Ngesonto eledlule amacala okuDesertion kanye Ukungaziphathi kahle Phambi Kwesitha batuswe ngokumelene noSergeant Bowe Bergdahl. Ngokudabukisayo, usayitsheni Bergdahl waphinde wabethelwa esiphambanweni, ngaphandle kobufakazi noma ukuqulwa kwecala, kuyo yonke inkundla evamile, enye indlela kanye nezokuxhumana. Ngalo lolo suku uSergeant Bergdahl wanikelwa njengomhlatshelo kosopolitiki ikakhulukazi bamaRiphabhulikhi, ama-blogger, osolwazi, oklebe bezinkukhu namajingoist, kuyilapho amaDemocrats ayethule kakhulu ngesikhathi uSergeant Bergdahl ebukiswa nge-elekthronikhi nangedijithali ku-Triumph yakamuva ye-Global War on Terror, uMongameli u-Ashraf. UGhani washayelwa ihlombe, mathupha, yi-American Congress. Ukuziqondana okunjalo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuhleliwe noma ngengozi, kuvame ukuvela ezinganekwaneni zombhalo noma zesinema, kodwa, ngezikhathi ezithile, zizibonakalisa empilweni yangempela, ngokuvamile zibonakala zihlanganisa izici ezinhle nobubi bomphakathi ngenxa nokuthuthukiswa kwezindaba ezixoxwayo zezombangazwe.
Inkinga ngalokhu kuqondana okuqondile kwalabo abangakwesokudla, abazitika ngephupho lempumelelo yezempi yaseMelika phesheya, kanye nakulabo abangakwesobunxele, abafisa ukufakazela ukuthi amaDemocrat angaba nzima njengamaRiphabhulikhi, ukuthi iqiniso lingase lingene. Okuthukuthelise nokushaqeka kwabaningi e-DC, uSergeant Bergdahl angase abonakale eyiqhawe elizidelayo, kuyilapho uMongameli Ghani engase adlale isela, futhi ukuhamba kukaSergeant Bergdahl ophikweni lwakhe e-Afghanistan kungase kuqondwe njengokufanele futhi isikhathi sakhe njengesiboshwa. yempi, ngenkathi uMongameli Obama eqhubeka nokuxhasa kanye nokufaka imali kuhulumeni eKabul, ngezindleko zabasebenzi baseMelika nabakhokhi bentela, kwamukelwa ngokugcwele njengokuziphatha okubi nokukhohlisa.
Ungcwatshwe emithonjeni eminingi yezindaba kuleli sonto eledlule ngamacala abekwe uSergeant Bergdahl, ngaphandle kuka- CNN, imininingwane yophenyo lweButho ngokunyamalala, ukuthunjwa nokuthunjwa kukaSergeant Bergdahl. Njengoba kuvezwe ithimba lezomthetho likaSergeant Bergdahl, abaphenyi bezempi abangamashumi amabili nambili bakhe umbiko onemininingwane mayelana nokuhamba kukaSergeant Bergdahl ophikweni lwakhe, ukuthunjwa kwakhe kanye neminyaka emihlanu eyisiboshwa sempi ephikisana namahemuhemu amaningi anonya nezithombe zakhe nokuziphatha kwakhe.
Njengoba kubhaliwe esitatimendeni sabameli bakhe esithunyelwe eButhweni Lezempi ngoMashi 25, 2015, esabela ekudluliseleni kukaSayitsheni Bergdahl ekuqulweni kwecala lokuqala kweSigaba 32 (cishe isilinganiso sezempi esilingana nejaji elikhulu lezakhamuzi), amaqiniso alandelayo manje aziwa ngoSayitsheni Bergdahl nesikhathi sakhe ngaphambi nangesikhathi evalelwe njengesiboshwa sempi. :
• Usayitsheni uBergdahl “ungumuntu oneqiniso” “ongazange enze ngenxa yezisusa ezimbi”;
• wayengenanhloso yokushiya unomphela futhi wayengenaso inhloso yokushiya iButho ngenkathi eshiya ibutho lebutho lakhe empumalanga ye-Afghanistan ngo-2009;
• wayengenayo inhloso yokujoyina iTaliban noma ukusiza isitha;
• ushiye isikhundla sakhe ukuze abike "izimo eziphazamisayo ekubhekeni kwesikhulu esiphezulu esiseduze".
