Cishe unyaka nesigamu ngaphambi kokuba ngizalwe maphakathi nedolobha, uDkt. Martin Luther King Jr. wethula inkulumo eSontweni laseRiverside elibizwa ngokuthi Ngale kweVietnam. Wathi: “Isizwe esiqhubeka unyaka nonyaka sisebenzisa imali eningi ekuvikelweni kwezempi kunasezinhlelweni zokuthuthukisa umphakathi sisondela ekufeni ngokomoya.” Wayazi kahle ukuthi amasosha ayengasetshenziselwa ukuzivikela, kodwa ulimi lokwamukela impi lwalusungulwe kahle ngaleso sikhathi. Manje sesilapha eminyakeni engaphezu kwengxenye yekhulu kamuva, kade sasondela, sabingelela, futhi sadlulela ngalé kokufa okungokomoya, futhi sibheka emuva singale kwethuna.
Silapha. Siyanyakaza siyakhuluma. Kodwa ingabe kungashiwo ukuthi siphila ngendlela esimeme isikhathi esingaphezu kwesesibili ohlelweni olukhulu lwezinto? Sibheka emuva sisuka ezweni elivaleleke endleleni eya empini yenuzi, indlela ekhomba ngale kwempi yenuzi - uma ngabe kunenhlanhla enkulu noma umzamo othile ukuyigwema - ekucekeleni phansi kwemvelo okuhamba kancane nokuwa. Sibheka emuva kusukela esikhathini lapho abenzi bokufudumala ababi kakhulu nabathengisi bezikhali behlangene e-Hiroshima ukuze basitshele ukuthi impi nezikhali ziwumsebenzi womphakathi, nokuthi bazokwenza umsebenzi wabo futhi basinikeze okwengeziwe ngaleyo nsizakalo.
"Isikhathi siyeza lapho ukuthula kuwukukhaphela," kusho uDkt King ethula amazwi akhe phambili esikhathini sethu lapho singase silangazelele ngomona omkhulu wokuthula, sesijwayele ukubi kakhulu. Ngesikhathi uDkt King enza leyo nkulumo, amasosha ase-US enza ihaba phezulu futhi azishaya isifuba ngokuthi bangaki abantu ababulalayo, njengophawu lwenqubekela phambili. Namuhla liyabulala futhi lisitshela ukuthi lisindisa izimpilo, lisakaza intando yeningi, lihlinzeka ngenzuzo yokupha esintwini ngenxa yokuphana. Uma udla izindaba eziningi zase-US, uba yisiphukuphuku. Ngicela ngithule!
Inkinga ukuthi ngezinye izikhathi abantu bayakukholelwa lokho abakutshelwayo. Abantu bacabanga ukuthi, njengoba bekungenjalo iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-80, iningi labantu abafayo nabahluphekayo ezimpini lenziwa amasosha ahlasela futhi athathe izwe. Ngisho, hhayi uma iRussia ikwenza. Khona-ke inqwaba yezisulu - abantu abahlala e-Ukraine - bemi endaweni ebonakalayo. Kepha ezimpini zase-US, amabhomu kucatshangwa ukuthi azoqhuma kancane ezingeni lamehlo nezimbali ezincane kanye nemithetho-sisekelo iphuma ngaphandle.
Eqinisweni, kulabo ababulawa ezimpini zase-US - noma izimpi ze-proxy zase-US ngaleyo ndaba - ukufa kwe-US akukho ngaphezu kwamaphesenti ambalwa, futhi uma sicabangela labo ababulawa ngokungaqondile ngokubhujiswa kwezizwe, ukufa kwe-US kuba yingxenye eyodwa. iphesenti. Impi iwukuhlaba kohlangothi olulodwa.
Kodwa uma sibuyela emcabangweni wokusebenzisa okuthile ezinhlelweni zokufukula umphakathi, kusho ukuthi ukufa nokulimala nokuhlupheka kuphindaphindeka kaningi futhi kukhona noma yikuphi emhlabeni, kuhlanganisa khona lapha, ebesingayisebenzisa imali esikhundleni sokuyichitha ekubulaleni okuhleliwe.
