Kungani Ngiya Kulayini Wangaphambili We-Wet'suwet'en Resistance

World BEYOND War usekela Umhleli wethu wase-Canada, u-Rachel Small, ekuchitheni ingxenye yokuqala kaNovemba ekamu lase-Gidimt'en esimemweni sabaholi base-Wet'suwet'en abavikela indawo yabo kuyilapho bebhekene nodlame lwamakoloni.

Kuleli sonto, ngizophumela e-Wet'suwet'en Territory ngiphendula isimemezelo esiphuthumayo sobumbano namabhuzu phansi avela kuMafa Amakhosi e-Cas Yikh Gidimt'en Clan we-Wet'suwet'en Nation. . Emzamweni wokuhlanganisa ukwesekwa kulo lonke idolobha lethu, ngizojoyinwa abanye abahleli beToronto abahlanu abahamba ibanga elingu-4500km ukunqamula lokho okubizwa ngeCanada. Ngaphambi kokuhamba, bengifuna ukuthatha isikhathi sokwabelana ngomunye umongo walokho okwenzeka lapho njengamanje, futhi ngichaze ukuthi kungani ngizohamba, ngethemba lokuthi kuzovusa ubumbano olwengeziwe nabantu baseWet'suwet'en lesi sikhathi esibalulekile.

Igagasi lesithathu lokuvinjwa ngokumelene ne-Coastal Gaslink Pipeline

Enyangeni eyodwa edlule, ngoSepthemba 25, 2021, amalungu e-Wet'suwet'en e-Cas Yikh kanye nabalandeli bawo e-Gidimt'en Checkpoint bavala indawo yokumba i-Coastal GasLink endaweni yabo yase-Wet'suwet'en osebeni lomfula ongcwele i-Wedzin Kwa River. . Bamise inkambu emise ngokuphelele noma yimuphi umsebenzi wokwakha ipayipi. Kuleli sonto eledlule i-Likhts'amisyu Clan yeSizwe sase-Wet'suwet'en iphinde yasebenzisa izinto ezisindayo ukulawula ukufinyelela ekamu lamadoda endaweni ehlukile endaweni yase-Wet'suwet'en. Wonke Amakhosi Ozalo ezizwe ezinhlanu zase-Wet'suwet'en aphikise ngazwi linye zonke iziphakamiso zamapayipi futhi akwenza kwacaca ukuthi awazange anikeze imvume yamahhala, yangaphambili, nenolwazi oludingekayo ukuze i-Coastal Gaslink ibhoboze ku-Wet' suwet'en lands.

Ubuholi e-Gidimt'en Checkpoint bufake izicelo ezimbalwa eziqondile zokuthi abasekeli beze ekamu. Mina, njengabanye abaningi, ngiyasabela kulolo bizo.

Isikhalazo esivela ku-Sleydo', u-Gidimt'en Checkpoint Umkhulumeli, ukuba eze ekamu futhi achaze ukuthi yini esengozini. Uma ubuka ividiyo eyodwa yenze lena..

Ukuhlaselwa komhlaba we-Wet'suwet'en, iphrojekthi eqhubekayo yokuqothula uhlanga

Njengamanje singaphezu kwenyanga egagasini lesithathu lokuvinjwa endaweni yase-Wet'suwet'en ngokumelene nepayipi le-Coastal Gaslink. Amagagasi okumelana angaphambilini eminyakeni embalwa edlule ahlangatshezwe udlame olushaqisayo lombuso. Lolu dlame lwenziwe ikakhulukazi amayunithi ezempi e-RCMP (umbutho wamaphoyisa kazwelonke waseCanada, nawo ngokomlando ibutho lamasosha aqala ukubusa entshonalanga yeCanada), kanye neQembu Eliphendulayo Lomphakathi-Industry (C-IRG), empeleni. iyunithi yokuvikela ukukhishwa kwensiza, futhi lisekelwa ukugadwa kwezempi okuqhubekayo.

