Impi, abaholi bethu basitshela, kuyadingeka ukwenza umhlaba ube indawo engcono.
Hhayi, mhlawumbe hhayi kakhulu kubantu abayizigidi ezingama-43 abaxoshwe emakhaya abo futhi bahlala esimweni esingesihle njengabantu abasuswe ngaphakathi (izigidi ezingama-24), ababaleki (abayizigidi eziyi-12), nalabo abalwela ukubuyela emakhaya.
Izibalo ze-UN zokuphela konyaka wezi-2013 (utholwe laphaUhlu lweSyria njengemvelaphi yezigidi eziyisishiyagalolunye zabadingisiwe. Izindleko zokwandisa impi eSyria zivame ukuphathwa njengezindleko zezezimali noma - ezimweni ezingavamile - njengezindleko zomuntu ekulimaleni nasekufeni. Kukhona nezindleko zabantu zokonakalisa imizi, omakhelwane, amadolobhana namadolobha njengezindawo zokuhlala.
Mane ubuze iColombia eza endaweni yesibili kulandela iminyaka yempi - indawo lapho izingxoxo zokuthula ziqhubeka khona futhi zidingeka kakhulu - phakathi kwezinye izinhlekelele - cishe abantu abayizigidi eziyisithupha abaphucwe amakhaya abo.
Impi yezidakamizwa ibhekene nempi e-Afrika, neDemocratic Republic of the Congo iza emva kweminyaka emithathu emva kokufa okusekelwe e-US impi kusukela ngeMpi Yesibili Yomhlaba, kodwa kuphela ngoba impi "yokwesaba" ishibhile. I-Afghanistan isendaweni yesine ngezigidi ezi-3.6 eziphelelwe yithemba, ezihluphekayo, ezifayo, futhi ezimweni eziningi kuyaqondakala ukuthi zithukuthele futhi zithukuthele ngokulahlekelwa yindawo yokuhlala. (Khumbula ukuthi ngaphezulu kwama-90% ama-Afghans awazange nje abambe iqhaza emicimbini ka-9-11 ebandakanya izindiza ezindizayo zakwaSaudis ezakhiweni, kepha Angikaze ngizwe yaleyo micimbi.) I-Iraq yangemva kwenkululeko isendaweni eyi-1.5 million yababaleki nababaleki. Ezinye izizwe zihlonywe ngeziteleka ezivamile zemicibisholo yase-US ezenza phezulu ohlwini zibandakanya iSomalia, iPakistan, iYemen - futhi, ngosizo lakwa-Israyeli: iPalestine.
Izimpi ezisiza abantu zinenkinga yokungenamakhaya.
Ingxenye yaleyo nkinga ithola indlela eya emingceleni yaseNtshonalanga lapho abantu abathintekayo kufanele babingelelwe ngokubuyiselwa kunokucasuka. Izingane zaseHonduran azilethi amaKoran atheleleke nge-Ebola. Babalekela i-coup exhaswe yi-US nabahlukumezi abaqeqeshwe e-Fort Benning. Impikiswano "yenkinga yokufuduka" kanye "namalungelo abafuduki" kufanele ithathelwe indawo yingxoxo ebucayi yamalungelo ababaleki, amalungelo abantu, nelungelo lokuthula.
