Wonke Ilungu Elilodwa LeCongress Lizimisele Ukuyeka Izingane Zase-Yemeni Zife.

Uma ufuna ukufakazela ukuthi leso sitatimende asilungile, ngicabanga ukuthi uzofuna ukuqala ngokufakazela iphutha elilodwa noma ngaphezulu kulawa maphuzu amahlanu:

1. Ilungu elilodwa leNdlu noma leSigele lingaphoqelela ivoti elisheshayo ekuqedeni ukuhlanganyela kwe-US empini yaseYemen.
2. Alikho nelilodwa ilungu elenzile kanjalo.
3. Ukuqeda ukubamba iqhaza kwe-US kuzoyiqeda ngempumelelo impi.
4. Naphezu kwesivumelwano sesikhashana, izigidi zabantu zithembele ekuqedeni impi.
5. Izinkulumo ezinogqozi ngo-2018 nango-2019 ezenziwe ngamaSenenja nabameleli abafuna ukuthi impi iphele lapho bazi ukuthi bangathembela ku-veto evela kuTrump zishabalele phakathi neminyaka ye-Biden ikakhulukazi ngoba Iphathi ibaluleke kakhulu kunezimpilo zabantu.

Ake sigcwalise la maphuzu amahlanu kancane:

1. Ilungu elilodwa leNdlu noma leSigele lingaphoqelela ivoti elisheshayo ekuqedeni ukuhlanganyela kwe-US empini yaseYemen.

Nakhu incazelo kusukela eKomidini Labangane Lemithetho Kazwelonke:

“Noma yiliphi ilungu leNdlu noma leSigele, kungakhathalekile ukuthi linikezwe yiliphi ikomiti, lingasebenzisa isigaba 5(c) seSinqumo Samandla Empi futhi lithole ivoti eliphelele lokuthi kumele yini umongameli asuse amasosha aseMelika empini. Ngaphansi kwemithetho yenqubo ebhalwe ku-War Powers Act, lezi zikweletu zithola isimo esisheshisiwe esidinga iCongress ukuthi yenze ivoti eliphelele laphansi phakathi nezinsuku eziyi-15 zomthetho zokwethulwa kwayo. Lesi simiso siwusizo ikakhulukazi ngoba sivumela amalungu eCongress ukuthi aphoqelele izinkulumo-mpikiswano ezibalulekile namavoti ngokusetshenziswa kukamongameli kwebutho lezempi kanye negunya lempi yeCongressional. "

Nakhu isixhumanisi ekubhalweni kwangempela komthetho (njengoba isinqumo saphasiswa ngo-1973), kanye elinye (njengengxenye yomthetho okhona ngo-2022). Kwesokuqala, bheka isigaba 7. Kokunye, bheka isigaba 1546. Zombili zisho lokhu: lapho isinqumo sethulwa kanjalo, ikomiti lezangaphandle lendlu ethintekayo alitholi izinsuku ezingaphezu kweziyi-15, bese indlu egcwele ithola inombolo. ngaphezu kwezinsuku ezi-3. Ezinsukwini eziyi-18 noma ngaphansi uthola inkulumo-mpikiswano kanye nevoti.

Manje, kuyiqiniso ukuthi iRepublican House idlulile umthetho ukwephula futhi ukuvimbela ngempumelelo lo mthetho ngoDisemba ka-2018 ukuvimbela noma yikuphi ukuphoqelelwa kwamavoti ekuqedeni impi yaseYemen kuze kube sekupheleni kuka-2018. The Hill kubike:

“'USomlomo [uPaul] Ryan [(R-Wis.)] uvimbela uKhongolose ekwenzeni umsebenzi wethu womthethosisekelo futhi futhi, wephule imithetho yeNdlu,' [Rep. Ro Khanna] esitatimendeni. [Rep. U-Tom] Massie wanezela esitezi seNdlu ukuthi lesi sinyathelo 'siphula kokubili uMthethosisekelo kanye noMthetho Wamandla Empi ka-1973. Ngesikhathi ucabanga ukuthi iCongress ngeke ikwazi ukuthola ixhaphozi,' kusho yena, 'siqhubeka nokweqa ngisho nalokho obekulindelwe okuncane kakhulu. '”

Ngokusho the Washington Examiner:

"'Kuwuhlobo oluthile lokunyakaza kwenkukhu, kodwa uyazi, ngokudabukisayo kuwuphawu lokuphuma emnyango," uVirginia Democrat [kanye noSenator] uTim Kaine etshela izintatheli ngomthetho weNdlu ngoLwesithathu. '[URyan] uzama ukudlala ummeli waseSaudi Arabia, futhi lokho kuwubuwula.'”

Ngokwazi kwami, alikho iqhinga elinjalo eliye ladlalwa selokhu kwaqala unyaka ka-2019, noma wonke amalungu e-US Congress, kanye nayo yonke imithombo yezindaba, iyakuvuna noma ikubona kungakufanele ukubikwa noma kokubili. Ngakho-ke, awukho umthetho ohlehlise i-War Powers Resolution. Ngakho-ke, kumile, futhi ilungu elilodwa leNdlu noma iSenethi lingaphoqelela ivoti elisheshayo ekuqedeni ukuhlanganyela kwe-US empini yaseYemen.

