Izithombe ezengeziwe namavidiyo ngo World BEYOND War kukhona iyatholakala ukulanda lapha. Izithombe ngu-Koozma Tarasoff lapha.

OTTAWA — Bangaphezu kwekhulu abantu abaphazamise ukuvulwa kwe-CANSEC, umhlangano omkhulu wezikhali zamasosha eNyakatho Melika e-Ottawa, lapho kulindeleke ukuthi kuhlangane abantu abangu-10,000.

Izishoshovu eziphethe izibhengezo eziyizinyawo ezingama-50 ezithi “Yeka Ukuzuza Ngempi,” “Abadayisi Bezikhali Abamukelekile” futhi bephethe inqwaba yezimpawu ezithi “Amacala Empi Aqala Lapha” amabhodi avimbe indlela yokungena yezimoto nabahamba ngezinyawo njengoba ababekhona bezama ukubhalisela ukungena nokungena esikhungweni somhlangano, okubambezele I-Canadian Defense. Inkulumo yosuku kaNgqongqoshe u-Anita Anand yokuvula isikhathi esingaphezu kwehora. Emizamweni yamaphoyisa yokususa ababhikishi, athathe izingqwembe, abopha ozankosi abopha umbhikishi oyedwa, nowabuye wadedelwa ngaphandle kwecala.

The umbhikisho yabizelwa "ukuphikisana ne-CANSEC kanye nokwenza inzuzo ngempi nodlame eklanyelwe ukusekela", ethembisa "ukwenza kungenzeki ukuthi noma ngubani asondele noma kuphi eduze kobulungiswa bezikhali ngaphandle kokubhekana nodlame nokuchitheka kwegazi laba badayisi bezikhali ababambe iqhaza kukho."

"Silapha namuhla ngokubambisana nawo wonke umuntu obhekane nomgqomo wesikhali esidayiswe kwa-CANSEC, wonke umuntu omalungu omndeni abulewe, imiphakathi yabo eyasuswa futhi yalinyazwa izikhali ezithengiswayo nezikhonjiswa lapha" kusho uRachel Small. , umhleli nge World BEYOND War. "Ngenkathi ababaleki abangaphezu kwezigidi eziyisishiyagalombili bebalekile e-Ukraine kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-2022, kuyilapho izakhamuzi ezingaphezu kuka-400,000 zibulewe eminyakeni eyisishiyagalombili yempi e-Yemen, kuyilapho okungenani. 24 Izingane zasePalestine zabulawa amabutho akwa-Israel kusukela kuqale lo nyaka, izinkampani zezikhali ezixhasayo nezibukisayo ku-CANSEC zenza inzuzo eyizigidigidi. Yibona kuphela abantu abanqoba lezi zimpi.”

U-Lockheed Martin, ongomunye wabaxhasi abakhulu be-CANSEC, ubone ukuthi amasheya ayo enyuke ngamaphesenti angama-37 ngasekupheleni kuka-2022, kanti intengo yamasheya kaNorthrop Grumman inyuke ngo-40%. Ngaphambi nje kokuhlasela kweRussia e-Ukraine, isikhulu esiphezulu se-Lockheed Martin uJames Taiclet wathi ocingweni lweholo abikezela ngalo ukuthi ukungqubuzana kuzoholela ekwakhiweni kwesabelomali sezempi kanye nokuthengiswa okwengeziwe kwenkampani. UGreg Hayes, oyi-CEO kaRaytheon, omunye umxhasi we-CANSEC, utshele abatshalizimali ngonyaka odlule ukuthi inkampani ilindele ukubona "amathuba okuthengiswa kwamanye amazwe" phakathi nosongo lwaseRussia. Yena ungeze: “Ngilindele ngokugcwele ukuthi sizobona inzuzo ethile kuyo.” UHayes uthole iphakethe lesinxephezelo sonyaka lama- $ 23 wezigidi ngo-2021, ukukhuphuka okungu-11% kunonyaka owedlule, kanye namaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-22.6 ngo-2022.

