Amazwi avela emcimbini wokuqala waminyaka yonke wenzuzo ye-inthanethi we-WBW

Eminyakeni embalwa edlule abaningi bethu bebelokhu behlangana ngezingcingo zokusondeza. Ukubuka amakhaya nokufunda kuyangithakasela, nakuba ngizizwa ngicashile. Nokho, ngemva kwami ​​njalo kunesithombe esifakwe uhlaka sika-St. Oscar Romero, umbhishobhi omkhulu wase-El Salvador owaphenduka, wazihlanganisa nabampofu kakhulu, wahlambalaza impi, futhi wabulawa.

Abanye benu bayazi ngesizinda samasosha ase-US e-Fort Benning, GA eyaqeqesha amasosha ase-Salvador ukuthi ahlanganyele ekunyamaleni, ekuhlukumezeni, ekubulaleni nasekubulaleni. Emashumini eminyaka adlule, abangani abathathu, u-Roy Bourgeois, u-Larry Rosebough, no-Linda Ventimiglia, bagqoke ukukhathala kwezempi futhi bangena endaweni. Bagibela esihlahleni eside sikaphayini saseningizimu, base bevula ibhokisi lebhomu elaliqhumisa amazwi kaRomero phansi sengathi avela ezulwini: “Egameni likaNkulunkulu egameni labafowethu nodadewethu abahluphekayo e-El Salvador, ngiyacela. wena, ngiyakuyala, - yeka ukucindezelwa! Yeka ukubulala!

URoy, uLarry noLinda baboshwa. U-Archbishop Romero wabulawa, kodwa lawo mazwi ankeneneza asenawo. Yeka ukucindezelwa! Yeka ukubulala!

Impi ayisoze yaba yimpendulo.

Bengilokhu ngifunda imibhalo eqoqiwe kaPhil Berrigan, umsunguli wenhlangano yePlowshares, owasuka ekubeni yisosha waya ekubeni yisazi waba isishoshovu esiqinile. Waqala ukukhuluma futhi wasebenza enhlanganweni yamalungelo abantu, wabe eseba semhlanganweni wezempi ephikisana neVietnam, kwase kuthi, amashumi eminyaka, ephikisana nezikhali zenuzi. Wafaniswa nomprofethi “we-jack-in-the-box”. I-US yakhipha izigwebo ezinde zasejele futhi wayehlala ephuma futhi, etshela abangani: "Ngihlangabeze ePentagon!" Enkulumweni yakhe yokugcina ePentagon, ephikisana nempi yase-US esondelayo ngokumelene ne-Afghanistan, uPhil wancenga izishoshovu ezazibuthene: "Ungadinwa!"

Abangane ababili bakaPhil abangakhathali basesibhedlela namhlanje ebusuku, e-San Francisco. U-Jan no-David Hartsough banomndeni wabo, bazungeze umbhede kaDavid esibhedlela lapho esesimweni esibucayi. UJan wacela bonke abangani bakaDavid ukuthi bambambe ekukhanyeni.

UDavida uqondise World BEYOND War, engakhathali ubushoshovu futhi njalo esikhuthaza ukuba sihlanganyele ekuphikiseni okungenabudlova. Ngiphakamisa ithosi kuDavid noJan Hartsough. Enkomishini yami kunetiye lesidlo sasekuseni sase-Irish ngoba ngangingafuni ukubonakala ngikhathele uma nginikeza lesi saluthe.

Yebo, masiphakamise izibuko zethu, siphakamise amazwi ethu, futhi, okubaluleke kakhulu, siqoqe izimali.

Sidinga imali ukuze siqhubeke. Kunezisekelo okufanele zivalwe, izincwadi ezizobhalwa, amaqembu okufunda azoholwa, nezinhlangano zezempi ezizolungiswa kabusha. Iwebhusayithi iyakhanya. Ama-intern amasha ayasijabulisa. Kodwa kumele sikwazi ukuhlinzeka ngamaholo aphilayo kubasebenzi abalungile, abaphanayo, abahlakaniphile, futhi bekungeke yini kube kuhle ukube umqondisi wethu ophethe omangalisayo bekungadingeki adideke ukuthi imali ingenziwa kanjani.

Isikhwama esikhulu se-Merchants of Death siyaqhuma. Futhi abantu abaphila ukuphila okuguquguqukayo kuze kube phakade abatholi usizo oluncane.

Asifuni amasosha ezinkampani aqhubeke nokuthatha uhulumeni wethu, izikole, izindawo zokusebenza, abezindaba kanye nezikhungo zethu zezenkolo. Bangabaphangi bohlelo olubi kakhulu. Sidinga World BEYOND War ukusiza ukwakha ukulondeka kweqiniso, emhlabeni wonke, ukulondeka okuvela ekwelulweni kwezandla zobungane nenhlonipho.

Abezindaba basanda kugxila kumdayisi wezikhali waseRussia, uMnu. Bout, bambiza ngoMhwebi Wokufa. Kodwa sizungezwe futhi singeniswa Abathengisi Bokufa emhlabeni wonke ngendlela yabakhi bezikhali.

Kumele siqoqe izimali zokusisiza siphakamise amazwi ethu, ukugxeka impi nokusiza ukuzwakalisa ukukhala kwezisulu zempi ezisengozini kakhulu.

Namuhla ebusuku, ngicabanga ikakhulukazi ngabantwana ezindaweni ezinempi, izingane ezethuswa ukuqhuma, ukuhlasela ebusuku, ukudubula kwezibhamu; izingane eziphila ngaphansi kwezimpi zokuvinjezelwa kwezomnotho, eziningi zazo zilambile kakhulu ukuba zingakhala.

USalman Rushdie uthe "labo abaxoshwa yimpi bayizicucu ezikhanyayo ezibonisa iqiniso." World BEYOND War uzama, ngamandla, ukukhanyisa amaqiniso ngempi, ukulalela labo abalinyazwa kakhulu ezimpini, nokunaka izisekelo, abaphikisi, nabafundisi.

Impi ayisoze yaba yimpendulo. Ingabe singayiqeda impi? Ngikholwa ukuthi singakwazi futhi kufanele.

Siyabonga ngokusiza World BEYOND War senze izinhlelo ezicatshangelwe ngokucophelela njengoba sifinyelela futhi sifunda emaqenjini akhulayo ezishoshovu kuwo wonke amazwe emhlabeni.

Sengathi singabingelela futhi siholwe ngabangcwele besikhathi sethu. Sengathi singathola ukuqonda ezimpilweni zomunye nomunye futhi sakhe ubumbano olungakhathali. Futhi sengathi uDavid Hartsough angabanjwa ekukhanyeni. Hola ngomusa ukukhanya. Kuholele ku-a World BEYOND War.
