Kutheni ndisiya kuMda oPhambili we-Wet'suwet'en Resistance

World BEYOND War uxhasa uMququzeleli wethu waseKhanada, uRachel Small, ekuchitheni isiqingatha sokuqala sikaNovemba kwinkampu yaseGidimt'en ngokumenywa kweenkokeli zaseWet'suwet'en ezikhusela ummandla wazo ngelixa zijongene nobundlobongela bobukoloniyali.

Kule veki, ndiza kuphuma ndiye e-Wet'suwet'en Territory ndiphendula ikhwelo elingxamisekileyo lomanyano kunye neebhutsi emhlabeni ezivela kwiiNkosi zeLifa leCas Yikh Gidimt'en Clan yeSizwe saseWet'suwet'en. . Kwiinzame zokugaya inkxaso kwidolophu yethu iphela, ndiza kudityaniswa nabanye abaququzeleli abahlanu baseToronto abahamba umgama ongama-4500km ukunqumla indawo ebizwa ngokuba yiCanada. Phambi kokuba ndihambe, bendifuna ukuthatha ixesha lokwabelana ngomnye umxholo wale nto yenzekayo ngoku, kwaye nokucacisa ukuba kutheni ndiza kuhamba, ngethemba lokuba iya kubangela umanyano ngakumbi nabantu baseWet'suwet'en. lo mzuzu ubalulekileyo.

Iliza lesithathu lothintelo ngokuchasene neCoastal Gaslink Pipeline

Kwinyanga edlulileyo, nge-25 kaSeptemba 2021, amalungu e-Wet'suwet'en eCas Yikh kunye nabaxhasi babo e-Gidimt'en Checkpoint bavala indawo yokomba ye-Coastal GasLink kwindawo yabo yase-Wet'suwet'en elunxwemeni loMlambo i-Wedzin Kwa. . Bamise inkampu eye yamisa ngokupheleleyo nawuphi na umsebenzi owenziweyo. Kule veki iphelileyo iLikhts'amisyu Clan yeSizwe saseWet'suwet'en iphinde yasebenzisa izixhobo ezinzima ukulawula ukufikelela kwinkampu yamadoda kwindawo eyahlukileyo kwi-Wet'suwet'en territory. Zonke iiNkosi zeLifa lezizwe ezihlanu ze-Wet'suwet'en ziye zachasa ngamxhelo mnye zonke izindululo zemibhobho kwaye ziye zayenza yacaca gca into yokuba azibonelelanga ngemvume yasimahla, yangaphambili, nenolwazi olufunekayo ukuze i-Coastal Gaslink yombe kwi-Wet' suwet'en imihlaba.

Ubunkokeli eGidimt'en Checkpoint bukhuphe izibongozo ezininzi ezithe ngqo kubaxhasi ukuba beze enkampini. Mna, njengabanye abaninzi, ndiyasabela kolo bizo.

Isibheno esivela ku-Sleydo', iSithethi se-Checkpoint ka-Gidimt'en, ukuba eze enkampini kwaye achaze kanye oko kusemngciphekweni. Ukuba ubukele ividiyo enye kuphela yenze Le..

Uhlaselo kumhlaba we-Wet'suwet'en, iprojekthi eqhubekayo yokutshabalalisa uhlanga

Ngoku singaphezulu kwenyanga kumaza esithathu othintelo kummandla we-Wet'suwet'en ngokuchasene nombhobho we-Coastal Gaslink. Amaza angaphambili okuchasa kwiminyaka eliqela edlulileyo aye ahlangatyezwa bubundlobongela obumanyumnyezi bombuso. Olu gonyamelo luye lwaqhutywa ngokuyintloko ngamaqela amajoni e-RCMP (umkhosi wamapolisa wesizwe waseKhanada, kwakhona ngokwembali umkhosi wamajoni waqala wasebenzisa ikoloni yasentshona yeCanada), ecaleni kweQela elitsha lokuPhendula loLuntu-Industry (C-IRG), ngokwenyani. iyunithi yokukhusela ukukhutshwa kwezixhobo, kwaye ixhaswa luhlolo oluqhubekayo lomkhosi.

