I-Syria: Ukubuyisela Isithunzi Emgudwini Wokulwa Nezempi wase-US

[Qaphela: Ngishicilela lokhu ngaphandle kokuhlela, kodwa ngenothi elivela kimi ekugcineni, njengoba ngicabanga ukuthi lesi sihloko singasebenza njengesilungiso esiwusizo emaphutheni ahlukahlukene kodwa ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi siwenza ambalwa awo. -David Swanson]

Ngemuva kweminyaka emi-5 yezingxabano ezibulalayo eSyria, okuholele ekufeni kwabantu abayingxenye yesigidi, ukulimala kanzima kwezigidi ezengeziwe, ukucekelwa phansi kwezingxenye ezinkulu zezindlu nengqalasizinda yesizwe kanye nokufuduka kwabantu abayizigidi eziyi-12, isigamu sangempela. inani labantu besizwe, kusobala ngokusobala ukuthi inhlangano ezibiza ngokuthi “inhlangano yokulwa nempi yase-US” yehlulekile.

Inhlangano yaseMelika yokulwa nempi yaba negalelo elikhulu ekuqedeni impi yase-US eVietnam, futhi yavimbela ngempumelelo ukuhlasela kwe-US eNicaragua, futhi yanikeza ubumbano olukhulu kubantu base-El Salvador emzabalazweni wabo wokulwa nohulumeni wabo weqembu lokufa. Yaba negalelo elikhulu lobumbano kubantu baseNingizimu Afrika emzabalazweni wokulwa nobandlululo.

Kepha irekhodi layo kuze kube manje ekunciphiseni udlame eSyria, ingasaphathwa eyokusiza ekuletheni isixazululo engxabanweni, ingelinye lokwehluleka okukhulu. Futhi, ngokombono wezigidi zamaSiriya, kuwukukhaphela okukhulu.

Ngemuva kweminyaka engu-5 yokufa nokubhujiswa, kulandela ukuvukela umbuso okungenabudlova ekuqaleni kombuso wobushiqela ononya, asikho isizathu esizwakalayo sokuthi izishoshovu ezithintekayo eziphikisana nempi zithi "zisadidekile" ngenxa yengxabano, futhi zigodle ekulahleni impi eqhubekayo. ubugebengu okwenzeka cishe nsuku zonke eSyria namuhla. Ukuchitheka kwegazi nezingxabano zenzeka ezindaweni eziningi emhlabeni jikelele. Kepha esimweni sayo sodlame, iminyaka yayo yokubulala okungapheli, izinga layo lokuhlupheka kwabantu, iSyria ngokungangabazeki ihola iphakethe. I-Syria kufanele ibe phezulu kakhulu ku-ajenda yezinhlangano zokuthula nezobulungiswa.

Kodwa akunjalo, futhi indlela iSyria eqondiswa ngayo amaqembu amaningi alwa nempi aseMelika, ebona uhulumeni wase-US njengomenzi wobugebengu oyinhloko, ayilungile neze. Umbuso ka-Assad oyisigebengu, kanye nokwesekwa okukhulu kwezempi okuthola eRussia, Iran kanye neHezbollah kuyadedelwa.

Yebo, ukungqubuzana eSyria kuyinkimbinkimbi. Yebo, ihlanganisiwe. Yebo, ukuphikiswa kombuso waseSyria ononya kungcoliswe ukungenelela kwenqwaba yamabutho angaphandle anezinhlelo zawo siqu. Yebo, ukukhuphuka kwe-ISIS esikhaleni esidalwe ukungqubuzana kwengeze inkinga enkulu entsha.

