Ngomhla zingama-23 kuZibandlela (December) ngonyaka odlule, uHulumeni waseJapan wazisa isevisi yezindaba ze-Kyodo ukuthi uma kwenzeka kuba ne “Taiwan Contingency” amasosha ase-US, ngosizo lwe-Japan Self-Defense Forces, azomisa uhide lwezisekelo zokuhlasela “ eziqhingini eziseningizimu-ntshonalanga” yaseJapane. Lezi zindaba zithole isaziso esifushane emaphephandabeni ambalwa aseJapane nakwamanye ambalwa ahlakazeke emhlabeni jikelele (nakuba kungenjalo, ngokwazi kwami, e-US) kodwa kwakuyizindaba ezihamba phambili kuwo womabili amaphepha e-Okinawa. Akumangalisi ukuthi abantu balapha banesithakazelo ngempela kulokho elikushoyo.
"IziQhingi eziseNingizimu-ntshonalanga" isho ikakhulukazi i-Ryukyu Archipelago, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-Okinawa Prefecture. "Izimo eziphuthumayo zaseTaiwan" cishe zisho umzamo weShayina wokuphinda ulawule iTaiwan ngamandla ezempi. Enkulumweni ethi "Izisekelo Zokuhlasela", "ukuhlasela" kuqondwa ngokuthi "ukuhlasela kweChina". Kodwa uma iChina ihlaselwa e-Okinawa lokho kungasho ukuthi, umthetho wamazwe ngamazwe uyikho, iChina izoba nelungelo lokuzivikela ngokuphikisana no-Okinawa.
Kulokhu singaqonda ukuthi kungani ohulumeni base-US nabaseJapan befake i-Okinawa kuphela (kanye nesiqephu sezwe esogwini oluseningizimu ye-Kyushu) kule ndawo yokulwa ecatshangwayo. Abantu base-Okinawa kudala bazi ukuthi uHulumeni waseJapan usho ukuthini uma bephinda (kaninginingi) ukuthi i-Okinawa ukuphela kwendawo engenzeka yanoma yiziphi izisekelo ezintsha zase-US eJapane: I-Mainland Japan ayifuni okungaphezu kwenani elincane abanalo (nobugebengu obuhambisana nabo, izingozi. , umsindo ohlukanisa izindlebe, ukungcola, njll.), kanye ne-Mainland Japan ifunde ukuthi inamandla okugcina ingxenye eyinhloko yomthwalo oyisisekelo e-Okinawa, eyingxenye ye-Japan ngokomthetho, kodwa ngokwesiko nangokomlando, izwe langaphandle elikoloniwe. Umbiko kaHulumeni awusho lutho “ngezisekelo zokuhlasela” kunoma iyiphi ingxenye yeTokyo, ngokwesibonelo, ekubeni indawo yempi, nakuba inezisekelo zayo. Kubonakala sengathi uHulumeni ucabanga ukuthi angakwazi ukugxila kuphela ukuphazamiseka nokululazeka kwezisekelo zangaphandle, kodwa futhi nokwesabeka kwempi abaza nayo, e-Okinawa.
Lokhu kulayishwe izindida. Abakwa-Okinawans bangabantu abanokuthula, abangahlanganyeli nenkambo yezempi yama-Bushido yaseJapane. Ngo-1879, lapho iJapane ihlasela futhi ithatha uMbuso WaseRyukyu, iNkosi yabancenga ukuba bangakhi ibutho lezempi ezweni labo, ngoba lalizoletha impi nalo. Lokhu kwenqatshwa, futhi umphumela waba njengoba kwakubikezelwe: impi yokugcina eyinhlekelele yeMpi Yezwe II yalwiwa e-Okinawa. Ngemuva kwempi, ngenkathi eminyakeni yokuqala abantu abaningi base-Okinawa babengenayo enye indlela ngaphandle kokusebenza ezisekelweni ezazihlala (futhi namanje) zihlala emapulazini abo, abakaze babanikeze imvume yabo (futhi abakaze bacelwe) futhi bebelokhu belwa. ngokumelene nabo ngezindlela eziningi kuze kube namuhla.