"I-CANSEC ikhombisa ukuthi ukwenza inzuzo kwangasese kujule kangakanani kunqubomgomo yezangaphandle nezempi yaseCanada" kwabelwana ngo-Shivangi M, ummeli wamazwe ngamazwe wamalungelo abantu kanye nosihlalo we-ILPS eCanada. “Lo mcimbi ugqamisa ukuthi iningi labantu abaphezulu kuhulumeni nasezinkampanini zomhlaba ababoni impi njengento ecekela phansi, ebhubhisayo, kodwa njengethuba lebhizinisi. Siyakhombisa namuhla ngoba abantu bakwa-CANSEC abenzi izinto ezifunwa abantu abajwayelekile abasebenza. Okuwukuphela kwendlela yokubavimba iwukuba abantu abasebenzayo bahlangane bafune kuqedwe ukuhweba ngezikhali.”

I-Canada isibe ngomunye wabadayisi bezikhali abahamba phambili emhlabeni jikelele, njengoba izikhali zaseCanada zithunyelwa ngaphandle kwezigidigidi ezingu-2.73 zamaRandi ngo-2021. Kodwa-ke izinto eziningi ezithunyelwa ngaphandle eziya e-United States azizange zifakwe ezibalweni zikahulumeni, naphezu kokuba i-US ingumthengisi omkhulu wezikhali zaseCanada, ukuthola ngaphezu kwengxenye yazo zonke izikhali ezithunyelwa ngaphandle eCanada unyaka ngamunye.

"Uhulumeni waseCanada uhlelelwe ukwethula umbiko wakhe wonyaka wokuThunyelwa Kwempahla Yezempi namuhla," kusho uKelsey Gallagher, umcwaningi weProject Plowshares. "Njengoba bekuyinjwayelo eminyakeni yamuva nje, silindele ukuthi izikhali ezinkulu zidluliselwe emhlabeni wonke ngo-2022, okuhlanganisa nabahlukumezi bamalungelo abantu kanye nezifunda ezinobushiqela."

Ividiyo yokukhangisa ye-CANSEC 2023 ihlanganisa amasosha nongqongqoshe basePeruvia, eMexico, e-Ecuadorean, nase-Israeli abahambele umhlangano.

Amabutho ezokuphepha asePeru aye ulahlwe emhlabeni jikelele kulo nyaka ngokusebenzisa kwabo amandla abulalayo, okuhlanganisa nokubulawa ngaphandle kwenkantolo, okuholele ekufeni okungenani kwabantu abangama-49 phakathi nemibhikisho eyenzeka kusukela ngoZibandlela kuya kuNhlolanja phakathi kwezinxushunxushu zezombusazwe.

"Akuyona iPeru kuphela kodwa iLatin America kanye nabantu bomhlaba bonke banesibopho sokumela ukuthula futhi bagxeke konke ukwakhiwa kanye nezinsongo ezibhekene nempi," kusho uHéctor Béjar, owayengungqongqoshe wezangaphandle wasePeru, emyalezweni wevidiyo kwababhikishi. e-CANSEC. "Lokhu kuzoletha ukuhlupheka nokufa kwezigidi zabantu ukuze bondle inzuzo enkulu yabadayisi bezikhali."

Ngo-2021, iCanada yathumela impahla yezempi engaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-26 zamaRandi kwa-Israyeli, okuwukunyuka kwama-33% ngonyaka odlule. Lokhu kufaka okungenani amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-6 eziqhumeni. Ukuhlala kuka-Israyeli okuqhubekayo eWest Bank nezinye izindawo kuye kwaholela ekubizeni izinhlangano zomphakathi ezisunguliwe izinhlangano kanye namalungelo abantu athembekile abaqaphi ukuze kuvinjelwe izikhali ezibanzi ngokumelene no-Israyeli.

"I-Israel ukuphela kwezwe elinedokodo elinabameli be-CANSEC", kusho uSarah Abdul-Karim, umhleli wesahluko sase-Ottawa sePalestinian Youth Movement. “Umcimbi futhi usingatha izinhlangano zezikhali zakwa-Israeli - njenge-Elbit Systems - ezihlale zihlola ubuchwepheshe obusha bezempi kubantu basePalestine bese zibamaketha 'njengabahloliwe' emibukisweni yezikhali efana ne-CANSEC. Njengentsha yasePalestine neyama-Arab siyenqaba ukumelana nabo njengoba laba bohulumeni nezinhlangano zezikhali benza izivumelwano zempi lapha e-Ottawa eziqhubezela phambili ukucindezelwa kwabantu bakithi emakhaya.”

