Yize abantu baseMelika begxile ebudlelwaneni be-ACA kanye noTrump neRussia, uTrump ubematasa ekhulisa ubukhona bamasosha aseMelika ngaphakathi kweSyria.
nguSenator Chris Murphy, Huffington Post, Mashi 25, i-2017.
Ngokuthula, ngenkathi abantu baseMelika bebegxile emdlalweni oqhubekayo wokuchithwa kwe-Affordable Care Act kanye nezambulo ezintsha mayelana nobudlelwano bomkhankaso kaTrump neRussia, uMongameli uTrump ubematasa enweba ubukhona bamasosha aseMelika ngaphakathi kweSyria. Futhi cishe akekho eWashington oke waqaphela. Abantu baseMelika banelungelo lokwazi ukuthi uTrump uhlelani nokuthi lokhu kuzoholela yini ekuthathweni kweSyria ngendlela yase-Iraq iminyaka eminingi ezayo.
Ngaphandle kwesaziso esisemthethweni, uTrump uthumele amasosha amasha aseMelika angama-500 eSyria, ngokusobala ukuthi azobamba iqhaza ekuhlaselweni okuzayo kwenqaba ye-ISIS yaseRaqqa. Imibiko yezindaba iphakamisa ukuthi lokhu kuthunyelwa kungase kube ingqikithi yeqhwa, abanye bathi uhlelo luwukuba amakhulu amasosha aseMelika engezwe empini emasontweni ezayo. Akekho owaziyo ukuthi mangaki amasosha angaphakathi eSyria manje, ngoba abaphathi bazame kakhulu ukugcina imfihlo yokwakha.
Lokhu kuthunyelwa kubangela ingozi enkulu, engase ibe yinhlekelele e-United States kanye nekusasa leSyria kanye neMpumalanga Ephakathi. UKhongolose awukwazi ukuthula ngalolu daba. Sekuyisikhathi eside ngiphikisana nokubeka amasosha ase-US phansi eSyria-ngaphikisana nombono ngesikhathi sokuphatha kuka-Obama futhi ngiyawuphikisa manje, ngoba ngikholelwa ukuthi simiselwe ukuphinda amaphutha eMpi yase-Iraq uma sizama ukuphoqa ukuzinza kwezombusazwe kalula. ngombhobho wesibhamu. Nginganxusa ozakwethu abangagxilanga embuzweni wokuba khona kwamasosha aseMelika eSyria ukuthi, okungenani, bafune ukuthi abaphathi baphendule imibuzo emibili eyisisekelo ngaphambi kokusayina imali yokuxhasa lokhu kunyuka okuyingozi.
Okokuqala, uyini umgomo wethu futhi liyini isu lethu lokuphuma?
Incazelo yomphakathi ngokunyuka kwamasosha kube wukulungiselela ukuhlaselwa kukaRaqqa. Ukuthatha i-Raqqa kuyinhloso edingekayo nefiselekayo isikhathi eside. Inkinga ilele ekwenzeni amasosha ase-US abe yingxenye ebalulekile yamasosha ahlaselayo, okungenzeka ukuthi kuzodinga ukuthi nathi sihlale futhi sibe ingxenye ebalulekile yebutho. Yilokhu okwenzeka e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan, futhi angisiboni isizathu sokuthi kungani singeke sibhekane nogibe olufanayo eSyria. Kodwa uma lokhu kungelona uhlelo lokuphatha, kufanele baphumele obala ngalokhu. Kufanele baqinisekise iCongress kanye nomphakathi waseMelika ukuthi siseSyria kuze kube yilapho uRaqqa ewa, futhi akasekho.
Kuneminye imibuzo ebalulekile okufanele uyibuze. Muva nje, uTrump uthumele iqeqebana labasebenzi beSpecial Forces opharetha eManbij ukuze bagcine ukuthula phakathi kwamasosha aseKurdish nabaseTurkey alwela ukulawula lesi sigaba esikude enyakatho yeSyria. Lokhu kuphakamisa ukuthi umsebenzi wethu wezempi ubanzi kakhulu—futhi uyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu—kunokusiza nje ukuthatha kabusha i-Raqqa.
