Okinawa- Cishe ababhikishi baseJapan abayikhulu namashumi amahlanu bahlangana ukuvimba amaloli okwakha ukuthi angangeni endaweni yase-US 'Camp Schwab', ngemuva kokuthi uMnyango Wezomhlaba ukhiphe isinqumo sababusi bendawo sokuhoxisa imvume yezinhlelo zokwakha, begxeka "izwe elimaphakathi nezwe. ” Uhulumeni waseJapan wokufaka engcupheni izithakazelo zezemvelo, ezempilo kanye nokuphepha kwabantu base-Island.
Amaphoyisa ezidubedube aphume emabhasini ngehora lesithupha ekuseni, ngaphandle kwababhikishi abane kwabane kuya koyedwa, kanti abahleli bomgwaqo bavele bahamba ngesikhathi esingaphansi kwehora ukuze kungene izimoto ezakhayo.
Bonke osodolobha nabamele uhulumeni base-Okinawa baphikise ukwakhiwa kwesizinda esisha esisogwini, esizogcwalisa indawo engamahektha ayikhulu namashumi ayisithupha e-Oura Bay, ukuze kube nohlelo lokwakha lwamahektha angamakhulu amabili nanhlanu oluzoba yingxenye yomzila wezindiza wezempi.
Izazi zezinto eziphilayo zasolwandle zichaza i-Oura Bay njengendawo ebucayi ye-‘dugong’ (uhlobo lwe-manatee), edla kule ndawo, kanye nezimfudu zasolwandle kanye nemiphakathi emikhulu yamakhorali eyingqayizivele.
Ichweba likhethekile kakhulu ngesimiso salo semvelo esicebile ngokwedlulele esithuthuke ngenxa yemifula eyisithupha ephakathi nezwe ehlangana ethekwini, okwenza amazinga olwandle ajule, futhi afaneleke kusuka ezinhlotsheni ezihlukahlukene zamakhorali nama-porites ezidalwa ezincike kuwo.
I-‘Camp Schwab’ ingesinye sezisekelo ezingu-32 zase-U.S. ezithatha u-17% weSiqhingi, sisebenzisa izindawo ezihlukahlukene zokuzivocavoca kwezempi kusukela ekuqeqesheni ehlathini kuya ekuqeqesheni indiza enophephela emhlane ye-Osprey. Kukhona ngokwesilinganiso ama-Osprey angama-50 asuka futhi ahlale nsuku zonke, amaningi eduze kwezindlu nezindawo zokuhlala ezakhiwe, okubangela ukuphazamiseka ekuphileni kwansuku zonke ngamazinga omsindo owedlulele, ukushisa kanye nephunga likadizili elivela ezinjinini.
Ezinsukwini ezimbili ezedlule bekuboshwe abayisithupha ngaphandle kwesizinda, kanye 'namaKayactivists' olwandle bezama ukuphazamisa ukwakhiwa. Ulayini osabekayo wamabhuya abomvu aboshiwe uphawula indawo ekhishelwe ukwakhiwa, egijima esuka ezweni eya eqenjini lamadwala asogwini, i-Nagashima kanye ne-Hirashima, echazwa ama-shaman endawo njengendawo lapho ama-dragons (umthombo wokuhlakanipha) avela khona.
Ababhikishi nabo banenqwaba yezikebhe ezihamba ngesivinini eziyisa emanzini azungeze indawo evalekile; impendulo yonogada basogwini iwukusebenzisa iqhinga lokuzama ukugibela lezi zikebhe ngemva kokuzigingqa endleleni.
Umuzwa omangalisayo wabantu bendawo ukuthi uHulumeni ezwenikazi uzimisele ukudela izifiso zabantu base-Okinawa ukuze aphishekele izindlela zakhe zokuvikela impi ngokumelene neChina. Iboshwe yi-Article 9, iJapan ayizange ibe nebutho kusukela ngempi yezwe yesibili, nakuba izinyathelo zikaHulumeni ziphakamisa isifiso sokuchitha lesi Sigaba futhi siqale 'ubudlelwano obukhethekile' ne-U.S., esevele ilawula le ndawo ngokudlula. 200 izisekelo, futhi ngaleyo ndlela kuqiniswe i-pivot yase-Asia ngokulawula imizila yohwebo yomhlaba nolwandle, ikakhulukazi leyo mizila esetshenziswa yi-China.
Ngaleso sikhathi, iJapan ifinyelela ku-75% womthethosivivinywa wokuhlalisa i-US, isosha ngalinye libiza uHulumeni waseJapan ama-yen ayizigidi ezingama-200 ngonyaka, lokho kungu- $ 4.4 billion ngonyaka kumasosha ase-US angama-53,082 aseJapan njengamanje, cishe ingxenye (26,460) ezinze e-United States. Okinawa. Isisekelo esisha e-Henoko kulindeleke ukuthi sibize uHulumeni waseJapane isamba esihlelekile nenani lentengo lamanje elibalwe okungenani libe yi-5 trillion yen.
I-Okinawa yalahlekelwa kakhulu phakathi neMpi Yezwe Yesibili, kwathi ingxenye yesine yabantu yabulawa phakathi nezinyanga ze-3 'Impi yase-Okinawa' eyabulala i-200,000 isiyonke. Ama-Hilltops kuthiwa ashintshile isimo ngenxa yokuqhunyiswa kwezinhlamvu.
Isishoshovu sendawo u-Hiroshi Ashitomi ubebhikisha eCamp Schwab selokhu kwamenyezelwa ukunwetshwa eminyakeni eyi-11 edlule, uthe: “Sifuna isiqhingi sokuthula nekhono lokuzenzela izinqumo, uma lokhu kungenzeki mhlawumbe singadinga. qala ukukhuluma ngokuzimela."
