Ibhalwe nguJohn Malkin,  I-Santa Cruz Sentinel, Julayi 7, i-2022

Inhlangano yokuthula yamazwe ngamazwe World BEYOND War isingathe ingqungquthela eku-inthanethi kule mpelasonto yokuxoxisana ngokuqeda impi nokwakha ukubambisana, izinhlelo ezithuthukisa ukuphila. I-No War 2022: Resistance & Regeneration Conference yenzeka ngoLwesihlanu-ngeSonto. World BEYOND War yasungulwa ku-2014 nguDavid Swanson noDavid Hartsough ukuqeda isikhungo sempi ngokwayo, hhayi nje "impi yosuku." Thola okwengeziwe mayelana nengqungquthela ye-virtural ngokuvakashela https://worldbeyondwar.org/nowar2022.

Isishoshovu sesikhathi eside uKathy Kelly waba umongameli we World Beyond War ngoMashi. Wasungula i-Voices in the Wilderness ngo-1996 futhi wahlela inqwaba yezithunywa eziya e-Iraq ukuyoletha izinto zokwelapha ngokungahambisani nezigwegwe zezomnotho zase-US ngawo-'90s. Ngo-1998 uKelly waboshelwa ukutshala ummbila esiseleni sezikhali zenuzi eduze kwaseKansas City njengengxenye ye-Missouri Peace Planting. Uhlale izinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye ejele lasePekin abhala ngalo encwadini yakhe yango-2005 ethi, “Other Lands Have Dreams: From Baghdad to Pekin Prison.” (Counterpunch Press) I-Sentinel isanda kukhuluma noKelly mayelana nempi ye-drone, ukuqedwa kwamajele kanye nohambo lwakhe oluningi oluya e-Afghanistan, e-Iraq nakwezinye izindawo ukuze abone izimpi zase-US futhi asize ekudambiseni ukuhlupheka.

Gcwalisa lezo zibhamu

UMB: “Kuthiwa abantu bayakwazi ukubona ngeso lengqondo ukuphela komhlaba kunokuphela konxiwankulu. Ngokulinganayo, abakwazi ukubona ngeso lengqondo ukuphela kwempi. Ngitshele ngamathuba okuqeda izimpi.”

IMPENDULO: “Esimelene nakho kubonakala kungaphezu kwamandla ngoba amasosha anamandla okulawula abantu abakhethiwe. Banama-lobbies amakhulu okuqhubeka nokukhuthaza lokho kulawula. Okubukeka bengenakho yizinqubo zokucabanga eziphusile,” kusho uKelly.

“Bengilokhu ngicabanga ngomlayezo engawuthola ngemuva kwesibhicongo esibi e-Uvalde, eTexas kumngane wami omncane, u-Ali, engangimvakashele izikhathi eziningi e-Afghanistan,” kuqhubeka uKelly. Wangibuza, 'Singabasiza kanjani abazali abasosizini e-Uvalde?' Kwangithinta kakhulu lokho, ngoba uhlale ezama ukududuza unina odabukile ngokushona komfowabo omdala, owangena eMbuthweni Wezokuvikela Kazwelonke Wase-Afghan ngenxa yobumpofu, futhi wabulawa. U-Ali unenhliziyo enkulu kakhulu. Ngakho, ngathi, 'Ali, uyakhumbula eminyakeni eyisikhombisa edlule lapho wena nabangane bakho nihlangana nezingane zasemgwaqweni owawuzifundisa futhi uqoqa zonke izibhamu zamathoyizi owawungazithola?' Zaziningi. 'Nawe nemba ithuna elikhulu nagqiba lezo zibhamu. Futhi watshala isihlahla phezu kwalelothuna. Uyakhumbula ukuthi kwakukhona owesifazane owayebukele futhi waphefumulelwa, wathenga ifosholo wahlanganyela nawe ukuze atshale ezinye izihlahla?'