Ochwepheshe abaningi baseSyria bayavuma ukuthi uma uRaqqa esethathwe ku-ISIS, ukulwa kuyaqala. Umncintiswano ube usuqala phakathi kwamabutho ahlukahlukene abamba iqhaza (iSaudi, i-Iranian, isiRashiya, isiTurkey, isiKurdish) mayelana nokuthi ubani ophethe idolobha ekugcineni. Ngabe amabutho ase-US azohamba ngaleso sikhathi, noma ingabe uhlelo lukaTrump lucabanga ukuthi sizohlala ukuze silamule ukulawulwa kwesikhathi esizayo kwezingxenye ezinkulu zenkundla yempi? Lokhu kungaba isibuko sase-Iraq, lapho izinkulungwane zabantu baseMelika bafa khona bezama ukuthola ukuxazululwa kwama-akhawunti wangemva kweSaddam phakathi kwamaSunni, amaShia namaKurds. Futhi kungaphumela ekuchithekeni kwegazi okungako kwaseMelika.
Okwesibili, ingabe sinalo isu lezepolitiki noma isu lezempi nje?
Ngalo uLwesine oludlule, ngijoyine amanye amalungu eKomidi LeSigele Lase-US Sobudlelwano Nangaphandle ukuze sidle isidlo sasemini noNobhala Wezwe u-Rex Tillerson. Ngajabula ngokuthi u-Tillerson wayezimisele ukuvula iminyango yoMnyango WezoMbuso eqenjini lamaSenator angamalungu amabili, futhi ingxoxo yethu yayithembekile futhi ingagwegwesi. Emhlanganweni, u-Tillerson ubonise ukwethembeka okubabazekayo ekuvumeni ukuthi isu lezempi lalingaphambi kakhulu kwesu lezokuxhumana eSyria.
Kodwa lokhu empeleni kwakuwukubukelwa phansi okuphawulekayo. Ngaphandle uma kukhona uhlelo oluyimfihlo uTrump alugcina kumaSenator ase-US kanye noNobhala wakhe Wezwe, alukho nhlobo uhlelo lokuthi ubani olawula i-post-ISIS Raqqa, noma i-post-Assad Syria.
Izithiyo ohlelweni lwezepolitiki ngekusasa likaRaqqa ziyanda ngesonto. Abaholi bezempi baseMelika bafuna ukuthembela kumaKurdish nama-Arab ukuthi baphinde bathathe iRaqqa, kodwa banethemba lokuthi amaKurds azolishiya idolobha ngemuva kokulahlekelwa ngamakhulu noma izinkulungwane zamasosha abo kulokhu kuhlasela. Ngisho noma le nganekwane ingaba ngokoqobo, izofika ngentengo - amaKurds angalindela okuthile njengembuyiselo ngomzamo wawo. Futhi namuhla, asazi ukuthi singasikhipha kanjani lesi sinyathelo esibili ngaphandle kokuba nokuthula onakaliswe amaTurkey, ahlala emelene nobudlova ekunikezeni indawo yamaKurds. Ukwengeza izinkinga, amabutho asekelwa yi-Russian kanye ne-Iranian, ahlezi ngaphandle kwase-Raqqa namuhla, ngeke avumele ukuthi uhulumeni wama-Arab osekelwa yi-US noma wama-Arab/Kurdish afakwe ngokuthula ngaphakathi kwedolobha. Bazofuna ucezu lwesenzo, futhi asinalo uhlelo oluthembekile lokubafaka namuhla.
Ngaphandle kohlelo lwezepolitiki lwekusasa likaRaqqa, uhlelo lwezempi alunamsebenzi. Yebo, ukukhipha i-ISIS e-Raqqa kuwukunqoba futhi ngokwakho, kodwa uma siqala uchungechunge lwezenzakalo ezimane zandise ukungqubuzana okubanzi, i-ISIS izozithatha kalula izingcezu futhi isebenzise isiyaluyalu esiqhubekayo ukuze iphinde ihlangane futhi iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde ibuye. Bekufanele sifunde e-Iraq, Afghanistan naseLibya ukuthi ukunqoba kwezempi ngaphandle kwecebo lalokho okulandelayo akukona neze ukunqoba. Kodwa ngendlela engakholakali, sibonakala sisemaphethelweni okwenza leli phutha futhi, ngenxa yentshiseko (eqondakalayo) yokuyisa impi esitheni esinonya.
Ngifuna i-ISIS ihambe. Ngifuna zibhujiswe. Kodwa ngifuna kwenziwe ngendlela efanele. Angifuni ukuthi abantu baseMelika bafe futhi izigidigidi zamaRandi zimoshwe empini eyenza amaphutha afanayo nokuhlasela okuyinhlekelele kweMelika e-Iraq. Futhi angifuni neze ukuthi impi iqale ngasese, ngaphandle kokuthi uKhongolose abone ukuthi iyaqala. ICongress idinga ukungena emdlalweni futhi iqale ukubuza imibuzo – ngaphambi kokuthi kushaye isikhathi sokushicilela.