Kepha izishoshovu ezimelene nempi akumele zixwayiswe yilezi zingqinamba. Ngempela, abenzi bokuthula abathembekile kudingeka ngezibopho zabo zokuziphatha ezishiwo ukuba bahlole ngokucophelela, balandele izindaba ezivela emithonjeni ehlukahlukene, futhi balalele amazwi ezinhlangothi ezihlukahlukene ezingqubuzanayo. Futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke, endabeni yaseSyria, kubophezelekile kwabadali bokuthula abaqotho ukuthi bangasebenzisi ubufakazi bangempela lapho lobo bufakazi buphikisana nesimo semibono esisethiwe, inkolelo ethandwayo, noma umugqa weqembu.

Abaningi embuthweni waseMelika wokulwa nempi ngokusobala bathola induduzo ngokubuka ingxabano yaseSyria “njengelinye nje icala lokungenelela kombuso wase-US,” kulandela iphethini esiyibonile yokuhlasela kwe-US ngokumelene neVietnam, iNicaragua, iCuba, i-Iraq, i-Afghanistan, iChile, nezinye izindawo. . Kodwa iSiriya yiSiriya. Ngokuphambene nenganekwane ethandwayo, akuyona "enye iLibya" noma "enye i-Iraq".

Ubufakazi nemibiko evela emithonjeni enokwethenjelwa kakhulu ibonisa ukuthi ingxenye enkulu kakhulu yokufa nokubhujiswa, ingxenye enkulu kakhulu yobugebengu bempi, ingxenye enkulu kakhulu yobugebengu obubhekiswe esintwini eSyria namuhla ivela embusweni wakwa-Assad nabasekeli bawo baseRussia nabase-Iran. Ebeka leli phuzu ngokusobala, uNavi Pillay, uKhomishana Omkhulu Wenhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene Wamalungelo Abantu, kusukela ngo-2008 kuya ku-2014, washo lokhu okulandelayo:

Izenzo zonya ezenziwa uhulumeni waseSyria zidlula kude ubugebengu bamaqembu aphikisayo. Umbuso kaMongameli waseSyria uBashar Assad yiwona obhekene namacala amaningi wamalungelo abantu…. Ukuhlukunyezwa kwezinhlangothi zombili kufanele kubhalwe phansi futhi kulethwe eNkantolo Yamazwe Ngamazwe, kodwa awukwazi ukuqhathanisa kokubili. Ngokusobala izenzo zamabutho kahulumeni zidlula kude ukwephulwa komthetho - ukubulala, unya, abantu ababoshiwe, ukunyamalala, ukudlula kude lezo ezenziwa amaqembu aphikisayo. (Associated Press, 9 April 2014)

U-Tirana Hassan, uMqondisi Wezimpendulo Zenhlekelele kwa-Amnesty International muva nje usho lokhu okulandelayo:

“Amasosha aseSyria nawaseRussia abehlasela ngamabomu izikhungo zezempilo ngokwephula umthetho wamazwe omhlaba. Kepha okumangazayo ukuthi ukusula izibhedlela kubonakala sengathi sekuyingxenye yesu labo lezempi ” (I-Amnesty Press Release, March 2016)

Kule mibiko, kanye nendikimba enkulu yobufakazi obusebenzisanayo bamacala empi ka-Assad naseRussia, izishoshovu ezimelene nempi zase-US zinezimpendulo ezihlukahlukene:

Impendulo eyodwa evamile ukuphika okusobala kanye nokwesekwa okusobala kombuso we-Assad osabekayo “njengohulumeni osemthethweni.” Ingxabano yenziwa ukuthi ukuvukela umbuso nokuphikiswa kuka-Assad kwakuyitulo le-CIA, futhi kusasele. Ngenkathi i-UNAC, "i-United National Antiwar Coalition," embukisweni wayo wangoMashi 13, 2016 e-NYC ifaka phakathi iqembu eligqoke izikibha ezinomfanekiso ka-Assad ovela ku-Assad "Iforamu YaseMelika YaseMelika" ongumxhasi wesenzo se-UNAC, i-UNAC futhi. zaziveza njengomsekeli ka-Assad, njengoba kwenzekile ezikhathini ezedlule.

