Kutheni kufuneka kubekho iSivumelwano esichasene nokuSetyenziswa kweeDrones ezineZixhobo

NguMkhosi wase-US uColonel (Ret) kunye nonozakuzaku wangaphambili wase-US uAnn Wright, World BEYOND War, UJuni 1, 2023

Intshukumo yabemi ukuzisa utshintsho kwindlela eziqhutywa ngayo iimfazwe ezinoburhalarhume kunzima kakhulu, kodwa akunakwenzeka. Abemi baye batyhalela ngempumelelo kwizivumelwano zeNgqungquthela yeZizwe eziManyeneyo ukuba kupheliswe izixhobo zenyukliya kunye nokuvalwa kokusetyenziswa kwezigcayiseli kunye neziqhushumbisi ezingamaqela.

Kambe ke, amazwe afuna ukuqhubeka ezisebenzisa ezi zixhobo akasayi kulandela intaphane yamazwe asehlabathini aze asayine ezo zivumelwano. I-United States kunye namanye amazwe asibhozo anezixhobo zenyukliya anqabile ukusayina isivumelwano sokuphelisa izixhobo zenyukliya. Ngokunjalo, eUnited States nakwamanye amazwe ali-15, kuquka iRashiya neTshayina, zalile ukutyikitya ukuvalwa kokusetyenziswa kweebhombu zeqela.  I-United States kunye namanye amazwe angama-31, kuquka iRashiya neTshayina, zalile ukutyikitya isivumelwano sokuvalwa kwezigcayiseli.

Noko ke, isibakala sokuba amazwe “akhohlakeleyo,” aphembelela imfazwe, njengeUnited States, esala ukutyobela izivumelwano ezifunwa luninzi lwamazwe ehlabathi, asibathinteli abantu abanezazela neembopheleleko entlalweni ekuzameni ukuzisa la mazwe kwilizwe lasemzini. iingqondo zabo ngenxa yokusinda koluntu.

Siyazi ukuba sichasene nabavelisi bezixhobo abazizityebi abathenga ukuthanda abezopolitiko kwezi zizwe zemfazwe ngeminikelo yabo yezopolitiko kunye nezinye izinto ezinkulu.

Ngokuchasene nale mingeni, inyathelo lamva nje labemi lokuvala isixhobo esithile semfazwe liya kusungulwa ngoJuni 10, 2023 eVienna, eOstriya Ingqungquthela yeZizwe ngezizwe yoXolo eUkraine.

Esinye sezixhobo ezithandwayo zemfazwe ze-21^st Inkulungwane iye yajika yaba ziinqwelo-moya ezingenabantu. Ngezi nqwelo-moya zizenzelayo, abantu abasebenzisa abantu banokuba ngamashumi amawaka eekhilomitha bebukele kwiikhamera ezikwinqwelo-moya. Akukho mntu kufuneka abe phantsi ukuze aqinisekise ukuba abaqhubi bacinga ukuba babona ntoni kwinqwelomoya enokuba ngamawaka eenyawo ngaphezulu.

Ngenxa yohlalutyo lwedatha olungachanekanga ngabaqhubi bedrone, amawakawaka abantu abamsulwa e-Afghanistan, ePakistan, e-Iraq, eYemen, eLibya, eSyria, eGaza, eUkraine naseRussia babulewe ngemijukujelwa yesihogo somlilo kunye nezinye izixhobo ezibangelwe ngabaqhubi bedrone. Abantu abamsulwa abazimasa amatheko omtshato kunye neendibano zomngcwabo babulewe ngabaqhubi beenqwelomoya. Nabo beza kunceda amaxhoba oqhankqalazo lokuqala lwedrone babulewe kwinto ebizwa ngokuba “yimpompo ephindwe kabini.”

Imikhosi emininzi kwihlabathi liphela ngoku ilandela i-United States ekusebenziseni iidrones ezibulalayo. I-US yasebenzisa izixhobo ze-drones e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq kwaye yabulala amawaka abemi abamsulwa baloo mazwe.