Ubukho be-RCMP kumhlaba we-Wet'suwet'en phakathi kukaJanuwari ka-2019 kunye noMatshi ka-2020 - okubandakanya uhlaselo kabini lomkhosi ngokuchasene nabakhuseli bomhlaba - iindleko ngaphezu kwe-13 yezigidi. Amanqaku avuzayo ukusuka kwiseshoni yeqhinga le-RCMP phambi kolu hlaselo lomkhosi lubonisa ukuba abaphathi bamapolisa elizwe laseKhanada bacele ukuthunyelwa kwamagosa alungele ukusebenzisa amandla abulalayo. Abaphathi be-RCMP bayalele amagosa, awayenxibe ukudinwa okuluhlaza okomkhosi kwaye exhobe ngemipu, ukuba "basebenzise ubundlobongela obungaka ngasesangweni njengoko ufuna."

Iinkokeli ze-Wet'suwet'en ziyabuqonda obu bundlobongela baseburhulumenteni njengenxalenye yemfazwe eqhubekayo yobukoloniyali kunye neprojekthi yokutshabalalisa uhlanga eyenziwa yiCanada iminyaka engaphezu kwe-150. ICanada lilizwe elineziseko kunye nezangoku ezakhelwe kwimfazwe yobukoloniyali ebisoloko isebenzela eyona njongo iphambili-ukususa abantu bomthonyama kumhlaba wabo ukuze kutsalwe izixhobo. Eli lifa liyadlala ngoku kwi-Wet'suwet'en territory.

Okwam, zombini njengomququzeleli wabasebenzi e World BEYOND War nomhlali kumhlaba obiweyo weMntu, kucacile ukuba ukuba ndizimisele malunga nokupheliswa kwemfazwe kunye nokumisa ubundlobongela belizwe kunye nemfazwe oko kuthetha ukungenelela ngokuthe ngqo kuhlaselo lomkhosi olwenziwa ngoku kumhlaba we-Wet'suwet'en.

Kukuhanahanisa ukunxiba iihempe eziorenji kunye nokukhumbula ubomi obulahlekileyo "kwizikolo zokuhlala" ngeentsuku ezityunjwe ngurhulumente wamakholoniyali ukuba siyajika kwaye siyala ukubona ubundlobongela obufanayo bekoloniyali okwenzeka ngoku. Kubhalwe kakuhle ukuba izikolo ezihlala abantu yayisisixhobo injongo yazo ephambili yayikukususa abantu bomthonyama kwimihlaba yabo. Lo mzekelo mnye uqhubeka kanye phambi kwethu ngeendlela ezininzi. Kufuneka singavumi ukujika.

Ukukhusela i-Wedzin Kwa

ICoastal Gaslink ilungiselela ukugrumba phantsi komlambo i-Wedzin Kwa ukwakha umbhobho wabo werhasi owaphukileyo oyi-670km. Umbhobho we-6.2 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi yinxalenye yeyona projekthi inkulu kwimbali yaseKhanada. Kwaye i-Coastal Gaslink ngomnye wemibhobho emininzi ecetywayo ezama ukunqumla imimandla yemveli yase-Wet'suwet'en. Ukuba yakhiwe, iya kukhawulezisa ulwakhiwo lwebhitumene eyongezelelweyo kunye nemibhobho yerhasi eqhekekileyo, njengenxalenye yombono woshishino omkhulu wokudala “ipaseji yamandla” kwiindawo ezikuphela kwazo ezishiyekileyo kulo mmandla wonke kunye nokuguqula ngokungenakujikwa iWet'suwet'en. kunye nemimandla eyingqongileyo.