Ngenkathi ithimba laseMelika liya eSyria futhi labusisa “ukhetho” lukamongameli lwangoJuni 2014, leli thimba lalihlanganisa namalungu e-Workers World Party, Freedom Road/Antiwar Committee, kanye ne-International Action Center phakathi kwabanye. Lawa maqembu azibeka ngokuqondile ekamu lase-Assad. Labo abathi bayizishoshovu “eziphikisana nempi”, kodwa bagubha ukungenelela okukhulu kwezempi yaseRussia eSyria nabo bawela kuleli kamu.

Inombolo enkulu yezishoshovu ezimelene nempi zase-US ayimsekeli ngokusobala u-Assad. Kodwa-ke, naphezu kwemibiko engaguquguquki yobugebengu bezempi bombuso obuvela kuDokotela Ngaphandle Kwemingcele, i-Amnesty International, i-UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Physicians for Human Rights kanye neminye imithombo ethembekile, izishoshovu eziningi ezimelene nempi ziyenqaba ukugxeka ubugebengu buka-Assad. ngenxa yokwesaba ukubhekwa njengabasekeli bokungenela kwezempi yase-US.

Ngempela, lokhu kube isipiliyoni sami somuntu siqu esijulile ngaphakathi kwamaVeterans for Peace. Ukumela kwami ​​​​ukugxeka ubugebengu bempi bawo ZONKE izinhlangano e-Syria, okuhlanganisa i-Assad, i-Russia kanye ne-US, kuhlangatshezwane nobutha obudlulele obunye ubuholi bukazwelonke nabanye. Izinsolo zokuthi “ngangigqugquzela inqubomgomo kahulumeni wase-US yokushintsha umbuso” kwaholela ekuvinjweni kwami ​​ukuhlanganyela emabhodini ezingxoxo angaphakathi e-VFP, kwangixosha ngempela ku-VFP ngemva kweminyaka engu-20 ngisebenza kanzima enhlanganweni.

Okudabukisa kakhulu ukuthi zingaki izishoshovu ezimelene nempi, ezinye ezinomlando omude wokuzimisela, ukuzibophezela kobuqhawe, ezivumela ama-dogmatist, abacasha ngesibhengezo esiwumgunyathi “sokulwa ne-imperialism”, ukuthi babeke i-ajenda yenhlangano emelene nempi. Kulowo mbhikisho we-UNAC eNew York, ngokubamba iqhaza kwabasekeli baka-Assad ononya, isishoshovu sokuthula esizinikele isikhathi eside futhi esizinikele ngokujulile uKathy Kelly wakhuluma. Egameni lobumbano mhlawumbe, akashongo lutho mayelana no-Assad noma ubugebengu baseRussia eSyria ngenkathi ifulege nobuso buka-Assad buvezwe esixukwini. Ku-Veterans for Peace, eyake yaba insika yokuziqhenya yenhlangano yokuthula yase-US, egameni lobumbano (noma mhlawumbe umkhuba), cishe zonke izitatimende ngeSyria zisola ukungqubuzana. ngokuphelele e-US. Leso isikhundla esingenangqondo kunoma ngubani onolwazi oluyisisekelo kakhulu lweSyria. Lesi simo, ngeshwa, sivame kakhulu emaqenjini aphikisana nempi e-US.

Ukukhuluma iqiniso, sekunesikhathi sakamuva, ukuqhekeka okumbalwa kwenkolelo-mbono ebusayo ebuka ukungqubuzana kweSyria kuphela ngokuya ngokungenelela kwe-US kanye nemfundiso yokuthi uBashar al-Assad, "njengesitha se-US imperialism" akumele igxekwe. Ikakhulukazi i-CODEPINK yenze esizeni sayo se-Facebook izinkomba ngezikhathi ezithile ku-Assad njengomashiqela ononya, noDavid Swanson ("World Beyond War”, “Impi Iwubugebengu”) igxeke labo abagubha umkhankaso wokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu waseRussia eSyria. Bobabili bafanelwe ukubongwa ngezimo zabo, kodwa futhi nokukhuthazwa ukuthi banwebe ukuqonda kwabo ukuze babone ukuthi imbangela yokubulawa kwabantu eSyria umbuso wakwa-Assad uqobo.

