ukusuka Iimpawu eziqhelekileyo
Yintoni ikholera encinane — uxolo, the ukuqhambuka okubi kakhulu kwesi sifo sinokuthintelwa kwimbali yanamhlanje - xa kuthelekiswa neemfuno zoqoqosho olusebenza kakuhle?
Kwiveki ngaphambi kokuba agxothwe kwiKhabhinethi yeNkulumbuso yaseBritane uTheresa May ngesityholo sokubukela iphonografi kwikhompyuter yakhe, owayesakuba nguNobhala Wokuqala Welizwe. UDamian Green Ucatshulwe kwiGuardian esithi izixhobo zaseBritani ezithengiswa eSaudi Arabia zaziyimfuneko kuba: “Ishishini lethu lezokhuselo lingumdali obaluleke kakhulu wemisebenzi nempumelelo.”
Loo mazwi ayisiyo ihlazo-ishishini nje njengesiqhelo. Kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo iGreat Britain ibonelela kuphela ikota yezixhobo I-Saudi Arabia ingenisa ngaphandle ukwenza imfazwe etshabalalisayo ngokuchasene nabavukeli baseHouthi eYemen. I-United States ibonelela ngaphezu kwesiqingatha, namanye amazwe ali-17 nawo enza imali kule ntengiso.
Oku kulinganisa inxalenye enkulu yehlabathi emfazweni, kunye nabaphumeleleyo abaninzi kwaye bambalwa, abaphulukiyo abangahoywanga ngokulula. Abaphulukeneyo babandakanya uninzi lwabemi baseYemen, esele yaba ngumhadi wokuphelelwa lithemba, indlala kunye nesifo esosulelayo siqinisa isihogo abanyanzelwa ukuba basinyamezele, njengoko abadlali bezizwe ngezizwe bezabalazela ulawulo lwengingqi.
Olu hlobo lwempambano beluqhubeka ukususela ekuqaleni kwempucuko. Kodwa amazwi akhwaza ngokuchasene nemfazwe ahlala ejongelwe phantsi kwaye engenamandla ezopolitiko njengakuqala. Imfazwe iluncedo kakhulu kwezopolitiko nakwezoqoqosho ukuba ibe sesichengeni socelomngeni lokuziphatha.
“Indlela esiyiqonda ngayo imfazwe . . . ubhidekile yaye awenzanga kakuhle njengoko zazinjalo iingcamango zezifo malunga neminyaka engama-200 eyadlulayo,” utshilo uBarbara Ehrenreich kwincwadi yakhe. Igazi leRites.
Lo ngumbono onika umdla, xa ucinga ukuba "Ubhubhani wekholera eYemen uye waba sesona sifo sikhulu kwaye sisasazeka ngokukhawuleza kwimbali yanamhlanje," ngaphezu koku. isigidi samatyala arhanelwayo ingxelo, kwaza kwasweleka abantu abamalunga nama-2,200. "Bamalunga nama-4,000 amatyala arhanelwayo axelwa mihla le, ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha sawo aphakathi kwabantwana abangaphantsi kweminyaka eli-18," ngokutsho kukaKate Lyons we. iGuardian. "Abantwana abangaphantsi kwesihlanu bathatha ikota yazo zonke iimeko."
ULyons ucaphula uTamer Kirolos, umlawuli we-Save the Children NGO eYemen: “Ngokungathandabuzekiyo le yingxaki eyenziwe ngabantu,” utshilo. “Ikholera iphakamisa intloko kuphela xa kukho ukonakaliswa ngokupheleleyo kwenkqubo yogutyulo. Onke amaqela kungquzulwano kufuneka athathe uxanduva ngemeko engxamisekileyo yezempilo esizifumana sikuyo.”
Ndiyaphinda: Le yingxaki eyenziwe ngumntu.
