Ezinsukwini ngemva kwendiza yempi yase-US ibhomu isibhedlela i-Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) eKunduz, e-Afghanistan, kwashona abantu abangamashumi amane nambili, abangamashumi amabili nane kubo okuyiziguli, umongameli wamazwe ngamazwe we-MSF, uDkt. Joanne Liu udlule kule ngozi futhi walungiselela ukudlulisa amazwi enduduzo amalungu omndeni walabo ababulewe. Ividiyo emfushane, eqoshwe ngo-Okthoba, 2015, uyathwebula usizi lwakhe olungachazeki lapho ekhuluma ngomkhaya, ngayizolo, owawulungiselelwe ukuletha indodakazi yawo ekhaya. Odokotela babesize intombazane ukuba ilulame, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi impi yayishuba ngaphandle kwesibhedlela, abaphathi batusa ukuba umkhaya ufike ngakusasa. “Uphephe kakhudlwana lapha,” besho.
Ingane yayiphakathi kwalabo ababulawa ukuhlasela kwe-US, okwenzeka ngezikhathi zemizuzu eyishumi nanhlanu, ihora nesigamu, nakuba i-MSF isivele ikhiphe izicelo eziphuthumayo encenga amabutho ase-United States kanye ne-NATO ukuba ayeke ukuqhunyiswa ngamabhomu esibhedlela.
Okudabukisayo kukaDkt. Liu kwabonakala kunanela amazwi kaPapa Francis ekhala ngezinhlupheko zempi. “Siphila nalo mkhuba wobuSathane wokubulalana ngenxa yesifiso sokubusa, isifiso sokulondeka, isifiso sezinto eziningi. Kodwa ngicabanga ngezimpi ezifihliwe, lezo ezingabonwa muntu, ezikude nathi,” kusho yena. “Abantu bakhuluma ngokuthula. IZizwe Ezihlangene zenze konke okusemandleni, kodwa azizange ziphumelele.” Imizabalazo engakhathali yabaholi abaningi bomhlaba, njengoPapa Francis noDkt. Joanne Liu, yokumisa amaphethini zempi yamukelwa ngamandla nguPhil Berrigan, umprofethi wesikhathi sethu.
"Ngihlangabeze ePentagon!" UPhil Berrigan wayevame ukusho njengaye wanxusa abangane bakhe ukuze babhikishele ukusetshenziswa kwePentagon ngezikhali nezimpi. “Nimelene nanoma yiziphi izimpi,” kunxusa uPhil. “Akukaze kube nempi elungile.”
“Ungadinwa!” wanezela, wabe esecaphuna isaga samaBuddha, “Ngeke ngibulale, kodwa ngizovimbela abanye ukuba bangabulali.”
Ngokuphambene kakhulu nokuzimisela kukaBerrigan ukuvimbela ukubulala, iCongress yaseMelika isanda kudlulisa umthethosivivinywa ozobophezela ngaphezu kwengxenye yesabelomali saseMelika ezindlekweni zempi. Njengoba uNorman Stockwell ephawula, “Umthethosivivinywa iqukethe cishe amabhiliyoni ayi-1.7 woxhaso lwe-FY2023, kodwa kuleyo mali, amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-858 abekelwe amasosha ("imali yokuvikela") kanye nenye imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-45 zamaRandi "osizo oluphuthumayo oluya e-Ukraine nabalingani bethu be-NATO." Lokhu kusho ukuthi ngaphezu kwengxenye (amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-900 ku-$ 1.7 trillion) ayisetshenziselwa "izinhlelo ezingezona ezokuvikela" - futhi leyo ngxenye encane ihlanganisa amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-118.7 ukuze kuxhaswe i-Veterans Administration, enye izindleko ezihlobene nezempi.
