NguJoseph Essertier, World BEYOND War, May 24, 2023

Essertier kuyinto Umhleli we World BEYOND WarIsahluko saseJapan.

Namuhla iHiroshima “iwumuzi wokuthula” kubantu abaningi. Phakathi kwalabo abayizakhamuzi zaseHiroshima, kukhona abantu (abanye babo hibakusha noma “izisulu zebhomu”) ezihlale zenza imizamo yokuxwayisa umhlaba ngengozi yezikhali zenuzi, zikhuthaza ukubuyisana nezisulu zoMbuso WaseJapane (1868–1947), futhi zihlakulela ukubekezelelana nokuphila kwamasiko ahlukahlukene. Ngalowo mqondo, idolobha lokuthula ngempela. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, amashumi amaningi eminyaka, leli dolobha laliyisikhungo semisebenzi yezempi yoMbuso, lidlala indima enkulu eMpini Yokuqala YamaSino-Japanese (1894-95), iMpi YaseRussia-Japanese (1904-05), kanye neMpi Yezwe YaseJapane. IziMpi Zomhlaba ezimbili. Ngamanye amazwi, nayo inomlando omnyama njengedolobha lempi.

Kodwa ngo-Agasti 6 1945, uMongameli uHarry Truman, owabiza leli dolobha ngokuthi "isizinda sezempi,” yawisa ibhomu lenuzi kubantu lapho, iningi labo okwakuyizakhamuzi. Kwaqala kanjalo lokho okungabizwa ngokuthi “inkathi yosongo lwempi yenuzi” yezilwane. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, emashumini ambalwa eminyaka, nezinye izifundazwe zigxumela emgudwini wezikhali zenuzi, safika eqophelweni lokuthuthuka kwethu kokuziphatha lapho sibhekene nosongo lobusika benuzi kuso sonke isintu. Lelo bhomu lokuqala lanikezwa igama elidabukisayo nelinobuthi elithi “Little Boy.” Lalincane ngokwezindinganiso zanamuhla, kodwa lashintsha abantu abaningi abahle baba izinto ezibukeka njengezilo, ngokushesha laletha ubuhlungu obumangalisayo emakhulwini ezinkulungwane, lacekela phansi idolobha ngokushesha, futhi lagcina selibulale abantu abangaphezu kwezinkulungwane eziyikhulu phakathi nezinyanga ezimbalwa. .

Lokho kwenzeka ekupheleni kweMpi YasePacific (1941-45) lapho kwaqashelwa ukuthi iZizwe Ezihlangene (noma “Ama-Allies”) zase zinqobile kakade. IJalimane lobuNazi lalicele umaluju emasontweni amaningi ngaphambili (ngo-May 1945), ngakho uHulumeni Wobukhosi wayeselahlekelwe umngane wawo oyinhloko, futhi isimo sasingenathemba kubo. Iningi lezindawo zasemadolobheni zaseJapan zase zifafazwe futhi izwe lalisesimweni isimo sokuphelelwa ithemba.

Amazwe amaningi aba namadlelandawonye ne-US ngokusebenzisa “Isimemezelo SeNhlangano Yezizwe” sika-1942. Lesi kwakuyisivumelwano esikhulu esasungula ngokusemthethweni ama-Allies of World War II futhi esaba yisisekelo seNhlangano Yezizwe. Lesi sivumelwano sase sisayinwe ohulumeni bezizwe abangama-47 ekupheleni kweMpi, futhi bonke labo hulumeni babezibophezele ekusebenziseni izinsiza zabo zempi nezomnotho ukuze banqobe uMbuso. Abasayine lesi Simemezelo bazibophezele ukulwa kuze kube khona a "ukunqoba okuphelele" phezu kwamandla e-Axis. (Lokhu kwahunyushwa ngokuthi “ukuzinikela okungenamibandela.” Lokho kwakusho ukuthi uhlangothi lweZizwe Ezihlangene lwalungeke lwamukele noma yiziphi izimfuno. Endabeni yaseJapane, babengeke bavume ngisho nokufuna ukuba kugcinwe isikhungo sombusi, ngakho lokhu kwenza kwaba nzima. ukuqeda iMpi Kodwa ngemva kokuqhumisa ngamabhomu eHiroshima naseNagasaki, i-US yavumela iJapane ukuthi igcine umbusi noma kunjalo).

