Usuku Lwangempela Lomakadebona

Ibhalwe nguJohn Miksad, Izwi Lokuthula, November 10, 2021

Abanye 30,000 okuthunyelwe ngo-9/11 amalungu enkonzo kanye nomakadebona bebelokhu belangazelela ngokwanele ukuba bazibulale. Usuku lwangempela lomakadebona lungahlinzeka ngezinsizakalo zokusekela ngokwengqondo nezomzimba ezingafuna ukunciphisa noma ukuqeda lezi zingozi zokuzilimaza.

Bangu 40,000 omakadebona abangenamakhaya kuleli zwe. Usuku lwangempela lomakadebona lungabhekana nezidingo zabo ezingokwenyama nezingokomzwelo futhi lubasize bathole izindlu ezihlala unomphela.

Oyedwa kwabangu-10 omakadebona be-9/11 kutholakale ukuthi unenkinga yokusebenzisa kabi izidakamizwa. Usuku lwangempela lomakadebona lungabasiza bathole ukwelashwa ngaphandle kokucwaswa noma amahloni.

Amaphesenti ayishumi nanhlanu omakadebona be-post 9/11 uhlushwa i-PTSD. Usuku lwangempela lomakadebona lungabahlinzeka ngezinsizakalo zezempilo yengqondo abazidingayo ukuze babhekane nokuhlukumezeka okulimaza umphefumulo abakuthola.

Yebo, okuwukuphela kwekhambi langempela ukuvimbela lesi sihlava esibi esibhekene nabo omakadebona bethu ngokugcina izinsizwa nezintombi zethu zingabi sengozini futhi sizivikele ezinhlekeleleni ezibehlelayo ngenxa yokuhlukumezeka kwempi ngokomzimba nangokomzwelo. Lena indlela engcono kakhulu yokuvikela nokweseka nathi sonke. Iqiniso liwukuthi izinsongo zangempela zokuphepha nokuvikeleka kwethu azikwazi ukubhekwana nezenzo zezempi.

Okokuqala, ubhubhane lwe-COVID luthathe izimpilo zezakhamizi zase-US ezingama-757,000 kule minyaka emibili edlule. Kudingeka sisebenze ukuze sidlule kulo bhubhane bese sithatha izifundo esizitholile ukuze silungiselele ubhubhane oluzayo. Lokhu kuzodinga isikhathi, amandla, nezinto.

Okwesibili, ukuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu kuthinta kakhulu izakhamizi zase-US kanye nabantu emhlabeni jikelele. Sesiyabona manje; isandla sokuqala; izikhukhula, imililo yequbula, iziphepho, amagagasi okushisa, isomiso, ukushabalala kwezinhlobo zezinto eziphilayo ngesivinini, kanye nababaleki bokuqala besimo sezulu. Ochwepheshe babikezela ukuthi zonke lezi zenzakalo zizoqhubeka zikhula ngobuningi nobukhulu.

Okwesithathu, usongo lwe ukubhujiswa kwenuzi ibilenga phezu kwamakhanda ethu njengenkemba yamaDamocles iminyaka engaphezu kwengama-70. Kube nezingcingo eziseduze kanye nokuphuthelwa okusondele emashumini eminyaka kodwa siyaqhubeka nokuvumela abaholi bethu ukuthi badlale inkukhu yenuzi, ebeka engcupheni impucuko kanye nakho konke ukuphila emhlabeni.

Zonke lezi zinsongo ziyizinsongo zomhlaba wonke, ezisongela bonke abantu bazo zonke izizwe futhi zingaxazululwa kuphela ngempendulo yomhlaba wonke. Akunandaba ukuthi ubani onobukhosi emhlabeni uma kungumlotha. Njengamanje, silwela izihlalo zedekhi ku-Titanic ngenkathi umkhumbi wehla. Kuwubuwula, kuyalimaza, futhi kuwukuzibulala.

