Malajski ustanak

S Vikipedije, slobodne enciklopedije

Malajski ustanak ili Malajska vanredna situacija, poznata i kao Antibritanski nacionalno-oslobodilački rat[1] (1948–1960), bio je gerilski rat koji se vodio u britanskoj Malaji između komunističkih boraca za nezavisnost Malajske nacionalne oslobodilačke armije (MNLA) i vojnih snaga. Federacije Malaje, Britanske imperije i Komonvelta. Komunisti su se borili da osvoje nezavisnost Malaje od Britanske imperije i da uspostave socijalističku ekonomiju, dok su se Malajska federacija i snage Komonvelta borile za borbu protiv komunizma i zaštitu britanskih ekonomskih i kolonijalnih interesa.[2][3][4] Mnogi pisci veruju da su termin „Hitna situacija“ izabrali Britanci zato što osiguravači sa sedištem u Londonu ne bi isplatili u slučajevima građanskih ratova.[5]

17. juna 1948. Britanija je proglasila vanredno stanje u Malaji nakon napada na plantaže,[6] koji su zauzvrat bili osvetnički napadi za ubistvo levičarskih aktivista.[7] Lider Malajske komunističke partije (MCP) Čin Peng i njegovi saveznici pobegli su u džunglu i formirali MNLA da bi vodili rat za nacionalno oslobođenje protiv britanske kolonijalne vlasti. Mnogi borci MNLA bili su veterani Malajske narodne antijapanske armije (MPAJA), komunističke gerilske vojske koju su Britanci prethodno obučavali, naoružani i finansirali za borbu protiv Japana tokom Drugog svetskog rata.[8] Komunisti su dobili podršku velikog broja civila, uglavnom onih iz kineske zajednice.[9] Pored toga, između 200-400 japanskih vojnika stacioniranih u Malaji tokom Drugog svetskog rata pridružilo se komunističkoj gerili.[10]

Nakon uspostavljanja niza baza u džungli, MNLA je počela upadati u britansku kolonijalnu policiju i vojne objekte. MNLA je napala rudnike, plantaže i vozove kako bi stekla nezavisnost Malaje slomom britanske okupacije. Britanci su pokušali da izgladnjuju MNLA koristeći politiku spaljene zemlje kroz racionalizaciju hrane, ubijanje stoke i prskanje herbicida Ejdžent Orandž iz vazduha.[16] Britanski pokušaji da poraze komuniste uključivali su vansudska ubistva nenaoružanih seljana, što je kršenje Ženevskih konvencija.[17] Najzloglasniji primer je masakr Batang Kali, koji je štampa nazvala britanskim Mi Lajom.[22] Brigsov plan je prisilno preselio 400.000 do milion civila u koncentracione logore, koje su Britanci nazvali „nova sela“.[23][24][25] Mnoge domorodačke zajednice Orang Aslija takođe su bile meta internacije jer su Britanci verovali da podržavaju komuniste.[26][27] Verovanje komunista u klasnu svest, kao i etničku i rodnu ravnopravnost, inspirisalo je mnoge žene i starosedeoce da se pridruže i MNLA i njenoj tajnoj mreži snabdevanja Min Juen.[28]

Iako je vanredno stanje proglašeno gotovim 1960. godine, komunistički vođa Čin Peng je ponovo pokrenuo pobunu protiv malezijske vlade 1967. godine. Ova druga faza pobune trajala je do 1989. godine.