Ukuphindisela okungaphezulu? Ubugebengu bempi? Ukubulala ngokweqile? Zama ukusebenzisa abantu esikhundleni samagundane aselabhu? I-Sadism? Kunezindlela ezehlukene zokuchaza ubugebengu obenziwa uTruman nabanye abantu baseMelika, kodwa kungaba nzima ukububiza ngokuthi “obubuntu” noma ukholwe insumansumane eyatshelwa abantu baseMelika besizukulwane sami ukuthi kwenziwa ukuze kusindiswe izimpilo zabantu baseMelika. futhi IsiJapane.

Manje, ngokudabukisayo, iDolobha laseHiroshima seliphinde laqala ukusongela ukuphila kwabantu ngaphandle nangaphakathi eJapane, ngaphansi kwengcindezi evela eWashington naseTokyo. Kunezikhungo zezempi ezingaphezu kwezimbalwa eduze kweDolobha lase-Hiroshima, okuhlanganisa ne-US Marine Corps Air Station. Iwakuni, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Kure Base (Kure Kichi), Ibutho Lase-United States Kure Pier 6 (Camp Kure US Army Ammunition Depot), kanye neDepho Yezinhlamvu ye-Akizuki. Kwengezwe ebukhoneni balezi zikhungo, i ukwakhiwa okusha kwezempi okwamenyezelwa ngo-December kwandisa amathuba okuthi empeleni zizosetshenziselwa ukubulala abanye abantu eMpumalanga Asia. Lokhu kufanele kwenze abantu bacabange ukuthi iHiroshima iqhubeka kanjani nokuba idolobha lezimpi zombili futhi ukuthula, kwabenzi bobubi futhi yezisulu.

Futhi kwaba njalo, ngo-19^th kaMeyi kulo “Dolobha Lokuthula,” phakathi kokusebenza okusebenzayo, emazingeni aphansi, ukulwela ukuthula ngakolunye uhlangothi, kanye nokubambisana okuqinile kwezikhulu nezinjongo zempi zaseWashington neTokyo ngakolunye, inunu ehlome ngezikhali eziningi ebizwa ngokuthi “i-G7” yancipha. edolobheni, kubangela izinkinga ezakhamuzini zaseHiroshima. Amakhanda esifunda ngasinye se-G7 alawula ingalo eyodwa yesilo. Impela uTrudeau noZelensky balawula izingalo ezincane nezimfushane kakhulu. Ngokumangazayo, impilo yalesi silo, esiphusha umhlaba enhlekeleleni yenuzi ngokungabuyeli emuva Minsk Izivumelwano, ibhekwa njengeyigugu kangangokuthi iJapane yathumela amashumi ezinkulungwane zamaphoyisa avamile nezinye izinhlobo zezisebenzi zezokuphepha, kuhlanganise namaphoyisa odweshu, amaphoyisa ezokuphepha, amaphoyisa omshoshaphansi (Kancane kancane noma “Amaphoyisa Okuphepha Komphakathi”), abasebenzi bezokwelapha nabanye abasekelayo. Noma ubani e-Hiroshima ngesikhathi seNgqungquthela ye-G7 (19 kuya ku-21 Meyi) wayebona ukuthi lolu "uhlobo olungenazindleko" lwendaba. Uma izindleko zokusebenza kwamaphoyisa eNgqungqutheleni ye-G7 e-Cornwall, eNgilandi ngoJuni 2021 e-Cornwall, e-England zazingu-£70,000,000, umuntu angacabanga nje ukuthi yimalini yen esetshenziswe emsebenzini wamaphoyisa futhi ngokujwayelekile, isingatha lo mcimbi.

Sengike ngathinta ukucabanga ngemuva kwesinqumo sesahluko saseJapan esithi World BEYOND War ukuphikisa i-G7"Isimemo Sokuvakashela e-Hiroshima futhi Umele Ukuthula ngesikhathi seNgqungquthela ye-G7,” kodwa ngaphandle kwalokho okusobala, ukuthi “imfundiso yokuvinjelwa kwezikhali zenuzi iyisithembiso esingamanga esenze umhlaba waba yindawo eyingozi kakhulu” kanye neqiniso lokuthi i-G7 inamazwe ethu acebile asendleleni yokuya empini ne-nuke-armed. E-Russia, kunesinye isizathu engisizwile sishiwo kaningi ngabantu abavela ezinhlanganweni ezahlukahlukene eHiroshima phakathi nezinsuku ezi-3 zeNgqungquthela, okuhlanganisa namaqembu ezakhamuzi nezinyunyana zabasebenzi: Futhi lokho kuwukungabi nabulungisa okukhulu kwalawa mazwe ayengamakoloni, ikakhulukazi i-US. , esebenzisa uMuzi Wokuthula, indawo lapho hibakusha kanye nenzalo ka hibakusha phila, kwe ingqungquthela yempi lokho kungase kuholele empini yenuzi.