Kukhona abambalwa, kodwa abambalwa kakhulu, izishoshovu zokulwa nempi zase-US, ezikhethe ukukhuluma iqiniso ngokumelene nabo BONKE abakhi bempi, hhayi nje labo abahambisana nesikhunta semibono. Ukuhlonipha iqembu elihle lobumbano lase-US/El Salvador elithi "CISPES" lango-1980, okungenani emadolobheni amathathu ase-US izahluko ze-"Committee in Solidarity with the People of Syria" (CISPOS) ziye zavela. Kwezinye izindawo, amaqembu asekela ababaleki baseSyria anengcindezi yomthetho kanye nokuqoqwa kwezimali manje ayenzeka. Ukusebenza nababaleki baseSyria phesheya nase-US kukhanyisa izishoshovu zokuthula zase-US njengoba labo ababalekile eSyria bavame ukuphikisana nombuso ka-Assad, futhi bayaqonda ukuthi yimbangela enkulu yenhlekelele yaseSyria.

Ukwehluleka kwabo ukwenza impendulo ephumelelayo esihogweni esiphelele sempi eqhubekayo eSyria, kubuza umbuzo: "Yini Okufanele Izishoshovu Zempi ZaseMelika Zenze NgeSyria?

Nasi-ke isiphakamiso sami esithobekile sokubuyisela isithunzi enhlanganweni ye-US antiwar mayelana neSyria.

• Amaqembu amelene nezimpi kanye nezishoshovu kufanele zigxeke ngokuqinile WONKE ubugebengu bezempi nobugebengu obubhekiswe esintwini eSyria, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yiliphi iqembu elibenzayo. Umama waseSyria, ingane yakhe eqhunyiswe ibhomu lomphongolo we-Assad, uzwa ubuhlungu obuncane njengoba ebengenza uma ingane yakhe ibulawa indiza yaseMelika. Imibiko yaseSyria yoDokotela Ngaphandle Kwemingcele, Odokotela Bamalungelo Abantu, uKhomishana Omkhulu we-UN Wamalungelo Abantu, kanye ne-UN High Commissioner for Refugees kufanele de rigueur ukufundela izishoshovu ezilwa nezimpi.

• Kufanele kuqondwe njengeqiniso ukuthi ingxenye enkulu yabantu baseSyria ekujuleni kwezinhliziyo zabo, bayawubukela phansi umbuso wakwa-Assad amashumi eminyaka okonakala nengcindezelo, kanye nokudelela kwawo okunengekayo kwezimpilo zabantu abavamile ekuziphatheni kwawo kwempi. Futhi nakuba u-Assad enokwesekwa okuthile kubantu, akakwazi neze ukuba ngumuntu ohlanganisayo esizweni esibudinga kakhulu ubuholi obuhlanganisayo. Yize inhlangano elwa nempi ithola indawo yokuhlukana okukhulu kwemibono, ukusekelwa kombuso we-Assad akunandawo enhlanganweni yokuthula ethi inezisusa ezinhle.

• Kuyisibopho ngokuphelele kwizishoshovu ezimelene nempi ukuthi bathole futhi bahlale benolwazi ngomlando kanye nentuthuko yamanje kungxabano yaseSyria. Kuyisidingo esiqinile sokufunda kabanzi, emithonjeni eyahlukene, kanye nemibono ehlukene, kuhlanganisa naleyo esingavumelani nayo. Kuyaphuthuma ukuthi sizwe amazwi amaSyria namaSyria aseMelika. Ngeke silokothe ​​sinqume imibono yethu futhi sisebenze ezindabeni zase-Afrika-America ngaphandle kwemibono eminingi evela kubantu base-Afrika-baseMelika. Nokho kuyivelakancane ukuthi amazwi aseSyria azwakale ezinhlanganweni eziningi ezilwa nempi yase-US.