“Ngicabanga ukuthi abantu abaningi bangabheka u-Ali, abangani bakhe kanye nalowo wesifazane bathi bangamaqili,” kusho uKelly. “Kodwa empeleni abantu abakhohlisayo yibona abalokhu besisondeza empini yenuzi. Ekugcineni kuzosetshenziswa izikhali zenuzi. Abakhohlisayo yibo abacabanga ukuthi izindleko zezempi zifanelekile. Lapho empeleni kucekela phansi ngokuphelele isibambiso abantu abasidingayo sokudla, ezempilo, imfundo nemisebenzi.”

Ukumelana nokuqina

UMB: “Sisesikhathini lapho kunokuhlolwa kabusha okunamandla komlando wase-US. Abantu bayizimpawu eziyinselele futhi badalula imininingwane efihlekile yobugqila, ukuqothulwa kohlanga, impi, amaphoyisa namajele kanye nomlando ovame ukufihlwa wezinhlangano ezimelene nalezo zinhlelo ezinodlame. Ingabe ikhona imibhikisho yakamuva emelene nezempi eseyalibaleka?”

IMPENDULO: “Bengicabanga kakhulu ngempi yango-2003 ne-Iraq, eyaqala ngempi yango-1991 ne-Iraq. Futhi phakathi kwaba yimpi yezijeziso zezomnotho. Imiphumela yalezo zijeziso icishe yashabalala emlandweni,” kusho uKelly. “Ngiyabonga uJoy Gordon ubhale incwadi engeke isulwe. (“Impi Engabonakali: I-United States kanye Nezigwegwe zase-Iraq” – Harvard University Press 2012) Kodwa ungacindezelwa kanzima ukuthola ulwazi oluningi olwaqoqwa amaqembu amaningi lapho eya e-Iraq njengofakazi bokuzibonela bodlame olubhekiswe kubantu abangenacala. abantu base-Iraq, eduze kwa-Israel enezikhali ze-thermonuclear ezingama-200 kuye kwezingama-400.

“Konke kumayelana nokumelana nokuqina,” kuqhuba uKelly. “Kumele sakhe imiphakathi enokuthula, ngokubambisana futhi simelane nodlame lwezempi. Omunye wemikhankaso ebaluleke kakhulu engake ngahileleka kuyo kwaba umkhankaso wokuqina. Saya e-Iraq izikhathi ezingama-27 futhi sahlela izithunywa ezingama-70 ngokwephula unswinyo lwezomnotho futhi saletha izinto zosizo lwezokwelapha.

“Okubaluleke kakhulu ekubuyeni kwaba umzamo wezemfundo. Abantu bebesebenzisa awabo amazwi ukukhulisa amazwi abefihliwe,” kusho uKelly. “Bakhulume ezinkundleni zomphakathi, emakilasini asemanyuvesi, emibuthanweni yezenkolo nasemibonisweni. Ungase ucabange, 'Hhayi-ke, lokho kwakuwukushayelwa ikhwela emoyeni, akunjalo?' Kodwa akulona yini iqiniso ukuthi ngo-2003 umhlaba wasondela kakhulu kunangaphambili ukuze kumiswe impi ngaphambi kokuba iqale? Ngivele ngikhale ngisho namanje ngicabanga ukuthi umzamo wehlulekile, nokuthi lokho kusho ukuthini kubantu base-Iraq. Akududuzi ukwazi ukuthi abantu bazame kanzima. Kodwa akufanele silahlekelwe iqiniso lokuthi izigidi zavela emhlabeni wonke ukuzophikisa impi esimweni lapho abezindaba abavamile bengakaze bakhulume lutho, ikakhulukazi e-United States, ngabantu abavamile e-Iraq.

