World BEYOND War ibambe i-webinar ngoLwesine ukuze ikhulume ngomthelela wamasosha ase-US eGuam.
I-webinar, “Ubukoloni Nokungcola: Ukwenza Imephu Ukungabi Nabulungisa Kwezempi Yase-US Kubantu Base-Chamorro Yase-Guam,” iyingxenye yomkhankaso weqembu othi “Close Bases”. Izikhulumi kwakunguSasha Davis kanye noLeilani Rania Ganser, abakhulume ngomthelela omubi wezikhungo zamasosha ase-US eGuam.
World BEYOND War iyinhlangano yomhlaba wonke engenalo udlame yokuqeda impi futhi isungule ukuthula okunobulungiswa nokusimeme, ngokusho kwewebhusayithi yayo.
UDavis wenze ucwaningo ngemithelela yezisekelo zamasosha ase-US ePacific okuhlanganisa iGuam, i-Okinawa neHawaii.
U-Ganser uyisishoshovu se-CHAmoru esikhule e-United States futhi ungumxhumanisi wezibonelelo kanye nomthelela e-Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.
UGanser uthe umndeni wakhe, njengabanye abaningi, uthintwe amasosha ngenxa yezinkinga zezempilo kanye ne-diaspora, okubangele ukuthi yena nomndeni wakhe babe kude neGuam.
Waqala ukucwaninga i-Guam eminyakeni engaphezudlwana kwe-10 edlule lapho iba yindawo enkulu yokugxila kwesu lezempi lase-US. Ngenxa yokuthi iGuam iyikoloni laseMelika amasosha abona ukuthi isiqhingi siyindawo ephephile kunezinye izindawo okungamazwe azimele, esho.
Amasosha aseMelika awakwazanga ukwenza ngokuthanda kwawo ezindaweni ezifana nePhilippines naseJapan, ngakho abona iGuam njengendawo ephephile yokwakha ngenxa yesimo sayo sobukoloni, kusho uDavis.
Kodwa abantu abaningi eGuam bacasuka kakhulu futhi basebenzela ukuvimba ezinye zezinhlelo zamasosha ase-US eGuam, okuholele ekutheni uPågat angasetshenziswa njengoba bekuhleliwe ekuqaleni uhla lokudubula, esho. Kuphinde kwaholela ekwehleni kokwakhiwa.
Umthelela wezempi
UGanser uthe amasosha ayaqhubeka nokuziqeqesha njengoba iGuam isavaliwe ngenxa yobhubhane lwe-COVID-19.
UGanger uthe umehluko phakathi kwamasosha nomphakathi wendawo uyabonakala nasendleleni engakanani imali esetshenziswe ukunxeshezelwa kwezimpi. Wabelana ngokuthi ugogo wakhe, owasinda empini, wanikezwa kanjani ama- $ 10,000 ngokuhlupheka kwakhe ngesikhathi sempi, kodwa amasosha achitha cishe ama- $ 16,000 ukuqasha umuntu omusha.
UDavis uthe ubukhosi kanye namasosha kuyahambisana njengoba amasosha aseMelika engafuni ukunikeza ubukhosi bezepolitiki ezindaweni ezikhona. Uthe amasosha awacabangi ngokuphepha kweziqhingi zasePacific, kodwa acabanga wona kanye nezwe lase-US.
Izibonelo zakamuva, ze-USS Theodore Roosevelt eletha amakhulukhulu amacala e-COV,ID-19 kanye ne-Rim of the Pacific Exercise esahleliwe e-Hawaii, zibonisa ukuthi amasosha awacabangi ngokuphepha kwabantu lapho, kusho uDavis.
Uthe amasosha ngeke alethe izinkulungwane zabantu ezweni laseMelika ngesikhathi sodlame oluqhubekayo kodwa kuhle ukukwenza ePacific.
Izisekelo azizona omakhelwane abalungile futhi ziletha umsindo, imithelela yemvelo futhi akumnandi ukuba khona, esho.
