NguDavid Swanson, September 19, 2019

Eminyakeni emine edlule, Ngikubhale lokhu ngemuva komhlangano e-US Institute of Peace:

Umongameli we-USIP uNancy Lindborg waba nokuphendula okungajwayelekile lapho ngiphakamisa ukuthi ukumema uSenator uTom Cotton ukuthi azokhuluma e-USIP ngesidingo sempi ende ne-Afghanistan kwakuyinkinga. Uthe i-USIP kufanele ijabulise iCongress. Kulungile. Ubuye wengeza ukuthi ukholelwa ukuthi kunethuba lokuphikisana ngokuthi sizokwenza kanjani ukuthula e-Afghanistan, ukuthi kunendlela engaphezu kweyodwa yokuthula. Vele bengingacabangi ukuthi 'sizokuthula' e-Afghanistan, bengifuna ukuthi thina 'siphume lapho sivumele abantu base-Afghans ukuthi baqale ukusebenza kuleyo nkinga. Kepha ngabuza uLindborg ukuthi ngabe enye yezindlela zakhe zokuthula yayiya empini. Ungicele ukuthi ngichaze impi. Ngathi le mpi yayiwukusebenzisa amasosha aseMelika ukubulala abantu. Uthe ukuthi 'amabutho angalwi' kungaba yimpendulo. (Ngiyaqaphela ukuthi kukho konke ukulwa kwabo, abantu basashisa nje esibhedlela.)

NgoLwesine, Septhemba 19, 2019, ngithole i-imeyili evela kuMick, uLauren E CIV SIGAR CCR (USA), obhale:

E-11: 00AM EST, Umhloli Omkhulu, uJohn F. Sopko uzokwembula imibiko yezifundo zakamuva ze-SIGAR - "Ukuhlanganiswa kabusha Kwabantu Abangaphandle Kwabo: Izifundo Esipiliyoni Se-US e-Afghanistan" - e-United States Institute of Peace eWashington, DC. Lo mcimbi uzoba nezethulo ezivela kuMhloli Jikelele Sopko, ezolandelwa yingxoxo yephaneli. Lo mbiko ungumbiko wokuqala ozimele, wohulumeni baseMelika ohlola lesi sihloko. Bukela a I-webcast bukhoma yomcimbi lapha.

Amaphuzu ayisihluthulelo:

• Ukuhlanganiswa kabusha kwalabo ababekade beyilwa kuzodingeka kube nokuthula okuqhubekayo, kanye nenye yezinselelo ezicindezela kakhulu umphakathi wase-Afghan, uhulumeni kanye nomnotho.
• Uma uhulumeni wase-Afghanistan neTaliban befika esivumelwaneni sokuthula, abalingisi be-Taliban abasebenza ngokugcwele be-60,000 nabanye abalwa isizini ye-90,000 bangafuna ukubuyela empilweni yezakhamuzi.
• Imvelo yamanje yezingxabano eziqhubekayo e-Afghanistan ayisihambeli ezinhlelweni zohlelo lokuphinda zisebenze.
• Ukungabikho kwesivumelwano esibanzi sokuhlaliswa kwezepolitiki noma isivumelwano sokuthula kwakuyinto esemqoka ekwehlulekeni kwezinhlelo zangaphambilini zokubuyiselwa kwe-Afghanistan eziqondise kubalwa abakwaTaliban.
• Izwe laseMelika akufanele lisekele uhlelo lokubuyiselwa kwabantu ngaphandle kokuthi uhulumeni wase-Afghan kanye neTaliban bavumelane ngemigomo yokubuyiselwa kabusha kwalabo ababekade beyizimpi.
• Ngisho nanamuhla, uhulumeni wase-US akanayo i-ejensi eholayo noma ihhovisi lezingqinamba eziphathelene nokuhlanganiswa kabusha kwezilwi. E-Afghanistan, lokhu kube nomthelela ekungatholakali kokucacile mayelana nezinhloso zokubuyiselwa ebuhlotsheni nokuhlobana kwabo nokubuyisana. . . .

Inothi lika-Inspector General Sopko:

• 'Uma nje umbuso wamaTaliban usaqhubeka, i-US akufanele isekele uhlelo olubanzi lokuhlanganisa kabusha labo ababengabalweli, ngenxa yobunzima ekuvoteni, ekuvikeleni nasekulandeleni ababengabalweli.'

Qaphela noma yini ehlekisayo?

I-United States kumele ibe "ne-ejensi yokuhola" futhi ixhase noma ingasekeli izinhlelo ezithile zokuhlanganisa ama-Afghans kabusha e-Afghanistan ngemuva kokufika kokuthula.

Ngakho-ke ukuthula akufanelanga kufake hlangana nokusuka e-United States.

Kepha, kunjalo, lokho kusho ukuthi ngeke kube khona ukuthula.

Futhi, "Imvelo yamanje yezingxabano eziqhubekayo e-Afghanistan ayifanele uhlelo oluyimpumelelo lokuhlangana kabusha." Ngempela? Iminyaka edlule ye-18 yokusebenza kwe-US ayizange ibe nomphumela omuhle wokuphinda wakhe kabusha umphakathi ongenawo umsebenzi wase-US?

Lolu uhlobo lobuze obungenamqondo obukhiqizwe ngokuba nesixuku sabantu abazinikezele ngokuphelele ezimpini zase-US ezinikezwe umsebenzi ngokwenza izinto abakubiza ngokuthula.

O, indlela, United States sisanda kuhlanganiswa iqembu lonke lase-Afghans ngesiteleka se-drone. Indawo eyodwa okuholwa kuyo i-US engalinganiselwa ukuthi indawo eyodwa ingahle ibekezelele?

Nanku umbono othenjiswe ngumongameli wokugcina wase-US, okhankaselwa ngumongameli wamanje wase-US, futhi ogqugquzelwa abantu abamele ukhetho lwentando yeningi beDemokhrasi: Get the fuck out!
