Na Ann Wright

ʻO kā mākou ʻelele kanaka ʻekolu mai CODEPINK: Women for Peace (Leslie Harris o Dallas, TX, Barbara Briggs-Letson o Sebastopol, CA a me Ann Wright o Honolulu, HI) i huakaʻi i Greece e hana manawaleʻa i nā puʻuhonua. Ua hoʻolilo mākou i ko mākou lā mua ma Atenai ma kahi hoʻomoana o ka poʻe mahuka ma nā uapo o ke awa ʻo Piraeus i ʻike ʻia ʻo E1 a me E1.5 no nā uapo kahi e waiho ai lākou-mai nā piʻipiʻi ʻoi loa o ka moku kahi e holo ai nā waʻa i nā mokupuni Helene . ʻO Camp E2 i paʻa he 500 mau kānaka i pani ʻia i ka hopena pule a neʻe ka poʻe 500 ma ia wahi i Camp E1.5.

Aia nā kahua hoʻomoana ma nā uapo o Piraeus no kekahi mau mahina i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ka neʻe ʻana o nā ferryboats i nā mea mahuka mai nā mokupuni mai ke kahakai o Turkey a hiki i Atenai. Ua hōʻea ka hapa nui o nā moku i nā pier i ka pō a ʻaʻohe o kahi wahi e hele ai nā mea huakaʻi no laila hoʻomoana wale lākou ma nā pahi. Ua hoʻoliʻiliʻi, ua koho nā luna Helene i nā piers E1 a me E2 no nā wahi hoʻomoana. Akā, me ka hiki ʻana mai o ke kau mākaʻikaʻi, makemake nā luna i ka manawa no ka hoʻonui ʻia o ka ʻoihana huakaʻi.

ʻO nā pahuhopu heʻelua mau keʻena i koe e pili ana i ka 2500 e paniʻia ma kēia hopena pule a neʻe nā mea a pau i kahi hoʻomoana ma Scaramonga e kūkuluʻia ana e pili ana i nā minuke 15 ma waho o Athens.

Ua haʻalele kekahi o ka poʻe mahuka i nā pali Piraeus e nānā i nā wahi'ē aʻe o ka hoʻokele, akā hoʻi ua hoʻi i nā pali e like me ke kaʻahao ma mua o ka papa lepo, nā makani hau hou a hiki ke komo i ke kūlanakauhaleʻo Atena eʻikeʻia nāʻoihana lehulehu ma mua o ka nohoʻana kahi kahua kūikawā ma kahi wahi kūpono me nā kānāwai komo a me nā puka kūpono.

Aia mākou ma Piraeus i nehinei i ka lā holoʻokoʻa e kōkua ana i ka hale waiho lole a kamaʻilio pū me nā mea mahuka ke kali nei lākou i nā lālani - no nā lua, nā ʻauʻau, nā meaʻai, nā lole - nā laina no nā mea āpau a me nā mea āpau - a ua kono ʻia e noho i loko o nā hale lole ʻohana e kamaʻilio. Ua hui mākou me ko Suria, Iraqis, Afghans, Iranians a me Pakistanis.

He informal nā kahua hoʻomoana, ʻaʻole nā ​​kahua hoʻomoana kūhelu i lawelawe ʻia e kekahi hui. Akā ke kōkua nei ke aupuni Helene me kekahi o nā loina e like me nā lua a me nā meaʻai. ʻAʻole paha he luna hoʻomoana a mea hoʻonohonoho waena paha akā ʻike ka poʻe āpau i ka drill o ka meaʻai i kēlā me kēia lā, wai, tiolet. ʻO ke kākau inoa Refugee no ko lākou wā e hiki mai ana kahi hana a mākou i ʻike ʻole ai, akā he nui nā mea a mākou i kamaʻilio pū ai ma Athens no 2 mau mahina a makemake ʻole e neʻe ʻia i kahi hale kūpono kahi e loaʻa ai ka liʻiliʻi o ke kūʻokoʻa a hiki i ke kamaʻāina. nā kaiāulu.