Ukube uDkt King akazange abulawe unyaka owodwa ngemva kwaleyo nkulumo, ngeke sazi ukuthi wayezothini namuhla, sithatha umhlaba njengoba unjalo namuhla. Kodwa singaqiniseka ukuthi wayezokusho emgodini omnyama wokucwaninga abezindaba kanye nezinsolo ezimbi zokuthi uqashwe uVladimir Putin. Angase asho okuthile okucishe kufane nalokhu (uma sicaphuna futhi sishintsha futhi sengeza enkulumweni yakhe kusukela ngo-1967):
Kufanele kucace ngokusobala ukuthi akekho umuntu onokukhathalela ubuqotho nokuphila kwezwe namuhla ongayishaya indiva indlela eyaholela empini e-Ukraine, noma izinhlangothi ezimbili, hhayi olulodwa, ezilwela ukuvimbela ukuthula.
Futhi njengoba ngizindla ngobuhlanya base-Ukraine futhi ngifuna ngaphakathi kimi izindlela zokuqonda nokuphendula ngozwela, ingqondo yami iya njalo kubantu balelo zwe kanye nenhlonhlo yaseCrimea. Kumele babone abantu baseMelika njengabakhululi abayinqaba. Bavote kakhulu ukuphinde bajoyine iRussia kulandela ukuketula umbuso okwesekwa yi-US e-Ukraine. Akekho ophakamisa ukuthi baphinde bavote. Akekho ophakamisa ukuthi anxenxelwe ukuthi avote ngendlela ehlukile. Kunalokho, kumelwe zibuyiswe ngendluzula, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ziyathanda noma cha, nokuthi ziletha impi yenuzi noma cha nobusika benuzi okungekho muntu oyoke alulame kukho.
I-Russia ikhumbula ukuthi abaholi baseMelika benqabile kanjani ukusitshela iqiniso mayelana nezingxoxo zangaphambilini zokuthula, ukuthi umongameli uthe kanjani ukuthi azikho lapho bekwenza ngokusobala. Ohulumeni abaningi emhlabeni bakhuthaza ukuthula, futhi uhulumeni wase-US uhlinzeka ngezindiza zempi kanye nokugcizelela impi. Sidinga uhulumeni wase-US ukuthi ahlehlise indlela, aqede ukuthunyelwa kwezikhali, amise ukukhuliswa kwemifelandawonye yezempi, asekele ukumiswa komlilo, futhi avumele izingxoxo ezihambisana nokuyekethisa kanye nezinyathelo eziqinisekiswa yizinhlangothi zombili ukuze kubuyelwe ukwethembana.
Uguquko lwangempela lwamanani luzobeka isandla kuhlelo lwezwe futhi luthi ngempi, "Le ndlela yokuxazulula ukungezwani ayilungile." Leli bhizinisi lokushiswa kwabantu, lokugcwalisa amakhaya omhlaba ngezintandane nabafelokazi, lokujova izidakamizwa ezinobuthi ezinenzondo emithanjeni yabantu abajwayele ubuntu, lokushiya amadoda, abesifazane nezingane bekhubazekile ngokomzimba futhi bephazamisekile ngokomqondo, alikwazi ukuhlangana nokuhlakanipha. , ubulungisa, nothando.
Uguquko lwangempela lwamanani lusho ekuhlaziyeni kokugcina ukuthi ukwethembeka kwethu kufanele kube okwamabandla kungabi ngokwezigaba. Zonke izizwe manje kufanele zithuthukise ukwethembeka okwedlulele esintwini sisonke ukuze kulondolozwe okuhle kakhulu emiphakathini yazo ngayinye.
UDkt King wayeyinto ehamba phambili kulo mphakathi. Kufanele silalele.
