Ngo-1565, uPieter Bruegel Omdala wadala "Ukubulawa Kwabamsulwa, ”Umsebenzi wobuciko wobuciko ovusa inkanuko. Umdwebo zisebenza kabusha a ukulandisa kweBhayibheli ngomyalo weNkosi uHerode wokubulala bonke abafana abasanda kuzalwa eBetlehema ngenxa yokwesaba ukuthi kuzalwe umesiya khona. Umdwebo kaBruegel ubeka isihluku esimweni samanje, i-16th Umzana waseCentury Flemish uhlaselwa ngamasosha abehlome ngezibhamu.
Efanekisa iziqephu eziningi zonya olwesabekayo, uBruegel udlulisa ukwesaba nosizi olwenzelwe izakhamizi ezivalelekile ezingakwazi ukuvikela izingane zazo. Engakhululekile ngezithombe zokubulawa kwezingane, uMbusi Ongcwele WaseRoma uRudolph II, ngemuva kokuthola lo mdwebo, wayala ukuthi kusetshenziswe kabusha. Lezi zingane ezihlatshiwe bezipendwe ngezithombe ezinjengezinyanda zokudla noma izilwane ezincane, okwenza indawo yesehlakalo ibonakale njengenye yezimpango hhayi ukubulawa kwabantu.
Ngabe ingqikithi yokulwa nempi kaBruegel ibuyekeziwe ukuhambisa izithombe zokubulawa kwezingane namuhla, kungaba yidolobhana elikude laseYemeni. Amasosha enza lokhu kuhlaba akaze afike esegibele amahhashi. Namuhla, bavame ukuba ngabashayeli bezindiza baseSaudi abaqeqeshelwe ukundiza izindiza zempi ezenziwe e-US ngaphezulu kwezindawo zomphakathi bese bethula imicibisholo eqondiswa nge-laser (ithengiswe ngu Raytheon, uBoeing noLokheed Martin), ukwehla kwehla emzimbeni, ukunqunywa ikhanda, ukukhubazeka, noma ukubulala noma ngubani osendleleni yokuqhuma nokuqhuma kwama-shard.
Ngabe ingqikithi yokulwa nempi kaBruegel ibuyekeziwe ukuhambisa izithombe zokubulawa kwezingane namuhla, kungaba yidolobhana elikude laseYemeni.
Ukuze Ngaphezu kwe iminyaka emihlanu, ama-Yemenis abhekane nezimo eziseduze nendlala ngenkathi ebekezelela ukuvinjelwa kwempi yasolwandle kanye nokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu okwenziwa njalo. IZizwe Ezihlangene zilinganisela ukuthi impi isivele ikhona zabangela Ukufa kwabantu abangama-233,000, okubandakanya ukufa kwabantu abayi-131,000 ngenxa yezimbangela ezingaqondile njengokushoda kokudla, izinsizakalo zezempilo nengqalasizinda.
Ukucekelwa phansi okuhleliwe kwamapulazi, izindawo zokudoba, imigwaqo, izikhungo zokukhucululwa kwendle nezindlu zangasese kanye nezikhungo zokunakekelwa kwempilo kudale okunye ukuhlupheka. I-Yemen icebile ngezinsizakusebenza, kepha indlala iyaqhubeka nokuhlasela izwe, i-UN imibiko. Izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zama-Yemenis zilambile futhi isigamu ngokugcwele asazi ukuthi bazodla nini ngokulandelayo. Amaphesenti angamashumi amabili nanhlanu wabantu ahlaselwe ukungondleki okuphakathi kuya kokubi. Lokho kufaka izingane ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezimbili.
