Kule minyaka engu-5 eyedlule, imisebenzi yokukhankasela ukulwa nemishini engahambisani nedrone ifake ukungena esikhungweni sokulawulwa kwe-drone eRAF Waddington ukutshala ingadi yokuthula nokwenza ukuhlolwa kwezakhamizi; ukuvimba umkhiqizi we-drone wakwa-Israyeli i-Elbit Systems; kanye nokusingatha njalo umcimbi wokundiza kite waseLondon ukumelana nama-drones ahlomile. Kulo nyaka, njengoba abantu base-Afghanistan begubha unyaka wabo omusha eNao Roz, Amazwi we-Creative Nonviolence-UK imema imiphakathi e-US ukuthi ijoyine i- “Fly Kites Not Drones"Umkhankaso.
Lo mkhankaso wokuthula wethulwa eminyakeni engu-5 edlule abasemkhankasweni wokuthula ongeyena onobubele eKabul abanolwazi lokuzibonela lokulahlekelwa amalungu omndeni abulawa ama-drones. Lo mkhankaso wenziwa ukugqamisa ukwesaba nokulimaza okwenziwa yidrones ehlomile ezinganeni, kangangoba sebesaba kakhulu ukubamba iqhaza ekuphishekeleni ikhayithi ezindiza kakhulu e-Afghanistan. I- Amavolontiya Wokuthula e-Afghan kubuza abagqugquzeli bamazwe ngamazwe ukuba baphonse ama-kites eMnyakeni Omusha wasePheresiya, 21st Mashi, ngokubambisana nezingane zase-Afghan.
Fly Kites Not Drones sekuye kwavela amazwe ngamazwe ngezindiza ezindizayo ukuba zibhekwe njengezenzo zokubambisana emhlabeni wonke kubantu abasha abahlala ngaphansi kwama-drones ahlomile, ukukhanyisa abahlukumezi basekhaya kanye nokuhlukunyezwa kwengqondo okubangelwa yi-drones.
Ukubizelwa okuphuthumayo kukhishwa ukujoyina lesi senzo ngokulandela izindaba zamuva ukuthi kuzobekwa kabusha imithombo yezempi yase-US e-Afghanistan. I-Army General uJohn Nicholson, u-Top Commander e-Afghanistan Ubeke amazwana"Njengoba izimpahla zikhululeka e-Iraq naseSyria futhi zilwa ngempumelelo [ne-Islamic State] kuleyo nkundla, silindele ukubona izimpahla eziningi ziza e-Afghanistan." Ngokusho kweBrussels, izikhulu ezingamadlelandawonye zithi zikubonile ukushintsha kwezinto eziseqhulwini e-US ngengcindezi kwi-NATO ukugxila kancane eMiddle East kepha ngaphezulu kwi-Afghanistan. IPentagon isanda kwenza amasu okuhambisa kabusha ama-drones, amanye ama-hardware kanye nabeluleki abasha bokulwa abayi-1,000 XNUMX e-Afghanistan ngesikhathi 'senkathi yokulwa' evame ukuqala ngeNtwasahlobo.
E-Afghanistan, abantu ababulawa yizizwe bahlala isikhathi esiphezulu. Okokugcina Umbiko we-UNAMA eshicilelwe ngoJulayi 2017 kubalwe abantu abangu-1,662 ababulewe ezinyangeni eziyisithupha zokuqala zonyaka kwathi abangu-6 3,581 balimala, kanti kulabo ababulawa abayi-174 kwakungabesifazane kwathi abangama-436 baba yizingane, okwenyuka ngo-23% nangu-19% ngokulandelana kusukela ngonyaka owedlule. Agasti kaTrump isibambiso ukumisa ukwakhiwa kwesizwe nokulwa namaphekula cishe ngokuqinisekile kuhumusha ekuqhubeni ukuqhuma kwamabhomu angaphandle futhi ngaphezu kwalokho impi ye-drone, okungukuthi ngokuzenzakalelayo kusho ukwanda kokufa kwabantu.
Isenzo sokundiza ikhayithi silula kepha sifanekisela ngokujulile. Kuma-Afghani kuyingxenye esemqoka yamasiko abo kanye nempilo yomphakathi; ivinjelwe ngaphansi kweTaliban manje isinophawu olungeziwe lokumelana. Umyalezo osisekelo walo mkhankaso ukuthi isibhakabhaka esihle esiluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kufanele sigcinwe njengendawo yobumnandi, isimanga nenjabulo. Izikhali ezibangela ukwesaba nokwesaba, ukudala indawo yonke ebulalayo engahlala amasonto ngisho nezinyanga akufanele yeqe isibhakabhaka e-Afghanistan noma kunoma yimuphi omunye umhlaba.
Fly Kites Not Drones ngumkhankaso oqhubekayo i-APV inhloko ngonyaka. Ngakho, lo Nao Roz, (ukuqala koMnyaka Omusha wase-Afghan), ku 21st Mashi (noma eduze naleso sikhathi) bajoyine abafowenu nodadewethu e-Afghanistan, bameme abangani bakho bese uhamba uhambe ngendiza epaki yakho yangasese, isikhala esivulwayo, ogwini noma isisekelo sezempi! Yenza uphawu, i-leaflet elula, thatha izithombe bese usazisa. @kitesnotdrones #FlyKitesNotDrones info@dronecampaignnetwork.rise