Iziphumo zalo mdlalo wobuchule wamandla zibandakanya ukuwa kwenkqubo yelindle yaseYemen kunye nezempilo yoluntu. Kwaye bambalwa kwaye bambalwa abantu baseYemenis abanokufikelela kwi. . . amanzi acocekileyo, ngenxa kaThixo.
Kwaye yonke inxalenye yomdlalo weqhinga lamandla. Ukuze kuxoshwe abavukeli baseShiite abaxhaswa yi-Iran, umfelandawonye waseSaudi "ujolise ekutshabalaliseni imveliso yokutya kunye nokuhanjiswa" ngephulo labo lokuqhushumba, ngokutsho kweLondon School of Economics umphandi uMartha Mundy. Ndithe ndakufunda oku, andikhange ndikwazi ukuzibamba kodwa ndacinga nge-Operation Ranch Hand, iqhinga lase-US ngexesha leMfazwe yase-Vietnam yokutshabalalisa izityalo kunye nokugquma kwamahlathi ngokuzalisa ilizwe malunga neelitha ezingama-20 zezigidi zemichiza yokutshabalalisa ukhula, kuquka neAgent Orange edume kakubi.
Sisiphi isiphelo somkhosi okanye sezopolitiko esinokufuna inyathelo elinjalo? Ubunyani bemfazwe budlula yonke inkcazo, yonke ingqumbo.
Kwaye intshukumo yokulwa imfazwe yehlabathi, ngokokwazi kwam, inamandla angaphantsi kunaleyo yayisenza kwisiqingatha senkulungwane eyadlulayo. Ezopolitiko zase-US ziyaqhambuka, azilungelelanisi ukwenza ikamva eliphilileyo nelikhuselekileyo. UDonald Trump ngumongameli.
Ukulandela intetho yakhe yobume beManyano ngoLwesibini ebusuku, i I-Bulletin ye-Atomic Scientists, ehambise iClock yayo yeDoomsday ngaphambili imizuzu emibini ukuya ezinzulwini zobusuku, ukhuphe ingxelo:
“Abadlali abaphambili benyukliya bakwincopho yogqatso olutsha lwezixhobo, oluya kuxabisa kakhulu kwaye luya kwandisa amathuba eengozi kunye nokungaqondi kakuhle. Kwihlabathi liphela, izixhobo zenyukliya zikulungele ukuba ngaphezulu kunokuba zingasetyenziswa kakhulu ngenxa yotyalo-mali lwezizwe kwiindawo zazo zenyukliya. UMongameli uTrump wayecacile kwiNtetho yakhe yoBume beManyano phezolo xa wathi 'kufuneka siphucule kwaye sakhe ngokutsha izixhobo zethu zenyukliya.' . . .
“Iikopi ezivuzayo zoPhononongo oluzayo lweNuclear Posture lucebisa ukuba i-US sele iza kuqalisa indlela engakhuselekanga, engenaxanduva nebiza kakhulu. I-Bulletin ibonise inkxalabo malunga nendlela amazwe afana ne-United States, i-China ne-Russia ahamba ngayo, kwaye ukuqhubela phambili kwesi nyaniso sitsha kuyakhula. "
Le yingxaki eyenziwe ngabantu. Okanye ngaba yinto engaphantsi kwaleyo-ingxaki yeemvakalelo zomntu ezimbi kakhulu? EYemen, ikholera kunye nendlala ziye zavezwa ngamadoda ezama uloyiso ngesizathu sabo. Ubuso bokubandezeleka kunye nabantwana abafayo - iziphumo zolusukelo - zixhokonxa umothuko. Oku kuphosakele ngokucacileyo, kodwa ngokwe-geopolitically, ngaba ikho into etshintshayo?
Ugonyamelo lusathengiswa njengemfuneko yokhuseleko. "Kufuneka siphucule kwaye sakhe ngokutsha izixhobo zethu zenyukliya." Kwaye isathengwa, noko ngabo bacinga ukuba ubundlobongela bujoliswe komnye umntu.
