Side by side

Okinawa, home to over 12% of the U.S. military presence in Japan, has recently experienced rapid military fortification under the so-called Nansei Shift (Southwest Shift). Although these bases are designated for Japan's Self-Defense Forces rather than the U.S. military, they pose an equal threat to the islanders, instilling fear of war and contributing to the destruction of their communities and way of life. In Okinawa, where parallels can be drawn to the THAAD system in Soseong-ri, South Korea, and the naval base in Gangjeong, Jeju Island, I met with individuals who are courageously speaking out against the prospect of war.
