Kusukela Amaphupho ajwayelekile

Iqembu lezishoshovu zokuthula eziyi-15 ngoMgqibelo ligoqe umbhikisho wesonto lonke ongenalo udlame, oqhelelene nenhlalo endaweni yaseNevada Air Force enesikhungo sokulawula nokulawula izindiza ezingenamuntu.

Ngonyaka oqondile we-11th, iCodePink kanye neVeterans for Peace bahole iShut Down Creech yabo yonyaka kabili ukubonisa ngokumelene nama-drones ababulali eCreech Air Force Base ukuze "baphikisane nokubulawa kwamarimothi" okwenziwe esikhungweni samasosha esise-45 miles enyakatho-ntshonalanga yeLas Vegas.

Ukumisa impi yedrone, uCODEPINK uvimbe iCreech AFB kuleli sonto eledlule, okuluhlobo lwento #SaintFrancisDay yenzelwe ,,, ngesikhathi # GcinaSpace4Peace isonto. Akekho oboshiwe eClark County esikhungweni se-drone – ejabule kakhulu #IsikhumbuzoSosuku yeall! pic.twitter.com/lw6z5VBGcz

Umgqugquzeli weCodePink uToby Blomé uthe izishoshovu, ezivela eCalifornia, Arizona, naseNevada, "ziphoqelekile ukuthi zibambe iqhaza futhi zithathe ukuma okuqinile nokuzimisela ngokumelene nokubulawa kwabantu okungekho emthethweni futhi okungenabuntu okwenziwa ngamadrone aseMelika okwenzeka nsuku zonke" eCreech.

Ngempela, abashayeli bezindiza abangamakhulu bahlala ezindlini eziphansi ezinomoya opholile e isisekelo- eyaziwa ngokuthi “Ikhaya Labazingeli” —ligqoloza ezikrinini futhi liguqula izitini zokulawula ukulawula ama-drones angaphezu kuka-100 ahlome kakhulu ne-Reaper drones aqalisa izindiza zezindiza emazweni angaba uhhafu wamazwe, kwesinye isikhathi ukubulala izakhamuzi kanye nezishoshovu zamaSulumane ezihlosiwe.

Ngokwe-Bureau of Investigative Journalism ezinze eLondon, i-US yenze okungenani iziteleka ze-drone eziyi-14,000 ngesikhathi se-War on Terror, kwashona okungenani abantu abayi-8,800—Kubandakanya izakhamizi eziphakathi kuka-900 no-2,200 2004 — e-Afghanistan, ePakistan, eSomalia naseYemen kuphela kusukela ngo-XNUMX.

Kulo nyaka, izishoshovu zibambe iqhaza "ekuvimbeleni okuthambile" ukuphazamisa ukungena kwabasebenzi be-Air Force abashayela bevela emakhaya abo kumasipala omkhulu iLas Vegas. NgoLwesihlanu, izishoshovu ezimbili — uMaggie Huntington waseFlagstaff, e-Arizona, noBlomé, wase-El Cerrito, eCalifornia — bavule isibhengezo ebesibhalwe ukuthi, “Stop Droning Afghanistan, 19 Years ENOUGH!”

UHuntington uthe "ukhuthazekile ukuthi abambe iqhaza kulokhu, ngethemba lokuthi sizofundisa amasosha ukuthi kumele alawule futhi aqonde imiphumela yezenzo zawo."

Izishoshovu zidale isiminyaminya ku-US Route 95, umgwaqo omkhulu oya esikhungweni, futhi zabambezela izimoto ukungena cishe isigamu sehora. Bashiye umgwaqo ngemuva kokusatshiswa ngokuboshwa ngamaphoyisa kaMasipala waseLas Vegas.

Ukuboshwa kwakuvamile eminyakeni edlule. Umbhikisho wangonyaka odlule — owenzeka ngemuva nje kwesiteleka sedrone saseMelika wabulawa inqwaba yabalimi base-Afghanistan-kuholele ekutheni ukuboshwa kwabangu-10 bezishoshovu zokuthula. Kodwa-ke, njengoba izishoshovu eziningi zingabadala, azange zifune ukuzibeka engcupheni yokuboshwa ngesikhathi sobhadane lweCovid-19.

Izishoshovu ziphinde zafaka amabhokisi okugcona emgwaqeni obhalwe amagama amazwe aqhunyiswe ngamabhomu yi-US, wafunda namagama ezinkulungwane zezisulu zeziteleka ze-drone-ezibandakanya amakhulu ezingane.

Eminye imibhikisho ye-Shut Down Creech phakathi nesonto ibandakanya udwendwe lomngcwabo olunesizotha eceleni komgwaqo omkhulu nezingubo ezimnyama, izifihla-buso ezimhlophe, namabhokisi amancane, nezinhlamvu zebhodi ezikhanyayo ze-LED emahoreni angaphambi kokuntwela kokusa zithi: "AKEKHO AMADONONI."
