Njengoba uTrump eseWhite House umhlaba wethu ubonakala ubheke phansi ngokuzumayo, nezinsongo ezintsha zasekhaya ezikhishwa njalo ngehora futhi umhlaba uguquguquka ngokuyingozi ngaphansi kwezinyawo zethu. Kungazelelwe, futhi, emigwaqweni ezweni lonke kunezinkulungwane zobuso obusha obuphikisana nokuvinjelwa kukaTrump kwamaSulumane nokunye ukuhlaselwa “kobufascist” “kumagugu aseMelika.” Ngangingase ngibambeke ngimelane nalolu dlame olungakaze lubonwe enkathini ebonakala iyintsha yenguquko engenzeka. Kodwa ngabe sengisibona isithombe.
Kwakungeyentombazane ethandekayo eneminyaka engu-8 ubudala, phakathi kwalabo abangenacala ababulawa ekuhlaseleni kwama-commando aseMelika kanye neziteleka ze-drone ngesonto eledlule eYemen. Abezindaba bakushaya indiva ukubulawa kwakhe, esikhundleni salokho babika ngokufa kwesosha laseMelika, elashona kuqala ewashini likaTrump. Kodwa ukufa kwaleyo ntombazanyana kuyindaba yangempela. Igama lakhe kwakunguNawar Al-Awlaki, indodakazi ka-Anwar Al-Awlaki, isakhamuzi sokuqala saseMelika esabulawa isiteleka saseMelika, ngo-2011. Esinye isiteleka sama-drone emasontweni amabili kamuva sabulala nendodana yakhe u-Abdulrahman eneminyaka engu-16 ubudala. Izizathu ezimangazayo zomthetho namacala ayize alandela lokho kubulala.
Akunjalo ngo-Nawar omncane, efa engabonakali, owesithathu emndenini wezisulu (inhlanhla?) elandela umugqa osuka kumongameli oyedwa kuya kolandelayo, yebo, uguquko lukamongameli olungenamthungo. Ukushona kwakhe akunakwa izinkulungwane manje ezisemigwaqweni zibhikishela ukweqisa kobudlova "ku-radical Islamic extremism," yona ngokwayo isabela ezinkulungwaneni zokufa okufana nokwakhe okwenziwa yi-US ngokungapheli kuwo kanye amazwe ababaleki akhona manje abavinjelwe.
Ukufa kwakhe kuyisikhumbuzo sokuthi konke kusafana, ukuthi naphezu kokugqashuka okusobala, induku ebulalayo idlule buthule kumbulali omusha waseMelika, igcina ngokuphepha udlame “oluvamile” olusekela izindinganiso zaseMelika.
Kukhona umehluko owodwa manje. Ezitelekeni ezedlule bekukhona okungenani ukuzenzisa okuyihlazo kokuthi kukhona ophethe, enquma ngokucophelela ngokuhlinzwa ngakunye. Kepha kulezi ziteleka zakamuva umongameli ubesanda kugcotshwa futhi akekho umqondisi weCIA noma uNobhala Wezokuvikela bebengakangeni esikhundleni. Ngakho-ke umshini wokubulala manje wabulawa abangaphansi kwePentagon noma i-CIA kungekho muntu ophethe. Umshini wokubulala eku-autopilot. Izishoshovu eziningi ezimelene nempi ziphendule ukunaka kwethu ezinsongweni zasekhaya zombuso kaTrump, zijoyina imibuthano emikhulu kakhulu kunanoma yimiphi imibhikisho yokulwa nempi phakathi neminyaka ka-Obama. Asibuboni ubuso obuningi phakathi kwezixuku ezintsha zababhikishi abashisekayo, engiqale ngabuthatha njengophawu lwethemba lokwandisa ukumelana. Kepha kunesizathu sokuthi abambalwa balaba babhikishi babekuleyo mibhikisho yangaphambili yokulwa nempi nokuthi kungani imibhikisho yabo manje isagwema ukubhekana nezimpi zaseMelika kanye neziteleka ze-drone. Kungenxa yokuthi umshini wokubulala enhliziyweni emnyama yaseMelika uhlala ungabonakali, ngaphansi kwe-radar yabo naphezu kokwazi okuvuselelwe, futhi anginawo umkhondo wokuthi ngingalishintsha kanjani lelo qiniso elidabukisayo.
Impendulo eyodwa
Kufanele kushiwo, futhi nami angiyazi impendulo. Ngizama ukusebenzela ekuguquleni uhlelo lwezimali oluqhuba ukungalingani okungaka, njengoba esinakho lapho kusekelwe emqhudelwaneni wokwesaba/ukusinda wezinsiza okuthiwa ziyindlala. Uma singathola uhlelo lwemali esiludingayo, ukuphakela ingxenye yethu yokwesekwa kanye nokubambisana, okungenani umshini wokukhiqiza izingalo ubungeke ube namandla kangako. Abantu abacabangayo abakhathazeke ngokuvikeleka bazoshintsha inqubo yokudala imali, bangaboni ukuxhumana kwayo nokwesaba kwabo?
Ubani owaziyo kodwa ojabulayo ngokuthi kukhona abanye abantu abaqhubekayo nokunakekela nokusebenzela ukuthula.
