Uhlanganyele kanjani nesishoshovu sokulwa nempi futhi World BEYOND War (WBW)?
Okokuqala ngithanda isishoshovu sesikhathi sokuthula kunesikhathi esingesihle sokulwa nempi.

Izizathu zokuthi ngihlanganyele ekulweleni ukuthula zavela kokuhlangenwe nakho kwami ​​kwangaphambilini njengomlondolozi wokuthula wezempi weZizwe Ezihlangene kuhlangene nomsebenzi wami njengomqaphi wamazwe omhlaba wonke owake wahlangabezana nezingxabano ezinkulu futhi nocwaningo lwami lwezemfundo lwangikholisa ukuthi kunesidingo esiphuthumayo ukugqugquzela ukuthula emhlabeni wonke njengenye indlela yezimpi. Ngaqala ukuzibandakanya ekulweleni ukuthula ekuqaleni ngo-20 ngokushesha nje lapho ngibona ukuthi uHulumeni wase-Ireland uthathe isinqumo sokulungiselela impi eholwa yi-US e-Afghanistan ngokuvumela amasosha ase-US ukuthi adlule esikhumulweni sezindiza saseShannon elibangise e-Afghanistan ngokuphula umthetho ocacile ukungathathi hlangothi.

Ngazibandakanya neWBW ngoba ngabona ngomsebenzi omuhle owawenziwa yiWBW ngokuzibandakanya kweWBW ezingqungqutheleni ezimbili zokuthula zamazwe omhlaba e-Ireland, kubalwa neNgqungquthela Yomhlaba Wonke Yokuqala Emelene Nezisekelo Zezempi zase-US / NATO ezazibanjwe ngoNovemba 2018, kanye neNgqungquthela eyayihlelwe World BEYOND War - Izindlela Zokuthula eLimerick 2019.

Yiziphi izinhlobo zezenzo zokuzithandela ozisiza ngazo?
Ngaphezu kokusebenza ne-WBW, ngingunobhala wamazwe omhlaba no Pana, i-Irish Peace and Neutrality Alliance, ilungu elisungula le- Shannonwatch, Ilungu loMkhandlu Wokuthula Emhlabeni, uSihlalo weVeterans For Peace Ireland, kanye nokuzibandakanya namaqembu amaningi ezemvelo.

Ngiphinde ngahlela futhi ngabamba iqhaza emicimbini yokubhikisha esikhumulweni sezindiza eShannon kule minyaka engama-20 edlule lapho ngiboshwe khona izikhathi ezingaba yishumi nambili futhi ngashushiswa ezikhathini eziyisithupha kuze kube manje, kodwa ngokungafani nalutho ngikhishwe ngamacala kuzo zonke izikhathi kuze kube manje.

Ngo-2004 ngathatha icala lomthethosisekelo eNkantolo eNkulu ebhekene noHulumeni wase-Ireland ngokusetshenziswa kwamasosha esikhumulo sezindiza iShannon, kwathi ngenkathi ngilahlekelwa yingxenye yaleli cala, iNkantolo eNkulu yakhipha isinqumo sokuthi uHulumeni wase-Ireland wephula imithetho yamasiko yamazwe omhlaba engathathi hlangothi.

Ngike ngaya ezingqungqutheleni zokuthula zomhlaba wonke futhi ngivakashele ukuthula emazweni alandelayo: i-USA, iRussia, iSyria, iPalestine, iSweden, i-Iceland, iDenmark, iSwitzerland, i-United Kingdom, iBelgium, iJalimane neTurkey.

Iyiphi incomo yakho ephezulu kumuntu ofuna ukuhileleka ne-WBW?
Lesi sincomo sisebenza kunoma ngubani ofuna ukuzibandakanya neqembu lezishoshovu zokuthula: ungavimbeli, ubambe iqhaza, futhi wenze noma yini ongakwenza noma nini lapho ungakhuthaza ukuthula.

Yini ekugcina uphefumulelwe ukusekela ushintsho?
Ngesikhathi ngisebenza njengomgcini wokuthula weZizwe Ezihlangene, nanjengomqaphi wokhetho wamazwe omhlaba jikelele, ngikubonile ukubhujiswa kwezimpi nezingxabano mathupha, futhi ngahlangana nezisulu eziningi kakhulu zempi, namalungu omndeni wabantu ababulawa ezimpini. Ocwaningweni lwami lwezemfundo futhi, ngithole ukuthi kuze kufinyelele esigidini sezingane eziye zashona ngaphesheya kwe-Middle East ngenxa yezizathu ezihlobene nempi kusukela ngempi ye-First Gulf ngo-1991. La maqiniso awangishiyi lutho ngaphandle kokwenza konke engingakwenza ukusiza ukuqeda izimpi nokukhuthaza ukuthula.

Ubhubhane lwe-coronavirus likuthinte kanjani amandla akho ku-activism?
I-coronavirus ayikhawulanga ukusebenza kwami ​​kakhulu njengoba ngibambe iqhaza ezimweni eziningi zomthetho ezixhunywe ezenzweni zokuthula esikhumulweni sezindiza eShannon futhi bengisebenzisa imihlangano yohlobo lwe-Zoom ukuze ngibambe iqhaza emisebenzini yokuthula. Ngithathe indawo yokuqapha okuqondile kwezindiza zamasosha ase-US ezihamba ngesikhumulo sezindiza saseShannon ngisebenzisa i-elekthronikhi futhi ngisebenzisa izinhlelo zokulandelela izindiza kwi-inthanethi.