Behlome ngemikhumbi iLittoral Combat Ships eyenziwe e-US, abakwaSaudi bakwazile ukuvimba amachweba omoya nolwandle abalulekile ukondla ingxenye enabantu abaningi eYemen - indawo esenyakatho lapho kuhlala khona amaphesenti angama-80 abantu. Le ndawo ilawulwa ngu-Ansar Allah, (owaziwa nangokuthi "Houthi"). Amasu asetshenziselwa ukwehlisela u-Ansar Allah isijeziso esinzima abantu abasengozini - labo abampofu, abafudukayo, abalambile nabahlaselwa izifo. Iningi liyizingane okungafanele neze zibekwe icala ngezenzo zepolitiki.
Izingane zase-Yemeni azizona "izingane ezilambile;" kunjalo ukubulawa yindlala ngamaqembu alwayo okuvinjelwa kwawo nokuhlaselwa ngamabhomu kulibhubhise izwe. Izwe laseMelika lihlinzeka ngezikhali ezibhubhisayo kanye nokuxhaswa kwezombusazwe kumfelandawonye oholwa yiSaudi, ngenkathi ngokwengeziwe iqala ezayo “izikhethi” zasemoyeni zokulwa nabashokobezi abasolwayo nazo zonke izakhamizi eziseduze kwalabo basolwa.
Okwamanje i-US, njenge-Saudi Arabia ne-UAE, inayo Imi emuva eminikelweni yayo ekusizeni abantu. Lokhu kuthinta kakhulu amandla okubhekana nabaxhasi bamazwe aphesheya.
Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ekupheleni kuka-2020, i-US yasabisa ngokuqoka u-Ansar Allah njengo “Inhlangano Yamaphekula Angaphandle” (FTO). Ngisho nosongo lokwenza kanjalo lwaqala ukuthinta izingxoxo zokuhweba ezingaqinisekile, okwenza izintengo zezimpahla ezazidingeka kakhulu zikhuphuke.
NgoNovemba 16, 2020, ama-CEO amahlanu amaqembu amakhulu osizo omhlaba jikelele ngokuhlanganyela wabhala kuNobhala Wombuso wase-US uPompeo, emnxusa ukuthi angalenzi leli gama. Izinhlangano eziningi ezinolwazi olunzulu olusebenza eYemen zichaze imiphumela eyinhlekelele leyo gama elingaba nayo ekulethweni kosizo oludingeka kakhulu lwabantu.
Yize kunjalo, uNobhala Wezwe waseMelika uMike Pompeo kumemezela, ntambama ngeSonto, ngoJanuwari 10th, inhloso yakhe yokuqhubeka nesikhundla.
USenator uChris Murphy ubize lesi sikhundla se-FTO ngokuthi “isigwebo sentambo”Ezinkulungwaneni zamaYemenis. "U-90% wokudla kwaseYemen ungeniswa kwamanye amazwe," esho, "futhi nemiklomelo yokusiza abantu ngeke ikuvumele ukungeniswa kwezentengiselwano, empeleni kunqamule ukudla ezweni lonke."
Abaholi base-US kanye nabezindaba abaningi abavamile basabela ngamandla ekuvukeleni okwethusayo e-US Capitol, kanye nokulahlekelwa okubuhlungu kwabantu abaningi njengoba kwenzeka; Kunzima ukuqonda ukuthi kungani ukubulawa kwabantu okumsulwa okuqhubekayo kwe-Trump Administration kwehlulekile ukudala intukuthelo nosizi olukhulu.
NgoJanuwari 13, intatheli u-Iona Craig kuphawulwe ukuthi inqubo ye deUhlu "Inhlangano Yamaphekula Yangaphandle" - ukuyisusa ohlwini lwe-FTO - ayikaze izuzwe esikhathini esibekiwe esingaphansi kweminyaka emibili. Uma ukuqokwa kudlula, kungathatha iminyaka emibili ukuguqula ukuqhuma okwesabekayo kwemiphumela eqhubekayo.
Abaphathi beBiden kufanele baphishekele ukuguqulwa ngokushesha. Le mpi Waqala okokugcina uJoseph Biden wayesesikhundleni. Kumele iphele manje: iminyaka emibili yisikhathi i-Yemen engenayo.
