- Ua make ʻo General-star star he ʻehā mau makahiki a ua hala ke kākau ʻōlelo o ka mokuʻāina ʻo US ʻo Colin Powell ma muli o nā pilikia mai COVID-19.
- Ke mālama ʻia nei ʻo Colin Powell ma ka Walter Reed National Medical Center.
- Ua loaʻa ʻo Colin Powell me ka myeloma he nui.
ʻO Colin Powell, ka Repubalika kaulana, ʻo ia ke kanaka ʻAmelika ʻAmelika mua i lawelawe ma ke ʻano US Kakauolelo o ka Aupuni, ua make i ka makahiki 84, ma muli o nā pilikia mai COVID-19.
ʻO 35 makahiki makahiki o ka pūʻali koa US, i kū i ke kūlana o nā hōkū hōkū ʻehā ma mua o ke komo ʻana i ka politika, ua mālama ʻia i ka Walter Reed National Medical Center, i kona wā i hala aku ai, ua hoʻolaha kona ʻohana i kēia lā ma kahi pou ma kāna ʻaoʻao Facebook.
"Ua lilo kā mākou kāne kupaianaha a aloha, makuakāne, kupuna kāne a me kahi ʻAmelika nui," wahi a lākou, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua hoʻopakele ʻia ʻo ia e kūʻē iā COVID-19, akā ua lawe ʻia kona ola.
Ua hoʻomaikaʻi ka ʻohana o Powell i nā limahana lapaʻau “no kā lākou mālama mālama.” Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ke kumu o ka make ma ke ʻano he "komikina mai COVID-19." Ua hala mua ʻo ia i ke kakahiaka Poʻakahi.
Ua ʻike ʻia kekahi kenekulia ʻehā hōkū i hoʻomaha ʻia me ka myeloma he nui, e like me ka hōʻike a nā media, kahi ʻano o ke kanesa maʻi koko e ālai i ka hiki i ke kino ke hakakā i nā maʻi.
ʻO Colin Powell ka pelekikena o ka Joint Chiefs of Staff, ke kūlana koa kiʻekiʻe loa ma ka US Defense Department, ma lalo o Pelekikena George HW Bush, a ʻo ia ka muli loa a me ka ʻAmelika ʻAmelika mua i paʻa i kēlā kūlana.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Powell e lilo i pelekikena ʻeleʻele mua o ka US, ma hope o ka piʻi ʻana o kona kaulana i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana a US i kūʻē iā Saddam Hussein i ko Kuwait ma 1990.
Ma hope ua lawelawe ʻo ia ma ke ʻano ʻo George W. Bush Kākau'ōlelo a, i loko o ia manawa, lilo i luna aupuni ʻeleʻele kūlana kiʻekiʻe. I ka 2003, ua hana ʻo Powell i kāna hihia hoʻokele no ka hoʻouka kaua iā ʻIraka i nā Aupuni Hui Pū ʻIa, e ʻōlelo ana i ka ʻike hewa ʻole o kā Hussein Baʻathist aupuni i ka mālama ʻana i nā mea kaua o ka luku nui.
I loko o kahi kiʻi paʻi kiʻi i kēia manawa, ua paʻa ʻo ia i kahi vial model of faux anthrax i mua o ka UN General Assembly, akā e ʻike ʻia ka hanana ma ke ʻano he "blot" ma kāna moʻolelo. ʻO ka mea i hōʻiliʻili ʻia he kaua ʻewalu mau makahiki i hōʻino ʻia.
Ua manaʻo ʻia aia ma mua o hoʻokahi miliona Iraqis ua lilo ko lākou ola i loko o ka hana ʻino a i ʻole no ka nele i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka hoʻouka kaua, a he mau kaukani koa ʻAmelika i make i ka wā o ka hana a ka US ma ʻIraka. ʻO ka hopena o ka hoʻouka kaua i alakaʻi ʻia i ka lehulehu o ka hana kipi a me ka piʻi ʻana o Islamic State (IS, ISIS ma mua).
Ua hele a hilahila ʻo Powell i ka neʻe ʻana o kāna ʻaoʻao i ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau a kākoʻo lehulehu hoʻi ʻO Barack Obama i kāna noi no ka pelekikena.
Ua kākoʻo pū ʻo Powell i ko Joe Biden moho i alakaʻi ai i ka ʻāina, e ʻōlelo ana ʻo ia he "pelekikena e haʻaheo mākou āpau e aloha aku."
He ʻekolu keiki a Powell a koe kāna wahine ʻo ʻAlamā, ʻo ia kāna i male ai ma 1962.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- ʻO 35 makahiki makahiki o ka pūʻali koa US, i kū i ke kūlana o nā hōkū hōkū ʻehā ma mua o ke komo ʻana i ka politika, ua mālama ʻia i ka Walter Reed National Medical Center, i kona wā i hala aku ai, ua hoʻolaha kona ʻohana i kēia lā ma kahi pou ma kāna ʻaoʻao Facebook.
- In a now-iconic photograph, he held up a model vial of faux anthrax in front of the UN General Assembly, but would come to acknowledge the event as a “blot” on his record.
- It is estimated that more than a million Iraqis lost their lives in the violence or due to the deprivation caused by the invasion, and thousands of American troops died during the course of the US' ventures in Iraq.
