Umbhalo wesikhalazo umi kanje:
Ku: Mongameli waseMelika uJoe Biden
Thina, abasayinwe ngezansi, sifisa ukudlulisa ukwesekwa kwethu okuqinile kuMbusi wase-Okinawa, uDenny Tamaki, kanye nabantu bomdabu base-Okinawa, kanye nesicelo sabo sokumiswa kokwakhiwa kwesikhumulo sezindiza samasosha aseMelika eHenoko.
NgoJanuwari 13th 2021, uMbusi uTamaki wathumela incwadi kuMongameli Biden (ebiyelwe) echaza izizathu eziningi zokuthi iphrojekthi yokwakhiwa kwe-airbase eHenoko kufanele idilizwe, kufaka phakathi:
Ukuphikiswa okumangazayo ngabantu Bomdabu base-Okinawan. Kwireferendamu yesifunda, ama-71.7% avotele iphrojekthi. Sekube nemibhikisho eqhubekayo ngisho neziteleka zendlala umphakathi.
Ukungafezeki kobunjiniyela. Uhlelo lokwakha ludinga umsebenzi omkhulu wokubuyiselwa komhlaba, kepha ulwandle oluyolungiswa luthambile njengemayonnaise futhi lubangela izinkinga ezinkulu zobunjiniyela okudale ukuthi usuku lokuphothulwa luqhutshwe kusuka ngo-2014 kuya ku-2030 nezindleko ezisuka ku- $ 3.3 billion ziya ku- $ 8.7 billion. Abanye onjiniyela abakholelwa ukuthi kungenzeka nokwakha. Ngisho noMark Cancian weCentre for Strategic and International Study (CSIS) uphethe ngombiko oqhutshwe yiqiniso ukuthi mancane amathuba okuthi iphrojekthi iqhubeke iphothulwe. [1] Ngaphezu kwalokho, isiza sisengozini yokuzamazama komhlaba. Kunephutha elisebenzayo ngaphansi kwesayithi. [2]
Ukulimala kwemvelo okungenakulungiswa. Indawo yolwandle ebuyiswayo ihlukile kokuhlukahlukana kwayo futhi iyikhaya lezilwane ezincelisayo zasolwandle ezisengozini njengama-dugong.
I-United States igcina izakhiwo zezempi eziyi-119 eJapan. I-Okinawa, eyenza kuphela u-0.6% wendawo yonke yaseJapan ephethe ama-70% alezi zakhiwo, ezihlanganisa ama-20% alesi siqhingi esincane. Sekungamashumi eminyaka abantu base-Okinawa behlupheka ezandleni zamabutho. Isosha laseMelika selivele lidale umonakalo omkhulu ngezingozi zezindiza, ubugebengu obenziwa ngamalungu ezinsizakalo zase-US kanye nokungcoliswa okukhulu kwemvelo yizinto ezinobuthi ezifana nePFAS. Okuncane kakhulu okwakwenziwa yiMelika ukumisa ukwakha esinye isisekelo kulesi siqhingi esivinjezelwe.

Indawo ebiyelwe: UMbusi weSifunda sase-Okinawa, eJapan, uDenny Tamaki, incwadi eya kuMongameli okhethwe uBiden kanye nePhini likaMongameli-Elect Harris, yangomhla ziyi-13 kuJanuwari 2021:
Mongameli Othandekayo Biden kanye nePhini Likamongameli-Okhethiwe uHarris,
Egameni labantu abayizigidi eziyi-1.45 base-Okinawa, eJapan, ngithanda ukunihalalisela ngokukhethwa kwakho ukuba nguMongameli olandelayo kanye nePhini likaMongameli wase-United States. Siyawuthokozela umnikelo omkhulu we-United States kwezokuphepha kwezwe laseJapan kanye nasekuthuleni nasekuzinzeni e-East Asia.
Abantu abaningi e-United States banobudlelwano bomuntu siqu ne-Okinawa. Isibonelo, i-Okinawa Association of America eSifundazweni SaseCalifornia inamalungu amakhulu kunawo wonke ezwenikazi i-United States, futhi ifinyelele ngaphezu kwamalungu ayi-1,000 50,000. Ngokufanayo, cishe abantu abayi-XNUMX XNUMX esifundazweni saseHawaii banezizukulwane zase-Okinawan ngokufuduka. Abantu base-Okinawa nabo bakhuthaze isiko labo eliyingqayizivele ngokufaka isiko laseMelika ngemuva kweMpi Yezwe II. Lokhu kufanekisela izibopho eziqinile, ezisuselwa emlandweni phakathi kwe-United States ne-Okinawa, futhi ngibheke phambili ekwakheni ubudlelwano obusondelene ne-Administration yakho.