"Bonke labo bantu abaphumele kuleyo mibhikisho yokulwa nempi bafunde kanjani nge-Iraq? Uma kungenankinga ngohlu, e-United States bekungamaVeterans for Peace, i-PAX Christi, amaQembu Okuthula AmaKristu (manje abizwa ngamaQembu Okuthula Komphakathi), i-Fellowship of Reconciliation, izindlu Zabasebenzi BamaKhatholika ezakha izithunywa, iKomiti Yenkonzo Yabangane BaseMelika, Buddhist Peace Fellowship, Muslim Peace Fellowship kanye neqembu enganginalo, Voices in the Wilderness,” kukhumbula uKelly. “Ucezu lwemfundo lwenziwe ukuze abantu abaningi bazi ngonembeza, le mpi ayilungile. Bonke bakwenza lokhu ngokuzifaka engozini enkulu. Omunye wabaphambili be-Code Pink wabulawa e-Iraq, eMarla Ruzicka. Abantu beQembu Lokuthula LamaKristu bathunjwa futhi omunye wabo wabulawa, uTom Fox. Kubulawe isishoshovu sase-Ireland, uMaggie Hassan.”

World beyond war

Q: "Ngitshele mayelana neNgqungquthela Yokuphikisa Nokuphikiswa Kabusha Kwango-2022."

IMPENDULO: “Kunamandla amaningi amasha World Beyond War ukwakha ukuxhumana phakathi kwemiphakathi ye-permaculture emayelana nokuvuselela umhlaba, kanti futhi ukubona lokho njengendlela yokumelana nempi,” kuchaza uKelly. “Baxhumanisa ukuhlangana okudabukisayo kwenhlekelele yesimo sezulu kanye nempi.

“Abangane bethu abaningi abasebasha e-Afghanistan babhekene nokuphelelwa yithemba futhi ngihlabeke umxhwele ngokujulile imiphakathi ye-permaculture ehlanganise imihlahlandlela ewusizo yokwenza ingadi yezimo eziphuthumayo, noma ungenawo umhlabathi omuhle noma ukufinyelela kalula emanzini. ,” kuqhuba uKelly. “Umphakathi we-permaculture eningizimu yePortugal umeme abangani bethu abasha base-Afghani abayisishiyagalombili, abafuna izindawo eziphephile, ukuthi bajoyine umphakathi wabo. Sikwazile futhi ukuvula indawo ephephile yabesifazane ePakistan, lapho leso sidingo sikhulu kakhulu. Sibona umnyakazo othile wokudambisa umuzwa wokwesaba nokwesaba, okuhlala kuyimbangela yempi. Impi ayipheli uma kuthiwa isiphelile. Kuphinde kube nomphakathi onodlame eSinjajevina, eMontenegro lapho abantu bephikisana nezinhlelo zesizinda samasosha kuleli dlelo elihle.”

Ukraine

UMB: “Abantu abaningi basekela i-US ukuthumela izikhali ezingamakhulu ezigidi zamaRandi e-Ukraine. Akuzona yini izindlela zabo zokusabela empini ngaphandle kokudubulana noma ukungenzi lutho?”

IMPENDULO: “Abakhi bezimpi bayaphumelela. Kodwa kufanele sihlale sicabanga ukuthi bekungaba njani ukube abakhi bezimpi bebengenawo amandla. Futhi sithemba ukuthi lokhu kuzokwenzeka maduze ngoba okwenzeka e-Ukraine kungenzeka kube ukuzijwayeza ukuthi i-United States izolwa neChina,” kusho uKelly. “U-Admiral wamasosha aseMelika uCharles Richard uthe njalo uma bedlala umdlalo wempi neChina, i-United States iyahlulwa. Futhi ukuthi ukuphela kwendlela yokuthola isandla esiphezulu ukuthi i-United States isebenzise isikhali senuzi. Uthe uma kwenzeka kuhlangana amasosha neChina, ukusetshenziswa kwezikhali zenuzi kuzoba "ithuba, hhayi into engenzeka." Lokho kufanele kusethuse uma sinakekela izingane zethu, abazukulu, ezinye izinhlobo, izingadi. Ungawabona ngeso lengqondo amanani ababaleki abayobe bebaleka ngaphansi kwezimo ezimbi kakhulu zobusika benuzi, bebangela indlala nokungasebenzi kwezitshalo?