Ukuba khona kwe-RCMP endaweni yase-Wet'suwet'en phakathi kukaJanuwari 2019 noMashi 2020 - okuhlanganisa ukuhlasela okubili kwezempi ngokumelene nabavikeli bomhlaba - izindleko ngaphezulu kwe- $ 13 million. Amanothi aputshuziwe kusukela kuseshini yamasu e-RCMP ngaphambi kokunye kwalokhu kugasela kwezempi kubonisa ukuthi abaphathi bombutho wamaphoyisa kazwelonke waseCanada bafuna kuthunyelwe amaphoyisa alungele ukusebenzisa amandla abulalayo. Abaphathi be-RCMP baphinde bayalele izikhulu, ebezigqoke ukukhathala okuluhlaza kwezempi futhi zihlome ngezibhamu, ukuthi "zisebenzise udlame oluningi esangweni ngendlela ofuna ngayo."

Abaholi base-Wet'suwet'en baqonda lolu dlame lombuso njengengxenye yempi eqhubekayo yamakholoni kanye nephrojekthi yokuqothula isizwe iCanada eyenze iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-150. I-Canada iyizwe izisekelo zayo nezamanje ezakhelwe phezu kwempi yamakholoni ebilokhu yenza ngokuyinhloko injongo eyodwa—ukususa abantu boMdabu ezweni labo ukuze kukhishwe izinsiza. Leli fa liyadlala njengamanje endaweni yase-Wet'suwet'en.

Okwami, kokubili njengomhleli wabasebenzi ku World BEYOND War nomuntu ofike emhlabeni woMdabu owebiwe, kuyacaca ukuthi uma ngizimisele ngokuqedwa kwempi kanye nokumisa udlame lombuso kanye nempi lokho kusho ukungenelela ngokuqondile ekuhlaselweni kwezempi okwenziwa khona manje ezweni lase-Wet'suwet'en.

Kuwukuzenzisa ukugqoka amahembe awolintshi nokukhumbula izimpilo ezalahleka “ezikoleni zokuhlala” ngezinsuku eziqokwe uhulumeni wamakoloni uma sifulathela futhi senqaba ukubona udlame lwamakholoni olufanayo lwenzeka njengamanje. Kubhalwe kahle ukuthi izikole okuhlalwa kuzo kwakuyithuluzi inhloso yalo enkulu kwakuwukukhipha aboMdabu ezindaweni zabo. Lephethini efanayo iqhubeka khona kanye phambi kwethu ngezindlela eziyinkulungwane. Kufanele senqabe ukufulathela.

Ukuvikela i-Wedzin Kwa

I-Coastal Gaslink ilungiselela ukumba ngaphansi komfula i-Wedzin Kwa ukuze kwakhiwe ipayipi labo legesi eliqhekekile elingamakhilomitha angama-670. Ipayipi elingamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-6.2 liyingxenye yephrojekthi enkulu kunazo zonke emlandweni waseCanada. Futhi i-Coastal Gaslink ingelinye lamapayipi amaningi ahlongozwayo azama ukunqamula izindawo zendabuko zase-Wet'suwet'en. Uma yakhiwe, izosheshisa ukwakhiwa kwebitumen eyengeziwe namapayipi egesi aqhekekile, njengengxenye yombono wemboni omkhulu wokudala “umhubhe wamandla” ngokusebenzisa ezinye zezindawo ezihlanzekile ezisele kuso sonke isifunda futhi uguqule ngendlela engenakuhlehliswa i-Wet'suwet'en. kanye nezindawo ezizungezile.