Ngokuqeda izimali ezidingeka kakhulu ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezidingo zabantu, isabelomali “sokuvikela” saseMelika asibavikeli abantu eziwubhadane, ukuwa kwemvelo, kanye nokubola kwengqalasizinda. Kunalokho iqhubeka nokutshalwa kwezimali okuphazamisekile kwezempi. Ukungaguquki okungokwesiprofetho kukaPhil Berrigan, ukumelana nazo zonke izimpi nokukhiqizwa kwezikhali, kuyadingeka manje kunanini ngaphambili.
Ngokusebenzisa ukuqina kukaPhil Berrigan, izishoshovu emhlabeni wonke zinjalo ukuhlela INkantolo Yamacala Amacala Empi Yabathengisi Bokufa. I-Tribunal, ezobanjwa ngoNovemba 10 - 13, 2023, ihlose ukwethula ubufakazi mayelana nobugebengu obubhekiswe esintwini enziwa yilabo abakha, bagcine, bathengise futhi basebenzise izikhali ezisetshenziselwa ukuhlukumeza abantu abavaleleke ezindaweni zempi. Kufunwa ubufakazi kwabasinde ezimpini zase-Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, naseSomalia, ukubala izindawo ezimbalwa lapho izikhali zase-US zithuse abantu abebengaqondile ukusilimaza.
NgoNovemba 10, 2022, abagqugquzeli beNkantolo Yamacala Obugebengu Bempi Yokufa kanye nabasekeli babo banikeze i-“Subpoena” emahhovisi ezinkampani kanye nabaqondisi bezinkampani zabakhiqizi bezikhali u-Lockheed Martin, u-Boeing, uRaytheon, kanye ne-General Atomics. Incwadi yokubizela enkantolo, ezophelelwa yisikhathi ngo-February 10, 2023, ibaphoqa ukuthi banikeze i-Tribunal yonke imibhalo eveza ukuba nesandla ekulekeleleni uhulumeni wase-United States ukuthi enze Ubugebengu Bempi, Ubugebengu Obumelene Nobuntu, Ukufumbathisa, Nokweba.
Abagqugquzeli balo mkhankaso bazoqhubeka nezinyathelo zanyanga zonke ngaphambi kweNkantolo yeNkantolo bedalula izinsolo zobugebengu bezimpi enziwa abakhiqizi bezikhali. Abakhankasi baqondiswa ubufakazi obuhlabahlosile bukaDkt. Cornel West:. “Sininika icala, izinhlangano ezixakeke ngokuzuza impi, niziphendulele,” esho, “niziphendulele!”
Ngesikhathi sokuphila kwakhe, uPhil Berrigan wavela esosha waya kwisazi waba isishoshovu esiyisiprofetho esimelene nezikhali zenuzi. Ngobuhlakani wahlobanisa ukucindezelwa kohlanga nokuhlupheka okubangelwa impi. Efanisa ukungabi nabulungisa kwezinhlanga ne-hydra embi eyakha ubuso obusha kuyo yonke indawo yomhlaba, uPhil wabhala ukuthi isinqumo esingenaluzwela sabantu base-US sokucwasa ngokwebala asenzanga “ukuba kube lula kodwa kube nengqondo ukukhulisa ukucindezela kwethu ngendlela yenuzi yamazwe ngamazwe. izinsongo.” (Azisekho Izihambi, 1965)
Abantu abasatshiswa ubuso obusha bempi be-hydra ngokuvamile abanandawo yokubalekela, akukho ndawo yokucasha. Izinkulungwane zezinkulungwane zezisulu ziyizingane.
Njengoba sikhumbula izingane eziye zagogeka, zahlukumezeka, zaxoshwa, izintandane futhi zabulawa izimpi eziqhubekayo ekuphileni kwethu, kufanele nathi siziphendulele. Inselelo kaPhil Berrigan kumele ibe ngeyethu: “Ngihlangabeze ePentagon!” Noma izitolo zayo zebhizinisi.
Isintu asikwazi ukuphila ngokuhambisana namaphethini aholela ekuqhunyisweni kwezibhedlela nokuhlatshwa kwezingane.
