I-US House of Representatives (ngoFebhuwari futhi futhi ngo-Ephreli, 2019) kanye neSenethi (ngoDisemba 2018 kanye noMashi 2019) bavote kabili ngama-bipartisan amakhulu aqinile ukuqeda impi yaseYemen (eyavotelwa nguMongameli uTrump ngo-Ephreli 2019. ).
I-Democratic Party Platform ka-2020 izibophezela ekuqedeni impi yaseYemen.
Kepha iCongress ayikasebenzi selokhu usongo lwe-veto lwanyamalala kanye noTrump. Futhi zonke izinsuku lapho impi ingapheli khona kusho ukufa nokuhlupheka okunyantisayo - okuvela ebudloveni, indlala, nezifo.
Ngiyakhunjuzwa - ukuthatha isibonelo esisodwa kweziningi ezifanayo - sendlela isishayamthetho seDemocratic state eCalifornia esidlulisa ngayo ukunakekelwa kwezempilo komkhokhi oyedwa noma nini lapho kunombusi waseRiphabhulikhi, ngaleyo ndlela sijabulisa abantu ngaphandle kokuzifaka engozini ngokwenza noma yini.
Inhloso efanayo ngokuvamile yenziwa izinkundla zeqembu. Abantu benza umsebenzi omningi onezinhloso ezinhle, ukuhlela, ukunxenxa, kanye nokubhikisha ukuze bathole imigomo emihle ezinkundleni zeqembu, iningi labo elishaywa indiva ngokushesha. Okungenani kudala inkohliso yokuthonya uhulumeni.
Ikhongolose ayinazo izaba kulezi zinyanga ezimbili ezedlule nokunye kokungenzi lutho. Ukube uMongameli uBiden wayeqeda ukubamba iqhaza kwe-US empini, futhi ukube yena namalungu e-Congress ahlukahlukene bezimisele enkulumeni yabo mayelana namandla omthetho we-Congressional, angakujabulela ukuthi iCongress yenze umthetho wokuphela kwempi. Njengoba i-Biden ingakuqedi ukubamba iqhaza kwe-US empini, iCongress ibophekile ukuthatha isinyathelo. Futhi akufani nokuthi sikhuluma ngomsebenzi wangempela weCongress. Kufanele nje babambe ivoti bese bethi “yebo.” Yilokho kuphela. Ngeke baqinise imisipha noma bathole amabhamuza.
NgoFebhuwari 4, uMongameli uBiden umemezele amagama angacacile ngokuphela kokubamba iqhaza kwe-US kule mpi. NgoFebhuwari 24, a Incwadi kusuka kumaLungu eNgqungquthela angama-41 acele uMongameli ukuthi achaze ukuthi wayeqonde ukuthini ngokuningiliziwe. Le ncwadi iphinde yabuza uMengameli ukuthi uzoyisekela yini iCongress ukuthi iqede impi. Incwadi icele impendulo ngaphambi komhla zingama-25 kuNdasa. Kubonakala sengathi akekho, ngokuqinisekile akekho owenziwe esidlangalaleni.
UBiden uthe ngoFebhuwari 4 wayeqeda ukubamba iqhaza kwe-US ekuhlaselweni “okuhlaselayo” kanye nokuthunyelwa kwezikhali “okufanele”, kodwa ukuhlasela (noma ngabe kunjani) kuqhubekile (futhi ngokusho kochwepheshe abaningi bekungeke kwenzeke ngaphandle kosizo lwase-US), kanjalo ukuthunyelwa kwezikhali. Abaphathi be-Biden bamise ukuthengiswa kwamabhomu amabili e-Saudi Arabia kodwa abazange bamise noma baqede konke ukuthengiswa kwezikhali zase-US nokuthunyelwa e-Saudi Arabia nase-UAE, abazange basuse ukusekelwa kwe-US kwempahla nokugcinwa kwezempi kwezempi yaseSaudi, hhayi ukufuna ukuphela kokuvinjelwa, futhi akazange afune ukusungula isivumelwano sokuthula nokuthula.
Manje sesineminyaka eyisithupha kule mpi, singayibali impi “eyimpumelelo” ye-drone eyasiza ukuyiqala. Sakwanele. Ukuhlonipha umongameli akubalulekile ukwedlula izimpilo zabantu. Futhi esibhekene nakho lapha akukhona ukuzithoba, kodwa ukuzithoba. Lo mengameli akayiqedi impi noma uyachaza ukuthi kungani kungenjalo. Udonsa u-Obama (yilapho umemezela khona ukuphela kwempi kodwa impi iqhubeke).
I-Yemen namuhla isalokhu iyinkinga ebucayi yobuntu emhlabeni, ngokusho kweNhlangano Yezizwe. Bangaphezu kwezigidi ezine abantu abasele dengwane ngenxa yempi, kanti abantu abangama-4%, kubandakanya nezingane eziyizigidi eziyi-80, badinga usizo losizo. Ukwengeza kulesi simo esivele sibucayi, iYemen inesibalo esibi kunazo zonke sokufa kukaCovid-12.2 emhlabeni - ibulala umuntu oyedwa kwabane ohlolelwa ukuthi unegciwane.
Le nkinga yobuntu ingumphumela oqondile wempi esekelwa yiNtshonalanga, eholwa yiSaudi kanye nomkhankaso wokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu ngokungakhethi ohlasele iYemen kusukela ngoMashi 2015, kanye nokuvinjwa komoya, umhlaba nolwandle okuvimbela izimpahla nosizo oludingeka kakhulu ukuthi lufinyelele. abantu baseYemen.
