Kusuka Osukwini Lwabomdabu Kuya Osukwini Lwama-Armistice

NguDavid Swanson, World BEYOND War, Okthoba 17, 2020

Ukuphawula ngocingo ngo-Okthoba 17, 2020, kumcimbi woSuku Lwabomdabu eWashington, DC, kubambezelekile kusuka ngo-Okthoba 12.

Kungase kungabikho ndawo ebaluleke kakhulu yokugubha uSuku Lwabomdabu kuneWashington, DC, isikhungo esiphathelene nezikhali zomhlaba wonke, ukwakhiwa kwesisekelo, nokwenziwa kwempi - indawo ehamba phambili yokukhiqizwa kwezikhali zenuzi kanye nokubhujiswa kwemvelo, isihlalo sikahulumeni kazwelonke nowombuso ukuthi amakoloni aphesheya kwezakhamizi ezisesigabeni sesibili eziqhingini zaseCaribbean nasePacific kanye naseWashington DC uqobo, ngenkathi egcina izikhungo zamasosha ezinkulu cishe eziyinkulungwane kwamanye amazwe angaphezu kwama-1,000, uhulumeni oqhubeka nokuhlukumeza abantu bomdabu abasele baseNyakatho Melika, basebenzisa umhlaba wokucekela phansi isibhakabhaka nokufaka ushevu emanzini, edolobheni okuthe ngemuva kwamashumi eminyaka yombhikisho izimisele ukuqamba kabusha ithimba lalo elinciphisa ukushayisana inqobo nje uma lingaliqamba ngezifudumezi.

Futhi kungani kukhona i-C eWashington DC, noma kunjalo? Ngoba iWashington ifuna ingubo yobukoloniyaliya, umbuso, ubugqila, nokuqothulwa kohlanga, futhi ngoba ithi ingumnikazi hhayi i-United States kuphela kepha namazwekazi amabili aseMelika, ibiza abantu bayo ngokuthi "amaMelika" nomsebenzi wabo owodwa omkhulu womphakathi ngokuthi "Ukuvikela" umnyango.

Amapharadesi amancane asemadolobheni aseMelika afafazwe emhlabeni wonke njengoba izisekelo zamasosha ziyimiphakathi evaliwe kuma-steroids (naku-Apartheid). Abahlali babo bavikelekile ekushushisweni ngobugebengu ngezenzo zabo ngaphandle kwamasango, kanti abantu bendawo bangeniswa ngaphakathi ukwenza umsebenzi wegceke nokuhlanza.

Izisekelo zaseMelika zakwamanye amazwe azange zisungulwe ngo-1898 ngendlela izincwadi ezitshela ngayo izingane zethu. I-United States yayinezisekelo zakwamanye amazwe ngaphambi futhi yakha okuningi ngesikhathi sempi yayo yokuzibusa emabuthweni angaphandle ahlala kwamanye amazwe adlwengula aphanga. Isiqubulo sesizwe esisha sasithi “Hheyi, lowo ngumsebenzi wethu.”

Phansi lapha e-University of Virginia umfanekiso oqhakazile ogubha uGeorge Rogers Clark awugcini nje ngokuhlonipha ukubulawa kwabantu kodwa uyiveza ngokuvumelana nesikhumbuzo esibaziweyo.

Zonke izisekelo ezakhiwe entshonalanga yezintaba ukuqhubekisela phambili amakholoni abahlali zazingezinye izizwe. Yonke impi kwakuyimpi yangaphandle. Uma ucabanga ukuthi lowo ngumlando wasendulo, ngichazele ukuthi kungani wonke amaphephandaba ase-United States ebiza impi yamanje e-Afghanistan ngempi ende kunazo zonke e-US. Babengenakukwenza lokho uma bekholelwa ukuthi aboMdabu baseMelika bangabantu. Ake ungitshele ukuthi kungani wonke amaphephandaba ase-United States ezokutshela ukuthi impi yase-US eyabulala kunazo zonke ezake zaba yi-US Civil War. Abakwazanga ukukwenza lokho uma bekholelwa ukuthi aboMdabu baseMelika nabasePhilippines nabaseKorea nabaseVietnam nabaseLaotians kanye nabase-Iraq kanye nabase-Afghani nabo bonke abantu babengabantu. Akubandakanyi ngisho nokufa kwamaMelika Omdabu i-United States eyayilwa nawo izimpi phakathi neMpi Yombango yase-US.