• ngenkathi eyisiboshwa sempi iminyaka emihlanu, wahlukunyezwa, kodwa akazange abambisane nabathumbi bakhe. Kunalokho, usayitsheni Bergdahl wazama ukuphunyuka izikhathi eziyishumi nambili, isikhathi ngasinye ngolwazi wayezohlushwa noma abulawe uma ebanjwa;
• abukho ubufakazi bokuthi amasosha aseMelika ashonile efuna uSergeant Bergdahl.
Nakulokhu, lokhu okutholwe ophenyweni lweButho ngokunyamalala kukaSergeant Bergdahl; abakona ukuxolisa noma amaphupho ethimba lakhe lezomthetho, Amasosha Asolwandle aphenduke ama-peaceniks amelene nempi njengami, noma abakhi bozungu baka-Obama. Imininingwane engemuva kwala maqiniso iqukethwe embikweni Wezempi, obhalwe nguMajor General Kenneth Dahl, ongakakhululwa esidlangalaleni, kodwa ngethemba ukuthi uzotholakala emphakathini ngemuva kokulalelwa kokuqala kukaSergeant Bergdahl ngenyanga ezayo noma, uma amacala okulahla kanye nokungaziphathi kahle. zilandelwa, ngesikhathi sokulwa kwakhe enkantolo.
Iziphi izehlakalo azibonayo uSergeant Bergdahl ezazizomphoqa ukuthi abeke ukuphila kwakhe engozini, ehamba engahlomile endaweni elawulwa isitha, ukuze anikeze ulwazi kujenene waseMelika, akwaziwa okwamanje. Siyazi ukuthi iyunithi uSergeant Bergdahl kwakungowezokuqondisa izigwegwe ezinzima ngaphambi nangemva kokuthunjwa kukaSergeant Bergdahl, ukuthi abaholi abaningi bebutho lakhe baxoshwa futhi bashintshwa ngaphambi nangemuva kokubanjwa kwakhe, futhi, kusukela ekuxhumaneni phakathi kukaSergeant Bergdahl nomndeni wakhe ngaphambi ukuthunjwa kwakhe, uSergeant Bergdahl wayegula futhi ekhungathekile ngenxa yezenzo zeyunithi yakhe, kuhlanganise nokubandakanyeka okungenzeka ekufeni kwengane yase-Afghan.
Kungenzeka ukuthi uSergeant Bergdahl ushiye uphiko lwakhe ukuze abike ubugebengu bempi noma obunye ubugebengu obubi obenziwe amabutho aseMelika. Kungenzeka ukuthi ubezama ukubika ukwehluleka kobuholi bakhe obuseduze noma kube yinto, ngokubheka emuva, esizoyithatha njengento encane manje. Isenzo esinjalo ohlangothini lukaSergeant Bergdahl singasiza ekuchazeni ukuthi kungani ababengamaqabane akhe eqembu, cishe wona kanye amadoda uSergeant Bergdahl awashiya ukuze abike ngawo, abe namandla kakhulu ekumlahleni kwabo, ngakho bazimisele ukungamthetheleli ngokunyamalala kwakhe, futhi beqina kakhulu ekuphikeni kwabo ukukhombisa ububele ngokuhlupheka kwakhe ngesikhathi eyisiboshwa sempi.
Lolu lwazi lungase luchaze ukuthi kungani amaTaliban akholelwa ukuthi uSergeant Bergdahl wayelele ngemuva kokuqapha kunokuba ashiywe. Ukube wayeshiya ngempela, uSergeant Bergdahl cishe wayeyotshela iTaliban ulwazi oludelelayo mayelana namasosha ase-US emzamweni wokuvuna ubungane nokugwema ukuhlukunyezwa, kodwa uma wayezimisele ukubika ububi, ngokuqinisekile wayengeke akhulume ngalokho. ulwazi esitheni. Lokhu kungase kuchaze ukuthi kungani uSergeant Bergdahl etshela abathumbi bakhe amanga kunokuba adalule ukusuka kwakhe ngokuzithandela endaweni yamasosha.