Ngemizwa enjengalena, abangaphezu kweshumi nambili bethu banquma ukuzama okuthile okuhlukile. NgoMgqibelo zingama-20^th,saqasha ama-“Peacecles” (amabhayisikili+ okuthula), sifaka izingqwembe emizimbeni yethu noma emabhayisikilini, sizungeza iDolobha lase-Hiroshima, sima ngezikhathi ezithile ukuze sinikeze umlayezo wethu ngomlomo ngombhobho, futhi sihlanganisa amamashi okuthula. Sasingazi ngempela ukuthi kuzokwenzeka kanjani, noma sizokwazi yini ukwenza uhlelo lwethu phakathi kwamaphoyisa amaningi, kodwa ekugcineni, kwaba yindlela ejabulisayo yokubhikisha. Amabhayisikili asinikeze ukuhamba okwengeziwe futhi asivumela ukuthi sihlanganise indawo enkulu ngesikhathi esifushane.

Isithombe esingenhla sibonisa amabhayisikili ethu ngemva kokupaka epaki lomphakathi futhi sithathe ikhefu lesidlo sasemini.

Izimpawu ezilenga emahlombe ethu ezinophawu lwe-WBW zifundeka kanje “G7, Sayina manje! iNuclear Weapon Ban Treaty,” kokubili ngesiJapane nesiNgisi. Lowo kwakuwumyalezo oyinhloko isahluko sethu esanquma ngawo, phakathi namasonto ambalwa ezingxoxo, ukuba siwudlulise. Abanye nabanye bahlanganyela nathi, futhi izimpawu zabo ezimhlophe zithi, “Misa Umhlangano Wempi” ngesiJapane nokuthi “No G7, No war” ngesiNgisi.

Mina (u-Essertier) nginikezwe ithuba lokukhuluma ngaphambi kokuqala kwemashi eyodwa ntambama. Iqembu engangikhulume nalo lalinamalungu amaningi ezinyunyana zabasebenzi.

Nakhu engakusho: “Sihlose umhlaba ongenayo impi. Inhlangano yethu yaqala e-US Igama leqembu lethu lithi 'World BEYOND War.' Igama lami nginguJoseph Essertier. Ngingowase America. Ngijabulela ukukwazi. Ngalesi silo esabisayo i-G7 size e-Japan, sithemba kanye nawe, ukuvikela i-Japan kuyo. Njengoba wazi, iningi lamalungu e-G7 nawo angamalungu e-NATO. Ama-G7 anomhobholo, njengoba nazi. Bafuna ukwenza abacebile bacebe nakakhulu futhi benze abanamandla babe namandla nakakhulu, futhi bakhiphe abancishwe amathuba—ukubashiya. Abasebenzi badale yonke le ngcebo esizungezile, kodwa naphezu kwalokho, i-G7 izama ukusilahla. World BEYOND War ufuna ukwenza kube nokwenzeka ukuba bonke abantu emhlabeni bahlale ngokuthula. UBiden usezokwenza into engamukelekile neze, akunjalo? Usezothumela ama-F-16 e-Ukraine. I-NATO ibilokhu isongela iRussia. Kukhona abantu abalungile eRussia, akunjalo? Kukhona abantu abalungile eRussia futhi kukhona abantu ababi e-Ukraine. Kunezinhlobo ezahlukene zabantu. Kodwa wonke umuntu unelungelo lokuphila. Kukhona ithuba langempela manje lempi yenuzi. Nsuku zonke kufana neCuban Missile Crisis. Zonke izinsuku manje zifana naleso sikhathi, njengalelo sonto elilodwa, noma lawo masonto amabili, kudala. Kufanele siyimise ngokushesha le mpi. Zonke izinsuku zibalulekile. Futhi sifuna iJapan isayine i-TPNW ngaso leso sikhathi. "

Ngemva kokuphothula izinkulumo ezihlukahlukene, saphuma sayomasha emgwaqweni nezinye izinhlangano.

Besisemuva kwemashi amaphoyisa esilandela ngemuva.

Ngibone izimpambanomgwaqo ezimbalwa ezinezimoto zamatroli ezinjengalezi e-Hiroshima. I-Peacecles yakhelwe kahle imigwaqo emagebhugebhu, ngakho ukugibela unqamule amathrekhi bekungeyona inkinga. Kwakunomswakama ngandlela-thile futhi mhlawumbe kungama-degree Celsius angu-30 (noma u-86 degrees Fahrenheit) ngesikhathi esithile ntambama, ngakho sahlaba ikhefu esitolo esine-air-conditioner.