Ngokusebenzisa i-drones enezixhobo, imikhosi akufuneki ibe nabantu emhlabeni ukuze baqinisekise iithagethi okanye baqinisekise ukuba abantu ababuleweyo bebejolise kuko. Kwimikhosi, iidrones ziyindlela ekhuselekileyo nelula yokubulala iintshaba zabo. Abemi abamsulwa ababuleweyo banokuthiwa "njengomonakalo owenzelwa isibambiso" kwaye kunqabile ukuba kuphandwe malunga nendlela ubukrelekrele obakhokelela ekubulaweni kwabantu abadalwe ngayo. Ukuba ngengozi uphando lwenziwa, abaqhubi beedrone kunye nabahlalutyi bezobuntlola banikwa imvume yokuthatha uxanduva lokubulala ngokungekho mthethweni abantu abamsulwa.

Olunye lolona qhankqalazo lwamva nje nolupapashiweyo lwedrone kubantu abamsulwa yayikwisixeko saseKabul, eAfghanistan ngo-Agasti 2021, ngexesha lokufuduswa kwe-US e-Afghanistan. Emva kokulandela imoto emhlophe kangangeeyure apho abahlalutyi bezobuntlola bakholelwa ukuba ithwele ibhombu ye-ISIS-K enokwenzeka, umqhubi wedrone wase-US uphehlelele umjukujelwa we-Hellfire emotweni njengoko itsalela kwindawo encinci yokuhlala. Kwangaxeshanye, abantwana abasixhenxe abancinci beza bebaleka besiya emotweni ukuze bakhwele umgama oseleyo besiya enkomponi.

Ngelixa umkhosi omkhulu wase-US uqale wachaza ukusweleka kwabantu abangaziwayo njengogwayimbo “lobulungisa” lwedrone, njengoko amajelo eendaba ephanda ukuba ngubani obulewe lugwayimbo lwe-drone, kwafumaniseka ukuba umqhubi wemoto yayinguZemari Ahmadi, umsebenzi weSondlo kunye neMfundo yamazwe ngamazwe. , intlangano yoncedo yaseCalifornia eyayisenza imihla ngemihla yokuhanjiswa kwezinto eziphathekayo kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo eKabul.

Xa efika ekhaya suku ngalunye, abantwana bakhe babedla ngokuphuma endlwini baye kuhlangabeza uyise baze bakhwele kwinqwelo-mafutha iimitha ezimbalwa eziseleyo ukuya kwindawo awayeza kumisa kuyo.  Abantu abadala aba-3 kunye nabantwana aba-7 babulawa koko kwaqinisekiswa kamva “njengelishwa” kuhlaselo lwabantu abamsulwa. Akukho mkhosi ululekwayo okanye wohlwaywa ngempazamo eyabulala abantu abalishumi abamsulwa.

Kwiminyaka eyi-15 edlulileyo, ndenze uhambo oluya e-Afghanistan, ePakistan, eYemen naseGaza ukuze ndithethe neentsapho eziye zaba nabathandekayo abamsulwa ababulawa ngabaqhubi bee-drone ababesebenzisa i-drones ukusuka kumakhulu ukuba kungabikho amawaka eekhilomitha kude. Amabali ayafana. Umqhubi we-drone kunye nabahlalutyi bezobukrelekrele, ngokuqhelekileyo abafana kunye nabasetyhini abakwiminyaka yabo ye-20, batolika ngendlela engafanelekanga imeko enokuthi ihlelwe ngokulula "ngeebhutsi phantsi."

Kodwa umkhosi ukufumanisa kulula kwaye kukhuselekile ukubulala abantu abamsulwa kunokubeka abasebenzi bawo emhlabeni ukuba benze uphononongo lwesiza. Abantu abamsulwa baya kuqhubeka besifa de sifumane indlela yokuyeka ukusetyenziswa kwale nkqubo yezixhobo. Imingcipheko iya kwanda njengoko i-AI ithatha ngaphezulu nangakumbi ekujoliseni nasekuqaliseni izigqibo.

Umnqophiso oyilwayo linyathelo lokuqala kwidabi elinyukayo lokulawula umgama omde kunye nemfazwe ye-drone ezenzekelayo kunye nezixhobo.

Nceda uhlanganyele nathi kwiPhulo laMazwe ngaMazwe lokuValwa iiDrones ezineZixhobo kunye sayina uxwebhu lwezikhalazo/ingxelo esiza kuyibonisa eVienna ngoJuni kwaye ekugqibeleni siyise kwiZizwe eziManyeneyo.
