Ubuciko Bokulwa NeDrones

Ibhalwe nguKathy Kelly, I-Progressive, May 13, 2021

E-High Line, okuyindawo eheha izivakashi eNew York City, izivakashi ezisentshonalanga yeLower Manhattan zikhuphukela ngaphezu kwezinga lomgwaqo ziye kulokho okwake kwaba umzila wesitimela wezimpahla ophakeme futhi manje sekuwuhambo oluthe cwaka futhi oluthakazelisa ngokwakha. Lapha abahambahambayo ukujabulela ukuvuleka okufana nepaki lapho bengathola khona ubuhle basendaweni yasemadolobheni, ubuciko, kanye nobuhle bokuhlangana.

Ngasekupheleni kukaMeyi, iPlicator drone replica, ebonakala ngokuzumayo ngaphezu komgwaqo oPhakeme oMgwaqo u-30th, ingahle ibonakale ihlolisisa abantu ngezansi. “Ukubuka” kwesithombe esibucayi, esimhlophe esenziwe nguSam Durant, esibizwa nge- “Untitled (drone),” esime njengoMdluli obulala amasosha aseMelika, kuzoshanela ngokungalindelekile phezu kwabantu abangaphansi, kujikeleze ngaphezulu kwezinyawo zaso ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu- isigxobo sensimbi, ukuqondiswa kwayo kuqondiswa umoya.

Ngokungafani ne-Predator yangempela, ngeke ithwale imicibisholo emibili yesihogo somlilo nekhamera yokubhekwa. Izici eziletha ukufa kwe-drone zisusiwe esithombeni sikaDurant. Yize kunjalo, unethemba lokuthi kuzodala izingxoxo.

"Okungenasihloko (i-drone)" kuhloswe ngakho animate imibuzo "mayelana nokusetshenziswa kwama-drones, ukubhekwa, kanye nokubulawa kwabantu okuhlosiwe ezindaweni ezikude neziseduze," kusho uDurant esitatimendeni "nokuthi ngabe njengomphakathi siyavumelana futhi sifuna ukuqhubeka nale mikhuba."

UDurant ubheka ubuciko njengendawo yokuhlola amathuba nezinye izindlela.

Ngo-2007, isifiso esifanayo sokuphakamisa imibuzo mayelana nokubulawa kwabantu okude sakhuthaza umculi waseNew York uWafaa Bilal, manje onguprofesa e-NYU's Tisch Gallery, ukuthi azikhiyele ebhokisini lapho, inyanga, nanoma yiliphi ihora losuku, okuqondiswe kude ukudubula kwesibhamu sepende. Noma ngubani oku-Intanethi okhetha ukumdubula angamdubula.

Ube kade shot ngaphezulu kwezikhathi ezingama-60,000 ngabantu abavela emazweni ahlukene ayi-128. UBilal ubize lo msebenzi ngokuthi “Ukungezwani Kwasekhaya.” Encwadini evelayo, Dubula i-Iraq: Ubuciko bempilo nokuphikiswa ngaphansi kwesibhamu, UBilal kanye nombhali osebenza naye uKary Lydersen ulandise ngomphumela omangalisayo wephrojekthi ye- "Domestic Tension".

Kanye nezincazelo zokuhlaselwa kwebhola lokupenda okuqhubekayo ngokumelene noBilal, babhala ngabahlanganyeli be-Intanethi esikhundleni salokho abalwa nezilawuli zokugcina uBilal angadutshulwa. Futhi bachaza ngokufa komfowabo kaBilal, uHajj, owayenguye wabulawa ngomkhumbi wase-US oya phansi ngomcibisholo ngo-2004.

Elwa nobungozi obusabekayo bokufa okungazelelwe obuzwiwe yizwe lonke lase-Iraq, uBilal, owakhulela e-Iraq, ngalo mbukiso wakhetha ukuzwa ukwesaba okusabalele kokungazelelwe, futhi ngaphandle kwesixwayiso, wahlaselwa ukude. Uzenze waba sengozini kubantu abangamfisela okubi.

