Nditafika ku Airport International ya Kabul pa November 4, sindinadziwe kuti tsiku lomwelo ndilo New York Times adalemba nkhani, "Moyo Umabwereranso ku Capital Capital, Kuopsa Kowopsa Kwambiri." Anzanga Abdulhai ndi Ali, zaka za 17, anyamata omwe ndakhala ndikuwadziwa kuyambira nditangopita kanthawi koyamba zaka zisanu, adandilonjera ndikumwetulira ndikukumbatira ndikutenga matumba anga. Tinkanyalanyazidwa ndi asilikali ndi apolisi okhala ndi zida zankhondo, tinkagwedeza kalekale pamene tinkadutsa pamtanda wa konkire, mchenga wa mchenga, malo otchera ndi waya waulendo ku msewu wa anthu ndikuyamika kabati.
Dzuŵa linangotentha m'mitambo mvula yam'mawa ndipo sindinaonepo Kabul akuwoneka mowala kwambiri. Pambuyo pa bwalo la ndege, njira yodutsa mumzindawu inali yodzaza ndi maola othawikira komanso malonda. Sindinadziwe kufikira nditawerenga New York Times patapita masiku angapo, kuti nthawi ino ndinali mmodzi mwa anthu ochepa chabe a US omwe amakhala pamsewuwo. "Akuluakulu a ku America sakuloledwa kuyenda pamsewu," adatero mkulu wa akuluakulu a ku Western Times, zomwe zinapitiriza kunena kuti "pambuyo pa zaka za 14 za nkhondo, pophunzitsa asilikali a Afghanistani ndi apolisi, zakhala zoopsa kwambiri kuyendetsa mailosi ndi hafu kuchokera ku eyapoti kupita ku ambassy."
Helikopita tsopano ogwira ntchito pamtsinje ogwira ntchito ndi United States ndi mgwirizano wapachilendo wapadziko lonse kupita ku maofesi ku Kabul. Embassy wa United States ku Kabul ndi imodzi mwa zazikulu padziko lonse lapansi ndipo kale ndi anthu omwe ali ndi anthu omwe ali nawo, antchito ake tsopano ali kutali kwambiri ndi anthu a Afghanistan ndi mabungwe kuposa kale. "Palibe wina," kupatulapo US ndi maofesi apakati, nyuzipepala ya Times inati, "ili ndi malo ogwirira ntchito." Pamene akulengeza ntchito yake kumeneko "Opaleshoni Resolute Support" ku Afghanistan, akuluakulu a ku United States sakuyendanso m'misewu ya Afghanistan.
Tilibe ma helikopita kapena malo otsika, koma chitetezo ku Kabul chimakhudzidwanso ndi Voices for Creative Nonviolence, udzu wa mtendere ndi bungwe la ufulu wa anthu zomwe ndimagwira nawo komanso mabwenzi athu omwe amadzipereka odzipereka ku Afghanistan, anabwera kudzacheza. Ndili ndi mwayi ndi ndevu zanga ndi mdima wandiweyani kuti ndizipita mosavuta kwa amderalo ndipo ndikutha kuyenda mowirikiza m'misewu kusiyana ndi ena omwe akupita kuno. Ngakhale apo, abwenzi anga achichepere amandiveka ine nduwira tikamachoka panyumbamo.
Chitetezo ku Kabul sichiwoneka chokhumudwitsa kwa aliyense, ngakhale. Malinga ndi October 29 Newsweek lipoti, boma la Germany lidzathamangitsira anthu ambiri a ku Afghanistan omwe akufuna kulowa usilikali. Mtsogoleri wa dziko la Germany, Thomas de Maiziere, akuumirira kuti Afghane ayenera "kukhala m'dziko lawo" komanso kuti othawa kwawo ochokera ku Kabul makamaka alibe chifukwa chothawirako, chifukwa Kabul ndi "malo abwino." Misewu ya Kabul ndi yoopsa kwambiri Anthu ogwira ntchito ku Embassy ku United States kuti apite kumalo awo a Humvees ndi magalimoto okhwima omwe aponyedwa ndi makampani opanga zida zankhondo ali otetezeka ku Afghans kuti azikhala, kugwira ntchito ndi kulera mabanja awo, ku Herr de Maiziere. "Afghans anapanga oposa 20 peresenti ya anthu a 560,000-plus omwe afika ku Ulaya ndi nyanja ku 2015, malinga ndi bungwe la United Nations Refugee Agency, chinachake cha Maziere chinanenedwa kuti 'sichiri chovomerezeka.'"
Afghans, makamaka a ophunzira apakati, a Maiziere akuti, "ayenera kukhala ndi kuthandiza kumanga dzikoli." New York Times, Hasina Safi, mtsogoleri wamkulu wa Afghan Women's Network, gulu lomwe likugwira ntchito pa ufulu wa anthu ndi nkhani za amai, akuwoneka kuti akuvomereza kuti: "Zidzakhala zovuta ngati anthu onse ophunzira amapita," adatero. "Awa ndi anthu omwe timawafuna m'dziko lino; Ngati ndi choncho, ndi ndani amene angathandize anthu wamba? "Mawu omwewo atchulidwa ndi kulimbika mtima ndi chikhulupiliro choyenera ndi wogwira ntchito ku ufulu wa anthu ku Afghanistan, akukhala ngati chinyengo komanso chilakolako cha udindo pamene akufotokozedwa kuchokera ku utumiki wa boma ku Berlin, makamaka pamene boma lili ndi zaka 14 zomwe zinagwirizanitsa ndi mgwirizano womwe umayambitsa mavuto ambiri a Afghanistan.