Iningi lothisha e-United States bazokutshela ukuthi ukunqotshwa kwensimu yinto yesikhathi esedlule, kepha izisekelo zamasosha ase-US zisemhlabeni wonke ezathathwa ngabantu ababaleka ngenkani eGreenland, eCanada, e-Alaska, eHawaii, ePanama, EPuerto Rico, eTrinidad, eKorea, e-Okinawa, eGuam, eDiego Garcia, ePhilippines naseziQhingini eziningi zasePacific.

Sidinga ukukhulisa uSuku lwaBantu Bomdabu njengomgubho wokuphila okuqhubekayo kanye nomnyakazo obheke ku world beyond war. Sidinga futhi nokuguqula iholidi elizayo uhulumeni wase-US alibiza ngoSuku Lwama-Veterans kodwa abejwayele ukulibiza Usuku lwe-Armistice.

Novemba 11, 2020, yi-Armistice Day 103 - okuyiminyaka eyi-102 selokhu kwaqedwa iMpi Yezwe I ngesikhathi esinqunyelwe (ihora le-11 ngosuku lwe-11 lwenyanga ye-11th ngo-1918 - kubulala abanye abantu abayi-11,000 ngemuva kwesinqumo sokuphela impi yayifinyelelwe kusesekuseni).

Ezingxenyeni eziningi zomhlaba lolu suku lubizwa ngoSuku Lokukhumbula futhi kufanele lube usuku lokulilela abafileyo futhi lusebenze ukuqeda impi ukuze kungabe kusakhiwa enye impi efile. Kepha lolu suku luphethwe impi, futhi i-alchemy engajwayelekile ephekwe yizinkampani zezikhali isebenzisa lolu suku ukutshela abantu ukuthi ngaphandle kokuthi basekele ukubulala abesilisa, abesifazane nezingane eziningi empini bazohlaza labo asebebulewe.

Kwaphela amashumi eminyaka e-United States, njengakwezinye izindawo, lolu suku lwabizwa ngokuthi yi-Armistice Day, futhi lwahlonzwa njengeholide lokuthula, okubandakanya nohulumeni wase-US. Kwakuwusuku lokukhumbula ngokudabukisayo nokuphela kwempi okujabulisayo, nokuzibophezela ekuvimbeleni impi ngokuzayo. Igama laleli holidi lashintshwa e-United States ngemuva kwempi yase-US eKorea kwathiwa yi “Veterans Day,” iholidi elalisekela impi lapho amanye amadolobha ase-US enqabela amaqembu eVeterans For Peace ukuthi amashe emigidini yawo, ngoba usuku seluzwakala njengo usuku lokuncoma impi - ngokungafani nokuthi yaqala kanjani.

Indaba evela ngosuku lokuqala lwe-Armistice lwesosha lokugcina elabulawa empini enkulu yokugcina lapho iningi labantu labulawa kwakungamasosha aveza ubuwula bempi. UHenry Nicholas John Gunther wayezalelwe eBaltimore, eMaryland, kubazali ababesuke eJalimane. NgoSepthemba 1917 wayebuthelwe ukusiza ukubulala amaJalimane. Ngesikhathi ebhalele ekhaya evela eYurophu echaza indlela impi eyayimbi ngayo nokukhuthaza abanye ukuthi bagweme ukubuthelwa empini, wehliswa esikhundleni (nencwadi yakhe ihlolwe). Ngemuva kwalokho, ubetshele abangani bakhe ukuthi uzozibonakalisa. Njengoba umnqamulajuqu ka-11: 00 ekuseni usondela ngalolo suku lokugcina ngoNovemba, uHenry wasukuma, waphikisana nemiyalo, futhi ngesibindi wafaka ibheyithi lakhe elibhekise ezibhamu ezimbili zaseJalimane. AmaJalimane ayazi nge-Armistice futhi azama ukumxhawula. Wayelokhu esondela futhi edubula. Ngesikhathi esondela, kuqhuma isibhamu esincane kwaqeda impilo yakhe ngo-10: 59 ekuseni uHenry wabuyiselwa isikhundla sakhe, kodwa hhayi impilo yakhe.