"Endabeni yase-Ukraine, i-United States inethemba lokuyenza buthaka iRussia futhi inciphise abaqhudelanayo ukuba ibe yiqhawe lomhlaba," kuqhubeka uKelly. “Okwamanje, abantu base-Ukrainian basetshenziswa kabi njengama-pawn abasengozini yokufa. Futhi iRussia iphokophele kulokhu kusetshenziswa kabi kosongo lwenuzi. Iziqhwaga zingathi, 'Kungcono wenze engikushoyo ngoba nginebhomu.' Kunzima kakhulu ukusiza abantu babone ukuphela kwendlela eya phambili ngokusebenzisana. Okunye ukuzibulala kwabantu bonke.”

Impi ngokumelene nabampofu

UMB: “Uke wavalelwa ejele izikhathi eziningi ngenxa yezenzo zakho eziqondile eziphikisana nempi. Akumangazi izishoshovu eziningi eziya ejele bese zengeza ukuqedwa kwejele emisebenzini yazo.”

IMPENDULO: “Kwakubalulekile ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuthi izishoshovu zokuthula zingene ohlelweni lwamajele futhi zibone lokho engikubiza ngokuthi 'impi emelene nabampofu.' Akuzange kube njalo ukuthi ukuphela kwekhambi lezidakamizwa noma udlame komakhelwane kungaba ukuboshwa. Ziningi ezinye izindlela ezifiselekayo zokusiza imiphakathi ukuthi ilulame futhi inqobe ububha, okuyimbangela yodlame oluningi,” kusho uKelly. “Kodwa abezombangazwe basebenzisa izinto eziwumgunyathi zokwesaba; 'Uma ungangivoteli, uzoba nomakhelwane onodlame ozongena kweyakho.' Obekufanele abantu besabe kwakuwukwakhiwa kwezempi yama-mafia e-United States. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kusekhaya noma emazweni ngamazwe, lapho kunengxabano umgomo kufanele kube izingxoxo nezingxoxo, ukubiza ngokushesha ukuthi kumiswe ukulwa futhi kumiswe noma yikuphi ukugeleza kwezikhali kunoma yiluphi uhlangothi, ukuphakela abakhi bempi noma iqembu lezigelekeqe.”

Ungabheki eceleni

IMPENDULO: “Amagama amathathu awabuki eceleni asengqondweni yami. Uma ngiye e-Afghanistan angikwazi ukubheka eceleni lapho ngibona ama-blimps nama-drones phezu kweKabul, ngiqapha futhi ngiqondise, ngokuvamile, abantu abangenacala," kuchaza uKelly. “Abantu abafana noZemari Ahmadi, obesebenzela inhlangano ezimele ezinze eCalifornia ebizwa ngeNutrition and Education International. Indiza eyindiza eyi-Predator yadubula umcibisholo we-Hellfire kanye namaphawundi ayikhulu omthofu oncibilikisiwe awela emotweni ka-Ahmadi washona yena kanye namalungu ayisishiyagalolunye omndeni wakhe. Izwe laseMelika ladubula imicibisholo eyi-drone yabavuna amantongomane futhi labulala abangamashumi amathathu esifundazweni esikude saseNagarhar ngoSepthemba, 2019. Badubula imicibisholo esibhedlela eKunduz kwashona abantu abangama-42. Ngaphansi kwenhlabathi yase-Afghan kunezikhali ezingaqhume eziqhubeka nokuqhuma. Nsuku zonke abantu bangeniswa ezibhedlela, izingalo nemilenze engekho, noma abasindi nhlobo. Futhi abangaphezu kwesigamu bangaphansi kweminyaka engu-18 ubudala. Ngakho, awukwazi ukubheka eceleni.”