Eminyakeni emithathu kamuva, ngoJuni 2010, uBilal wenza “Futhi Ukubala”Umsebenzi wobuciko lapho umdwebi we-tattoo afaka khona inki amagama emizi emikhulu yase-Iraq emhlane kaBilal. Umdwebi we-tattoo wabe esesebenzisa inaliti yakhe ukubeka “amachashazi oyinki, izinkulungwane nezinkulungwane zawo — ngalinye emele ukulimala kwempi yase-Iraq. Amachashazi abhalwe tattoo eduze kwedolobha lapho afele khona umuntu: uyinki obomvu wamasosha aseMelika, uyinki we-ultraviolet wezakhamuzi zase-Iraq, ongabonakali ngaphandle kokuthi ubonwe ngaphansi kwelambu elimnyama. ”

UBilal, uDurant, nabanye abaculi abasisiza ukuthi sicabange ngempi yamakoloni yase-US yokulwa nabantu base-Iraq nezinye izizwe kufanele sibongwe. Kuyasiza ukuqhathanisa amaphrojekthi kaBilal noDurant.

I-drone engahlanzekile, engahlanjulwanga ingaba isifaniso esifanele sezimpi zase-US zekhulu lama-XNUMX ezingaba kude kakhulu. Ngaphambi kokuya ekhaya bayodla isidlo sakusihlwa nabathandekayo babo, amasosha akolunye uhlangothi lomhlaba angabulala abasolwa ngamasosha ngamamayela ukusuka kunoma iyiphi inkundla yempi. Abantu ababulawa ukuhlaselwa nge-drone kungenzeka ukuthi bashayela emgwaqeni, mhlawumbe beqonde emindenini yabo.

Ochwepheshe base-US bahlaziya amamayela emidwebo yokuqapha evela kumakhamera we-drone, kepha ukubhekwa okunjalo akudaluli imininingwane ngabantu ababhekiswe ku-drone opharetha.

Eqinisweni, njengoba u-Andrew Cockburn abhale ku Ukubukezwa Kwezincwadi zaseLondon, “Imithetho ye-physics ibeka ngokweqile imikhawulo yekhwalithi yesithombe kusuka kuma-drones akude okungekho mali enganqotshwa. Ngaphandle kokuthi zifanekiselwa usendaweni ephakeme kanye nasesimweni sezulu esicocekile, abantu bavela njengamachashazi, izimoto njengezikhala ezifiphele. ”

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukuhlola kukaBilal kungokomuntu siqu ngokujulile, okukhomba usizi lwezisulu. UBilal wezwa izinhlungu ezinkulu, kubandakanya nobuhlungu bokuzidweba emzimbeni, ukusho amagama abantu abanamachashazi avela emhlane wakhe, abantu ababebulewe.

Ukucabanga “Ngesihloko esingenasihloko (i-drone),” akukhathazi ukukhumbula ukuthi akekho e-US ongabiza izisebenzi ezingamashumi amathathu zase-Afghan wabulawa yi-drone yase-US ngo-2019. Umqhubi we-drone wase-US wadubula umcibisholo ekamu labasebenzi bokufika base-Afghanistan abaphumule ngemuva kosuku lokuvuna amantongomane kaphayini esifundazweni saseNangarhar e-Afghanistan. Abantu abengeziwe abangamashumi amane balimala. Kubashayeli bezindiza bezindiza baseMelika, izisulu ezinjalo zingavela njengamachashazi kuphela.

Ezingxenyeni eziningi zempi, ababhali bamalungelo abantu abanesibindi ngokumangalisayo bafaka izimpilo zabo engcupheni yokuqopha ubufakazi babantu abahlukunyezwa ngamalungelo abantu ahlobene nempi, kufaka phakathi ukuhlaselwa kwe-drone okuhlasela izakhamuzi. UMwatana wamaLungelo Abantu, ozinze e-Yemen, ucwaninga ukwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu okwenziwe yiwo wonke amaqembu aphikisayo e-Yemen. Kwezabo umbiko, "Ukufa Kwehla Esibhakabhakeni, Ukulimala Kwezomphakathi Okusetshenziswa yi-United States 'Lethal Force e-Yemen," bahlola ukuhlaselwa kwezindiza eziyishumi nambili zase-US e-Yemen, eziyishumi zazo ezenziwa yi-US drone, phakathi kuka-2017 no-2019.

