nguMedea Benjamin noNicolas JS Davies

Okungenani amazwe angama-70 asayine obizweni lwangoMashi 23 lukaNobhala-Jikelele we-UN u-Antonio Guterres lokuthola i- ukumiswa komhlaba wonke ngesikhathi sobhubhane lwe-Covid-19. Njengemidlalo engabalulekile yezamabhizinisi kanye nezibukeli, impi iwubukhazikhazi athi uNobhala Jikelele kumele siyilawule okwesikhashana. Ngemuva kokuthi abaholi base-US betshele abantu baseMelika iminyaka eminingi ukuthi impi iwububi obudingekayo noma ngisho nesixazululo sezinkinga zethu eziningi, uMnu Guterres usikhumbuza ukuthi impi empeleni iwububi obungabalulekile kakhulu kanye nokuzitika umhlaba ongeke ukwazi ukukukhokhela—ikakhulukazi. ngesikhathi sobhadane.

 UNobhala-Jikelele we-UN kanye ne-European Union nabo bobabili bacele ukuthi kumiswe umhlangano impi yezomnotho ukuthi i-US ihola kwamanye amazwe ngokusebenzisa unswinyo oluphoqelelayo oluhlangene. Amazwe angaphansi kohlangothi olulodwa lwe-US unswinyo ahlanganisa iCuba, Iran, Venezuela, Nicaragua, North Korea, Russia, Sudan, Syria kanye neZimbabwe.  

 Esibuyekezweni sakhe sango-Ephreli 3, uGuterres ukhombisile ukuthi ubeluthatha ngokungathi sína ucingo lwakhe lokumisa ukudubula, egcizelela ukuthi ukupheliswa kwangempela, hhayi nje izimemezelo zokuzizwa ujabule. "... kunebanga elikhulu phakathi kwezimemezelo nezenzo," kusho uGuterres. Isicelo sakhe sasekuqaleni sokuthi "kubeke izingxabano ekuvaleni" kubize ngokusobala amaqembu alwayo yonke indawo ukuthi "athule izibhamu, amise izibhamu, aqede ukuhlasela kwezindiza," hhayi nje ukusho ukuthi angathanda, noma azocubungula uma izitha zabo zikwenza kuqala.

Kepha amazwe angama-23 kwangama-53 okuqala asayina isimemezelo sokumisa ukudubula kwe-UN asenawo amasosha e-Afghanistan njengengxenye Umfelandawonye we-NATO ukulwa namaTaliban. Ngabe wonke amazwe angama-23 aseyekile ukudubula manje? Ukubeka inyama emathanjeni ohlelo lwe-UN, amazwe azimisele ngokuzibophezela kufanele atshele umhlaba wonke ukuthi akwenzayo ukuze aphile ngokuvumelana nakho.

E-Afghanistan, izingxoxo zokuthula phakathi kwe-US, uhulumeni wase-Afghan osekelwa yi-US kanye neTaliban bezilokhu ziqhubeka. Iminyaka emibili. Kodwa izingxoxo azizange zivimbe i-US ekuqhumeni amabhomu e-Afghanistan ngaphezu kwanoma yisiphi esinye isikhathi kusukela ekuhlaselweni kwe-US ngo-2001. I-US yehlile okungenani. Ama-15,560 amabhomu kanye nemicibisholo e-Afghanistan kusukela ngoJanuwari 2018, ngokunyuka okubikezelwayo emazingeni asevele esabekayo Izisulu zase-Afghan. 

Akuzange kuncishiswe ukuqhuma kwamabhomu e-US ngoJanuwari noma ngoFebhuwari 2020, futhi uMnu Guterres uthe esihlokweni sakhe sika-Ephreli 3 ukuthi ukulwa e-Afghanistan kunyuke ngoMashi, naphezu komhla zingama-29 kuFebhuwari. isivumelwano sokuthula phakathi kwe-US neTaliban.

 Bese, ngo-Ephreli 8, abaxoxisana beTaliban waphuma wezingxoxo nohulumeni wase-Afghan mayelana nokungaboni ngaso linye mayelana nokukhululwa kweziboshwa okubili okubizelwe esivumelwaneni se-US-Afghan. Ngakho-ke kusazobonakala ukuthi isivumelwano sokuthula noma isicelo sikaMnu Guterres sokuthi kuqedwe impi kuzoholela ekumisweni kwangempela kokuhlasela kwezindiza zase-US nezinye izimpi e-Afghanistan. Ukumiswa kwangempela kokudubula okwenziwe ngamalungu angama-23 omfelandawonye we-NATO asayine ngokungananazi ukuthi kumiswe ukulwa kwe-UN kungaba usizo olukhulu.

 Ukusabela ngokobuzwe esimemezelweni sikaMnu. Guterres sokuyeka ukulwa ne-United States, izwe elihlasela kakhulu emhlabeni, kube ukukushaya indiva. I-US National Security Council (NSC) yenza kanjalo bhala kabusha i-tweet kusuka kuMnu. Guterres mayelana nokuqeda ukulwa, wengeza, "I-United States inethemba lokuthi zonke izinhlangano e-Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yemen nakwezinye izindawo zizolalela ubizo luka-@antonioguterres. Manje yisikhathi sokuthula nokubambisana.” 

