphando lwam kwezemfundo, ndibonakalise ukuba abantwana abasisigidi baye bafa ngaphesheya koMbindi Mpuma ngenxa yezizathu ezinxulumene nemfazwe ukusukela kwimfazwe yokuqala ye-Gulf ngo-1991. Ezi zinto azindishiyi ngaphandle kokwenza konke endinako ukunceda ukuphelisa iimfazwe nokukhuthaza uxolo.

Ngaba ubhubhane we-coronavirus ikuchaphazele njani ukusebenza kwakho?
I-coronavirus ayikuthintelanga ukusebenza kwam kakhulu njengoko bendibandakanyekile kumatyala aliqela asemthethweni aqhagamshelwe kwizenzo zoxolo kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya iShannon kwaye bendihleli ndisebenzisa iintlanganiso zohlobo lwe-Zoom ukuthatha inxaxheba kwimisebenzi yoxolo. Ndithathe indawo yokubeka esweni ngokuthe ngqo kweenqwelomoya zomkhosi wase-US ohamba ngenqwelomoya eShannon nge-elektroniki kwaye ndisebenzisa iinkqubo zokulandela umkhondo wenqwelomoya kwi-intanethi.