Inkampu yokuchasa eyamiselwa ekupheleni kukaSeptemba kwindawo yokomba ye-CGL iye yawumisa ngokupheleleyo umbhobho kwimizila yayo kanye kwindawo eyayiza kugrumba phantsi kwe-Wedzin Kwa, umlambo osembindini we-Wet'suwet'en. intsimi. Njengo-Sleydo', iSithethi se-Gidimt'en Checkpoint sicacisa "indlela yethu yokuphila isengozini. I-Wedzin Kwa [ngumlambo] owondla wonke ummandla wase-Wet'suwet'en nonika ubomi kwisizwe sethu.” Umlambo ngumhlaba ovelisa i-salmon kunye nomthombo obalulekileyo wamanzi okusela acocekileyo kwintsimi. Ukugrumba umbhobho ngaphantsi kwawo kuya kuba yintlekele, kungekuphela nje kubantu baseWet'suwet'en kunye nenkqubo yendalo yamahlathi exhomekeke kuyo, kodwa nakuluntu oluhlala emazantsi omlambo.

Lo mzabalazo umalunga nokukhusela lo mlambo ungcwele kumhlaba we-Wet'suwet'en. Kodwa kum, kunye nabanye abaninzi, oku kukwamalunga nokuma okubanzi. Ukuba sizimisele kubukho obuqhubekayo be ikhona imilambo kule planethi ukuba acwengileyo, ukuba singakwazi ukuqhubeka ukusela ngokuthe ngqo, ngoko ke kufuneka sizimisele ukubakhusela.

Umzabalazo wekamva eliphilayo kulo mhlaba

Njengomzali kumntwana oneminyaka emine ubudala, ndicinga kaninzi ngemini malunga nokuba esi sijikelezi-langa siya kujongeka kwaye sivakale njani kwiminyaka engama-20, engama-40, engama-60. Ukuma ecaleni kwabantu base-Wet'suwet'en ukumisa umbhobho we-CGL yeyona ndlela ndiyaziyo yokuqinisekisa ngeplanethi ephilayo kumntwana wam nakwizizukulwana ezizayo. Andingobaxo – ngo-Agasti ingxelo entsha yemozulu ibonise ukuba ukunganyangeki kweMveli kuyekile okanye kulibazise ungcoliseko lwerhasi yegreenhouse elingana nobuncinci nekota enye yonyaka ekhutshwayo e-US naseKhanada. Vumela elo nani lingene umzuzwana. Ubuncinci i-25% yezinto ezikhutshwayo zonyaka eCanada nase-US zithintelwe ngabantu bomthonyama abaxhathisa imibhobho kunye nezinye iiprojekthi zamafutha efosili kummandla we-Wet'suwet'en nakwiSiqithi saseTurtle. Oku kuyangena kumfanekiso obanzi wehlabathi - ngaphandle kwenyani yokuba abantu boMthonyama benza nje ngokusesikweni 5% yabemi behlabathi, zikhusela i-80% yezinto eziphilayo zomhlaba.

Ukuzibophelela kwikamva eliphilayo kwiplanethi yethu, kubulungisa bemozulu, kunye nokuphelisa ubukholoniyali, ngokuqinisekileyo kuthetha ukuba abantu abangengabo abemi bomthonyama bazibandakanya kumanyano. Ngelixa umsebenzi wam ugxile kumkhosi waseCanada, World BEYOND War uzibophelele ngokunzulu ekuzibandakanyeni kumsebenzi wobumbano kunye nemizabalazo yeMveli echasene nomkhosi kunye nekoloniyali eqhubekayo kwihlabathi jikelele - ukusuka ekuxhaseni Amatsha ntliziyo emveli aseTambrauw eWest Papua evala isiseko somkhosi esicetywayo kwintsimi yabo, ukuze Abemi bomthonyama baseOkinawa eJapan ukukhusela umhlaba wabo kunye namanzi kuMkhosi wase-US, ukukhusela umhlaba ngabantu baseWe'tsuwet'en.

