Ukuba isishoshovu sokuthula kunzima ngaphansi kwezimo ezingcono kakhulu kodwa ukukhuthaza ukuthula kwenye yezindawo ezishisayo zezinkinga zomhlaba kuza nezinsolo zokuthi ungumxolisi - futhi okubi nakakhulu.
Ngomhla ziyi-13 kuZibandlela wezi-2022, uMqondisi Omkhulu we-Women Cross DMZ uChristine Ahn uthole indondo yeNgqungquthela Yokuthula Yezokulwela Ukusebenzelana Komphakathi eNgqungqutheleni Yomhlaba Ye-18 Yabaklonyeliswa Ngokuthula KaNobel ePyeongchang, eSouth Korea, kodwa ngaphandle kwengxabano.
Njengoba sonke sazi kahle, akuwona wonke umuntu - ikakhulukazi osopolitiki e-US naseNingizimu Korea - abafuna ukuthula neNyakatho Korea. Eqinisweni, uJin-tae Kim, ophiko lwesokudla, olondolozayo, umbusi we-hawkish esifundazweni sasePyeongchang, lapho kwakubanjwe khona iNgqungquthela Yomhlaba Yemiklomelo Yokuthula KaNobel, wenqabile ukuhambela ingqungquthela, ingqungquthela emayelana nokuthula.
Imithombo yezindaba yaseNingizimu Korea yathi umbusi kubikwa ukuthi ukholelwa ukuthi uChristine Ahn wayengumxolisi waseNorth Korea ngoba eminyakeni eyisikhombisa edlule, ngo-2015, wahola ithimba lamazwe ngamazwe labesifazane abangama-30, okuhlanganisa nabakwaNobel Peace Laureates, eNyakatho Korea ukuze kube nemihlangano nabesifazane baseNyakatho Korea, hhayi izikhulu zikahulumeni waseNyakatho Korea. Ithimba lokuthula libe seliwela i-DMZ liyobamba imashi nengqungquthela e-Seoul City Hall nabesifazane baseNingizimu Korea ukuze kube nokuthula eNhlonhlweni Yase-Korea.
U-Leymah Gbowee, owahlomula iNobel Peace Laureate waseLiberia owayesohambweni lwango-2015 oluya eNyakatho Korea, wethule uChristine Ahn indondo yeSocial Activism, ekhumbuza izethameli (ezazihlanganisa nabanye abayisishiyagalolunye Abahlomula Indondo Yokuthula KaNobel) ukuthi impumelelo yokuthula ngezinye izikhathi ibangelwa “ithemba elingenalutho nesenzo.”
Eminyakeni eyisikhombisa edlule, umkhankaso wokuthula we-2015 eNyakatho naseNingizimu Korea wagxekwa abanye abezindaba kanye nongoti bepolitiki eWashington naseSeoul ukuthi abesifazane ababebambe iqhaza babengamadupu kahulumeni waseNyakatho Korea. Ukugxekwa kusaqhubeka nanamuhla.
INingizimu Korea isenomthetho Wezokuphepha Kuzwelonke ocindezelayo owenqabela izakhamizi zaseNingizimu Korea ukuthi zixhumane nabaseNyakatho Korea ngaphandle uma uhulumeni waseNingizimu Korea enikeza imvume. Ngo-2016, ngaphansi kokuphatha kwe-Park Geun-hye, i-South Korean National Intelligence Services yanxusa ukuthi u-Ahn avinjelwe eNingizimu Korea. UMnyango Wezobulungiswa uthe u-Ahn unqatshelwe ukungena ngoba kunezizathu ezanele zokwesaba ukuthi angase "alimaze izintshisekelo zezwe nokuphepha komphakathi" kweNingizimu Korea. Kodwa ngo-2017, ngenxa yokunaka kwabezindaba zamazwe ngamazwe, inkonzo ekugcineni yachitha ukuvinjelwa kwabo ukuhamba kuka-Ahn.
Ukuvota eNingizimu Korea kwembula ukuthi amaphesenti angu-95 abantu baseNingizimu Korea bafuna ukuthula, njengoba azi kahle kamhlophe inhlekelele ezokwenzeka uma kunempi elinganiselwe, ingasaphathwa eyempi egcwele.
Okufanele bakwenze nje ukukhumbula iMpi yaseKorea enonya eminyakeni engama-73 edlule, noma babheke i-Iraq, iSyria, i-Afghanistan, iYemen, futhi manje ne-Ukraine. Azikho izakhamizi zaseNyakatho noma zaseNingizimu Korea ezifuna impi, naphezu kwezinkulumo nezenzo zabaholi bazo ekuqhubeni impi enkulu yempi yezempi nokudubula imicibisholo. Bayazi ukuthi kuzobulawa amakhulu ezinkulungwane nhlangothi zombili ezinsukwini zokuqala zempi eNhlonhlweni YaseKorea.
Kungakho izakhamizi kumele zithathe izinyathelo - futhi kunjalo. Amaqembu ezakhamizi angaphezu kuka-370 eSouth Korea kanye nezinhlangano zamazwe ngamazwe ezingama-74 ebiza ukuthula [KR1] eNhlonhlweni YaseKorea. I-Korea Peace Now e-United States kanye ne-Korea Peace Appeal eSouth Korea bahlanganise amashumi ezinkulungwane ukuze bacele ukuthula. E-US, ingcindezi kuKhongolose yase-US ithola amalungu engeziwe ukuthi asekele a isixazululo efuna kuphele iMpi YaseKorea.
Sihalalisela uChristine ngomklomelo ngomsebenzi wakhe ongakhathali wokuthula eNhlonhlweni YaseKorea, nakubo bonke abantu baseNingizimu Korea nase-US abasebenzela ukuthula e-Korea - kanye nawo wonke umuntu ozama ukuqeda impi kuzo zonke izindawo ezingqubuzanayo emhlabeni.