Ngiyakuqonda ukuthi ubudlelwano beJapan ne-US, kubandakanya umfelandawonye wezokuphepha wamazwe omabili, kube nomthelela omkhulu ekuphepheni kwezwe laseJapan kanye nasekuthuleni nasekusimeni e-East Asia. Khonamanjalo, u-Okinawa udlale indima enkulu ngokungenakulinganiswa ekusekeleni umfelandawonye. Amaphesenti angaphezu kwama-70 wezikhungo zamasosha ezisetshenziswa kuphela amabutho ase-US eJapan (kufaka neKadena Air Base) agxile e-Okinawa, noma i-Okinawa ibalwa ngamaphesenti angu-0.6 kuphela wendawo yonke yaseJapan. Lokhu kuholele ezinkingeni eziningi kubantu base-Okinawa selokhu kwaphela iMpi Yezwe II. Lokhu kufaka phakathi umsindo / izingozi zezindiza zamasosha, amacala amabi enziwa ngamalungu ezinsizakalo zase-US, nokungcoliswa kwemvelo yizinto ezinobuthi ezifana nePFAS.
Njengoba kunikezwe ukukhuphuka kwamasosha eChina muva nje, izikhungo zamasosha ase-US ezigxile e-Okinawa sezisengozini enkulu. Ngiyazi ukuthi iMarines yase-US yethule imiqondo emisha yokusebenza efana ne-Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) futhi seyishintshela ekusebenziseni amakhono ahlakazekile, amancane kakhulu e-Indo-Pacific. Ngethemba lokugcina umfelandawonye waseJapan-US uzinzile, ngithanda ukucela ukwesekwa kwakho ukwehlisa umkhondo wezempi e-Okinawa lapho wenza ezinye izinqumo maqondana nezinqubomgomo ze-Indo-Pacific.
Njengamanje, iphrojekthi yokwakhiwa kweFutenma Replacement Facility (FRF) e-Okinawa ibhekene nokuphikiswa okuqinile komphakathi. Lowo owayengumbusi uTakeshi Onaga nami sanqoba ukhetho lobubusi ngokubamba isithembiso somkhankaso sokuphikisana nalolu hlelo. Kwireferendamu yesifunda kuphrojekthi ye-FRF, abantu abangama-434,273, ababhekele iningi labavoti (amaphesenti angama-71.7), bavota bephikisana nomsebenzi.
Uhlelo lokwakha ludinga umsebenzi omkhulu wokubuyiselwa komhlaba, kepha ulwandle lapho umsebenzi kuhlelwe khona lwaziwa umhlaba wonke ngokuhlukahluka kwalo okukhulu futhi kuyikhaya lezilwane zasolwandle ezisengozini njengama-dugongs. Njengoba ulwandle oluzobuyiswa luthambile njengemayonnaise, iphrojekthi idinga ukwenziwa ngcono kwesisekelo ngokushayela izinqwaba ezingama-71,000 olwandle. Uhulumeni waseJapan, owengamele lo msebenzi, njengamanje ulinganisela ukuthi ukwakhiwa kuzothatha okungenani eminye iminyaka eyi-12 ngemali yonke ebiza cishe ama- $ 9.3 billion. Izazi zokwakheka komhlaba zixwayisa nangobungozi bokuthi umhlaba ungabibikho ngokungalingani ngoba cishe u-70% womsebenzi wokulungisa kabusha uzokwenziwa endaweni lapho amanzi ajule kakhulu, ulwandle alulingani kakhulu, futhi isisekelo esithambile sisatshalaliswa ngokungahleliwe. Imisebenzi yokuzamazama komhlaba kule ndawo iphinde yalungiswa ngochwepheshe, abazwakalise ukukhathazeka ngobukhona bezintambo ezisebenzayo zokuzamazama komhlaba.
Lobu bunzima bungaba nomthelela omubi ekusebenzeni kwesikhathi esizayo kweMarines e-FRF noma ngabe iphrojekthi isiqediwe eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-10 kusukela manje. Uma ukuzamazama komhlaba okunamandla kwenzeka kule ndawo, kungadala ubungozi obukhulu kumalungu ezinsizakalo zase-US, imishini nezinsiza zaseMarines, kanye nentshisekelo kazwelonke yase-US. Ngalolu daba engqondweni, ngithanda ukucela ukuhlolwa okuphelele kwephrojekthi ngabaphathi bakho.
Siyabonga ukunaka kwakho kulolu daba futhi silangazelela ukusebenzisana.
Ozithobayo,
UMbusi waseDenny Tamaki weSifunda sase-Okinawa, eJapan
