17 years ago the U.S. and Japan reached an agreement to move the Futenma Marine Corp airbase from the middle of Ginowan city to Nago on Okinawa. Since the that agreement was reached there has been no movement on this issue as the people of Okinawa and the city where it is to be relocated have fought the relocation since the agreement was reached. Until December of 2013 the governor of Okinawa has refused to issue the necessary environmental impact statements needed for construction and relocation to take place. People living in Okinawa near those bases are concerned not only about the environmental impact but the associated crimes and possible crashes of the aircraft stationed at the facility.