Kūpikipiki nā lua lua, nā laina lōʻihi no ka ua me 10 mau minuke max no nā māmā e holoi i nā keiki. Noho ka hapa nui i nā hale lole liʻiliʻi me nā ʻohana nui e pili ana i nā hale lole he nui e hana i kahi "lumi noho" a me nā lumi moe. Heihei nā keiki a puni ka wahi me nā mea pāʻani liʻiliʻi. He wahi ākea ko ka Norewena Norewai "A drop In the Ocean" ma lalo o ka hale lole no ka hoʻolako ʻana i kahi no nā mea noʻeau, ka pena ʻana a me ke kaha kiʻi ʻana no nā keiki. Loaʻa i kahi NGO Paniolo kī tī a me ka wai 24 mau lā i ka lā. Hoʻopili ʻia ka waihona ukana o ka lole me nā pahu o nā lole i hoʻohana ʻia e pono ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia i mau puʻupuʻu kūpono no ka hoʻoili. ʻOiai ʻaʻohe mīkini holoi lole, hoʻāʻo kekahi mau wahine e holoi i nā kapa i loko o nā bākeke a kau i nā lole ma nā laina, ʻoiai ua ʻike kekahi i ka hoʻolei ʻana i nā lole lepo a loaʻa nā "mea hou" mai ka hale ukana ʻo ia ke ala kūpono loa e noho maʻemaʻe. Hāʻawi ʻo UNHCR i nā kapa moe i hoʻohana ʻia e like me nā kapeta i nā hale lole.

Ua launa mākou i nā mea manawaleʻa honua mai Sepania, Netherlands, US, Palani a me nā mea manawaleʻa Helene he nui. ʻO nā mea manawaleʻa i noho ma laila i ka lōʻihi e hāʻawi i ka hana maʻamau i nā mea hou. ʻO ka ʻōnaehana mua o kahi hoʻonohonoho i kēlā me kēia lā no nā mea manawaleʻa hou ʻaʻole i kūkulu hou ʻia ma hope o ka pani ʻana o ka hoʻomoana E2.

Maʻemaʻe maoli nā wahi noho hale e noʻonoʻo ana i ka lōʻihi o ka poʻe ma laila. ʻO ka hoʻokipa o nā mea mahuka i ka poʻe i hele mai i kahi hoʻomoana i ka lokahi he mea hōʻoluʻolu. Ua kono ʻia mākou i loko o ka hale ʻekolu o ka ʻohana a kahi ʻohana mai Iraq. ʻElima a lākou keiki, 4 kaikamahine a me hoʻokahi keikikāne. Ua lawe mai lākou i ko lākou mau halelewa i ka ʻaina awakea i hoʻolako ʻia ma 3pm, kahi ʻaina awakea o ka wela wela, ka berena, ka tī a me ka ʻalani. Noho lākou i ka ʻohana āpau no kahi papa ʻaina ʻaʻohe mea kānalua e hoʻomanaʻo i nā keiki i ka home.

I ka lokomaikaʻi maʻamau o ka Middle East i nā malihini, ua noi lākou iā mākou e hele i loko o ka hale lole a hāʻawi mai e kaʻana like i kā lākou pāʻina me mākou. Noho mākou a kamaʻilio i kā lākou ʻai ʻana. ʻO ka makuakāne i hōʻike ʻia ma kahi o 40 mau makahiki he kauka lāʻau a he kumu no ka ʻAlapia ka makuahine. Ua ʻōlelo ka makuakāne e pono iā ia e lawe i kona ʻohana mai ʻIraka mai no ka mea inā i make ʻo ia, e like me ka nui o kāna mau hoaaloha, pehea e mālama ai kāna wahine i ka ʻohana?

Noho ka poʻe 800 ma ka hale he 5 mau hale. 21,000 nā mea mahuka i nā wahi like ʻole ma Munich. Ua hele mai kahi ʻohana mai Suria me nā keiki ʻeono i ke alaloa e hāʻawi iā mākou i nā ʻāpana o nā mea kanu maka a ua hāʻawi mai kekahi ʻohana mai Armenia iā mākou i nā ʻāpana o nā kanakē. Ke hoʻomau nei ka hoʻokipa o ka Hikina Waena me nā ʻohana ke hele lākou ma lalo o nā kūlana paʻakikī i nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka honua.

Ma Berlin, ua hele mākou i kahi hale mahuka ma Templehof Airport kahi i hoʻolilo ʻia ai nā mea kau e 4,000. Hoʻohana ʻia nā pono o nā mea mahuka ma Berlin a me Munich e nā ʻoihana pilikino ʻaʻole pololei e ke aupuni Kelemania. Ua hāʻawi ʻia i kēlā me kēia wahi Kelemania nā ʻāpana no nā helu o nā mea pakele a lākou e hoʻokipa ai a ua hana kēlā me kēia wahi i kā lākou mau hae ponoʻī no ke kōkua.