Lokhu kuzophinde kuthethelele ukuthi kungani uSergeant Bergdahl eshiya isizinda sakhe ngaphandle kwesikhali noma amathuluzi akhe. Ngaphambi kokusuka endaweni yakhe eqashiwe, uSergeant Bergdahl wabuza umholi weqembu lakhe ukuthi kwakuzokwenzekani uma isosha lishiya isizinda, ngaphandle kwemvume, nesikhali salo namanye amagiya akhishiwe. Umholi weqembu likaSergeant Bergdahl waphendula ngokuthi isosha lizongena enkingeni. Ukuqonda uSergeant Bergdahl njengokungashiyi, kodwa ukuzama ukukhonza iButho ngokubika ububi kwesinye isisekelo kuzochaza ukuthi kungani ekhethe ukungasithwali isikhali sakhe futhi wakhipha amagiya asuka endaweni engaphandle. Usayitsheni uBergdahl wayengahleleli ukushiya, okungukuthi ukuyeka ibutho nempi, futhi wayengafuni ukungena enkingeni ngokuthatha isikhali sakhe futhi wakhipha igiya kanye naye emsebenzini wakhe ongagunyaziwe.
Lokhu kuvezwa okungenzeka kubaholi abaphezulu, futhi ekugcineni abezindaba kanye nomphakathi waseMelika, ngokufa kwezakhamuzi noma amanye amacala nakho kuzolandisa ngesivumelwano sokungadalulwa kophiko lukaSergeant Bergdahl olwaphoqeleka ukuthi lusayine ngemuva kokunyamalala kwakhe. Izivumelwano zokungadaluli zingase zibe yinto evamile emhlabeni wezakhamuzi futhi zikhona ezinkundleni zempi ezifana nokusebenza okukhethekile nobuhlakani, kodwa kumayunithi avamile ezingane azivamile. Ukuthunjwa kukasayitsheni Bergdahl yisitha, ngokunokwenzeka ngenkathi esendleleni edalula ubugebengu bempi noma ezinye izenzo ezingalungile, ngokuqinisekile kungaba uhlobo lomcimbi uchungechunge lomyalo olunamahloni olungazama ukuwufihla. Ukufihla okunjalo ngokuqinisekile bekungeke kube yinto engakaze ibonwe emlandweni wezempi waseMelika.
Ngokufanayo nokugomela okushiwo osopolitiki abaningi, osolwazi kanye namasosha angaphambili okuthi uSergeant Bergdahl akushiyile ngoba, ukukubeka ngamafuphi, wayezonda iMelika futhi efuna ukujoyina iTaliban, umbono wokuthi wabambisana futhi wasiza amaTaliban ngenkathi isiboshwa sempi siphinde sachithwa. ngophenyo lweButho. Siyazi ukuthi uSergeant Bergdahl wamelana nabathumbi bakhe phakathi neminyaka emihlanu eyisiboshwa sempi. Imizamo yakhe yokuphunyuka eyishumi nambili, enolwazi olugcwele ngezingozi ezihilelekile ekubanjweni kabusha, ihambisana ne Indlela yokuziphatha wonke amalungu enkonzo yaseMelika kudingeka ukuthi alandele ngesikhathi sokuthunjwa yisitha.
Ngamazwi akhe, incazelo kasayitsheni Bergdahl yokwelashwa kwakhe yembula iminyaka emihlanu enyantisayo nengenabugovu yokuhlukaniswa okungapheli, ukuchayeka, ukungondleki kahle, ukuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni, nokuhlukunyezwa ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo. Phakathi kwezinye izizathu, ukusinda kwakhe kumelwe kufakazelwe ukuqina okungenakunyakaziswa kokuziphatha namandla angaphakathi. Izimfanelo ezifanayo zemvelo ezamholela ekufuneni ujenene waseMelika ukuthi abike "izimo eziphazamisayo" zingaba amandla afanayo engqondo, angokomzwelo nangokomoya amgcina ephila phakathi nengxenye yeshumi leminyaka yokuboshwa ngonya, ukuboshwa, nokuhlushwa. Kungukuqonda kwami ukuthi iziboshwa zezempi zase-US kanye nabafundisi bokuqeqeshwa kokusinda bafunda ulwazi lukaSergeant Bergdahl ukuze baqeqeshe kangcono amalungu omsebenzi waseMelika ukuze akhuthazelele okuhlangenwe nakho kwesikhathi esizayo njengeziboshwa zempi.
USusan Rice, umeluleki kaMongameli Obama wezokuPhepha kuzwelonke, wagxekwa kakhulu ngonyaka odlule ngokuthi uSergeant Bergdahl “usebenze ngokuhlonishwa nangomehluko”. Kuwukuphela kobuzwe obungenazwela futhi obunxanelwe ngokwezombangazwe phakathi kwethu, manje eseqonda ukuhlukunyezwa uSergeant Bergdahl akubekezelela, ukumelana kwakhe nesitha esasimbophe, kanye nokunamathela kwakhe eMthethweni Wokuziphatha wamasosha ase-US iminyaka emihlanu ngaphansi kwezimo ezinyantisayo, angaphikisana. ukuthi akakhonzanga ngodumo nangodumo.