Tsiku lomwe nditafika ine ndinali ndi mwayi wokhala nawo pamsonkhano wa aphunzitsi ku School Kids 'Volunteers' Volunteers School pamene nkhaniyi inakambidwa. Azimayi awa ndi abambo, sukulu ya sekondale ndi yunivesite okha, amaphunzitsa zofunikira za maphunziro apamwamba kwa ana omwe ayenera kugwira ntchito m'misewu ya Kabul kuti athandize mabanja awo. Makolo salipira malipiro, koma mothandizidwa ndi Voices, amapatsidwa thumba la mpunga ndi jug ya mafuta ophika mwezi uliwonse kuti azilipiritsa maola omwe ana awo akuphunzira.
pamene New York Times amalengeza kuti "Moyo Umabwerera ku Afghanistan Capital," aphunzitsi odziperekawa ndi chizindikiro chakuti moyo umapitirira, nthawi zina ndi chisangalalo chochulukitsa ndi kuchuluka komwe ndakhala ndikukumana nawo masiku ano, ngakhale m'malo ano akuwonongedwa ndi nkhondo ndi kufuna. Zinali kusweka mtima, kuti, timvetsere achinyamata achichepere, ogwira ntchito komanso oganiza bwino omwe akuyimira bwino chiyembekezo cha tsogolo la Afghanistan, akambirane moona ngati ali ndi tsogolo labwino komanso ngati ayeneranso kuyanjana ndi Afghans ambiri omwe akufuna malo opatulika.
Zifukwa zomwe achinyamata awa angachoke ndizo zambiri ndipo zimapangitsa. Pali mantha ambiri odzipha ndi kupha mabomba ku Kabul, maulendo apulumuti m'madera omwe aliyense angakonzeke ngati msilikali wa US, mantha a kugwidwa pakati pa asilikali osiyanasiyana omwe akumenya nkhondo omwe sio awo. Onse avutika kwambiri mu nkhondo zomwe zinayambira pano asanabadwe. Maofesi omwe akukonzekera kukonzanso dziko lawo ali odzaza ndi ziphuphu, kuchokera ku Washington, DC, kupita ku mautumiki a boma a Afghanistan ndi mabungwe omwe siaboma, mabiliyoni a madola omwe amatha kusonkhanitsa ndi pang'ono kuti asonyeze pansi. Malingaliro awo ngakhale omwe ali owala kwambiri ndi othandiza kwambiri pophunzira ndiyeno nkutha kupeza ntchito mu ntchito zawo zosankhidwa ku Afghanistan si zabwino.
Ambiri mwa iwo odzipereka adavomereza kuti adaganiza kuti achoke, komabe iwo ankanena kuti ali ndi udindo waukulu kuti akhale m'dera lawo. Ena anali atatsimikiza mtima kuti asachoke, ena ankawoneka osatsimikizika ngati chitukuko chiti chidzawathandize kukhalabe. Mofanana ndi achinyamata kulikonse, angakonde kuyenda ndi kuwona dziko lapansi koma pamapeto pake chilakolako chawo chachikulu ndi "kukhala ndi kuthandiza kumanga dziko" ngati angathe.
Ambiri a Afghani, Iraq, Asiriya, Libyya ndi ena amaika miyoyo yawo pangozi kuti awoloke Nyanja ya Mediterranean mu zojambula zamakono kapena malo kupyolera mu dera lopanda chiyembekezo pofuna kupeza malo obisala ku Ulaya akanakhala kunyumba ngati akanatha. Ngakhale kuti ofunafuna chitetezo akuyenera kulandiridwa alendo ndi malo ogona kuti ali ndi ufulu, momveka bwino yankho silikukhudza anthu mamiliyoni ambiri othaŵa kwawo ku Ulaya ndi North America. Kwa nthawi yaitali, palibe njira yothetsera kupatula kukonzanso kayendetsedwe ka ndale ndi kayendetsedwe ka chuma kuti anthu onse azikhala ndi moyo pakhomo kapena kusuntha mwaufulu ngati ndizo zosankha zawo. Mwachidule, palibe chomwe chidzathetse mafunde akuluakulu a anthu othawa kwawo omwe amalephera kuthetsa nkhondo zonse m'mayikowa ndi United States ndi mabungwe ake ndi Russia.
November 4 New York Times nkhani imathera ndi chenjezo, chenjezo lakuti "ngakhale kuyesetsa kupeŵa ngozi ku Kabul kumabweretsa mavuto aakulu." Patapita masabata atatu, imodzi mwa ma helicopter ambiri omwe tsopano akudzaza mlengalenga akusunthira antchito a embassy anali ndi ngozi yoopsa. "Poyesa kukwera pansi, woyendetsa ndegeyo anadutsa pang'onopang'ono kuti ayang'anire blimp yomwe ikuyang'ana pakati pa Kabul pamene ikuyenda pamwamba pa Resolute Support base." Anthu asanu ogwirizana anafa pangozi, kuphatikizapo awiri a ku America. Blimp inachoka ndi zipangizo zowonongeka zokwana madola milioni, ndipo potsirizira pake, zinagwedezeka, ndipo mwina zikuwononga, nyumba ya Afghanistan.
Khama la US, UK ndi Germany "kuti tipeŵe zoopsa ku Kabul" ndi malo ena omwe tawawononga "mosabisala" adzafika posawononga. Sitingathe kukhalabe otetezeka ku chisokonezo chamagazi chomwe tapanga pa dziko lapansi pozigwedeza kuchokera ku helipad yokhala ndi mpanda wolimba kwambiri mpaka ku helipad. Mamiliyoni a anthu othawa kwawo akusefukira m'malire athu angakhale mtengo wochepa kwambiri umene tiyenera kulipira ngati tipitiliza kuyesa.