Umbiko uthi okungenani izakhamuzi zase-Yemeni ezingamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalombili - abesilisa abayishumi nesishiyagalolunye, izingane eziyishumi nantathu, nabesifazane abayisithupha - babulawa kwathi abanye abayisikhombisa balimala kulokhu kuhlasela.

Embikweni, sifunda ngezindima ezibalulekile izisulu ezibulewe ezazidlala njengamalungu omndeni nawomphakathi. Sifunda ngemindeni eswele imali ngemuva kokubulawa kwabahola imiholo kubalwa abafuyi bezinyosi, abadobi, izisebenzi nabashayeli. Abafundi bachaze omunye wamadoda abulawa njengomfundisi othandekayo. Phakathi kwabashonile bekukhona abafundi basemanyuvesi nabesifazane abasebenza emakhaya. Abathandekayo abalilela ukufa kwalabo ababulewe besaba ukuzwa umsindo we-drone.

Manje kusobala ukuthi amaHouthis aseYemen akwazi ukusebenzisa amamodeli ama-3-D ukuzakhela awabo ama-drones abawashise ngaphesheya komngcele, bashaya izinhloso eSaudi Arabia. Lolu hlobo lokwanda lubhekeke ngokuphelele.

I-US isanda kumemezela ukuthi ihlela ukuthengisa i-United Arab Emirates izindiza ezingama-F-35, izindiza eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili zokuvuna, nemicibisholo eyahlukahlukene, amabhomu kanye nemishini yokulwa. I-United Arab Emirates isebenzise izikhali zayo ukulwa nabantu bayo futhi isebenzise amajele ayimfihlo e-Yemen lapho abantu behlukunyezwa futhi bephulwe njengabantu, isiphetho esilindele noma ngubani ogxeka amandla abo.

Ukufakwa kwe-drone ebheke abantu eManhattan kungabangenisa engxoxweni enkulu.

Ngaphandle kwezikhungo eziningi zamasosha ngokuphepha ngaphakathi e-United States — okuvivinywa kuyo ama-drones ukubulala e-Iraq, e-Afghanistan, e-Yemen, eSomalia, eSyria nakwamanye amazwe — izishoshovu ziye zahlela imicimbi yobuciko kaningi. Ngo-2011, eHancock Field eSyracuse, izishoshovu ezingamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalombili zaboshelwa "ukufela ngaphakathi" lapho zavele zalala phansi esangweni, zizemboze ngamashidi anegazi.

Isihloko sokuqoshwa kukaSam Durant, “Okungabizwa ngegama (i-drone),” sisho ukuthi ngomqondo othile asinamagama ngokusemthethweni, njengezisulu eziningi ze-US Predator drones senzelwe ukufana.

Abantu ezingxenyeni eziningi zomhlaba abakwazi ukukhuluma. Ngokuqhathanisa, asibhekene nokuhlushwa noma ukufa ngenxa yokubhikisha. Singatshela izindaba zabantu ababulawa manje ngama-drones ethu, noma sibuke isibhakabhaka ngokubesaba.

Kufanele sitshele lezo zindaba, lawo maqiniso, kubamele bethu esikhethiwe, emiphakathini yezenkolo, ezifundweni, kwabezindaba nakumndeni wethu nabangane. Futhi uma wazi noma ngubani eNew York City, batshele ukuthi babheke i-Predator drone eManhattan engezansi. Lokhu kuzenza idrone kungasisiza ukuthi sibhekane neqiniso futhi kusheshise ukucindezela komhlaba wonke vimbela ama-killer drones.

UKathy Kelly usebenze cishe isigamu sekhulu leminyaka ukuqeda izimpi zamasosha nezomnotho. Kwesinye isikhathi, ubushoshovu bakhe bumholele ezindaweni zempi nasemajele. Ungatholwa ku: Kathy.vcnv@gmail.com.
