Bengiyingxenye yengxoxo ngoLwesibili ebibandakanya ukungaboni ngasolinye okukhulu kunanoma yikuphi okwavezwa engxoxweni yabaholi beDemokhrasi ngalowo kusihlwa. Iqembu lezishoshovu zokuthula lahlangana nomongameli, ilungu lebhodi, abanye omongameli abangamakhosi, kanye nomuntu ophakeme wesikhungo esibizwa nge-US Institute of Peace, isikhungo sikahulumeni wase-US esisebenzisa amashumi ezigidi zamaRandi womphakathi minyaka yonke ngezinto ezihlobene nokubi. ukuthula (kufaka phakathi ukukhuthaza izimpi) kepha kusamele kuphikiswe impi eyodwa yase-US emlandweni wayo weminyaka ye-30.
(Izithombe zikaDavid Swanson noNancy Lindborg ngu-Alli McCracken.)
Ngaphandle kuka-Anderson Cooper we-CNN lapho ukuze asikhiphele kude nezingqinamba kube ukubizwa ngamagama nokungasho lutho, sijuba singene entweni leyo. Igebe phakathi kwesiko lezishoshovu zokuthula nalelo le-US Institute of "Peace" (USIP) likhulu kakhulu.
Sasidale futhi sathatha ithuba ukuletha isikhalazo okufanele usisayine uma ungakakwenzi, inxusa i-USIP ukuthi isuse ebhodini layo izikhumbuzo ezivelele zempi namalungu amabhodi ezinkampani zezikhali. Isikhalazo sibuye sincome imibono eminingi yamaphrojekthi awusizo i-USIP engasebenza kuwo. Ngibhale nge-blog ngalokhu lapha futhi lapha.
Sikhombise uLwesibili esakhiweni esisha kanokusho sase-USIP esiseduze neSikhumbuzo saseLincoln. Okuqoshwe emabula ngamagama abaxhasi be-USIP, kusukela kuLokheed Martin kuye ezansi ezinkampanini ezinkulu zezikhali nezinkampani zikawoyela.
Emhlanganweni ovela enhlanganweni yokuthula kwakunguMedea Benjamin, uKevin Zeese, uMichaela Anang, u-Alli McCracken, kanye nami. Abamele i-USIP kwakunguMongameli uNancy Lindborg, iPhini Likamongameli Oyibamba eMpumalanga Ephakathi kanye ne-Africa Centre Manal Omar, Umqondisi We-Peace Funders Collaborative Steve Riskin, Ilungu Lebhodi, uJoseph Eldridge, kanye Nenqubomgomo Yabantu Abadala uMaria Stephan. Bathathe imizuzu ye-90 noma ngaphezulu ukukhuluma nathi kodwa kwabonakala sengathi abanasifiso sokuhlangabezana nanoma yisiphi isicelo sethu.
Babesho ukuthi iBhodi bekungeyona into ethikameza noma yini abafuna ukuyenza, ngakho-ke akunangqondo ngokushintsha kwamalungu ebhodi. Bathe bebevele benze amanye amaphrojekthi esihlongozile (futhi sibheke ngabomvu ukubona leyo mininingwane), kepha bebengenandaba nokulandela noma ikanjani kubona.
Lapho siphakamisa ukuthi bakhuthaze ukulwa nempi yase-US nganoma yiziphi izindlela, baphendula ngezizathu ezimbalwa zokungenzi kanjalo. Okokuqala, bathi uma benza noma yini engathandisi iCongress, uxhaso lwabo luzoma. Lokho kungenzeka kuyiqiniso. Okwesibili, bathi abakwazi ukuvikela noma ukuphikisa noma yini. Kepha lokho akulona iqiniso. Baphikise indawo engalindeli ukundiza eSyria, ukuguqulwa kombuso eSyria, abahlomisi nabaqeqeshi ababulali e-Iraq naseSyria, futhi (ngokuthula) ngokugcina isivumelwano senuzi ne-Iran. Bafakaza phambi kweCongress nakwabezindaba ngaso sonke isikhathi, begqugquzela izinto ezisele nesokudla. Angikhathali noma ngabe babiza imisebenzi enjalo ngokuthile ngaphandle kokugqugquzela, ngithanda nje ukubabona benza okuningi kwalokho abakwenzile e-Iran nangaphansi kwalokho abakwenze eSyria. Futhi ngokomthetho bakhululeke ngokuphelele ukukhulumela noma ngomthetho inqobo nje uma ilungu leCongress libacela.
Ngenkathi ngiqala ukuxhumana ngesicelo sethu ne-USIP babeveze intshisekelo yabo yokuthi kungenzeka basebenze koyedwa noma ngaphezulu kwamaphrojekthi esiwaphakamisile, mhlawumbe kubandakanya nemibiko esiyiphakamisayo esicelweni abasibhalayo. Lapho ngibuza ngaleyo mibiko yombiko ngoLwesibili, impendulo yaphendula ngokuthi babengenabo abasebenzi. Banabasebenzi abangamakhulu, bathi, kepha bonke bamatasa. Benze izinkulungwane zemixhaso, bathi, kepha abakwazanga ukuyenzela noma yini efana naleyo.
