Amanga Mayelana neRwanda asho izimpi ezingaphezulu uma engalungiswa

NguDavid Swanson

Nxusa ukuphela kwempi kulezi zinsuku futhi uzosheshe uzwe amagama amabili: "Hitler" kanye "Rwanda." Ngenkathi iMpi Yezwe II yabulala abantu abangaba yizigidi ezingama-70, ukubulawa kwezigidi eziyisithupha kuya kweziyishumi (kuya ngokuthi ngubani ofakiwe) ophethe igama lokuQothulwa Kwesizwe. Ungakhathazeki ukuthi i-United States nabalingani bayo benqabile ukusiza labo bantu ngaphambi kwempi noma ukumisa impi ukubasindisa noma ukubeka phambili ukubasiza lapho impi iphela - noma ngisho nokuyeka ukuvumela iPentagon iqashe abanye bababulali bayo. Ungakhathazeki ukuthi ukusindisa amaJuda akuzange kube yinjongo yeWWII kuze kube isikhathi eside ngemuva kokuphela kwempi. Phakamisa ukuqeda impi emhlabeni futhi izindlebe zakho zizokhala ngegama uHillary Clinton alibiza ngoVladimir Putin nokuthi uJohn Kerry ubize uBashar al Assad.

Dlula kuHitler, futhi umemeza uthi “Kumele sigweme enye iRwanda!” izokumisa emikhondweni yakho, ngaphandle kokuthi imfundo yakho inqobe inganekwane ecishe ifinyelele yonke indawo ehamba kanjena. Ngo-1994, inqwaba yabantu base-Afrika abangenangqondo eRwanda yathuthukisa uhlelo lokuqeda idlanzana lesizwe futhi yafeza uhlelo lwayo kwaze kwafika ekubulaweni kwabantu abangaphezu kwesigidi kuleso sizwe - ngenxa yezizathu ezingekho emthethweni zenzondo yesizwe. Uhulumeni wase-US ubematasatasa enza izinto ezinhle kwenye indawo futhi enganaki ngokwanele kuze kwephuze kakhulu. IZizwe Ezihlangene zazazi ukuthi kwenzakalani kodwa zenqaba ukuthatha isinyathelo, ngenxa yokuba yisikhulu esikhulu esakhiwe ngabantu abangebona abaseMelika ababuthaka. Kepha, ngenxa yemizamo yase-US, izigebengu zashushiswa, ababaleki bavunyelwa ukuba babuye, futhi intando yeningi nokukhanyiselwa kwe-Europe kwalethwa ngobuningi ezigodini ezimnyama zaseRwanda.

Okufana nale nsumansumane kusezingqondweni zalabo abamemeza ngokuhlaselwa kweLibya noma iSyria noma i-Ukraine ngaphansi kwesibhengezo esithi “Hhayi enye iRwanda!” Ukucabanga kungaba ubudedengu ngokungenathemba noma ngabe kusekelwe emaqinisweni. Umqondo wokuthi KUDINGEKA okuthile eRwanda kufinyelela emcabangweni wokuthi ukuqhuma kwamabhomu okusindayo kuyadingeka eRwanda okushibilika ngokuzikhandla emcabangweni wokuthi ukuqhuma kwamabhomu okusindayo kuyadingeka eLibya. Umphumela uba yi ukubhujiswa kweLibya. Kodwa impikiswano akuyona eyalabo abanaka okwakwenzeka eRwanda nasezindaweni ezakhelene nayo ngaphambi noma kusukela ngo-1994. Impikiswano yesikhashana ehloselwe ukufaka umzuzwana kuphela. Ungalokothi ukhathalele ukuthi kungani uGadaffi aguqulwa esuka ku-ally Western waba isitha saseNtshonalanga, futhi ungalokothi ukhathalele ukuthi impi ishiye ini. Unganaki ukuthi yaphela kanjani iMpi Yezwe I nokuthi bangaki ababukeli abahlakaniphile ababikezela iMpi Yezwe II ngaleso sikhathi. Iqiniso ukuthi iRwanda ibizokwenzeka eLibya (ngaphandle kokuthi ubheke amaqiniso kakhulu) futhi akwenzekanga. Icala livaliwe. Isisulu esilandelayo.

Edward Herman iphakamisa kakhulu incwadi kaRobin Philpot ebizwa I-Rwanda ne-New Scramble ye-Afrika: Kusukela Enhlekeleleni Kuya Ematheksthini AnguMbuso Owusizo, kanjalo nami. UPhilpot uvula ngamazwi kaNobhala-Jikelele we-UN uBoutros Boutros-Ghali athi “ukuqothulwa kohlanga eRwanda kwakuwumthwalo wamaMelika ngamaphesenti ayikhulu!” Kungenzeka kanjani lokho? AbaseMelika abanacala ngokuthi izinto zisezingxenyeni zomhlaba ezibuyela emuva ngaphambi "kokungenelela" kwabo. Impela uMnu uBoutros ophindwe kabili wenze ukuthi ukulandelana kwezikhathi zakhe kungalungile. Isikhathi esiningi esichithwa kulawo mahhovisi e-UN nabaphathi bezangaphandle akungatshazwa. Futhi-ke, amaqiniso - hhayi izimangalo eziphikisanayo kepha amaqiniso okuvunyelwene ngawo wonke amazwe amane agcizelelwe ngabaningi - asho okuhlukile.

