Enye yezinyathelo ezinkulu nezinempikiswano umongameli wase-United States, uDonald Trump, asanda kuzithatha kube ukuvumela i-CIA ukuthi yenze ukuhlaselwa kwe-drone kwabasolwa ngamasosha, isilinganiso esiphikisana naleso esathathwa kuze kube manje ngumongameli wangaphambilini, uBarack Obama, esikhawulela indima yezempi yeCIA.
Okwamanje, iqiniso ukuthi i-White House, i-CIA uqobo noma uMnyango Wezokuvikela abakhiphile noma yiluphi uhlobo lwesitatimende ukuphendula lolu lwazi olushicilelwe ngu Wall Street Journal icaphuna njengeziphathimandla zemithombo yezokuphatha uqobo.
UTrump unika amandla i-CIA ukuthi yenze ukuhlasela ngama-drones ahlomile lapho ibona kufanelekile.
Kumele kukhunjulwe ukuthi i-United States yiyona kanye eyayiyizwe lokuqala ukwethula ukuhlasela kusetshenziswa ama-drones ahlome ngemicibisholo ogama lawo kwakucatshangwa ukuthi ngamasosha. Lokhu kuhlaselwa kwenzeka ngemuva nje kwezigameko ezibuhlungu zangoSepthemba 11, 2001 eNew York naseWashington. Ngemva kwalokho, U-Obama uzame ukuthonya imithethonqubo yomhlaba yokusetshenziswa kweziteleka ze-drone njengoba ezinye izizwe ziqala ukwenza izinhlelo zazo.
Ngokusho kwabagxeki balesi silinganiso, ukuhlaselwa kusetshenziswa lezi zinhlobo zezikhali zidala amasosha amaningi kunababulali. Ngalesi sitatimende bacaphuna, ngokwesibonelo, ukusabalala kwezinhlangano zama-jihadist noma ukuhlaselwa ngamabutho alolu hlobo lwenhlangano emhlabeni jikelele, ukuxoshwa okuhlaselwa nge-drone kungandisa le nkinga.
