Kusukela Izimangaliso Ezivamile
Iloli elikhulu elimnyama elimnyama langena phakathi kwababhikishi ababevimba indawo yokupaka mina ngacwayiza, ngamehlo, ngokungathi ngiyazizwela nami uqobo - le ngxenye yensimbi engenacala.
Bengilulama ekulimaleni kwebhayisekili lapho ngibuka umcimbi ezindabeni ngesonto eledlule, njengamalungu e Akuphinde futhi ukunyakaza bama ngezinyawo zabo ukuvala iWyatt Detention Facility, eCentral Falls, i-RI ngangiwe ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngaphambili; ubuso bami bashaya eceleni kwendlela. Bengisondele kakhulu ekuhlukumezeni kwami uqobo ukuthi angizweli ukuzwela okuthusayo njengoba ngibuka i- ividiyo.
Futhi kusukela ngalesosikhathi bengilokhu ngicabanga ngesibindi esiyindida sokumelana okungezona ezombusazwe, isidingo esingesihle sokushintshwa kanye nokuqedwa kwamaphutha “asemthethweni” - kusuka kuJim Crow ekuxhashazweni kwamakoloni kuye ekunakekelweni kwamakamu okuhlushwa (eJalimane, e-United States. ). Umdwebo oyisisekelo wokubhikisha okungekho emthethweni ngokumelene nokuziphatha okunjalo okusemthethweni okuvunyelwe ngukuthi, uma uvimba umgodi ohamba ngomzimba wakho noma umane weqe ibhuloho, kuncike ebuntwini balabo ohlangabezana nabo, abahlome ngezikhali abaziphethe noma izimoto abazishayelayo, ukubenza bangenzi ulaka lwabo futhi bakulimaze noma bakubulale.
Ingabe lokhu akusona isisekelo sesibindi? Awulethi lutho ngaphandle kwakho, onikezwe amandla kuphela wobubele besimilo - indlela yomhlaba kufanele Iba - emfundweni yokufuna ushintsho. Lokhu akubonisi ngisho njengokunengqondo ezweni elilahlekile. Awubeki imbangela yakho yobulungiswa nokungakhethi eceleni njengoba uhlanganyela nesitha ekudubuleni okuhlomile, ngecebo lokusebenzisa imithetho emisha yezenhlalo ngemuva kokuwina. Wakha iqiniso elisha njengoba ulilwela. Ukubhikisha okungahambisani nokungqubuzana kungukuxabana phakathi kwezidalwa ezihlangene: uthando vs inzondo Lokhu mhlawumbe, yincazelo yokuziphendukela kwemvelo.
Futhi akuveli ngaphandle kobuhlungu.
Ngakho-ke, kusihlwa ngo-Aug. 14, abanye ababhikishi be-500 Akaphindanga baphinde bame ngaphandle kwe Isikhungo Sokuboshwa se-Wyatt, ijele elinabantu abazimele ngaphansi kwenkontileka ne-ICE, ebephethe iziboshwa zase-100, ezazinqatshelwa zidinga ukunakekelwa kwezokwelapha futhi zikhuthazelela ezinye izimo ezinobuntu. Cishe i-9 pm, kube nokushintshwa kwezinguquko esikhungweni futhi abanye babhikishi bazibeka emnyango wokupaka indawo enkulu. Lokhu ngempela kwakuyimpikiswano ngqo; bebefuna ukuphazamisa ukusebenza ejele okwesikhashana.
Ngemuva kwesikhashana nje, isisebenzi esisesiteketweni esimnyama saphenduka inkatho, sashaya uphondo lwaso kwababhikishi. Ngenkathi beshayeka entanjeni yeloli lakhe wavele waqonda ngqo kulabo ababhikishi, kwathi ababili balimala bangeniswa esibhedlela (indoda eyodwa yalimala umlenze waphuma ukopha kwangaphakathi). Ngemuva kwesikhashana, amabutho ayisithupha aqhamuka ngaphandle kwesikhungo aqhumisa isixuku ngepelepele, okwenza ababhikishi abathathu, kubandakanya nowesifazane ose70 yakhe, bangeniswa esibhedlela.
Bekuyikho lokho, ngaphandle kwevidiyo yegciwane kanye nokuhlanganiswa kwezindaba. Yize abaphathi kanye nesikhungo “bewina,” besabalalisa isixuku futhi besusa indawo yokupaka, umshayeli owaphoqa ababhikishi ngokuphoxeka wabekwa ekhefini lokuphatha futhi kungekudala ngemuva kwalokho "washiya phansi."