Izwe laseMelika lasekela ukuhlaselwa kweRwanda ngo-Okthoba 1, 1990, yibutho lase-Uganda elaliholwa ababulali abaqeqeshwe yi-US, futhi lasekela ukuhlasela kwabo iRwanda iminyaka emithathu nohhafu. Uhulumeni waseRwanda, ephendula, akazange alandele imodeli yokuvalelwa kwabantu baseJapan eJapan ngesikhathi seMpi Yezwe II, noma indlela ama-US aphatha ngayo amaSulumane kule minyaka eyi-12 eyedlule. Futhi awuzange uqambe umqondo wabathengisi phakathi kwawo, njengoba ibutho elihlaselayo empeleni lalinamaseli asebenzayo angama-36 asebenzisana nabo eRwanda. Kepha uhulumeni waseRwanda ubophe abantu abangu-8,000 wababamba izinsuku ezimbalwa kuya ezinyangeni eziyisithupha. I-Africa Watch (kamuva eyi-Human Rights Watch / Africa) yamemezela lokhu njengokuhlukumeza kanzima amalungelo abantu, kodwa yayingenalutho engakusho ngokuhlasela nangempi. U-Alison Des Forges we-Africa Watch uchaze ukuthi amaqembu alwela amalungelo abantu “awayihlolisisi indaba yokuthi ubani owenza impi. Impi siyibona njengobubi futhi sizama ukuvimba ukuba khona kwempi kungabi izaba zokwephulwa okukhulu kwamalungelo abantu. ”

Impi yabulala abantu abaningi, noma ngabe lokho kubulala kwakufanelekile njengokwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu. Abantu babalekele abahlaseli, badala inhlekelele enkulu yababaleki, bachitha ezolimo, bachitha umnotho, baphazamisa nomphakathi. I-United States kanye ne-West bahlome ngezifudumezi futhi basebenzisa ingcindezi eyengeziwe nge-World Bank, IMF, ne-USAID. Futhi phakathi kwemiphumela yempi kwanda ubutha phakathi kwamaHutu namaTutsi. Ekugcineni uhulumeni wayezoketula. Okokuqala kwakuzofika ukubulawa kwabantu abaningi okwaziwa ngokuthi yiRwandaan Genocide. Ngaphambi kwalokho kwakuzobulawa omengameli ababili. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngo-Ephreli 1994, iRwanda yayinenxushunxushu cishe ezingeni le-Iraq noma iLibya yangemva kwenkululeko.

Enye indlela yokuvimbela ukubulawa bekungaba ukungasekeli impi. Enye indlela yokunqanda ukubulawa kwabantu bekungaba ukungasekeli ukubulawa kukamongameli baseRwanda nabaseBurundi ngo-Ephreli 6, 1994. Ubufakazi bukhomba ngokuqinile kulowo owayesekela impi futhi eqeqeshwe yizwe laseMelika uPaul Kagame - manje osengumongameli IRwanda - njengeqembu elinecala. Yize kungenakuphikiswa ukuthi ibhanoyi likamengameli lidutshuliwe phansi, izinhlangano ezilwela amalungelo abantu nezinhlangano zamazwe omhlaba zivele zadlulisa ukudlula "kokuphahlazeka kwendiza" futhi zenqaba ukuphenya.

Indlela yesithathu yokuvimbela ukubulawa kwabantu, okwaqala masinyane ezindabeni zokubulawa kukamongameli, kungenzeka ukuthi kwaba ukuthumela abagcini bokuthula be-UN (hhayi into efanayo nemicibisholo yeSihogo Somlilo, makwazeke), kodwa lokho kwakungeyona into eyayifunwa iWashington, futhi uhulumeni wase-US wasebenza ngokumelene nalo. Lokho okwakuphethwe uClinton ngemuva kwalokho kwakuwukubeka uKagame emandleni. Ngakho-ke ukumelana nokubiza ukuhlatshwa ngokuthi "ukuqothulwa kohlanga" (nokuthumela i-UN) kuze kube yilapho kusolwa lelo cala kuhulumeni ophethwe amaHutu kwabonakala kuwusizo. Ubufakazi obuhlanganiswe yiPhilpot bukhombisa ukuthi "ukuqothulwa kohlanga" akuhlelwanga kangako njengoba kwaqhuma kulandela ukudutshulwa kwendiza, kwakugqugquzelwa kwezepolitiki kunokuba kube ngobuzwe nje kuphela, futhi kwakungelona uhlangothi olulodwa njengoba kucatshangwa ngokujwayelekile.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukubulawa kwezakhamizi eRwanda kuqhubekile kusukela lapho, yize ukubulawa kwabantu bekusinda kakhulu eCongo elingumakhelwane, lapho uhulumeni kaKagame alwa khona impi - ngosizo lwaseMelika nezikhali namasosha - waqhumisa ngamabhomu amakamu ababaleki abulala abantu abayizigidi. Izaba zokungena eCongo kube ukuzingelwa kwezigebengu zempi zaseRwanda. Isisusa sangempela kube Ukulawulwa kweNtshonalanga kanye nezinzuzo. Impi eCongo iqhubekile kuze kube yilolu suku, ishiye abanye abayizigidi eziyisithupha beshonile - ukubulawa okubi kakhulu kusukela kwabangu-6 million weWWII. Futhi-ke akekho noyedwa owake athi “Kumele sivimbele enye iCongo!”