Ngo-2021, iCanada yasayina inkontileka yokuthenga ama-drones kumenzi wezikhali omkhulu kunawo wonke kwa-Israyeli kanye nombonisi we-CANSEC i-Elbit Systems, ehlinzeka ngama-85% wama-drones asetshenziswa amasosha akwa-Israel ukuqapha nokuhlasela abantu basePalestine eWest Bank naseGaza. Inkampani engaphansi kwe-Elbit Systems, i-IMI Systems, ingumhlinzeki omkhulu wezinhlamvu ezingu-5.56 mm, futhi kusolwa ukuba labo ibhulogi eyayisetshenziswa amasosha akwa-Israel ukubulala intatheli yasePalestine uShireen Abu Akleh. Ngemuva konyaka edutshulwe evikela impi yamasosha akwa-Israel edolobheni iWest Bank iJenin, umndeni wakhe nabangane bathi ababulali bakhe basazothweswa icala, kanti iHhovisi lika-Advocate General Wezempi Kwa-Israel lithe alihlosile. ukulandela amacala obugebengu noma ukushushiswa kwanoma yimaphi amasosha athintekayo. I-United Nations ithi u-Abu Akleh wayengomunye wabo Kwabulawa abantu basePalestine abangu-191 ngamabutho akwa-Israyeli kanye nezifiki zamaJuda ngo-2022.

I-Indonesia ingelinye izwe elihlonyiswe yiCanada amasosha alo ezokuphepha agxekwe kakhulu ngokuhlukumeza abantu abaphikisana nezombusazwe kanye nokubulala ngaphandle kokujeziswa ePapua naseNtshonalanga Papua. NgoNovemba 2022, ngenqubo ye-Universal Periodic Review (UPR) eNhlanganweni Yezizwe, I-Canada iyanconywa ukuthi i-Indonesia “iphenye izinsolo zokwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu e-Indonesian Papua, futhi ibeke phambili ukuvikelwa kwezakhamuzi, okuhlanganisa abesifazane nezingane.” Naphezu kwalokhu, iCanada inakho ithunyelwa ngaphandle U-$30 wezigidi “ezimpahleni zempi” eziya e-Indonesia eminyakeni emihlanu edlule. Okungenani izinkampani ezintathu ezidayisela i-Indonesia izikhali zizobe zikhangisa e-CANSEC okuhlanganisa iThales Canada Inc, i-BAE Systems, ne-Rheinmetall Canada Inc.

"Izimpahla zamasosha ezithengiswa kwa-CANSEC zisetshenziswa ezimpini, kodwa futhi nabezokuphepha ekucindezelweni kwabavikeli bamalungelo abantu, imibhikisho yomphakathi kanye namalungelo abomdabu," kusho uBrent Patterson, umxhumanisi we-Peace Brigades International-Canada. “Sikhathazeke kakhulu ngokungabi bikho obala kwempahla yezempi engu-$1 billion ethunyelwa e-United States isuka eCanada iyiswa e-United States njalo ngonyaka ezinye zazo ezingase ziphinde zithunyelwe ukuze zisetshenziswe abezokuphepha ukuze bacindezele izinhlangano, abavikeli kanye nemiphakathi yaseGuatemala, eHonduras. , Mexico, Colombia nakwezinye izindawo.”

I-RCMP iyikhasimende elibalulekile kwa-CANSEC, okuphawulekayo okuhlanganisa neyunithi yalo yezempi entsha enempikiswano - Iqembu Lokuphendula Lomkhakha Womphakathi (C-IRG). I-Airbus, i-Teledyne FLIR, i-Colt kanye ne-General Dynamics bangababukeli be-CANSEC abahlomise i-C-IRG ngezindiza ezinophephela emhlane, ama-drones, izibhamu nezinhlamvu. Ngemva kwamakhulu izikhalazo ngabanye futhi eziningana izikhalazo ezihlangene zafakwa kuKhomishana Yokubukeza Nezikhalazo Zomphakathi (CRCC), i-CRCC manje seyethule ukubuyekezwa okuhlelekile kwe-C-IRG. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izintatheli at I-Fairy Creek futhi on Wet'suwet'en izindawo zilethe amacala ngokumelene ne-C-IRG, abavikeli bomhlaba eGidimt'en balethe izicelo zomphakathi futhi wafuna a ukuhlala kwezinqubo ngokwephulwa kwe-Charter, kanye nezishoshovu e-Fairy Creek waphonsela inselelo umyalo ngezizathu zokuthi umsebenzi we-C-IRG uletha ukuphathwa kobulungiswa ehlazweni futhi kwethulwa a isigaba somphakathi-isenzo isola ukwephulwa kwe-systemic Charter. Uma kubhekwa ubucayi bezinsolo ezithinta i-C-IRG, izinhlangano ezahlukene ze-First Nations kanye nezinhlangano zomphakathi ezweni lonke zifuna ukuba ihlakazwe ngokushesha.