Kepha i-tweet ye-NSC ayishongo ukuthi i-US izobamba iqhaza ekumisweni komlilo, empeleni iphambukise isimemo se-UN kuwo wonke amanye amaqembu alwayo. I-NSC ayizange ikhulume nge-UN noma esikhundleni sikaMnu Guterres njengoNobhala-Jikelele we-UN, njengokungathi wethula uhlelo lwakhe njengomuntu wangasese onenhloso enhle esikhundleni sokuba yinhloko yenhlangano yezobuzwe ehamba phambili emhlabeni. Ngaleso sikhathi, akukho Mnyango Wezwe noma iPentagon eke yaphendula esidlangalaleni ngohlelo lwe-UN lokuqeda ukulwa.

Ngakho-ke, ngokumangazayo, i-UN yenza inqubekelaphambili eyengeziwe ngokuyeka ukulwa emazweni lapho i-US ingeyona enye yezimpi ezihamba phambili. Umfelandawonye oholwa yiSaudi Arabia ohlasela iYemen umemezele uhlangothi olulodwa amasonto amabili ukumiswa komlilo kusukela ngomhlaka-9 kuMbasa ukuze kubekwe inkundla yezingxoxo zokuthula eziphelele. Zombili izinhlangothi ziye zasekela esidlangalaleni isimemo se-UN sokuyeka ukulwa, kodwa uhulumeni waseHouthi eYemen ngeke avume ukuze kumiswe ukulwa kuze kube yilapho amaSaudis empeleni emisa ukuhlasela kwawo eYemen.

 Uma ukumiswa kwe-UN kubambezeleka eYemen, kuzovimbela lo bhubhane ukuthi ungahlangani impi futhi ubunzima besintu esezibulale amakhulu ezinkulungwane zabantu. Kodwa uhulumeni wase-US uzosabela kanjani ekuhambeni kokuthula eYemen okusongela imakethe yase-US enenzuzo kakhulu ukuthengiswa kwezikhali kwamanye amazwe eSaudi Arabia?

ESiriya, i Izakhamizi ze-103 Okubikwe ukuthi kwabulawa ngoMashi kwakuyisibalo esiphansi kakhulu sabantu abashona njalo ngenyanga eminyakeni eminingi, njengoba kubonakala sengathi kusaqhubeka isivumelwano sokuqeda impi phakathi kweRussia neTurkey e-Idlib. UGeir Pedersen, oyisithunywa esikhethekile se-UN eSyria, uzama ukwandisa lokhu kuze kube sekumisweni kwezwe lonke phakathi kwazo zonke izinhlangothi ezilwayo, kuhlanganise ne-United States.

E-Libya, womabili amaqembu amakhulu alwayo, uhulumeni ohlonishwa yi-UN e-Tripoli kanye namabutho kajenene wamavukelambuso u-Khalifa Haftar, asamukele esidlangalaleni isimemo se-UN sokuthi kuqedwe ukulwa, kodwa ukulwa. kuphela kwaba kubi ngo-Mashi. 

EPhilippines, Uhulumeni kaRodrigo Duterte kanye noMaoist Ibutho Labantu Abasha, okuwuphiko oluhlomile lweQembu LamaKhomanisi lasePhilippines, bavumile ukuthi kumiswe ukulwa empini yabo yombango esineminyaka engu-50 ikhona. Kwenye impi yombango yeminyaka engu-50, i-National Liberation Army yaseColombia (ELN) isabele obizweni lwe-UN lokuqeda ukulwa ukunqamuka ngomlilo kwezwe ngenyanga kaMbasa, ethi inethemba lokuthi ingaholela ezingxoxweni zokuthula ezihlala njalo nohulumeni.

 E-Cameroon, lapho abahlukanisi abambalwa abakhuluma isiNgisi sebeneminyaka emithathu belwela ukwakha izwe elizimele elibizwa ngokuthi i-Ambazonia, iqembu labavukeli, iSocadef, selimemezele ukuthi ukumiswa kwamasonto amabili, kodwa iqembu lamavukelambuso i-Ambazonia Defence Force (ADF) kanye nohulumeni abakaze bajoyine ukumiswa kokudubula.

 I-UN isebenza kanzima ukunxenxa abantu nohulumeni yonke indawo ukuthi bathathe ikhefu empini, umsebenzi ongabalulekile nobulalayo wesintu. Kepha uma singayiyeka impi ngesikhathi sobhubhane, kungani singenakuvele siyiyeke ngokuphelele? Iliphi izwe elicekeleke phansi ongathanda ukuthi i-US iqale ukulwa futhi ibulale futhi uma ubhubhane seluphelile? E-Afghanistan? Yemen? eSomalia? Noma ungancamela impi entsha yase-US ngokumelene ne-Iran, iVenezuela noma i-Ambazonia?

 Sicabanga ukuthi sinombono ongcono. Masigcizelele ukuthi uhulumeni wase-US umise ukuhlasela kwezindiza, izikhali kanye nokuhlasela kwasebusuku e-Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq, Syria kanye naseNtshonalanga Afrika, futhi weseke ukumiswa kwezikhali eYemen, Libya nasemhlabeni jikelele. Lapho-ke, lapho ubhubhane seluphelile, masigcizelele ukuthi i-US ihloniphe ukwenqatshelwa kwe-UN Charter ngokumelene nokusongelwa noma ukusetshenziswa kwendluzula, abaholi abahlakaniphile baseMelika ababhala futhi basayina ngo-1945, futhi baqale ukuphila ngokuthula nabo bonke omakhelwane bethu emhlabeni jikelele. I-US ayizange izame lokho esikhathini eside kakhulu, kodwa mhlawumbe umqondo wokuthi isikhathi sakhe sesifikile ekugcineni.
