Yintoni enokuba mbi ngakumbi kunemfazwe yenyukliya? Indlala yenyukliya elandela imfazwe yenyukliya. Kwaye yeyiphi eyona nto kunokwenzeka ukuba imfazwe yenyukliya iqhume? Umda weIndiya nePakistan. Omabini la mazwe axhobile ngenyukliya, kwaye nangona iindawo zawo zokugcina zincinci "zincinci" xa kuthelekiswa ne-US ne-Russia, ziyingozi kakhulu. IPakistan inezixhobo ezimalunga ne-100 zenyukliya; I-Indiya malunga ne-130. Belwe iimfazwe ezintathu ukusukela ngo-1947 kwaye balwela ngokukrakra kulawulo lweKashmir kunye nefuthe e-Afghanistan. Ngelixa i-India iye yalahla ukusetyenziswa kwayo okokuqala, kuyo nayiphi na into exabisekileyo, iPakistan ayinayo, ibhengeza ukuba kwimeko yoloyiso oluzayo yimikhosi yaseIndiya eyoyikisayo iya kubetha kuqala ngezixhobo zenyukliya.
Ukuxokozela kweSaber kuqhelekile. Inkulumbuso yasePakistan uNawaz Sharif uthe kungabakho imfazwe yesine ukuba umba weKashmir awusonjululwanga, kwaye iNkulumbuso yase-India uManmohan Singh uphendule wathi iPakistan "ayinakuze iphumelele emfazweni ebomini bam."
Inyukliya eKhayina esele yenzelwe iIndiya ingaphinda ibandakanyeke kwimpikiswano phakathi kweentshaba ezimbini, kunye nePakistan ibhekiselele ekuphuhlisweni kwe-state3a engaziwayo kwaye yingozi kakhulu kwizixhobo zenyukliya kwisizwe.
Iingcali ziqikelela ukuba imfazwe yenyukliya phakathi kweIndiya nePakistan iya kubulala malunga nezigidi ezingama-22 zabantu kuqhushumbo, imitha ebukhali, kunye neziqhwithi zomlilo. Nangona kunjalo, indlala yomhlaba wonke ebangelwe yimfazwe yenyukliya "encinci" iya kubangela ukusweleka kweebhiliyoni ezimbini ngaphezulu kweminyaka elishumi.
Injalo loo nto, indlala yenyukliya. Imfazwe isebenzisa ngaphantsi kwesiqingatha sezixhobo zabo iya kuphakamisa umsizi omnyama kunye nomhlaba emoyeni oya kuthi ubangele ubusika benyukliya. Imeko enjalo yayisaziwa njengakudala njengee-1980s, kodwa akukho mntu wabala ifuthe kwezolimo.
Ifu elixhambileyo laliza kubandakanya iindawo ezininzi zomhlaba, ukuzisa amaqondo aphantsi, ukunyuka kwamaxesha ambalwa, ukutshatyalaliswa ngokukhawuleza kweqondo lokushisa, ukuguqula imvula yamanzi kunye nokungafihlisi iminyaka eyi-10. Ngoku, ingxelo entsha esekelwe kwizifundo ezithile eziyinkimbinkimbi ibonisa ukulahlekelwa kwezityalo eziza kubangela kunye nenani labantu abaya kufakwa engozini yokutya nokungondleki kunye nendlala.
Iimodeli zekhompyuter zibonisa ukwehla kwengqolowa, irayisi, umbona, kunye neembotyi zesoya. Ukuveliswa ngokubanzi kwezityalo kuya kuwa, kubethe iphantsi yabo kunyaka wesihlanu kwaye ngokuthe ngcembe ukubuyela kunyaka weshumi. Umbona kunye neembotyi zesoya eIowa, eIllinois, eIndiana naseMissouri bebezakufumana umyinge weepesenti ezilishumi kwaye, kunyaka wesihlanu, ama-10 epesenti. E-China, umbona ubuza kwehla nge-20 pesenti kule minyaka ilishumi, irayisi nge-16 ipesenti, kunye nengqolowa ngama-17 epesenti. IYurophu nayo iya kuncipha.
Ukwenza ifuthe libe mandundu ngakumbi, sele kukho phantse abantu abazizigidi ezingama-800 abangondlekanga emhlabeni. Ukwehla nje kweepesenti ezili-10 kwiikhalori abazityayo kubabeka emngciphekweni wendlala. Kwaye siya kongeza amakhulu ezigidi zabantu kubemi behlabathi kwishumi leminyaka elizayo. Ukuhlala nje nokuba siya kudinga amakhulu ezigidi zokutya kunokuba sivelisa ngoku. Okwesibini, phantsi kweemeko zemfazwe yenyukliya ebangelwe yimfazwe yasebusika kunye nokunqongophala kokutya okuqatha, abo banayo baya kuthontelana. Sikubonile oku xa imveliso yembalela ibixinezelekile kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo kwaye amazwe amaninzi athumela ukutya kwamanye amazwe ayeka ukuthumela kumazwe angaphandle. Ukuphazamiseka kwezoqoqosho kwiimarike zokutya kuya kuba nzima kwaye amaxabiso okutya aya kunyuka njengoko enzile ngelo xesha, ebeka oko kutya kufumaneka kufikelela kwizigidi. Kwaye okulandelayo yindlala sisifo sobhubhane.
Indlala Yenyukliya: Ngaba Abantu Abasemngciphekweni Baneebhiliyoni ezimbini? ” yingxelo evela kumanyano lwehlabathi lwezonyango, i-International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (Abamkeli beNobel Peace Prize, 1985) kunye ne-American affiliate, Physicians for Social Responsibility. Kukwi-intanethi aphahttp://www.psr.org/resources/two-billion-at-risk.html Abanazembe lezopolitiko banokusila. Eyona nto bayikhathaleleyo yimpilo yabantu.
Ungenzani? Indlela ekuphela kwayo yokuziqinisekisa ukuba le ntlekele yehlabathi ayizukwenzeka kukujoyina umbutho wehlabathi ukuphelisa ezi zixhobo zintshabalalo. Qala ngePhulo laMazwe ngaMazwe lokupheliswa kwezixhobo zenyukliya (http://www.icanw.org/). Sibuphelisile ubukhoboka. Singazisusa ezi zixhobo zoyikekayo zentshabalalo.