Isibindi sokuziphatha, ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo imibhalo Yezempi embikweni wayo ngoSergeant Bergdahl ihluke kakhulu kulabo bantu baseMelika abanikeze ukwamukela uMongameli uGhani ngesonto eledlule. UMongameli Ghani, oweba ukhetho lukamongameli wase-Afghan ngonyaka odlule ngendlela ebabazekayo futhi ebabazekayo, wamukelwe njengeqhawe ngamalungu azo zombili izinhlangano zezombusazwe, iningi labo eliye laphikisa ngokuthi usayitsheni Bergdahl kusafanele abe yisiboshwa sempi.
Njengoba enza kuMongameli uHamid Karzai ngo-2009, ngenkathi uMongameli uKarzai entshontsha ukhetho lukamongameli wase-Afghanistan ngalowo nyaka, uMongameli u-Obama wayala ukuthi kuqhutshekwe ngendlela efanayo ngokwezimali nokwesekwa kweMelika ngoMongameli uGhani. NjengoMongameli uKarzai, uhulumeni kaMongameli Ghani wakhiwe izinduna zempi kanye nezinduna zezidakamizwa. Abaningi balabo abaphethe e-Afghanistan bafana nePhini likaMongameli wase-Afghanistan, Rashid Dostum, izigebengu zempi ezaziwayo, kuyilapho abanye kungamadoda azenzele izizumbulu zokuzihlanganisa nezigebengu zempi phakathi namashumi eminyaka empi yase-Afghanistan echitha igazi, njenge-Chief Executive Officer yase-Afghan. Abdullah Abdullah (U-Abdullah Abdullah wazibonakalisa eyisela levoti elinekhono okhethweni lukamongameli lwangonyaka odlule futhi waklonyeliswa ngesikhundla esingaphezu koMthethosisekelo sokuba yiChief Executive). Kula madoda, ngamandla awo nangenzuzo yawo, uMongameli Obama uyalele ukuthi kwehle ukwehla kwamasosha ase-US asuka e-Afghanistan. Lokhu kuzogcina uhulumeni waseKabul uzinzile, kanti ukuhlinzekwa okulinganayo kwemali yaseMelika kuzovumela inethiwekhi yokusekela, okuyindlela yangempela kahulumeni wase-Afghan, ukuthi isebenze.
Kodwa-ke, njengoba uMengameli uGhani edinga uMengameli u-Obama ukuthi aqinisekise ukuthi uhulumeni wase-Afghan uyasinda, noMengameli u-Obama ubheke kuMengameli uGhani ukuthi asize ukuvikela sengathi iMelika iphumelele empini yayo e-Afghanistan. Njengoba izinqubomgomo zaseMelika zihluleka ngendlela emangalisayo kulo lonke elaseMpumalanga Ephakathi Elikhulu, ngezindleko zokuhlupheka kwamashumi ezigidi zabantu, uMongameli Obama akakwazi ngokwepolitiki ukubona uhulumeni wase-Afghan, uhulumeni i-United States ewubeka futhi ewugcina emandleni, ewa. Ngakho-ke, okungenani aze ashiye isikhundla, uMongameli Obama uzoqhubeka nokugcina uhulumeni wase-Afghan ephila ngokuzenzela.
Njengoba uMongameli uGhani evakashele eWashington, DC, amanga amakhulu empi enqotshiwe, evame ukubonakala emlandweni wanoma yimuphi umbuso, avuswa ngokuphindaphindiwe. Kukho konke ukumiswa kweMpi Enhle, ikakhulukazi phakathi nomkhankaso kaMongameli Obama ngo-2008 nesikhathi sakhe sokubusa, iqiniso lempi yase-Afghanistan ukuthi. amakhulu ezinkulungwane afile, kuhlanganise nabaseMelika abangu-2,356, amakhulu ezinkulungwane akhubaziwe, acwiywa futhi alinyazwa, kanti nakuba abalimele bengqondo cishe ngeke bangaziwa ngokugcwele, umcabango kufanele kube ukuthi babalelwa ezigidini.