Okungasiza ekuchazeni izaba eziningi esinikezwe zona ngesinye isici engingakasithinti. I-USIP ibonakala ikholelwa empini. Umongameli we-USIP uNancy Lindborg ube nempendulo eyinqaba lapho ngiphakamisa ukuthi ukumema uSenator Tom Cotton ukuba eze azokhuluma e-USIP ngesidingo sempi ende e-Afghanistan kwakuyinkinga. Uthe i-USIP kumele ijabulise iCongress. Kulungile. Wabe esengeza ukuthi ukholelwa ukuthi kunesikhala sokungavumelani ngokuthi sizokwenza kanjani ukuthula e-Afghanistan, nokuthi kunezindlela ezingaphezu kweyodwa zokuthula. Vele bengingacabangi ukuthi "thina" sizokwenza ukuthula e-Afghanistan, bengifuna ukuthi "thina" siphume lapho futhi sivumele abantu base-Afghanistan baqale ukusebenza kuleyo nkinga. Kepha ngibuze uLindborg ukuthi enye yezindlela zakhe zokuthula ngabe yimpi yini. Wangicela ukuba ngichaze impi. Ngathi impi kwakuwukusetshenziswa kwamasosha aseMelika ukubulala abantu. Uthe “amasosha angalwa” angaba yimpendulo. (Ngiyabona ukuthi kukho konke ukungalwi kwabo, abantu basanda kusha baze bafa esibhedlela.)
ISyria yakhipha umbono ofanayo. Ngenkathi uLindborg ethi ukukhushulwa kwempi yase-USIP eSyria konke bekungumsebenzi ongekho emthethweni wesisebenzi esisodwa, uchaze impi yaseSyria ngendlela eyodwa futhi wabuza ukuthi yini engenziwa ngomashiqela ononya njengo-Assad ebulala abantu “ngomgqomo amabhomu, ”ekhala ngokungabi bikho“ kwezenzo. ” Ukholelwe ukuthi ukuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu esibhedlela e-Afghanistan kuzokwenza uMengameli u-Obama abe madolonzima nangaphezulu ukusebenzisa amandla. (Uma lokhu kungafuni, ngingakuzonda ukubona ukulangazelela!)
Ngakho-ke i-USIP yenzani uma ingakwenzi ukuphikisana kwempi? Uma ingeke iphikisane nokusetshenziswa kwempi? Uma kungakhuthazi ushintsho ezimbonini ezinokuthula? Uma kungekho lutho oluzobeka engcupheni uxhaso lwayo, yimuphi umsebenzi omuhle oluvikelayo? ULindborg uthe i-USIP ichithe iminyaka eyishumi yokuqala idala umkhakha wezifundo zokuthula ngokwakha ikharikhulamu yayo. Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi lokho ku-anachronistic futhi kunehaba, kepha kungasiza ekuchazeni ukuntuleka kokuphikisana kwempi ezinhlelweni zezifundo zokuthula.
Kusukela lapho, i-USIP isebenze ezinhlotsheni zezinto ezifundiswe ezinhlelweni zezifundo zokuthula ngokuxhasa amaqembu aphansi emazweni anezinkinga. Ngandlela thile amazwe anezinkinga athola ukunakwa okukhulu avame ukuba yilawo afana neSyria uhulumeni wase-US afuna ukuwachitha, kunalawo afana neBahrain uhulumeni wase-US afuna ukuwaphakamisa. Noma kunjalo, kunemisebenzi eminingi emihle exhaswa ngemali. Kungumsebenzi nje ongaphikisi ngqo impi yase-US. Futhi ngoba i-US ingumhlinzeki wezikhali eziphezulu emhlabeni kanye nomtshalizimali ophezulu futhi osebenzisa impi emhlabeni, futhi ngoba akunakwenzeka ukwakha ukuthula ngaphansi kwamabhomu ase-US, lo msebenzi ulinganiselwe kakhulu.
Izithiyo i-USIP ingaphansi kwazo noma ikholelwa ukuthi ingaphansi noma ayikhathali ukuthi ingaphansi (futhi abanentshisekelo yokwakha “uMnyango Wokuthula” kufanele banake) yilezo ezidalwa yiCongress neWhite House enenkohlakalo nezempi. I-USIP yasho ngokusobala emhlanganweni wethu ukuthi inkinga yezimpande ukhetho olukhohlakele. Kepha lapho ingxenye ethile kahulumeni yenza okuthile okulwa nempi kunesinye isigaba, njengokuxoxisana ngesivumelwano ne-Iran, i-USIP ingadlala indima. Ngakho-ke indima yethu, mhlawumbe, ukubadonsela ekudlaleni leyo ndima ngangokunokwenzeka, futhi kude nolaka olunjengokugqugquzela impi eSyria (okuzwakala sengathi bangashiya kakhulu amalungu abo ebhodi manje).
Lapho sixoxa ngamalungu ebhodi le-USIP futhi singafiki ndawo, saphakamisa ibhodi elelulekayo elingafaka phakathi izishoshovu zokuthula. Lokho akuyanga ndawo. Ngakho-ke siphakamise ukuthi bakhe ukuxhumana nabenhlangano yokuthula. USIP uwuthandile lowo mbono. Ngakho-ke, lungela ukuxhumana neSikhungo. Sicela uqale ngokusayina isicelo.
Izimpendulo ze-11
Sidinga ukuguqula inqubomgomo yase-US yakwamanye amazwe ekhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kwamasosha anamandla, ngokuvamile njengenketho yokuqala.
