By Isikhungo Senqubomgomo Yezangaphandle yaseCanada, July 15, 2021.

World BEYOND War abasebenzi baziqhenya ngokujoyina izishoshovu eziyi-100, ababhali, izifundiswa, amaciko nosaziwayo ekusayineni le ncwadi evulekile elandelayo, nayo eyashicilelwa ku- I-Tyee futhi imbozwe kufayela le- Isakhamuzi sase-Ottawa. Ungangena ngemvume kuso lapha futhi ufunde kabanzi mayelana nomkhankaso we-No Fighter Jets lapha.

UNdunankulu othandekayo u-Justin Trudeau,

Njengoba umlilo wequbula uvutha entshonalanga yeCanada phakathi kwamagagasi okushisa aqopha umlando, uhulumeni weLiberal uhlela ukusebenzisa amashumi ezigidigidi zamaRandi kuzindiza zempi ezingadingekile, eziyingozi, ezicekela phansi isimo sezulu.

Uhulumeni njengamanje uphokophele phambili nomncintiswano wokuthenga izindiza zempi ezingama-88, okuhlanganisa ne-F-35 stealth fighter ka-Lockheed Martin, iGripen ye-SAAB kanye ne-Boeing's Super Hornet. Ngaphandle kokuthembisa ngaphambilini ukukhansela ukuthengwa kwe-F-35, uhulumeni wakwaTrudeau wenza isisekelo sokuthola isilwi esinobuqili.

Ngokusemthethweni izindleko zokuthenga amajethi zilinganiselwa ku-$19 billion. Kodwa, a umbiko kusukela ku-No New Fighter Jets Coalition iphakamisa ukuthi izindleko ezigcwele zomjikelezo wempilo yezindiza zizosondela ku-$ 77 billion. Lezo zinsiza zingasetshenziselwa ukuqeda izeluleko zokubilisa amanzi eziqiwini, ukwakha imizila yezitimela emincane ezweni lonke futhi kwakhiwe izinkulungwane zamayunithi ezindlu zomphakathi. AmaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-77 angakwazi ukushaja ushintsho olusuka kumafutha ezinto ezimbiwa phansi kanye nokululama nje kulo bhubhane.

Ngokuphambene, ukuthenga amajethi amasha kuzogxilisa impi ye-fossil fuel. Izindiza zokulwa zisebenzisa amanani amakhulu kaphethiloli okhethekile akhipha amagesi abamba ukushisa abalulekile. Ukuthenga inani elikhulu lezindiza zempi ezizosetshenziswa emashumini eminyaka ezayo kungqubuzana nokuzibophezela kweCanada ekuqedeni ikhabhoni ngokushesha ngo-2050. Njengoba izwe libhekene namazinga okushisa aphakeme kakhulu emlandweni, isikhathi sokusebenza kwesimo sezulu manje.

Ngenkathi kubhebhethekisa inkinga yesimo sezulu, izindiza zokulwa azidingeki ukuvikela ukuphepha kwethu. Njengalowo owayeyiphini likaNgqongqoshe wezokuVikela kuzwelonke uCharles Nixon kuphawulwe, azikho izinsongo ezithembekile ezidinga ukutholwa kwezindiza zokulwa ezintsha ze-“Gen-5”. Izikhali ezibizayo azisizi ngalutho ekubhekaneni nezinhlekelele zemvelo, zihlinzeka ngosizo lwamazwe ngamazwe noma emisebenzini yokugcina ukuthula. Futhi ngeke basivikele kubhubhane noma isimo sezulu nezinye izinkinga zemvelo.

Kunalokho, lezi zikhali ezihlaselayo cishe zingabangela ukungathembani noqhekeko. Esikhundleni sokuxazulula izingxabano zamazwe ngamazwe ngokusebenzisa i-diplomacy, izindiza zokulwa zenzelwe ukucekela phansi ingqalasizinda futhi zibulale abantu. Izindiza zamanje zaseCanada ziqhume ngamabhomu Libya, Iraq, Serbia kanye neSiriya. Abantu abaningi abangenacala babulawa ngokuqondile noma ngenxa yokubhujiswa kwe- ingqalasizinda yezakhamuzi futhi leyo misebenzi yathatha isikhathi eside izingxabano kanye / noma yaba nomthelela ezinkingeni zababaleki.

Ukuthengwa kwezindiza zokulwa ezisezingeni eliphezulu kuklanyelwe ukuthuthukisa ikhono leRoyal Canadian Air Force lokujoyina imisebenzi yase-US kanye ne-NATO. Ukuchitha amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-77 ezindizeni zempi kunengqondo kuphela ngokusekelwe embonweni wenqubomgomo yangaphandle yaseCanada ehlanganisa ukulwa ezimpini ezizayo zase-US kanye ne-NATO.

Ama-polls akhombisa ukuthi umphakathi unemibono ehlukene mayelana nezindiza zempi. Ngo-Okthoba 2020 Inhlolovo yeNanos uveze ukuthi imikhankaso yokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu iwukusetshenziswa okungamukeleki kwezempi futhi ukusekela i-NATO kanye nemishini eholwa ngabambisene nayo yinto esezingeni eliphansi. Iningi labantu baseCanada lathi ukugcinwa kokuthula nokusiza ezinhlekeleleni kuyinto eza kuqala, hhayi ukulungiselela impi.

Esikhundleni sokuthenga izindiza zokulwa ezintsha ezingama-88, asisebenzise lezi zinsiza ekunakekelweni kwezempilo, imfundo, izindlu kanye namanzi ahlanzekile.

Ngesikhathi sezinkinga zezempilo, zenhlalo kanye nesimo sezulu, uhulumeni waseCanada kumele abeke eqhulwini ukubuyiselwa okufanelekile, ingqalasizinda eluhlaza futhi atshale imali emiphakathini yaboMdabu.