UMLANDO

Bangu-10,000 abantu okulindeleke ukuthi bahambele i-CANSEC kulo nyaka. Lo mbukiso wezikhali uzohlanganisa ababukisi abalinganiselwa ku-280, okuhlanganisa abakhiqizi bezikhali, ubuchwepheshe bezempi nezinkampani ezihlinzeka ngempahla, iziteshi zezindaba, nezinhlaka zikahulumeni. Kulindeleke ukuthi kube nezithunywa zamazwe ngamazwe angu-50. I-CANSEC izithuthukisa ngokuthi "isitolo esisodwa sabaphenduli bokuqala, amaphoyisa, izinhlangano zemingcele nezokuphepha kanye namayunithi okusebenza okukhethekile." I-expo yezikhali ihlelwe yi-Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI), "izwi lemboni" yezinkampani zezokuvikela nezokuphepha ezingaphezu kuka-650 ezenza u-$ 12.6 billion emalini engenayo yonyaka, cishe uhhafu wayo zivela kwamanye amazwe.

Amakhulu ama-lobbyists e-Ottawa amele abathengisi bezikhali abangagcini nje ngokuqhudelana ngezinkontileka zamasosha, kodwa banxenxa uhulumeni ukuthi alolonge inqubomgomo ukuthi ihambisane nemishini yezempi abayithengisayo. I-Lockheed Martin, i-Boeing, i-Northrop Grumman, i-BAE, i-General Dynamics, i-L-3 Communications, i-Airbus, i-United Technologies kanye ne-Raytheon bonke banamahhovisi e-Ottawa ukuze kube lula ukufinyelela ezikhulwini zikahulumeni, iningi lazo endaweni embalwa ukusuka ePhalamende.

I-CANSEC kanye nomanduleli wayo, i-ARMX, babhekane nokuphikiswa okuqinile iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amathathu. Ngo-April 1989, uMkhandlu Wedolobha Lase-Ottawa wasabela ekuphikisweni kombukiso wezikhali ngokuvotela ukumisa umbukiso wezikhali we-ARMX owawusenzeka e-Lansdowne Park nakwezinye izindawo eziphethwe yiDolobha. NgoMeyi 22, 1989, abantu abangaphezu kuka-2,000 bamasha besuka eConfederation Park bekhuphuka ngo-Bank Street bebhikishela umbukiso wezikhali eLansdowne Park. Ngosuku olulandelayo, ngoLwesibili zingama-23 kuNhlaba, i-Alliance for Non-Violence Action yahlela umbhikisho omkhulu lapho kwaboshwa khona abantu abangu-160. I-ARMX ayizange ibuyele e-Ottawa kwaze kwaba ngoMashi 1993 lapho yenzeka e-Ottawa Congress Centre ngaphansi kwegama eliqanjwe kabusha elithi Ukugcinwa Kokuthula '93. Ngemuva kokubhekana nombhikisho obalulekile i-ARMX ayizange iphinde yenzeke kwaze kwaba nguMeyi 2009 lapho ibonakala njengombukiso wokuqala wezikhali we-CANSEC, futhi owawubanjelwe e-Lansdowne Park, owawudayisiwe usuka edolobheni lase-Ottawa uyiswa kuMasipala Wesifunda wase-Ottawa-Carleton ngo-1999.

Phakathi kwababonisi abangama-280+ abazoba se-CANSEC:

• I-Elbit Systems - ihlinzeka ngo-85% wama-drones asetshenziswa umbutho wezempi wakwa-Israel ukuqapha nokuhlasela amaPalestine eWest Bank naseGaza, futhi ngendlela edabukisayo inhlamvu eyasetshenziswa ukubulala intatheli yasePalestine uShireen Abu Akleh.
• I-General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada - yenza izigidigidi zamadola e-Light Armored Vehicles (amathangi) eCanada athumele eSaudi Arabia