I-Rhode Island ACLU yabe isimemezela ngemuva kwesitatimende ukuthi impendulo yalesi sikhungo kulombhikisho "bekuwumzamo wokufuna ukusetshenziswa kwamalungelo okuchibiyela okuqala ngamakhulu ababhikishi abanokuthula." Kuphindwe futhi "ukusetshenziswa kwebutho okwamukelekayo ngokuphelele."
Mhlawumbe kunjalo, kepha ngingeza ukuthi nakho kuningi, kungaphezu kwalokho. Ababhikishi bebengemi ngaphandle kweWyatt Detention Center ngenxa yesifiso esithile sokusebenzisa ilungelo lokuchibiyela okokuqala, kodwa ngenxa yentukuthelo ebudlelwaneni balesi sikhungo ne-ICE kanye nokuboshwa kukahulumeni waseMelika ngabokufika. Ukuthi basebenza ngaphakathi kwelungelo lomthethosisekelo noma bangaphandle kwamalungelo abo asemthethweni akukho yini lokho. Bebefuna, okwamanje, ilungelo lokuphazamisa ukusungulwa kwamakamu okuhlushwa kanye nokuboshwa kwawo ngokungagcwele kwabafuna indawo yokukhosela yaseLatin America - abantu ababalekayo, imvamisa nezingane zabo, izimo zokuphelelwa yithemba emazweni abo omdabu, ngokwengxenye okubangelwe yizenzo zase-US ngaphezulu amashumi ayisithupha noma ayisikhombisa eminyaka edlule.
Baphinde bawela i-Edmund Pettus Bridge, behamba bengahlomile bebhekene nebutho lasekhaya lamaphoyisa athwala ikilabhu. Bebehamba noMartin Luther King, noMahatma Gandhi, benoNelson Mandela.
"Ukungabekezeleli kungamandla amakhulu okuthola isintu," Gandhi wathi. "Unamandla kunesikhali esikhulu kunazo zonke sokubhubhisa esenziwe ubuhlakani bomuntu."
Nginala mazwi engqondweni, ngiphinda ngibuka ukubuka kwami kobuhlungu bokuphikiswa kwamaloli e-pilo ejele langasese. Okomzuzwana, njengoba ngangibukele le vidiyo futhi ngizwa izinhlungu zenziwa, ngacabanga ngeTiananmen Square - amabutho kahulumeni egqekeza umbhikisho ongahluzeki ngezibhamu namathangi, ebulala amakhulukhulu noma mhlawumbe izinkulungwane ekuzimiseleni kwawo ukulawulwa.
Ngabe ukungabi nabudlova kunamandla kangakanani kunezikhali zempi? Kungabonakala ukuthi akunjalo okwamanje, kodwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, abaphathi bezikhali balahlekelwa. Okuhlukile kokungabi nabudlova akusona udlame. Okuphambene nokungazi.
“NjengamaJuda, sifundiswe ukuthi singavumeli noma yini efana nokuQothulwa Kwesizwe yenzeke futhi. Le nkinga ayenzeki emngceleni nje. Kuyenzeka emiphakathini yethu nxazonke zezwe. ”Lokhu kufunda kanjalo kwethi never Again Is Now isimemezelo sokuqashwa kabusha.
“. . . Embhalweni wethu ngo-Agasti, unogada eWyatt washayela iloli lakhe emgqeni wababhikishi abanokuthula abavimba indawo yokupaka. Kungekudala ngemuva kwalokho, kwaqhamuka onogada abaningi baphuma bafafaza isixuku. Lawa maqhinga asetshenziselwa ukusesabisa ukusishiya phansi, kepha esikhundleni salokho sizimisele kakhulu kunangaphambili ukuvala lezi zinhlelo zodlame oluhlaselwe umbuso. Sidinga noma ngubani nawo wonke umuntu ukuba aziphonse egiya lohlelo. Sidinga osopolitiki bethu ukuthi bathathe izinyathelo ezinamandla ukuvala i-ICE ngokushesha futhi baqinisekise ukuphepha kwabantu abalekela e-United States. Kuze kube yilapho bekwenza, sizokwenza ukuthi i-ICE ingakwazi ukwenza ibhizinisi njengenjwayelo. Siyenqaba ukulinda bese sibona ukuthi kwenzekani ngokulandelayo. ”
Nginganezela: Lokhu ukuziphendukela kwemvelo okubambe iqhaza.
