Ngomhla zingama-27 kuZibandlela wezi-2016, iqembu elincane lamaVeterans for Peace, Hawaii Peace and Justice kanye neHawaii Okinawa Alliance babesePearl Harbor, eHawaii nezimpawu zethu zokukhumbuza uNdunankulu waseJapan uShinzo Abe kanye noMongameli wase-U.S. uBarack Obama ukuthi isenzo esihle kakhulu sokududuza. ngoba abalimala abadalwe ukuhlasela kwamaJapane ePearl Harbor kungaba iJapan egcina i-Article 9 “No War” yomthethosisekelo wayo.
UMnu. Abe, njengoNdunankulu wokuqala waseJapan owayehleli, weza e-Arizona Memorial ezozwakalisa amazwi enduduzo ngokushona kwabangu-2403 kuhlanganise nabangu-1,117 e-USS Arizona ngesikhathi sokuhlasela kwamasosha oMkhosi waseJapan ngoDisemba 7, 1941 eNkundleni Yemikhumbi Yasemanzini ePearl Harbor. nokunye ukufakwa kwamasosha ase-US esiqhingini sase-Oahu, eHawaii.
Ukuvakasha kukaMnu. Abe kulandela ukuvakasha kukaMongameli Obama wangomhla zingama-26 kuNhlaba wezi-2016 e-Hiroshima, e-Japan, umongameli wokuqala wase-United States ohlezi e-Hiroshima lapho uMongameli u-Harry Truman eyala amasosha ase-United States ukuthi alahle isikhali sokuqala se-athomu kubantu esabangela ukufa kwabantu abayi-150,000. kanye nabangu-75,000 eNagasaki ngokuwisa isikhali se-athomu sesibili. Lapho uMongameli u-Obama evakashele eHiroshima Peace Memorial Park, akazange axolise ngokuthi i-United States idedele amabhomu e-athomu kodwa kunalokho weza ezohlonipha abafileyo futhi wabiza “izwe elingenazo izikhali zenuzi.”
Ngesikhathi evakashele ePearl Harbour, uNdunankulu u-Abe akazange axolise ngokuhlaselwa kwamaJapan e-United States, noma ngokubulawa kwabantu baseJapan eChina, Korea, Southeast Asia nasePacific. Nokho, wanikeza lokho akubiza ngokuthi “induduzo eqotho neyaphakade emiphefumulweni” yalabo abalahleka ngo-December 7, 1941. Wathi amaJapane ayenze “isifungo esinqala” sokungaphinde alwe. "Akumele siphinde siphinde siphinde senze izinto ezesabekayo zempi."
UNdunankulu u-Abe ugcizelele ukubuyisana ne-United States: “Kuyisifiso sami ukuthi izingane zethu zaseJapan, kanye noMongameli Obama, izingane zenu zaseMelika, futhi ngempela izingane zabo nabazukulu, kanye nabantu emhlabeni wonke, baqhubeke nokukhumbula iPearl Harbour njenge- uphawu lokubuyisana, Ngeke siyiyeke imizamo yokuqhubeka nemizamo yethu yokwenza leso sifiso sibe ngokoqobo. Kanye noMongameli Obama, ngalokhu ngenza isifungo sami esiqinile.”
Nakuba lezi zinkulumo zokuvuma, zokududuza noma ngezinye izikhathi, kodwa hhayi kaningi, ukuxolisa kosopolitiki nezinhloko zikahulumeni kubalulekile, ukuxolisa kwezakhamizi ngokwenziwe osopolitiki bazo kanye nezinhloko zohulumeni kusegameni labo, ngokubona kwami, okubaluleke kakhulu.
Ngike ngaba ohambweni lokukhuluma amaningana eJapane, kusukela esiqhingini esisenyakatho yeHokkaido kuya esiqhingini esiseningizimu ye-Okinawa. Kulowo nalowo mcimbi wokukhuluma, mina, njengesakhamuzi saseMelika kanye nomakadebona wezempi yaseMelika, ngaxolisa ezakhamuzini zaseJapan ngamabhomu amabili e-athomu izwe lami eliwise ezweni lazo. Futhi endaweni ngayinye, izakhamuzi zaseJapane zaziza kimi zizobonga ngokuxolisa kwami futhi zingixolise ngalokho uhulumeni wazo owawukwenzile eMpini Yezwe II. Ukuxolisa kuyinto encane kakhulu esingayenza uma thina njengezakhamuzi singakwazi ukuvimbela osopolitiki kanye nezikhulu zikahulumeni ekwenzeni izenzo esingahambisani nazo eziholela ekubulaweni kwabantu ngendlela engakholakali.
Kungaki ukuxolisa okufanele thina njengezakhamizi zaseMelika sikwenze ngenxa yesiphithiphithi nokucekela phansi osopolitiki bethu kanye nohulumeni eminyakeni eyishumi nesithupha edlule? Emashumini, uma kungenjalo amakhulu ezinkulungwane, zokufa kwabantu abangenacala e-Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen naseSyria.