Amabhayisikili asinika ikhono lokuya lapho abantu bekhona futhi ubhasikidi ongaphambili ebhayisikilini wasivumela ukuba sikhulume ngombhobho ophathwayo. Ingoma yethu enkulu yayisithi “Ayikho impi! Awekho ama-nukes! Awasekho ama-G7!”

Ngasekupheleni kosuku, saba nesikhathi esengeziwe futhi sasingekude nesifunda sase-Ujina, lapho amanxusa obudlova e-G7 ayehlangene khona ngesikhathi esisodwa. Abanye bethu kungenzeka ukuthi "ethinteke ngokujulile” kodwa abaningi bethu lacasulwa ukuthi “abaholi bezombangazwe basemazweni ake alwa” babuthana endaweni “ehlobene ngokujulile nomlando wempi yaseJapane.”

Samiswa kule ndawo, okwakuyindawo yokuhlola abantu ababeya e-Ujina. Kimina, imibuzo eminingi evela emaphoyiseni yayibonakala ingenazithelo ngokuqondene neqembu lethu, ngakho ngemva kwemizuzu emi-5 noma ngaphezulu, ngasho okuthile ngomphumela wokuthi, “KULUNGILE, ayikho inkululeko yokukhuluma kulesi sifunda. Ngiyabona." Futhi ngaphenduka ngabhekisa amabombo eSiteshini saseHiroshima, esasingaphesheya, ukuze ngithumele amanye amalungu ethu. Abantu abakwazanga ukusebenzisa ilungelo labo lenkululeko yokukhuluma, futhi nakuba amanye amalungu ethu ekhulume namaphoyisa isikhathi eside, awakwazanga ukusinikeza incazelo yesisekelo esingokomthetho sokuvimbela amalungu ethu ukuba aqhubeke kulo mgwaqo womphakathi futhi aveze imibono yethu. imibono ngeNgqungquthela esifundeni sase-Ujina.

Ngenhlanhla yethu, iqembu lethu leshumi nambili lalinjalo hhayi ngizungezwe amaphoyisa aqine njengababhikishi kulokhu Ividiyo yeForbes, kodwa ngisho nasemibhikishweni engangihlanganyela kuyo, ngezinye izikhathi kwakuzwakala sengathi miningi kakhulu futhi isondelene kakhulu.

Sathola ukunakwa okuningi kubantu emigwaqweni, kuhlanganise nezintatheli. Intando yeningiManje! kufakwe ividiyo evele kuyo Satoko Norimatsu, intatheli edumile evame ukufaka isandla kulo mdlalo I-Asia-Pacific Journal: I-Japan Focus futhi ubani ogcina iwebhusayithi “Ifilosofi Yokuthula” elenza kutholakale imibhalo eminingi ebalulekile yesiJapane ehlobene nokuthula ngesiNgisi, kanjalo nangokuphambene. (UStoko uvela ngo-18:31 kusiqeshana). Uvame ukuphawula ngezindaba zaseJapan ekhasini lakhe le-Twitter, okungukuthi, @PeacePhilosophy.

UMgqibelo bekuwusuku olushisa kakhulu, mhlawumbe ama-degree Celsius angu-30 futhi kunomswakama ngandlela-thile, ngakho ngajabulela ukuzwa komoya ebusweni bami lapho sigibele ndawonye. Zisibiza u-1,500 yen ngayinye ngosuku. Izikhafu eziluhlaza ezifanekisela ukuthula sakwazi ukuzithola ngemali engaphansi kwe-yen eyi-1,000 ngasinye.

Sekukonke, bekuwusuku oluhle. Saba nenhlanhla yokuthi alizange line. Abantu abaningi esahlangana nabo babenokubambisana, njengabesifazane ababili abasiphathele isibhengezo sethu ukuze sihambe namabhayisikili ethu, futhi abantu abaningi esahlangana nabo basincoma ngombono othi “Inqola Yokuthula Yebhayisikili”. Ngincoma ukuthi abantu base-Japan nakwamanye amazwe bazame lokhu isikhathi esithile. Sicela uthuthukise lo mbono, nokho ungasebenza endaweni yangakini, futhi wabelane ngemicabango yakho futhi usitshele mayelana nolwazi lwakho lapha World BEYOND War.