Indlela entsha iyadingeka. Izindlela zakudala zeMpi Yomshoshaphansi azisasisebenzisi. Sidinga i-paradigm entsha ethatha isikhundla sokuncintisana okungaphezi egameni lezintshisekelo kazwelonke zezomnotho ezithinta ukukhathazeka emhlabeni jikelele. Kusentshisakalweni yabo bonke abantu kanye nazo zonke izizwe ukubhekana nalezi zinsongo zomhlaba wonke. Impi nezingxabano kwandisa ukwesaba, inzondo nokusolana. Sidinga ukudiliza imigoqo ekhona phakathi kwezizwe futhi siqale ukusebenzisana ezintweni ezingasilimaza futhi zibukele phansi ukuphepha nokuvikeleka kwethu.

Njengamanje, uKhongolose wase-US ubulokhu udingida (ngenkulumompikiswano yomphakathi ehambisanayo) ngokufaneleka kwemithetho emibili emikhulu manje ehlanganisa cishe amabhiliyoni amathathu emali esetshenziswayo eminyakeni eyi-3. Inkulumompikiswano isinezinyanga iqhubeka. Kodwa-ke, ngasikhathi sinye, iCongress iphokophela ukuthi inani lemali elinganiselwa ku-$10 trillion yepulani lePentagon ngesikhathi esifanayo nengxoxo encane eWashington DC kanye nengxoxo yomphakathi encane. Kudingeka siqaphele ukuthi amasosha angeke akwazi ukuxazulula izinkinga zethu zamanje noma zesikhathi esizayo; ngempela, ukubeka kabusha imali yethu eqhulwini manje kungaxazulula eziningi zazo. Ukuqeda ukufa, ukuhlupheka, kanye nokucekelwa phansi okubangelwa imijaho yezikhali nempi kuyisinyathelo sokuqala sokwakha ukwethembana okudingekayo ekubambisaneni kwamazwe ngamazwe nokusebenzisana. Okuwukuphela kwesizathu sokuxoxisana, ukuxoxisana, izivumelwano, kanye nokulwela ukuthula okuhlala njalo akuzange kusebenze ingoba akukakazanywa.

Ukuqeda impi nezempi kuzosivumela ukuthi sigxile ekwehliseni noma ekuvimbeleni ukulimala okubangelwa izinsongo ezikhona. Besizovuna izinzuzo ezengeziwe futhi. Ukwehliswa kokwesaba nokusola “okunye,” ukunciphisa ingcindezi, ukukhathazeka, nokukhathazeka, indawo ehlanzekile, intando yeningi ethuthukisiwe, inkululeko enkulu, kanye nokuhlupheka kwabantu okuncane kuzohambisana nokushintsha kwezimali kusuka kwezempi kuya ezidingweni zangempela zokuqinisekisa ukuphila. Singathuthukisa imfundo, sihlanze amanzi ethu, sinciphise udlame emphakathini wethu, sithuthukise ingqalasizinda yethu, sinikeze izindlu ezingcono, futhi sakhe umnotho osimeme esingaziqhenya ngokuwushiyela abazukulu bethu. Singasiza amasosha ethu amanje nomakadebona kule nqubo. Ngamanye amazwi, singasebenzela ukwakha umhlaba ongcono kunokuba sicekele phansi ezinye izizwe nesethu ngezimpi ezingapheli.

Isizwe esinengqondo sizobona umlando wokuhluleka okukhulu kwezempi eminyakeni engu-70 edlule futhi siphethe ngokuthi impi ayizixazululi izinkinga zethu; empeleni kuyababhebhethekisa. Isizwe esinengqondo esibheke phambili ngeke sikhethe ukuqhubeka kwezempi futhi singalokothi siqede impi lapho ubhubhane, ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu, kanye nosongo lwempi yenuzi kubeka sonke isintu engozini.

Lolu Suku Lomakadebona kufanele lube ukuzibophezela okunamandla enkonzweni yeqiniso kazwelonke, ukukhetha ukuthula, ukukhetha indawo esihlala kuyo, ukukhetha ikusasa elihle labazukulu bethu.