Ngabe uMongameli waseMelika uzoke aye eVietnam eyoxolisa ngabantu baseVietnam abayizigidi ezi-4 abashona ngempi yase-US ezweni elincane laseVietnam?
Sizoxolisa yini kwaboMdabu baseMelika uhulumeni wethu owabaphuca umhlaba owabulala amashumi ezinkulungwane zabo?
Ingabe sizoxolisa kuma-Afrika alethwa ezwenikazi lawo ngemikhumbi enonya futhi aphoqelelwa ezizukulwaneni zemisebenzi enyantisayo?
Ngabe sizoxolisa kubantu bomdabu baseHawaii ubukhosi babo obaketulwa yi-U.S. ukuze bakwazi ukufinyelela ngezinjongo zempi echwebeni lemvelo esilibiza ngokuthi iPearl Harbor.
Futhi uhlu lwezixoliso ezidingekayo luyaqhubeka futhi luqhubeke ngokuhlasela, imisebenzi kanye namakholoni aseCuba, eNicaragua, eDominican Republic, eHaiti.
Eminye yemishwana engihlala nayo ohambweni lwami lwale nkwindla nasekwindla lokuya e-Standing Rock, eNyakatho Dakota nabantu bomdabu baseMelika base-Dakota Souix endaweni emangalisayo yokubhikisha e-Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) igama elithi "inkumbulo yofuzo." Abamele amaqembu amaningi omdabu aseMelika ayebuthene e-Standing Rock bakhuluma njalo ngomlando kahulumeni wase-US ngokususa abantu babo ngendluzula, besayina izivumelwano zomhlaba futhi bevumela ukuthi zephulwe izifiki ezihlose ukuthuthela eNtshonalanga, ukubulawa kwabantu bomdabu baseMelika ukuzama ukuzama. ukumisa ukuntshontshwa komhlaba osopolitiki nohulumeni base-US ababevumelene ngakho—inkumbulo eyangena emlandweni wofuzo lwabantu baseMelika bomdabu ezweni lethu.
Ngeshwa leyo nkumbulo yofuzo yabakhi bamakoloni base-Europe base-United States abaseyiqembu elibusayo lezombusazwe nezomnotho ezweni lakithi naphezu kwamaqembu ezinhlanga zaseLatino kanye nezase-Afrika-America, isagcwele izenzo zase-U.S emhlabeni. Inkumbulo yofuzo yosopolitiki base-US kanye nehhovisi likahulumeni lokuhlasela nokuhlala kwamazwe aseduze nakude, okungavamile ukuholela ekwehlulweni kwe-U.S., kubaphuphuthekisa ekubulaweni kwabantu abakushiye endleleni yezwe lethu.
Ngakho iqembu lethu elincane elingaphandle komnyango wePearl Harbor lalikhona ukuze libe yisikhumbuzo. Izimpawu zethu "AKUKHO IMPI-Gcina Isihloko 9" sinxuse uNdunankulu waseJapan ukuthi ayeke umzamo wakhe wokukhipha i-Article 9 yomthethosisekelo waseJapan, i-athikili AKUKHO War, futhi avimbele iJapan ngaphandle kwezimpi zokuzikhethela i-U.S. eqhubeka nazo. Njengoba i-Article 9 njengomthetho wabo, uhulumeni waseJapan eminyakeni engama-75 edlule kusukela ekupheleni kweMpi Yezwe II, wagcina ngaphandle kwezimpi i-US ezilwile emhlabeni jikelele. Izigidi zamaJapane ziye zangena emigwaqweni zitshela uhulumeni wazo ukuthi zifuna ukugcina i-Article 9. Azifuni izidumbu zabesifazane nabesilisa abasebasha baseJapane zilethwe ekhaya ngezikhwama zempi.
Izimpawu zethu ezithi “Londoloza u-Henoko,” “Gcina u-Takae,” “Yekisa Ukudlwengulwa Kwase-Okinawa,” zibonise isifiso sethu njengezakhamuzi zase-U.S., kanye nesifiso sezakhamuzi eziningi zase-Japan, ukuba amasosha ase-US asuswe eJapane futhi ikakhulukazi eningizimu yesiqhingi. yaseJapan, e-Okinawa lapho kusebenza khona ngaphezu kwe-80% yamasosha ase-US eJapan. Ukudlwengulwa nokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi nokubulawa kwabesifazane nezingane zase-Okinawa ngamasosha ase-US, ukucekelwa phansi kwezindawo zasolwandle ezibucayi kanye nokucekelwa phansi kwezindawo ezibalulekile ngokwezemvelo yizinkinga abantu base-Okinawans abaphonsela inselelo ngazo ngamandla izinqubomgomo zikahulumeni wase-US ezigcine amasosha ase-US emazweni abo. .