Abaningi bakubona lokhu njengokuphenduka impinda yokuhlangenwe nakho kwabo kwango-1945, lapho impi engeyona eyakhe ilethwa ezweni labo, futhi bakhokha inani elinzima kakhulu: kwafa oyedwa kwabane babantu babo. Manje sebenezisekelo ezingafuneki futhi ezweni labo, futhi okwengeziwe kuhlelwa, okungenzeka kube nomphumela ofanayo. Ama-Okinawans awaxabene neChina, noma neTaiwan. Uma impi enjalo iqala, bambalwa kakhulu abayosekela noma yiluphi uhlangothi kuyo. Akukhona nje ukuthi bazobamba umbono ophikisana nakho; lapho izwe lamakoloni lilwa neqembu lesithathu endaweni yabantu ababengamakoloni, lokho akukwenzi kube yimpi yabantu leyo. Noma ngabe i-US ne-Japan benza i-Okinawa inkundla yempi kule mpi, lokho akusho ukuthi abase-Okinawa ngokwabo bazoba “sempini”, njengalabo abangalwi abakha “inkundla yasekhaya”. Yebo, izisekelo zase-US zisemhlabeni wazo, kodwa lokho kungenxa yokuthi oHulumeni baseTokyo noHulumeni base-US bayaphikelela ukuthi babe lapho, beshaya indiva intando yabantu base-Okinawan. Okuxakayo wukuthi uma kwenzeka ukubulawa kuqale izinto zihambe njengoba uHulumeni waseJapan ehlela, ngabase-Okinawa bazothwala kanzima. Futhi akekho ozobekwa icala njengesigebengu sempi ngalo "monakalo wesibambiso".
Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa nje ngemva kokuvela kwalezi zindaba emaphepheni endawo nakumabonakude, ama-Okinawans aqala ukukhuluma ngokuqala inhlangano ezinikele ekumiseni le mpi ukuthi ingezi e-Okinawa. Ngenkathi le ngxoxo isaqhubeka, kwaqala “Izimo Eziphuthumayo zase-Ukraine”, zanikeza abantu base-Okinawa isithombe salokho okungenzeka lapha. Akekho olindele ukuthi amasosha aseShayina ahlale lapha noma afune ukuthumba amadolobha. Intshisekelo yamaShayina izoba wukunciphisa lezo “zisekelo zokuhlasela” zase-US, okuhlanganisa i-Kadena, i-Futenma, i-Hansen, i-Schwab, njll., nokucekela phansi imicibisholo yabo kanye nezindiza zokuhlasela. Uma ama-Japanese Self-Defense Forces ejoyina ukuhlasela, angalindela nokuhlasela. Njengoba sazi ezimpini eziningi zamashumi eminyaka amuva nje, amabhomu nemicibisholo ngezinye izikhathi zehlela endaweni okuhlosiwe futhi ngezinye izikhathi zehlela kwenye indawo. (I-Self-Defense Forces imemezele ukuthi awenzanga amalungiselelo okuvikela izimpilo zabantu abangamasosha; lokho kuzoba yisibopho sohulumeni wasekhaya.)
Ukusungulwa ngokusemthethweni kwenhlangano entsha No Moa Okinawa-sen – Nuchi du Takara (Ayisekho Impi Yase-Okinawa - Life is a Treasure) izomenyezelwa embuthanweni ngoMashi 19 (1:30~4:00PM, Okinawa Shimin Kaikan, uma kwenzeka usedolobheni). (Ukudalulwa okuphelele: Ngizoba nemizuzu embalwa ku-mike.) Kuzoba nzima kakhulu ukuqhamuka neqhinga lokuwina, kodwa kungenzeka ukuthi omunye wemicabango yesibili enika ikhefu lawa ma-belligerents ahlukahlukene kungaba ukuthi ukuqala. "isimo esiphuthumayo" esihlanganisa i-Okinawa ngokuqinisekile singaholela ekufeni okunobudlova kwamalungu amaningi omunye wabantu abathanda ukuthula kakhulu emhlabeni, abangahlangene nhlobo nezindaba ezikulengxabano. Lesi ngesinye sezizathu ezinhle kakhulu zokugwema lesi siphukuphuku sezimpi.
