Wazibandakanya kanjani nawe World BEYOND War (WBW)?
Ngithole World BEYOND War ngokusesha ku-inthanethi. Ngokusebenzisa i-Z Magazine, i-Counterpunch, namanye amajenali namawebhusayithi athuthukayo, ngase ngivele ngingumlandeli wabanye babakhi bokuthula abakhulu amagama abo, izihloko, izithombe, namavidiyo avela World BEYOND War amakhasi ewebhu, futhi ngase ngivele ngijoyine amakhulukhulu emibhikisho yasemgwaqweni phakathi neminyaka eyi-15 e-Japan, ngakho-ke ulwazi olubhaliwe lwangidonsa amehlo. Ikakhulukazi, ngahlabeka umxhwele ngokukhethekile ngezithombe ezisezingeni eliphezulu kanye nomoya ojabulisayo. World BEYOND War lalifana negobolondo lasolwandle elihle engalithola ogwini lolwandle. Ngakho ngi ubhalisile futhi wazinikela ngaso leso sikhathi.
Yiziphi izinhlobo zezenzo zokuzithandela ozisiza ngazo?
Ngihlala eNagoya, eJapane, okuyidolobha lesine ngobukhulu eJapane. Njalo ngoMgqibelo lapha ekhoneni lomgwaqo ophithizelayo endaweni yezitolo ezinkulu, kuba nombhikisho omelene nomgwaqo Izisekelo zase-US e-Okinawa. Imvula, iqhwa, imimoya enamandla, isimo sezulu esishisayo nesinomswakama—akukho lutho oluvimba la mazwi okuthula azinikele. Ngivame ukubajoyina ngeMigqibelo. Ngihileleke futhi emizamweni yokuqeda iMpi YaseKorea; ukubhala, ukufunda, nokufundisa mayelana nokushushumbiswa kwezempi kocansi koMbuso WaseJapane nase-US; ukuphikisa ukuphika komlando okuphathelene nonya olwenziwa abantu baseMelika namaJapane; futhi kulo nyaka we-NPT (Isivumelwano Sokungabhebhetheki Kwezikhali Zenuzi), sokuqeda izikhali zenuzi.
Ngihola imihlangano yesahluko izikhathi ezimbalwa ngonyaka. Iqembu elincane labantu liye langisiza ukuba ngihlele imisebenzi, kuhlanganise nezingxoxo zezingxoxo namaphathi ukuze kuxoxwe ngezindaba zempi, imizamo yokufundisa, nomsebenzi wokwakha ukuthula kanye nokufuna kwethu kabusha impi. Usuku lwe-Armistice. Sibe nemicimbi emibili okuhloswe ngayo ukwenza usuku lwe-Armistice lube usuku lokukhumbula umsebenzi abantu abangaphambi kwethu abawenzile ukuze kube nokuthula, njengengxenye yomgomo jikelele wokudala isiko lokuthula. Onyakeni we-100 we-Armistice Day, ngimeme i- Umthwebuli wezithombe odumile uKenji Higuchi uya eNagoya ukuyonikeza inkulumo. Wanikeza inkulumo mayelana nokusebenzisa kweJapane igesi enobuthi kanye nomlando ovamile waleso sikhali sokucekela phansi abantu abaningi. Ithimba lakhe labasizi libonise izithombe zakhe ehholo elikhulu lezinkulumo.
Iyiphi incomo yakho ephezulu kumuntu ofuna ukuhileleka ne-WBW?
Engikuncomayo wukuthi ngiqale ngibuze imibuzo ngikhulume nabantu asebeyingxenye yezinhlangano zokuthula. Futhi-ke kufanele ufunde kabanzi mayelana nezindaba zamazwe ngamazwe kanye nemibhalo yezazi-mlando eziqhubekayo, njengo-Howard Zinn, ukuze ubone lokho okuye kwazanywa esikhathini esidlule, ukuzicabangela ngokwakho ngalokho okuye kwasebenza nalokho okungasebenzanga. Inkinga yempi a inkinga entsha uma kuqhathaniswa esikhathini eside lapho i-Homo sapiens izulazule emhlabeni, futhi indlela yokumisa impi ayikapheleliswa. Akukho okuqoshwe etsheni. Umphakathi, isiko, ubuchwepheshe, njll. kushintsha njalo, ngakho-ke izinselelo esibhekene nazo zishintsha njalo. Futhi sidinga imibono nezenzo zakho ukuze sonke sithole indlela eya phambili, eya “ngalé” kwesikhungo nomkhuba wempi.
Yini ekugcina uphefumulelwe ukusekela ushintsho?
Okungigcina ngikhuthazekile amazwi nezenzo zabanye abashisekeli bempi namuhla kanye nezinkumbulo zezinye izishoshovu. Njengoba besho, isibindi siyathelelana. U-Howard Zinn, phakathi kwezinye izazi-mlando eziningi, wakufakazela lokhu ngocwaningo lwakhe ngabantu nezinhlangano ezakha inqubekelaphambili yomphakathi. Yena ngokwakhe waba i-ejenti yobudlova bombuso lapho elwa ne-fascism phakathi ne-WWII. Kodwa kamuva wamelana nempi. Wabelana ngalokho akubonayo nokuhlakanipha ayekuqoqile. (Bheka, ngokwesibonelo, incwadi yakhe Ibhomu eshicilelwe yiCity Lights ngo-2010). Thina malungu e-Homo sapiens kumele sifunde emaphutheni ethu. Manje sibhekene nezinsongo ezinkulu ezingamawele zempi yenuzi kanye nokufudumala kwembulunga yonke. Ukusinda kwethu kusengozini. Ikusasa ngezinye izikhathi libonakala lifiphele impela, kodwa kuhlale kukhona abantu abalungile kunoma iyiphi inhlangano enkulu abamela ingqondo, inkululeko, ukuthula, nobulungisa. Amazwi abo nesibonelo sabo yikona okungiqinisayo.