Izinhlangano ze-UN kanye nezinhlangano ezisiza abantu zibhale kaningi ukuthi asikho isisombululo sezempi esingaba khona kulengxabano ekhona eYemen. Okuwukuphela kwento eyenziwa ukuhlinzekwa kwezikhali njalo eYemen ukwandisa ubutha, okwandisa ukuhlupheka nenani labafile.
ICongress idinga ukwethula kabusha i-War Powers Resolution ngaphansi kwabaphathi be-Biden. ICongress idinga ukumisa unomphela ukuthunyelwa kwezikhali eSaudi Arabia nase-United Arab Emirates. Nakhu Indawo lapho ungatshela khona iCongress ukuthi.
Kunesinye isizathu sokungabaza ubuqotho beCongress ekuthatheni izinyathelo zokuqeda impi e-Yemen lapho kungase kuthembele kuTrump ukuyiphikisa. ICongress ayiqedi noma yiziphi ezinye izimpi ezingapheli. Impi yase-Afghanistan iyaqhubeka, abaphathi beBiden behlongoza isivumelwano sokuthula futhi bavumele ezinye izizwe ngisho neNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene (okucishe kuyinkomba yokuhlonipha umthetho kubantu abasafaka unswinyo oluqalwe nguTrump ngokumelene ne-International INkantolo Yobugebengu), kodwa hhayi ukususa amasosha ase-US noma amasosha.
Ukube iCongress ibicabanga ukuthi iBiden isiyiqedile impi yaseYemen, iyivikela esimeni esinzima sokuhlukanisa izindebe zayo futhi ithi “yebo,” ingaqhubekela phambili nokuqeda impi yase-Afghanistan, noma leyo eseSyria. Ngenkathi uTrump ethumela imicibisholo e-Iraq ngendlela yomphakathi, okungenani bekunelungu leCongress elizimisele ukwethula umthetho wokuwenqabela. Hhayi okweBiden. Imicibisholo yakhe, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iqhumisa buthule abantu abakude noma ihambisane nokukhululwa kwabezindaba, ayibangeli isenzo seCongressional.
Indawo eyodwa yabezindaba uthi abathuthukayo bathola "ukuhlukumezeka." Ngingase ngiqale nokuba nomunyu. Kepha abantu entshonalanga namaphakathi ne-Asia bayafa, futhi lokho ngikubheka njengokubaluleke kakhulu. Kunekhokhasi entsha kuCongress yase-US eyenziwe ngamalungu afuna ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwezempi. Nansi inombolo yamalungu ayo azibophezele ekuphikisaneni nanoma yimuphi umthetho oxhasa impi ngenani elingaphezulu kuka-90% kuleveli yamanje: ziro. Akekho noyedwa kubo ozinikele ekusebenziseni amandla empeleni.
Izijeziso ezibulalayo ziyaqhubeka. Imizamo emikhulu yokugwema ukuthula ne-Iran iya phambili. Ukuphikiswa kweRussia neChina kukhuphuka kakhulu. Futhi kuthiwa ngiyacasuka. U-Antsy?
Nakhu konke engikucelayo mayelana nephrojekthi yokugcina isithembiso sokuqeda izimpi ezingapheli: Qeda impi engapheli. Yilokho kuphela. Khetha eyodwa bese uyiqeda. Manje.
Izimpendulo ze-4
QEDA ukubandakanyeka kwe-US empini yaseSaudi-US eYemen!
ICongress kumele igcwale izikhalazo ezivela kwizakhamizi ezifuna ukuphela kokusekelwa kwe-US kwempi yaseSaudi eYemen.
ukuqhuma kwamabhomu e-Saudi eYemen kuyicala elibhekiswe esintwini. kungani ungahlukanisi indawo?
Njengomuntu waseNew Zealand owabamba iqhaza emzabalazweni kazwelonke wokusungula indawo engenamandla enuzi ezweni lami, ngifuna ukurekhoda lapha ithemba lami elivuselelwe lenqubekelaphambili yamazwe ngamazwe ngenxa yesibonelo esikhuthazayo esabekwa World Beyond War.
Ngawo-1980s, ngangiyilungu elikhuthele le-NZ Nuclear Free Zone Committee. Kulezi zinsuku ngisaqhubeka nokubhalela incwadi ye-Anti-Bases Campaign (ABC) ethi “Peace Researcher” kanye nethi “Foreign Control Watchdog” yeCAFCA. Ngokudabukisayo sesibuyile ekubambeni umbuso waseMelika, kodwa kuhle ukuxhumana nabantu baseMelika abasebenzela umhlaba onokuthula, nobambisana.
Sidinga ukwakha ukunyakaza kwabantu bamazwe ngamazwe okufinyeleleka ngendlela engakaze ibonwe kanye namandla ukuvimbela ukucekelwa phansi kwesizwe okusongayo. E-Aotearoa/New Zealand namuhla World Beyond War unommeleli omuhle kakhulu, uLiz Remmerswaal, osebenza eduze nawo wonke umbutho wokuthula/omelene nezikhali zenuzi.
Asiqhubeke nokusebenzisana sikhulise lo mnyakazo. Lokho uDavid Swanson akushoyo kuyabonakala!