Okuxakayo ukuthi kunemiphakathi nezinhlangano zaseSyria-America kulo lonke elase-US ezikwaziyo nezizimisele ukuxoxisana nezishoshovu zokuthula zase-US. I-Syrian-American Council, etholakala kalula ku-inthanethi, iyinhlangano enkulu kunazo zonke yamaSyria-Americans, enezahluko kulo lonke elase-USA.

• Uma kubhekwa inhlekelele enkulu, cishe engakaze ibonwe edalwe yingxabano yaseSyria, izishoshovu ezimelene nempi kufanele zizizwe zinesibopho sokuchitha ingxenye yemizamo yazo ekwelapheni amanxeba zempi. Izinhlangano ezimelene nempi kufanele zihileleke kumaphrojekthi ahlinzeka ngosizo lwezokwelapha, ukudla kanye nolunye usizo lobuntu ezigidini zabantu abahluphekayo ngenxa yengxabano yaseSyria. Amaphrojekthi Odokotela Abangenayo Imingcele, Ikomidi Lababaleki BaseMelika, Inhlangano Yezokwelapha YaseSyria, Ogqoko Abamhlophe nabanye badinga ngokuqhubekayo ukuqongelelwa kwezimali ngomsebenzi wabo wokusiza abantu.

• Emsebenzini wethu wokuxhumana nabantu, okuhlanganisa imashi yokuthula, imibhikisho, izinkundla nezincwadi, amaqembu amelene nezimpi kufanele akhuthaze izingxoxo zamazwe ngamazwe ezivuselelwe ukuze kutholakale isisombululo esinobulungiswa ezingxabanweni zaseSyria. Ingcindezi yethu kufanele iqondiswe kubo bonke ababambiqhaza abakhulu kulo mbango, kufaka phakathi, kodwa kungagcini kuhulumeni waseSyria, iRussia, i-Iran, iSaudi, iQatar kanye ne-United States. Kuhulumeni wethu e-United States, kufanele sikhuthaze izingxoxo ezibucayi zamazwe amabili neRussia ezibeka etafuleni wonke amaphuzu okuxoxisana angaholela ekuxazululeni kweSyria kanye nesivumelwano neRussia. Lokhu kufaka phakathi izindaba zezohwebo, ukususwa kwezijeziso, ukuhlehla kwe-NATO, njll. Ukwehliswa okuphelele kwezingxabano phakathi kwe-US ne-Russia kuzuzisa sonke isintu.

Ukuxazululwa okufanelekile kwengxabano yaseSyria okuza nokukhulumela okuqotho okuvela enhlanganweni elwa nempi yase-US kuzobuyisela inhlonipho yamazwe ngamazwe umbutho wokulwa nempi wase-US owake waba nawo, kodwa ulahlekelwe yiSyria. Kubo bonke labo abaye bafaka umzamo kanye nengxenye yokuphila kwabo emsebenzini wokulwa nempi, ayikho intokozo enkulu, ayikho impumelelo enkulu engacatshangwa.

