Umbukwane We-Imperialism kanye Namandla Ezempi

Ibhalwe nguCym Gomery, World BEYOND War, November 12, 2021

I-Montreal for a World BEYOND War / Montréal pour un monde sans guerre Isahluko sethulwe kuleli sonto! Funda lesi sihloko kumxhumanisi wesahluko u-Cym Gomery mayelana nesenzo sokuqala sesahluko soSuku Lokukhumbula/I-Armistice.

Usuku lwesikhumbuzo e-Montreal, Nov. 11 2021 - NgoSuku Lwesikhumbuzo, ngathatha indlela ehamba ngaphansi eya edolobheni lase-Montreal ukuze ngihambele umlindelo owawuhlelwe yiqembu lase-Montréal i-Échec à la guerre. Unyaka ngamunye, abantu bakwa-Échec babamba “Umlindelo wokukhumbula ZONKE izisulu zempi” ukuze unikeze iphuzu eliphikisayo emikhosini yoSuku Lokukhumbula, egubha kuphela amasosha alwe ngasohlangothini lwethu.

Zombili lezi zenzakalo zenzeka endaweni efanayo, i-Place du Canada, ipaki enkulu enotshani enesithombe esikhulu phakathi nendawo. Bengiwubheke ngabomvu umlindelo njengethuba lokuxhumana nabanye abalwela ukuthula, futhi ngithathe isinyathelo sokuthula ngendlela encane.

Nokho, njengoba ngisondela kule ndawo, ngashaqeka lapho ngibona izimoto zamaphoyisa nezisebenzi yonke indawo, nezithiyo zensimbi zizungeze indawo yase-Place du Canada nakuzo zonke izindawo zokungena kuyo, kuhlanganise nemigwaqo ethile, eyayivinjwe izimoto. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwakunenqwaba yezikhulu zamasosha ezazigqoke iyunifomu ephelele, ezinye zazo zimi ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene eduze komngcele womngcele. Angikaze ngiyibone impi enjena emigwaqweni yaseMontreal. Ngabuza omunye wabo mayelana nezithiyo, futhi washo okuthile ngemikhawulo ye-COVID. Ngaphakathi kwale migoqo, ngakwazi ukubona iqoqo labantu, cishe omakadebona nemikhaya yabo, futhi emigwaqweni ezungezile, amasosha ahlomile agqoke izingubo ezigcwele zombukiso, isibhamu esikhulu, namaphoyisa engeziwe. Kwakukhona futhi okungenani amathangi amane amakhulu e-rue de la Cathédrale—indlela yokuthutha engadingekile kuleli dolobha labagibeli bamabhayisikili, kulokho okwakungahloswe kuphela ukuqinisa ukubukisa osekwenziwe kakade kwemisipha yezempi.

Ngathola iqembu lami, elibonakala ngopopopi babo abamhlophe, ekugcineni, futhi sahamba saya otshanini phambi kwesonto lamaKhatholika elibheke iPlace du Canada. Akuyona into elula! Ngisho namagceke esonto ayevaliwe, kodwa sakwazi ukufika otshanini obungaphambili ngokudlula esontweni ngokwalo.

Sathi sesibuthene esizeni, savula ibhanela lethu futhi sama kude nemikhosi eyenzeka ePlace du Canada.

Ngithole umbukwane wezempi udukile kakhulu, kodwa wawuzoba kubi kakhulu…

Kusenjalo, izwi lowesilisa elinokhahlo lamemeza ngendlela engaqondakali, futhi kwazwakala ukuqhuma kwenganono okukhulu nxazonke zethu. Kwabonakala sengathi umhlabathi ezinyaweni zami wawuzamazama: umsindo wawubonakala uhamba emzimbeni wami ngendlela yokuthi imilenze yami ibe buthakathaka, izindlebe zami zinkeneneze, futhi ngezwa ukugeleza kwemizwelo—ukwesaba, ukudabuka, intukuthelo, intukuthelo elungile. Izibhamu zaziphindaphindwa njalo ngemva kwemizuzu embalwa (kamuva ngathola ukuthi zazingu-21 sezizonke), futhi isikhathi ngasinye kwakufana. Izinyoni, cishe amajuba, zazishayelwa phezulu esibhakabhakeni, futhi lapho kuqhuma ngakunye, zazibonakala zimbalwa, kude kakhulu.

Imicabango eminingi yangena ekhanda lami:

• Ingabe ukhona owanikeza iMeya uPlante i-poppy emhlophe? Ingabe wayenokungabaza ngokuya emkhosini onjalo?
• Kungani sisakhazimulisa i-hegemony namandla ezempi?

Lokhu okuhlangenwe nakho kwangenza ngabona ukuthi into entekenteke kangakanani ukuthula. Umsindo womlilo wezikhali ikakhulukazi wavusa kimi ukwesaba, kanye nesidingo somuntu engingavamile ukusicabangela, isidingo sokuphepha—isethi yesibili yezidingo eziyisisekelo ohlwini lukaMaslow (ngemuva kwezidingo zomzimba ezifana nokudla namanzi). Kwakusangulukisa ngempela ukucabanga ukuthi lo msindo—futhi okubi nakakhulu—uyinto abantu baseYemen naseSyria, ngokwesibonelo, okufanele bahlale nayo ngokuqhubekayo. Futhi impi, ikakhulukazi izikhali zenuzi, iwusongo njalo kuyo yonke impilo eMhlabeni. Impi ebandayo yenuzi, eqhutshwa amazwe e-NATO, ifana nefu elikhulu elimnyama elilenga phezu kwesintu nemvelo. Kodwa-ke, noma ngabe ibhomu lenuzi lingakaze liqhunyiswe, ukuba khona kwezempi kusho eminye imisebenzi eminingi: Amabhomu e-F-35 ezisebenzisa uphethiloli kanye negesi ekhishwayo eningi njengezimoto zika-1900, zithuthukisa ngempumelelo noma yiliphi ithuba lokufinyelela imigomo yokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwe-COP26, ukusetshenziswa kwemali kwezempi okusiphuca ithuba lokubhekana nezinkinga eziyisisekelo zabantu njengobumpofu, imikhumbi-ngwenya ehlukumeza imikhomo nge-sonar, izisekelo zezempi ezingenela ama-ecosystem ahlanzekile njengaku Sinjajevina, isiko lempi elifunzwa ukucwasa ngokobulili, ukulwa nabansundu, ukucwasa kwendabuko kanye nokuphikisana namaSulumane, ukungakholelwa kwamaJuda, ukuzonda abantu ngabanye, kanye nokunye ukubonakaliswa kwenzondo okubangelwa isifiso sobugwala sokubusa kanye nomuzwa wokuthi uphakeme.

Engikuthathile kulokhu okwenzekayo:

Abenzi bokuthula yonke indawo: Ngicela ningayeki! Umhlaba udinga amandla akho amahle kanye nesibindi manje kunanoma yisiphi isikhathi emlandweni wokuba khona komuntu.
