"Abaphathi bakaTrump bakhuluma ngesenzo samasosha aseMelika esingahle sibuyele emuva."
Kusukela ekuqaleni, i-US Africa Command (AFRICOM) ilande ngokungafanele ubuwula bama-Afrika nabanye abakhathaza izwekazi. Ukuphendula izinsolo zokuthi i-US isebenzisa impi yayo ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ama-Afrika ayabusa kakhulu e-Afrika, i-AFROM iye yagcizelela ngenkani ukuthi izinhloso zayo kuphela ukweluleka kanye nokweseka amabutho “abalingani” bakahulumeni wase-Afrika kanye nokuhlinzeka ngosizo kubantu. Kepha siyalazi iqiniso.
Umkhuzi wamasosha aseMelika uDonald Bolduc ngehlazo utshele i-NBC News ukuthi: "IMelika ayilwi e-Afrika. Kepha abalingani bayo bakhona. ”Kepha nesosha lingakuqaphela lokho. Owayekade eyiGreen Beret Derek Gannon uthe: "[Ukubandakanyeka kwamasosha e-US e-Afrika] kubizwa ngokuthi yi-Low Intensity Irregular Warfare, kepha ubuchwepheshe abuzange buthathwe njengempi yiPentagon. Kepha impi iyimpi kimi. ”
I-US igcina izindawo ezimbili e-Afrika ezifaneleke njengezisekelo zamasosha. Kodwa-ke, ngokwe-NBC i-US yenyusa inani leminyakazo yezempi esekwe kwinxusa elibizwa ngokuthi “AmaHhovisi Okulondelana Kwezokuphepha” lisuka kwabayisishiyagalolunye e2008 liya kwi36 e2016. Abaphenyi bathi amasosha ase-US manje anebukhona emazweni okungenani ase-49 ase-Afrika, kungenzeka ukuthi alwe nobushokobezi. Noma ukulwa nobuphekula bekuyinjongo okuyiyona enkulu wezempi.com Uveze ukuthi: "I-US ithole eminye yemizamo yayo yokulwa nezishoshovu ezivinjelwe abanye ohulumeni base-Afrika, okuyimikhosi yabo yezokuphepha abangahlomele ukwethula umkhankaso wokuzingela abezempi baseMelika nokho bangabaze ukwamukela usizo lwaseMelika ngenxa yokwesaba. abaseMelika bazodlula ukwemukela kwabo futhi banyathele ubukhosi babo. ”
"Abaphenyi bathi amasosha aseMelika manje asebekhona emazweni ase-49 okungenani e-Afrika, kungenzeka alwe nobuphekula."
Lapho kubhekene nezinsolo zase-Afrika, i-US isabona izinzuzo ezinhle zokunweba amatende e-AFROM kuzo zonke izingxenye zezwekazi. Kwesinye isehlakalo i-Obama Administration yathumela amabutho e-100 eNiger e-2013 ukuyokwakha isizinda se-drone endaweni lapho i-US yayivele inikezela ngosizo lokukhuphula i-agency eFrance. NgoJuni walo nyaka, isibalo samasosha aseMelika eNiger sase sikhule saba okungenani i-645, futhi manje kungenzeka kube namasosha amaningi njenge-800 US kulelozwe. Ngenkathi ukusungulwa kwamasosha kungakholelwa ukuthi ukuzibandakanya okuqhubekayo kwalolu hlobo kuyasiza kwizintshisekelo zase-US, kukhona izindleko. Ngasekuqaleni kwale nyanga kubulawe amasosha amane aseMelika eNiger emlilweni ovuthayo nezinsolo zamaphekula. Ngokusho okungenani i-akhawunti eyodwa:
"Ngo-Okthoba 5, cishe amabutho e-30 Nigerien ayehamba ngamaloli angenazo izibhamu namasosha ayi-12 Amasosha Amasosha aseMelika, phakathi kwawo amabutho akhethekile eGreen Beret. Leli phoyisa laliqhamuka emhlanganweni nabaholi bezizwe futhi langena phakathi komngcele ophakathi komngcele ophakathi kweNiger nomakhelwane wayo odlange impi. Amasosha agibele izithuthuthu ahlasela ngamaphoyisa ehamba ngamabhomu agqitshiwe nangezibhamu ezinkulu, kwashona abayisishiyagalombili: abane baseNigeriens, abathathu beGreen Berets, nelinye isosha laseMelika isidumbu salo esingatholakalanga kwaze kwaphela izinsuku ezimbili kuhlaselwe. ”
Okucacile emilayezweni ye-AFROM ukuthi amasosha ase-US asiza amasosha ase-Afrika ukuvikela abantu base-Afrika abangenakuzisiza ebukhosini “obungabandlululi” obungafuneki. Kodwa-ke, umbiko we-CNN omayelana nokuqamekela eNiger uthi: “Amanye amasosha abehambele umhlangano nabaholi bendawo athi asola ukuthi abantu bakule ndawo bayabambezela ukuhamba kwabo, bayama futhi babagcina belindile, okuyizenzo ezenze ukuthi abanye babo basole ukuthi kungenzeka abantu bendawo babe nesandla ekuqamekeleni… ”
"NgoJuni walo nyaka, isibalo samasosha aseMelika eNiger sase sikhule saba okungenani i-645, kanti njengamanje kungenzeka kube namasosha amaningi njenge-800 US kulelozwe."