Ikamu labaphikisayo elamiswa ekupheleni kukaSepthemba endaweni yokumba ye-CGL selimise ngokuphelele ipayipi emizileni yalo kanye lapho elalizobhobhoza khona ngaphansi kwe-Wedzin Kwa, umfula oyinkaba ye-Wet'suwet'en. insimu. Njengo-Sleydo', umkhulumeli we-Gidimt'en Checkpoint echaza “indlela yethu yokuphila isengozini. I-Wedzin Kwa [umfula] ophakela yonke indawo yase-Wet'suwet'en futhi onikeza isizwe sakithi ukuphila.” Lo mfula uyindawo yokuzalanisa i-salmon kanye nomthombo obalulekile wamanzi okuphuza ahlanzekile endaweni. Ukumba ipayipi ngaphansi kwawo kungaba yinhlekelele, hhayi kubantu base-Wet'suwet'en kuphela kanye nemvelo yamahlathi ethembele kuwo, kodwa nasemiphakathini ehlala ezansi nomfula.

Lo mzabalazo umayelana nokuvikela lo mfula ongcwele emhlabeni we-Wet'suwet'en. Kodwa kimi, nakwabanye abaningi, lokhu kumayelana nokuma okubanzi kakhulu. Uma sizibophezele ekubeni khona okuqhubekayo iyiphi imifula kule planethi ehlanzekile, esingaqhubeka siphuza kuyo ngokuqondile, khona-ke kudingeka sizimisele ngokuyivikela.

Umzabalazo wekusasa eliphilayo kulo mhlaba

Njengomzali wengane eneminyaka emine, ngicabanga izikhathi eziningana ngosuku ngokuthi le planethi izobukeka futhi ibe njani eminyakeni engu-20, 40, 60. Ukuma eduze kwabantu base-Wet'suwet'en ukumisa ipayipi le-CGL kuyindlela engcono kakhulu engiyaziyo yokuqinisekisa iplanethi ephilayo yengane yami nezizukulwane ezizayo. Angizenzi i-hyperbolic - ngo-Agasti umbiko omusha wesimo sezulu kubonise ukuthi ukumelana nabomdabu kumise noma kubambezele ukungcoliswa kwesisi esibamba ukushisa okulingana okungenani nekota eyodwa yonyaka ekhishwa yi-US kanye ne-Canadian. Vumela leyo nombolo ingene isekhondi. Okungenani u-25% wezinto ezikhishwa minyaka yonke e-Canada nase-US zivinjelwe abantu boMdabu abamelana namapayipi namanye amaphrojekthi kaphethiloli wezinto ezimbiwa phansi endaweni yase-Wet'suwet'en nakuyo yonke i-Turtle Island. Lokhu kuhambisana nesithombe esibanzi somhlaba wonke - ngaphandle kokuthi abantu boMdabu bakha nje 5% inani labantu emhlabeni, bavikela amaphesenti angama-80 ezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo emhlabeni.

Ukuzibophezela ekusaseni eliphilayo emhlabeni wethu, kubulungiswa besimo sezulu, kanye nasekuqedeni amakholoni, kusho ngokuphelele ukuthi abantu abangebona aboMdabu bajoyina ubumbano. Ngenkathi umsebenzi wami ugxile kwezempi yaseCanada, World BEYOND War uzibophezele ngokujulile ekuhlanganyeleni emsebenzini wobumbano nemizabalazo yoMdabu emelene nezempi kanye nokuqhutshwa kwamakholoni okuqhubekayo emhlabeni jikelele - kusukela ekusekeleni Tambrauw Izishoshovu zomdabu eNtshonalanga Papua evimba isizinda sezempi esihlongozwayo endaweni yabo, ukuze Abomdabu base-Okinawa e-Japan bevikela umhlaba wabo namanzi Ebuthweni Lezempi Lase-US, ukuze bavikeleke emhlabeni abantu base-We'tsuwet'en.