[Inothi elivela kuDavid Swanson: Ngiyabonga ku-Andy Berman ngokunginika kanye ne-Code Pink isikweletu esincane kulesi sihloko. Ngicabanga ukuthi isikweletu esiningi sibangelwa amaqembu amaningi kanye nabantu ngabanye. Ikakhulukazi, ngicabanga ukuthi ingcindezi yomphakathi e-US, UK, nakwezinye izindawo emise i-US enkulu umkhankaso wokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu eSyria ngonyaka ka-2013 ufanele ukubolekwa kakhulu futhi kude nokuba yisibonelo senhlangano yokuthula ehluleke ngokuphelele yenza impumelelo ephawuleka kakhulu yokuthula eminyakeni yamuva. Impela bekungaphelele. Yebo i-US waqhubeka nokuhlomisa izikhali nokuqeqeshwa kanye nokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu ngezinga elincane kakhulu. Vele iRussia yajoyina, yabulala amaSyria amaningi ngamabhomu ayo ukwedlula i-United States, futhi kwakuphazamisa kakhulu ukubona i-US. izishoshovu zokuthula ziyakuthokozela lokho. Impela uhulumeni waseSyria waqhubeka nokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu nobunye ubugebengu, futhi-ke kuyakhathaza ukuthi abanye bayenqaba ukugxeka lezo zigebengu ezesabekayo, njengoba kuphazamisa ukuthi abanye bayenqaba ukugxeka i-US. noma izinto ezesabekayo zaseRussia noma zombili, noma ukwenqaba ukugxeka iSaudi Arabia noma iTurkey noma i-Iran noma i-Israel. Konke lokhu kukhetha ekuthukutheleni kokuziphatha kudala izinsolo nokungabaza, ukuze uma ngigxeka i-US ukuqhuma kwamabhomu ngokushesha ngisolwa ngokuhalalisela ukuqhuma kwamabhomu eSyria. Futhi lapho ngifunda i-athikili efana nalena engasho lutho ngohlelo lokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu lwango-2013, akushiwo lutho ngokuthi uHillary Clinton wayefisa “akukho ndawo yempukane,” akushiwo lutho ngesikhundla sakhe sokuthi ukwehluleka ukuqhumisa ibhomu ngo-2013 kwakuyiphutha, njll., Kumele ngizabalaze ngingazibuzi ukuthi kungani. Manje-ke uma kukhulunywa ngalokho okufanele sikwenze ngale mpi, ngingathanda ukubona ukuvuma okuthile ukuthi iqembu elivimbe ngokuphindaphindiwe lokho okuhlongozwayo ephuzwini #5 (isivumelwano sokuxoxisana) kube yi-United States, okuhlanganisa. ukwenqaba isiphakamiso saseRussia ngo-2012 esihlanganisa ukwehla kuka-Assad - sinqatshiwe ngoba i-US wakhetha ukuketulwa ngobudlova futhi wayekholelwa ukuthi kwakuseduze. Ngingathanda futhi ukubona ukuqashelwa okukhulu kokuthi abantu ngokuvamile banethonya elikhulu kohulumeni babo, kunaphezu kohulumeni babanye. Ngicabanga ukuthi umuntu kufanele futhi abe nombono we-US imperialism ukuchaza US izenzo eSyria, okuhlanganisa nokwehluleka kwayo ukugxeka amabhomu e-Russian clusterbomb namabhomu ashisayo ngenkathi i-US amabhomu e-cluster ayawa eYemen, kanti i-Fallujah isanda kuhlaselwa. Umuntu kufanele abe nokuqonda nge-Iraq neLibya ukuze azi ukuthi i-ISIS nezikhali zayo kanye nezikhali eziningi zabanye amasosha aseSyria zivelaphi, kanye nokuqonda i-US engqubuzanayo. inqubomgomo engakwazi ukukhetha phakathi kokuhlasela uhulumeni waseSyria noma izitha zayo futhi okuholele ekutheni i-CIA ne-DOD amasosha aqeqeshelwe ukulwa wodwa. Ngicabanga futhi ukuthi isivumelwano okuxoxiswana ngaso kufanele sifake ukuvinjelwa kwezikhali nokuthi ukumelana okukhulu nalokho kuvela kumdayisi omkhulu wezikhali. Kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi iphuzu elibanzi lapha, ukuthi kufanele siphikise futhi siqaphele futhi sisebenze ukuqeda impi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ubani okwenzayo, yiyona efanele.
