Ralph Waldo Emerson, a famous American philosopher, once said: “Peace cannot be obtained by violence, it can only be obtained by understanding. » For the people of Okinawa, American military bases have been a problem since the American occupation of the islands in 1945. There have been violent clashes between American soldiers and Okinawan citizens, such as the Koza riot in 1970, but violence did not solve the problem. the problem. Recently, the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, often referred to as "the most dangerous air base in the world," has been in the spotlight as politicians attempt to resolve disputes. Understanding all facets of the Futenma problem and its relocation could be the only way to resolve this decade-long problem and bring peace to the citizens. Futenma was built more than half a century ago, after the Battle of Okinawa. in 1945, when the U.S. Army built this base on the ruins of the villages that once stood there. After the war, as people who lived in the villages began to return, their homes were replaced by a military base. As a result, people began to live along the base, and even today the densely populated town of Ginowan surrounds the airfield. As Futenma is an operational military base, military aircraft repeat takeoffs and landings several times a day. The jet planes roar over the heads of the residents of the town of Ginowan and darken them for fear that one of the planes will cause an accident injuring an innocent bystander. In 1996, the Japanese and American governments agreed to close Futenma Air Base if a replacement site was found. Recently, Henoko in the Nago region has been brought up in discussions like middle of paper......ears as if when a solution is found another door to another problem is opened regarding that issue. . The local voice of Nago residents was heard when they re-elected a mayor who completely opposed the Futenma relocation project. However, Tokyo politicians are trying to use money to lure negotiations in their favor, when in reality the focus should be on the voice of the local people. Is Tokyo's authority under pressure from a foreign power? Okinawans could still be on the losing side and on the other side, a foreign country receiving billions of dollars just to remain a symbol of power for other Asian countries. The only way to solve this problem is not through violence, but through understanding on both sides. “Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be achieved through understanding”, no matter how long it takes.
