“Lokhu kukhanya kwami okuncane, ngizokuyeka kukhanye! Makukhanye, kukhanye, kukhanye."
Cabanga ngezingane zicula ngokukhanukelayo le migqa engenhla egcine isiyiculo lamalungelo abantu. Ukungabi nacala kwabo nokuzimisela kwabo okujabulisayo kuyasikhanyisela. Yebo! Lapho kubhekene nezimpi, izinkinga zababaleki, ukwanda kwezikhali kanye nemithelela yokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu engaxazululeki, masinanele umqondo ojwayelekile wezingane. Vumela ubuhle bukhanye. Noma, njengoba abangane bethu abasebasha e-Afghanistan besho, #Kwanele! Babhala igama, ngo-Dari, ezintendeni zezandla zabo futhi babonise amakhamera, befuna ukumemeza isifiso sabo sokuqeda zonke izimpi.
Kuleli hlobo elidlule, ngokubambisana Izishoshovu zaseWisconsin, sinqume ukufaka lokhu kugodla ezimpawini nasezimemezelweni zomkhankaso wokuhamba ibanga elingamakhilomitha angu-90 ukuze kuqedwe ukubulawa kwezindiza ezizihambelayo phesheya, kanye nokungajeziswa okufanayo kobandlululo okunikezwa amaphoyisa ayanda alwa lapho ebulala abantu abansundu nabamnyama ngaphakathi e-US.

Umngane wethu uMaya Evans uhambe ibanga elide ukuze ajoyine lolu hambo: uxhumanisa iVoices for Creative Nonviolence e-UK. U-Alice Gerard, waseGrand Isle, NY, ungumhambi wethu webanga elide ongaguquki, ohambweni lwakhe lwesithupha lokulwa nempi ne-VCNV.
UBrian Terrell uphawule lokho omama abakhuluma noCode Pink, njengengxenye yomkhankaso weMothers Against Police Brutality, futhi bakuqaphelile: ukuthi ngokumangalisayo izikhulu eziningi ezithweswe icala lokubulala izingane zazo zazingomakadebona ezimpini zaseMelika e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq. Ukhumbule izehlakalo zezwe ezedlule, njengengqungquthela ye-NATO e-Chicago, ngo-2012, abahleli bayo bazama ukuqasha izikhulu zesikhashana zezokuphepha phakathi komakadebona baseMelika. Amasosha angaphambili, asevele ehlukumezekile ngenxa yempi, adinga ukwesekwa, ukunakekelwa kwezempilo nokuqeqeshwa emsebenzini kodwa esikhundleni salokho anikezwa imisebenzi yesikhashana ukuze aqondise izikhali kwabanye abantu ezimeni ezishubile.
Ukuhamba kwakufundisa. U-Salek Khalid, umngane we-Voices, wabelane ngokuthi "Ukudala Isihogo Emhlabeni: I-Drone yase-US Igalela Ngaphandle Kwamazwe," isethulo sakhe esijulile mayelana nokuthuthukiswa kwezimpi ze-drone. U-Tyler Sheafer, ohlangene nathi we-Progressive Alliance eduze ne-Independence, MO, ugcizelele ukuzimela kokuphila kalula, ngaphandle kwegridi kanye nezitshalo ezidliwayo ezitshalwe endaweni engamakhilomitha angu-150 kuphela ukusuka ekhaya, kuyilapho ababungazi eMauston, WI bamukele uJoe Kruse ukuze akhulume ngaye. fracking kanye nesidingo sethu esihlangene sokushintsha amaphethini okusetshenziswa kwamandla. Ikhono lokugodla imali yethu kanye nokusebenza kwethu kuyindlela ebalulekile yokuphoqelela ohulumeni ukuthi babambe amandla abo asekhaya nasemazweni angaphandle anobudlova.
Sasingesodwa. Sihambe ngokubambisana nezakhamuzi zaseGangjeong, eSouth Korea, ezamukele abaningi bethu ukuthi bahlanganyele emkhankasweni wabo wokumisa impi esiqhingini sabo esihle saseJeju. Ukufuna ubumbano phakathi kweziqhingi kanye nokubona ukuthi bahlanganyela eduze kangakanani nosizi lwabantu base-Afghan abasindwa yi-US "Asia Pivot," abangani bethu e-Okinawa, eJapane bazobamba uhambo olusuka enyakatho kuya eningizimu yesiqhingi, bebhikishela ukwakhiwa kwe-US entsha. isizinda samasosha eHenoko. Kunokuba sivuse impi ebandayo entsha, sifuna ukukhanyisa izinkathazo zethu nezinkathazo zethu, sithole ukulondeka ezandleni zobungani.
Ngo-Agasti 26th, abanye balaba abahamba ngezinyawo bazomelana nomphakathi ongenalo udlame e-Volk Field, bephethe imilayezo mayelana nezimpi ze-drone kanye nokuphrofayilisa ngokobuhlanga ezinkantolo zomthetho kanye nemibono yomphakathi.
Ezikhathini eziningi sicabanga ukuthi ukuphila okugcwele ukunethezeka kwansuku zonke kanye nezinqubo zemihla ngemihla kuwukuphela kwempilo engenzeka, kuyilapho ingxenye yomhlaba ekude, ukuze isinike lokho kududuza, abanye abangenakuzisiza benziwa ukuba baqhaqhazele ngokubanda noma ukwesaba okungenakugwenywa. Kube yiziyalezo kulezi zinkambo ukuthi sizikhumule kancane, sibone ukuthi ukukhanya kwethu kukhanya kanjani, kungafihlwa, emgwaqeni odabula emadolobheni angomakhelwane, amazwi aculayo esiwazwile ezinganeni ezifunda ukuba abantu abadala ngangokunokwenzeka; ezama ukufunda leso sifundo esifanayo. Ingoma ithi “Ngeke yenza kube kukhanye: Ngizothi _kukhanye. Sithemba ukuthi ngokukhipha iqiniso eselivele likithi singakhuthaza abanye ukuba baphile elabo, sikhanyisele ukukhanya kobuntu ekuhlukunyezweni okunobudlova, ekhaya naphesheya, kwezinhlelo zobumnyama eziqhubeza ubudlova. Ezinkambeni ezinjengalezi sibe nenhlanhla yokucabanga impilo engcono, ukwabelana ngezikhathi zenhloso nengqondo nabaningi esihlangane nabo endleleni.