Kwaye okwenzekayo kumhlaba we-Wet'suwet'en ayisiyonto inqabileyo yokudibana phakathi kweentlekele eziqhubekayo zomkhosi kunye nengxaki yemozulu - le ndibano yinto eqhelekileyo. Ingxaki yemozulu iyinxalenye enkulu ebangelwa kwaye isetyenziswa njengesizathu sokunyusa ukufudumala kunye nemfazwe. Asikuko nje ukungenelela komkhosi wamazwe angaphandle kwimfazwe yamakhaya amaxesha angaphezu kwe-100 kunokwenzeka ngakumbi apho kukho ioyile okanye igesi, kodwa imfazwe kunye namalungiselelo emfazwe akhokela abathengi beoyile kunye negesi (umkhosi wase-US kuphela ungumthengi we-oyile #1 kwiziko iplanethi). Ayifuneki kuphela ubundlobongela obusemkhosini obufunekayo ukuze kubiwe amafutha efosili kumazwe emveli, kodwa loo nto yokubasa inokuthi isetyenziswe kwikhomishini yobundlobongela obuphangaleleyo, ngelixa kwangaxeshanye inceda ukunika imozulu yomhlaba ingafanelanga kubomi babantu.

EKhanada ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni ngendlela ekhaphukhaphu yomkhosi waseKhanada (eyona nto inkulu yokukhutshwa ngurhulumente) ikhululwe kuzo zonke iithagethi zokucutha iGHG yomanyano, ngelixa ishishini lemigodi laseKhanada liyinkokeli yehlabathi ekutsalweni okutshabalalisayo kwezixhobo zoomatshini bemfazwe (ukusuka kwiuranium ukuya kwiuranium isinyithi kwizinto ezinqabileyo zomhlaba).

A ingxelo entsha ekhutshwe kule veki ibonise ukuba iCanada ichitha amaxesha ali-15 ngaphezulu emkhosini wemida yayo kunenkxaso-mali yemozulu ejolise ukunceda ukunciphisa utshintsho lwemozulu kunye nokufuduswa kwabantu ngenkani. Ngamanye amazwi, iCanada, lelinye lawona mazwe anoxanduva lwengxaki yemozulu, ichitha imali eninzi kakhulu ekuxhobiseni imida yayo ukuze igcine abafuduki ngaphandle kunokujongana nengxaki enyanzelisa abantu ukuba babaleke kumakhaya abo kwasekuqaleni. Ngalo lonke eli xesha izixhobo ezithunyelwa ngaphandle ziwela imida ngokungasebenziyo nangokufihlakeleyo, kwaye ilizwe laseCanada lithethelela izicwangciso zalo zangoku zokuthenga. Iijethi zebhombu ezingama-88 ezintsha kunye needrones zayo zokuqala ezixhobileyo ezixhobileyo ngenxa yezoyikiso eziya kubangela unxunguphalo lwemozulu kunye neembacu zemozulu.

I-Wet'suwet'en iyaphumelela

Ngaphandle kobundlobongela bobukoloniyali kunye namandla ongxowankulu ajongene nabo ngalo lonke ixesha, ukuxhathisa kwe-Wet'suwet'en kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo sele inegalelo ekucinyweni kwemibhobho emihlanu.

“Iinkampani ezininzi zemibhobho ziye zazama ukugrumba phantsi kwala manzi, kwaye zisebenzise iindlela ezininzi zobukoloniyali zokugrogrisa kunye nobundlobongela kubantu kunye nabaxhasi baseWet'suwet'en ukuze basenze sidinwe. Nangona kunjalo umlambo usahamba ucocekile, kwaye i-Wet'suwet'en isenamandla. Lo mlo usekude ukuba uphele.”

Kwiinyanga ezingaphambi kobhubhane, ukuphendula ikhwelo le-Wet'suwet'en lomanyano, intshukumo ye #ShutDownCanada yaphakama kwaye, ngokuvala umgaqo kaloliwe, iindlela ezinkulu, kunye neziseko ezingundoqo kwilizwe liphela, yafaka ilizwe laseCanada kwixhala. Unyaka ophelileyo uphawulwe ngokunyuka kwenkxaso ye #LandBack kunye nokuqondwa okukhulayo kwembali yobukoloniyali yaseCanada kunye neyangoku, kunye nesidingo sokuxhasa ulongamo lweMveli kunye negunya lokulawula imimandla yabo.

Ngoku, kwinyanga emva kokuba uthintelo lwabo kwindawo yokomba ye-CGL iqalile ukusekwa, inkampu imile yomelele. Abantu baseWet'suwet'en kunye namahlakani abo balungiselela ubusika obuzayo. Lixesha lokuba uzibandakanye nabo.