Ukujeziswa nokuvinjelwa kuyimpi ebhubhisayo, ukuhlukumeza indlala ngonya kanye nendlala engaba yithuluzi lempi. Kuholela ekuhlaselweni kwe-Iraq ngo-2003 “Okushaqisayo Nokwesabekayo”, i-US yaphikelela ngokuthi izijeziso zomnotho ezibanzi zajezisa kakhulu abantu abasengozini kakhulu e-Iraq, ikakhulukazi izingane. Amakhulu ezinkulungwane zezingane wafa ukufa kanzima, ukusweleka kwemithi nokunakekelwa kwezempilo okwanele.
Kuyo yonke leyo minyaka, abaphathi baseMelika abalandelanayo, nabezindaba ababambisene kakhulu, bakha isithombe sokuthi babezama ukujezisa uSaddam Hussein. Kepha umyalezo abawuthumele ezigungwini ezilawulayo emhlabeni wonke wawungenakuphikwa: uma ungathobeli izwe lakho ukuze ufeze intshisekelo yethu yobuzwe, sizochoboza izingane zakho.
I-Yemen ibingahlali ithola lo mlayezo. Ngenkathi i-United States ifuna ukuvunyelwa kweZizwe Ezihlangene empini yayo yaphambilini eyaba ngo-1991 ne-Iraq, i-Yemen yayihlala esihlalweni sesikhashana eMkhandlwini Wezokuphepha we-UN. Ngokumangazayo ivote ngaleso sikhathi ngokumelene nezifiso ze-United States, izimpi zayo zokuzikhethela ezungeze iMiddle East ezazishesha kancane.
“Lelo kuzoba yivoti elibiza kakhulu elithi 'Cha' owake walifaka,” kwakuyinxusa laseMelika impendulo ebandayo iye e-Yemen.
Namuhla, izingane zaseYemen zibulawa yindlala ngamakhosi kanye nomongameli behlangana ukulawula umhlaba nezinsizakusebenza. "AmaHouthis, alawula ingxenye enkulu yesizwe sawo, awalona usongo e-United States noma kuzakhamizi zaseMelika," limenyezelwe UJames North, ebhalela uMondoweiss. "UPompeo wenza lesi simemezelo ngoba amaHouthis asekelwa yi-Iran, kanti nabalingani bakaTrump eSaudi Arabia nase-Israel bafuna lesi simemezelo njengengxenye yomkhankaso wabo wokulwa ne-Iran."
Izingane aziwona amaphekula. Kepha ukubulawa kwabantu abangenacala ukwesaba. Kusukela ngoJanuwari 19, 2021, izinhlangano ezingama-268 zisayine isitatimende efuna ukuphela kwempi e-Yemen. NgoJanuwari 25, "Izwe Lithi Cha Ukulwa NeYemen" Izenzo zizoba ebanjwa emhlabeni wonke.
Kwakungomunye umdwebo kaBruegel, Ukuwa kwe-Icarus, ukuthi imbongi WH Auden wabhala:
“Ngokuhlupheka bebengakaze benze iphutha,
Abaphathi Abadala:…
kwenzeka kanjani
ngenkathi omunye umuntu edla noma evula iwindi
noma uhamba nje dully eduze…
ukuthi konke kuhamba kanjani
siphumule kakhulu kunhlekelele… ”
Lo mdwebo uthinta ukufa kwengane eyodwa. E-Yemen, i-United States -ngabalingani bayo besifunda, - ingagcina ibulele amakhulu ezinkulungwane eziningi ngaphezulu. Izingane zaseYemen azikwazi ukuzivikela; ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu zokungondleki okunamandla, babuthakathaka ngisho nokukhala.
Akufanele sijike. Kufanele siyikhuze impi esabekayo nokuvinjelwa. Ukwenza kanjalo kungasiza ukuvikela izimpilo okungenani zezinye zezingane zaseYemen. Ithuba lokumelana nalokhu kubulawa kwabantu abangenacala likhona kithi.