Abaphathi bamasosha abangenelela kwamanye amazwe kufanele bazi ukuthi lapho abantu bendawo abangeyona impi sebethathe udaba lwanoma yiliphi iqembu - kungakhathalekile izinhloso zeqembu - ukunqoba kwezempi kwabangenele akunathemba. Yize kunjalo, "[m] izikhulu zombili zatshela i-CNN ukuthi abaphathi bakaTrump bakhuluma nohulumeni waseNigeri mayelana nesenzo samasosha aseMelika esiseduze sokuhlasela iqembu lamasosha elabulala amasosha aseMelika."
Ngaphansi komthetho wase-US, iCongress inethuba lokubopha noma ikuphi ukubandakanyeka kwezempi okungahlonishwa nguTrump. I-War Powers Resolution ihlinzeka ukuthi ngaphansi kwezimo ezithile uMongameli angathumela amasosha ezimweni zokulwa, kepha kunezidingo zokubika ngezikhathi ezithile zikaMongameli kanye nemikhawulo yesikhathi yokuthi amabutho angahlala isikhathi esingakanani ezimpikiswaneni ngaphandle kokumenyezelwa ngokusemthethweni kwempi noma i-DRM ethile. ukugunyazwa. Noma kunjalo, iCongress inomlando wokwehluleka ukunqanda ukungenelela kwamasosha ase-US nakwamanye amazwe, futhi akufanele silindele ukuthi bakwenze manje. Ngaphandle kokubulawa kwabantu eNiger, i-Afrika ayithathwa njengezingqondo zeCongress noma umphakathi obanzi njengendawo lapho iMelika isempini.
I-AFRICOM isethembe amandla ayo okuqhakambisa ubukhona bempi yase-US e-Afrika ngenkathi indiza ngezansi kwe-radar ngenxa yendima yayo okuthiwa iyelulekile. Uhlelo lwayo kube ukuthi lusebenzise amasosha ase-Afrika abambekayo ekulweni kwangempela ngaphandle kokukhathazeka ngokulimala kwabantu baseMelika kanye nezimpikiswano kanye nokubuyela emuva. Kepha ukufa eNiger kufanekisela isifufula esingalindelekanga.
"ICongress inomlando wokwehluleka ukunqanda ukungenelela kwamasosha aseMelika nakwamanye amazwe."
Yize kungaba iqiniso ukuthi kulo mcimbi, ukushona kwabantu eNiger kwehle ngokushesha ekugxilwe kwabezindaba, futhi ngenxa yalokho umphakathi wase-US unesizathu esizwakalayo sokukholelwa ukuthi kunokufa okuningana okuzayo. Abantu base-Afrika abayisiwula, kepha izikhulu zamasosha ase-US uma zingakunaki ukuthi izakhamizi zase-Afrika ezithobekile kakhulu ziyakucasukela ukubakhona kwezisebenzi zaseMelika emiphakathini yazo. Lababantu abathobekile kungenzeka baswele ukuthi bangakhombisa kanjani ubutha babo ngempumelelo, kepha ukubulawa kwakamuva nje eNiger ngosizo lwezakhamuzi okusolwa ubufakazi bokuthi kungenzeka kube khona amabutho afuna ukuxhaphaza intukuthelo yase-Afrika nokudideka ngokubakhona kwamasosha ase-US.
Uma inani lokufa kwamasosha ase-US liyaqhubeka ukukhuphuka bese i-AFROM ilahlekelwa yimininingwane ephansi, akumele kube yisimanga ePentagon mayelana nezinkukhu zayo eza ekhaya zizokhula.