I-Afghanistan ngaphansi kombuso waseNtshonalanga isalokhu iyisizwe ngaphandle komnotho, isekelwa kuphela ngosizo lwangaphandle. Imboni okuwukuphela kwayo okukhuluma ngayo ukuhweba ngezidakamizwa, okuhlinzeka umhlaba ngamaphesenti angama-90 e-opium ne-heroin nalapho uhulumeni wase-Afghan etshalwe khona kakhulu. Unyaka ngamunye, ngaphansi kokuphathwa kwaseNtshonalanga, abaphathi bezidakamizwa baye bazuza isivuno esiyirekhodi saminyaka yonke.
Ukuhlubuka kwe-Afghan kuphumelele futhi ngaphansi kobukhona baseMelika kanye ne-NATO. Ukunqoba kwezempi ngokumelene namaTaliban, okwathenjiswa futhi kwaqinisekiswa ojenene baseMelika abalandelanayo, akuzange kwenzeke futhi manje amaTaliban anamandla kunanoma yisiphi isikhathi kusukela ngo-2001. Ukugqugquzelwa intukuthelo ngokuhlala kwamanye amazwe kanye predations kahulumeni okhohlakele obuswa yizimbangi zobuhlanga, zezizwe nezendabuko, abantu basePastun baseMpumalanga naseNingizimu Afghanistan bayaqhubeka nokuhlinzeka ngosizo oludingekayo kumaTaliban ukuthi unyaka nonyaka abulale izinombolo zamarekhodi zabanye abantu base-Afghan, bobabili. izakhamizi futhi amabutho okuphepha.
Ngakho-ke njengoba uMongameli uGhani efika nesandla sakhe e-Washington, i-quid pro quo vele ewukusekela umbuso wakhe ukuze kusekelwe Amanga Obuhle Bempi Yase-Afghan, usayitsheni Bergdahl wajikijelwa esixukwini. Ukufa kwezinye izinsizwa kusolwa kuye, ngaphandle kokulalela ukuthi lezo zinsizwa zafa ngoba zisempini e-Afghanistan, hhayi ngenxa yezenzo noma ukungenzi lutho kwensizwa eneminyaka engamashumi amabili nambili yase-Idaho eyaxoshwa. alandele unembeza wakhe, futhi, ngingabheja, ukholo lwakhe ngokunjalo, ngobuwula, ububi nokubulawa kwempi. Khonamanjalo, ezombangazwe zethu nabezindaba ziyasitshela uma sinozwelo ngoSergeant Bergdahl nomndeni wakhe, ngakho-ke ngeke sikwazi ukukhathalela noma ukubonisa uthando ngemindeni yalezo zinsizwa ezifile. Lokhu kukhuluma kubekwe obala njengeqiniso lomhlaba wonke ngakho-ke intukuthelo yethu, ukukhungatheka, ukudideka, umuzwa wecala, amahloni kanye nosizi ngempi kudluliselwa phezu kokuhlupheka nokuzinikela komuntu ngamunye. Le mpi engenanhloso futhi engenasiphelo; le mpi eyabizwa ngecilongo njengempi yokulwa nobubi, kodwa, njengoba kungafakazelwa yi- ukulimala kokuziphatha lokho okungikhathazayo kanye nomakadebona bami, abaphila nolwazi lokuthi i-trope yobubi ingatholakala kithina, kusibonise okonakele ngokokuziphatha njengezitha zethu, njengoba nojenene abangenakubalwa abaxhasa futhi bagunyaza le mpi abakaze bathweswe icala ngokwehluleka kwabo noma babanjwe ukuze baphendule “ithemba".
Selokhu kwathi nhlo kukhona u-Alice e-Wonderland ofana nekhwalithi kwezombusazwe, umbono womphakathi kanye nempi, ikakhulukazi kulolu suku lwemikhankaso yezombusazwe engapheli kanye nokucwasana okukhulu. Phezulu kuphansi, okuncane kukhulu, njalonjalo. Isigameko esinjena akumangazi njengoba uSergeant Bergdahl, uMongameli Ghani kanye neMpi Enhle behlanganiswa, kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi impi yehlulekile futhi isekude nokuhle, uMengameli uGhani akayena ngaphezu kwesikhohlakali sokhetho esizungezwe ababulali, izidakamizwa. amakhosi nabazuzi bempi, noSergeant Bergdahl, kahle-hle, ngalokho esikwaziyo manje, kungenzeka ukuthi nguyena kuphela umuntu ohloniphekile kunoma yikuphi kwalokhu, insizwa eyadela futhi yahlupheka empini futhi manje ebizwa ngokuthi imbuka negwala, ngoba kungenzeka ukuthi ubezama nje ukukhuluma iqiniso ngeMpi Enhle.