Futhi okwenzeka endaweni yase-Wet'suwet'en akusona isenzakalo esingandile sokunqwabelana phakathi kwezinhlekelele eziqhubekayo zezempi kanye nenkinga yesimo sezulu - lokhu kuhlangana kuyinto evamile. Inkinga yesimo sezulu ingxenye enkulu ibangelwa futhi isetshenziswa njengezaba zokwanda kokufudumala kanye nempi. Akukhona nje ukungenelela kwamasosha akwamanye amazwe empini yombango izikhathi ezingaphezu kuka-100 kungenzeka kakhulu lapho kukhona uwoyela noma igesi, kodwa impi nempi amalungiselelo empi ahola abathengi bakawoyela negesi (ibutho lase-US lilodwa elingunombolo # 1 wabathengi bamafutha planet). Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi udlame lwezempi oludingekayo ukuze kwebiwe izibaseli ezivela emazweni abomdabu, kodwa lawo mafutha angase asetshenziswe ekwenzeni udlame olubanzi, kuyilapho ngesikhathi esifanayo esiza ukwenza isimo sezulu somhlaba singalungeli ukuphila komuntu.

E-Canada ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni okwesabekayo kwamasosha aseCanada (okuwumthombo omkhulu kakhulu wokukhishwa kwegesi kukahulumeni) akhishwe kukho konke okuhlosiwe kokunciphisa i-GHG yenhlangano, kuyilapho imboni yezimayini yaseCanada ihamba phambili emhlabeni wonke ekukhishweni okulimazayo kwempahla yemishini yempi (kusuka ku-uranium kuya ku-uranium. izinsimbi kuya ezintweni ezingavamile zomhlaba).

A umbiko omusha ekhishwe kuleli sonto ikhombise ukuthi iCanada isebenzisa imali ephindwe izikhathi eziyi-15 ekulweni nemingcele yemingcele yayo kunasekuxhasweni kwesimo sezulu okuhloswe ngaso ukusiza ukunciphisa ukuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu kanye nokufuduka kwabantu ngenkani. Ngamanye amazwi, iCanada, elinye lamazwe abhekene nenkinga yesimo sezulu, ichitha imali eningi ekuhlomiseni imingcele yayo ukuze ivimbele abokufika ngaphandle kokubhekana nenkinga ephoqa abantu ukuthi babaleke emakhaya abo kwasekuqaleni. Konke lokhu ngenkathi ukuthunyelwa kwezikhali kweqa imingcele ngokuzikhandla nangokuyimfihlo, futhi izwe laseCanada lithethelela izinhlelo zalo zamanje zokuthenga. 88 izindiza zamabhomu ezintsha kanye nama-drones ayo okuqala ahlomile angenamuntu ngenxa yezinsongo ezizobangelwa isimo esiphuthumayo sezulu kanye nababaleki besimo sezulu.

I-Wet'suwet'en iyawina

Naphezu kodlame lwamakholoni namandla onxiwankulu ayebhekene nawo ngaso sonke isikhathi, ukumelana ne-Wet'suwet'en kule minyaka eyishumi edlule sekube nomthelela ekwesulweni kwamapayipi amahlanu.

“Izinkampani eziningi zamapayipi zifune ukubhoboza ngaphansi kwalawa manzi, futhi zisebenzise amaqhinga amaningi okusabisa kanye nodlame olubhekiswe kubantu baseWet'suwet'en kanye nabasekeli ukuze sidinwe. Nokho umfula usahamba kahle, futhi i-Wet'suwet'en isaqinile. Le mpi isekude ukuphela.”

Ezinyangeni ezingaphambi kwalolu bhubhane, ukuphendula isimemo se-Wet'suwet'en sobumbano, inhlangano ye-#ShutDownCanada yasukuma futhi, ngokuvala ujantshi wesitimela, imigwaqo emikhulu kanye nengqalasizinda ebalulekile ezweni lonke, yafaka izwe laseCanada ovalweni. Unyaka odlule umakwe ukwanda okukhulu ekusekeleni i-#LandBack kanye nokuqashelwa okukhulayo komlando wekoloni wase-Canada nowamanje, kanye nesidingo sokusekela ubukhosi boMdabu kanye negunya phezu kwezindawo zabo.

Manje, ngemva kwenyanga ukuvinjwa kwabo endaweni yokumba ye-CGL kuqale kwamiswa, ikamu liqinile. Abantu baseWet'suwet'en nabalingani babo balungiselela ubusika obuzayo. Isikhathi sokubajoyina.
