Uchungechunge lwalufaka nohambo oluya edolobhaneni laseCaimanera elisentanjeni yocingo lwenkambi yamasosha aseMelika eGuantanamo Bay. Sekuyiminyaka eyi-117 ikhona futhi selokhu kwaba ne-Cuban Revolution e-1959, i-US ibikhipha isheke unyaka nonyaka nge $ 4,085 yokukhokha minyaka yonke kwesisekelo, amasheke uhulumeni waseCuba angazange awakhokhe.

Ukuvimbela noma isiphi isizathu sodlame lwaseMelika olubhekiswe kubantu baseCuba, uhulumeni waseCuba akabavumeli abadobi baseCuba ukuthi baphume eGuantanamo Bay badlule i-US Naval Base bayodoba olwandle. Ngo-1976, amasosha ase-US ahlasela umdobi owabulawa ngokulimala kwakhe. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi iGuantanamo Bay ayivaliwe kubathengisi bezimpahla zokuhweba baseCuba.

UKULANDELWA KWEZOBUCHWEPHESHE, IZWE LENKOLO NE-US MILITARY BASE EGUANTANAMO

Ngu-Ann Wright, uColonel Colonel wase-US owayesathatha umhlalaphansi kanye noDokotela Owayengudokotela waseMelika oshiye isikhundla e-2003 ngokungahambisani neMpi kaMongameli Bush e-Iraq

NginoMongameli omusha wase-United States esezikhundleni izinyanga ezine, othumele imicibisholo engama-59 eTomahawk esikhungweni sezindiza eSyria futhi osabisa ngokuqhubeka kwezenzo zamasosha aseMelika kusuka eNyakatho Korea kuya ekuhlaselweni okwengeziwe eSyria, ngimele iqembu lama-veteran umbutho wezempi wase-US, iqembu elinqabela izimpi zase-US zokuzikhethela futhi lenqaba inani elikhulu lezisekelo zamasosha ase-US esinazo emazweni ezinye izizwe nabantu. Ngingathanda ukuthi izithunywa ezivela kwaVeterans for Peace zime.

Futhi sinabanye abavela e-United States lapha namuhla, abesifazane nabesilisa abayizakhamizi abakholelwa ukuthi i-US kumele iqede izimpi zayo kwezinye izizwe futhi iyeke ukubulala izakhamizi zayo. Ngabe amalungu eCODEPINK: Ithimba le-Women For Peace, i-Witness Against Torture kanye namalungu e-US e-World Peace Council kanye namalungu e-US ezinye izithunywa sicela basukume.

Ngingumakadebona weminyaka engu-29 we-US Army. Ngathatha umhlalaphansi njengoColonel. Ngiphinde ngasebenza eMnyangweni Wezwe wase-US iminyaka eyi-16 Kumanxusa ase-US eNicaragua, Grenada, Somalia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Sierra Leone, Micronesia, Afghanistan naseMongolia, amaNxusa amane okugcina njengePhini Lamanxusa noma kwesinye isikhathi, eyiNxusa Elibambile.

Kodwa-ke, ngoMashi 2003, eminyakeni eyishumi nane edlule, ngasula kuhulumeni wase-US ngiphikisana nempi kaMongameli Bush e-Iraq. Kusukela ngo-2003, bengilokhu ngisebenzela ukuthula futhi ngiqeda ukusebenza kwezempi zase-US emhlabeni wonke.

Okokuqala, lapha edolobheni laseGuantanamo, ngifuna ukuxolisa kubantu baseCuba ngenhlangano yezempi yaseMelika i-US eyaphoqwa eCuba e-1898, 119 eminyakeni eyedlule, abezempi ngaphandle kwaseMelika ukuthi izwe lami lihlale isikhathi eside umlando wayo.

Okwesibili, ngifuna ukuxolisa ngenhloso ye-US Naval Base Guantanamo. Ngiyaxolisa ukuthi iminyaka eyishumi nanhlanu, kusukela ngoJanuwari 11, 2002 — ijele laseGuantanamo libe yindawo yokuboshwa nokuhlukunyezwa okungekho emthethweni nokuhlukunyezwa kwabantu abangama-800 abavela emazweni angama-49. Iziboshwa ezingama-41 ezivela emazweni ayi-13 zisavalelwe lapho kubalwa amadoda ayisikhombisa abekwe amacala kwathi amathathu alahlwa yicala yinkantolo yekhomishini yamasosha aseMelika. Kuneziboshwa ezingama-7 ezingaziwa ezaziwa ngokuthi "iziboshwa ezingunaphakade" ezingasoze zathola ukuthethwa kwecala lekhomishini yamasosha ngoba ngokungangabazeki zizoveza izindlela ezingekho emthethweni, zokuhlukumeza ubugebengu izikhulu zase-US, zombili iCIA nezempi yaseMelika, ezisetshenziselwe zona. Iziboshwa ezinhlanu zahlanjululwa ukuze zikhululwe, kufaka phakathi nezibili izivumelwano zabo zokubuyiselwa ezweni ezazime eMnyangweni Wezokuvikela ezinsukwini zokugcina zokuphatha kuka-Obama nokuthi, ngokudabukisayo mhlawumbe ngeke badedelwe abaphathi bakaTrump. http://www. miamiherald.com/news/nation- world/world/americas/ guantanamo/article127537514. html#storylink=cpy. Iziboshwa eziyisishiyagalolunye zashona zisejele lamasosha aseMelika, ezintathu zazo kubikwa ukuthi zizibulele kodwa ngaphansi kwezimo ezisolisayo.

Eminyakeni eyishumi nanhlanu edlule, thina esikwethimba laseMelika senze imiboniso eminingi phambi kweWhite House. Siphazamise iCongress sifuna ukuthi kuvalwe ijele nomhlaba ubuyiselwe eCuba futhi siboshiwe sathunyelwa ejele ngenxa yokuphazamisa iCongress.
