Ngomphakathi we-Atlantic Life, Novemba 16, 2023
I-New London, CT: Isakhamuzi saseNew London uJackie Allen-Doucot ubephakathi kwezishoshovu zokuthula eziyisishiyagalolunye eziboshiwe futhi zabekwa icala lobugebengu namhlanje ekuseni - Novemba 13 - ngesikhathi kuvinjwe abantu abangena ku-Engineering Complex yeGeneral Dynamics/Electric Boat lapho kwakhiwa khona imikhumbi-ngwenya yenuzi.
Bephethe amabhanela amade asuka emigwaqweni yokushayela, izishoshovu zavala izimoto zabasebenzi abangena kulesi sikhungo ngesikhathi sokuhamba ekuseni. Izibhengezo ezingamamitha angama-24 zifundeka kanje “Ukwakha Izikhali Zenuzi Akukho emthethweni, Hlala Ngezivumelwano Zethu, Yeka Ukwakha Izikhali Ezibhubhisa Kakhulu.”
Emnyango ngamunye isishoshovu esisodwa sinamathisele ukolweni endleleni yokungena ku-Athikili 6 evela ku-Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, eyagunyazwa yi-United States ngo-1968, esibophezela ekuncishisweni kwezikhali zenuzi.
"Sifuna ukuxhumana phakathi kokulungiselela impi yenuzi kwaGeneral Dynamics lapha eNew London kanye nokuqothulwa kohlanga kuka-Israyeli eGaza," kusho uMark Colville we-Amistad Catholic Worker eNew Haven, omunye wabavimbi. "Sicela ukuthi kumiswe ukulwa manje."
Elinye lamabhanela lalipendwe ngomyalezo othi “I-Trident Isekela Ukubulawa Kohlanga.”
Ngaphezu kwabavimbeli, inqwaba yezishoshovu zikleliswe eceleni komgwaqo oseduze kwezindawo zokungena ezimbili ziphethe amabhanela futhi zisabalalisa ipheshana kubasebenzi beGeneral Dynamics ezimotweni ezisekelwe kuPequot Avenue. “Siza emasangweni e-General Dynamics Electric Boat eNew London, CT namuhla lapho i-United States ibeke isabelomali samaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-114 ukuze “kuthuthukiswe” izikhali zenuzi ngemikhumbi-ngwenya ye-Columbia Class entsha engu-12. Amandla okucekela phansi alezi mikhumbi-ngwenya yenuzi awakhulumeki,” kufundeka leli pheshana.
Sekusele isigamu sehora kulombhikisho, eNew London, amaphoyisa eCT aqala ukubopha labo abebevale amasango amabili esikhungo iGeneral Dynamics. Amaphoyisa akhiphe izingcaphuno kwezinye izishoshovu ezimbili ezibabeka icala lokuphazamisa umphakathi. Elinye iphoyisa laphawula ukuthi izimoto ezifika emasangweni zazixhaswe yizimoto ezingaba ngu-400.
Isenzo sasekuseni senzeka phakathi nokwanda kwezingxabano zenuzi emhlabeni wonke futhi njengoba iGeneral Dynamics inyusa ukukhiqizwa kwemikhumbi-ngwenya ye-nuclear Columbia Class. I-Bulletin of Atomic Scientists Doomsday Clock isethwe kumasekhondi angu-90 kuya phakathi kwamabili. I-Al Jazeera yabika ngoNovemba 6 ukuthi umkhumbi-ngwenya we-Ohio Class okwazi ukwenza i-nuclear wathunyelwa ngasogwini lwaseGaza, okuthinta ngokujulile i-United States njengomnikezeli omkhulu wezempi wakwa-Israyeli wosizo lwezempi nezikhali kule mpi engekho emthethweni.
“Imikhumbi-ngwenya yaseColumbia Class izobhebhethekisa impi emhlabeni jikelele. Ukukhiqizwa kwale mikhumbi-ngwenya akunaki isimemo somhlaba wonke sokuchithwa kwezikhali zenuzi esiboniswe kuSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali Zenuzi (TPNW), esisayinwe amazwe angaphezu kuka-120 omphakathi womhlaba,” kusho leli qembu.

Bonke laba abangenhla bangamalungu e-Atlantic Life Community (ALC) inethiwekhi yezishoshovu ezisekelwe ekukholweni. Amalungu abhikishe ekubhapathizweni okungaphansi kolwandle futhi kwethulwa kusukela ngeminyaka yawo-1970 kuya ekuqaleni kwawo-1990. Manje sebebuyele eNew London ukuyothi CHA ekusetshenzisweni kwemali yabakhokhi bentela base-US kanye nezinsiza ngokufa okwengeziwe, ukucekelwa phansi, nokwenza inzuzo engxenyeni yemboni yezikhali. I-ALC ifuna ukuthi i-US iqinisekise i-TPNW futhi iguqule i-General Dynamics ibe ukukhiqizwa okungezona ezezempi ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezidingo zabantu eziphuthumayo.