2. Alikho nelilodwa ilungu elenzile kanjalo.

Ngabe sesizwile. Naphezu kwezithembiso zomkhankaso, i-Biden Administration kanye neCongress bagcina izikhali zigelezela eSaudi Arabia, futhi bagcine amasosha ase-US ebamba iqhaza empini. Yize zombili izindlu zeCongress zivotele ukuqeda ukubamba iqhaza kwe-US empini lapho uTrump ethembise i-veto, akukho ndlu eke yabamba inkulumo-mpikiswano noma ivoti onyakeni nesigamu selokhu uTrump ahamba edolobheni. Isinqumo seNdlu, HJRes87, inabaxhasi abangu-113 - abaningi kunalabo abake batholakala ngesinqumo esaphasiswa futhi savinjelwa nguTrump - ngenkathi I-SJRes56 eSenate inabaxhasi abangu-7. Nokho awekho amavoti abanjwayo, ngoba “ubuholi” boMkhandlusisekelo bukhetha ukungakwenzi, futhi ngenxa yokuthi AKUKHO ILUNGU ELILODWA LeNdlu noma leSigele elingatholakala elizimisele ukuliphoqelela. Ngakho, siqhubeka sibuza.

3. Ukuqeda ukubamba iqhaza kwe-US kuzoyiqeda ngempumelelo impi.

Akuve akukaze kube yimfihlo, ukuthi impi "eholwa" yaseSaudi injalo othembekile use US military (ingasaphathwa izikhali zase-US) okwakungama-US ukuthi ayeke ukuhlinzeka ngezikhali noma aphoqelele amasosha ayo ukuthi ayeke ukwephula. yonke imithetho emelene nempi, ungawunaki uMthethosisekelo wase-US, noma kokubili, impi yayizophela.

4. Naphezu kwesivumelwano sesikhashana, izigidi zabantu zithembele ekuqedeni impi.

Impi yaseSaudi-US eYemen ubulele abantu abaningi kunempi yase-Ukraine kuze kube manje, futhi ukufa nokuhlupheka kuyaqhubeka naphezu kwesivumelwano sesikhashana. Uma i-Yemen ingaseyona indawo embi kakhulu emhlabeni, lokho kungenxa yokuthi i-Afghanistan imbi kangakanani - izimali zayo zebiwe - isibe.

Ngaleso sikhathi isivumelwano eYemen yehlulekile ukuvula imigwaqo noma amachweba; indlala (engase ibhebhethekiswe impi yase-Ukraine) isasongela izigidi; kanye nezakhiwo zomlando ukuwa kusuka emvuleni nasekulimaleni kwempi.

Imibiko ye-CNN ukuthi, “Ngenkathi abaningi emphakathini wamazwe ngamazwe begubha [isivumelwano], eminye imindeni e-Yemen isala ibukele izingane zayo zifa kancane kancane. Balinganiselwa ku-30,000 abantu abanezifo ezibeka impilo yabo engcupheni abadinga ukwelashwa phesheya, ngokusho kukahulumeni ophethwe ngamaHouthi enhlokodolobha i-Sanaa. Abangaba ngu-5,000 XNUMX kubo bayizingane.”

Ochwepheshe baxoxa ngesimo saseYemen lapha futhi lapha.

Uma impi imisiwe, nokho ukuthula kudinga ukwenziwa kuzinze kakhudlwana, kungani emhlabeni iCongress ingavoti ukuqeda unomphela ukubamba iqhaza kwe-US ngokushesha? Isidingo esiphuthumayo sokuziphatha ukuze amalungu eCongress akhulume cishe eminyakeni emithathu edlule sasingokoqobo futhi sisengokoqobo. Kungani ungathathi isinyathelo ngaphambi kokuba izingane ezengeziwe zife?

5. Izinkulumo ezinogqozi zamaSenator nabameleli abafuna ukuthi impi iphele lapho bazi ukuthi bangathembela ku-veto evela kuTrump zishabalele phakathi neminyaka yeBiden ikakhulukazi ngoba Iphathi ibaluleke kakhulu kunezimpilo zabantu.

Ngingathanda ukubhekisela kuSens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Mike Lee (R-Utah) kanye noChris Murphy (D-Conn.) kanye namaReps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Mark Pocan (D-Wis .) kanye noPramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) kokulandelayo umbhalo kanye nevidiyo kusukela ngo-2019 nguSens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Mike Lee (R-Utah) kanye noChris Murphy (D-Conn.) kanye namaReps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) kanye no-Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.).

UCongressman Pocan uphawule wathi: “Njengoba umfelandawonye oholwa yiSaudi Arabia uqhubeka nokusebenzisa indlala njengesikhali sempi, ulambisa izigidi zabantu abangenacala baseYemeni baze bacishe bafa, i-United States ibambe iqhaza ngenkuthalo emkhankasweni wezempi wombuso, ihlinzeka ngosizo oluqondiswe ngqo kanye nokuhlelwa kwezindiza zaseSaudi. . Sekuyisikhathi eside iCongress yenqaba ukwenza izinqumo eziphathelene nokuzibandakanya kwezempi—sesingathula ezindabeni zempi nokuthula.”

Eqinisweni, Congressman, bayakwazi ukuhogela i-BS ngale kweYemen. Nonke ningathula iminyaka neminyaka. Akekho noyedwa kini ongenza sengathi amavoti awekho - ayekhona ngenkathi uTrump eseWhite House. Nokho akekho noyedwa kinina onesithunzi sokufuna ivoti. Uma lokhu kungengenxa yokuthi ingemuva lobukhosi esihlalweni sobukhosi e-White House lalinomdwebo othi "D" kuso, sinikeze enye incazelo.

Alikho iLungu leCongress elikhuthaza ukuthula. Uhlobo luphelile.
