Vanhu vanogara zvino muguta rechitatu guru reYemen, Ta'iz, vakatsungirira zvinhu zvisingafungidzirwe kwemakore matatu apfuura. Vanhuwo zvavo vanotya kubuda panze vachityira kuti vangapfurwa nemhondi kana kutsika chimbambaira. Mativi ese ari maviri ehondo yevagari vemo iri kuramba ichiwedzera anoshandisa Howitzers, Kaytushas, dhaka uye mamwe makombi kupfura guta. Vagari vanoti hapana nharaunda yakachengeteka kupfuura imwe, uye masangano anorwira kodzero dzevanhu anoshuma kutyorwa kunotyisa, kusanganisira kushungurudzwa kwenhapwa. Mazuva maviri apfuura, bhomba remubatanidzwa rinotungamirwa neSaudi rakauraya vanhu makumi mashanu nevana mumusika wakazara vanhu.
Hondo yevagari vemo isati yatanga, guta raionekwa seguta repamutemo retsika yeYemen, inzvimbo iyo vanyori nevanodzidza, maartist nenhetembo vakasarudza kugara. Ta'iz paive kumusha kune bato rine simba, rekugadzira vechidiki panguva yekumukira kwe2011 Arab Spring. Majaya nemhandara vakaronga kuratidzira kukuru vachitsutsumwa nekupfumiswa kwevakuru vakuru vadzika midzi sezvo vanhuwo zvavo vaitamburira kurarama.
Vechidiki vakanga vachifumura mavambo eimwe yedambudziko rakaipisisa rokubatsira vanhu munyika nhasi.
Vairidza mhere yekudonha kwemvura izvo zvaita kuti matsime arambe achinetsa kuchera uye zvaikanganisa upfumi hwekurima. Vainetsekawo saizvozvo pamusoro pokurovha. Apo varimi nevafudzi vaiziya nenzara vakatamira kumaguta, pwere dzaigona kuona kuti kuwedzera kwechiverengero chavagari vapasi kwaizowedzera sei gadziriro dzisina kukwana dzepombi yetsvina, utsanana uye utano. Vakatsutsumwa nekumisa kuri kuita hurumende yavo mari dzemoto pamwe nekukwira kwemitengo yezvinhu. Vaipopotera kuti kutariswe zvakare pagwara kubva kune vakapfuma vepamusoro uye pakugadzirwa kwemabasa kune vakapedza chikoro chesekondari nevekuyunivhesiti.
Pasinei nenhamo yavo, vakatsunga kusarudza kurwisana kusina zvombo, kusina chisimba.
Dr. Sheila Carapico, munyori wenhau dzakaitika akanyatsotevera nhoroondo yeYemen yemazuva ano, akanyora masirogani akagamuchirwa nevaratidziri muTa’iz nomuSana’a, muna 2011: “Kuramba Tiine Rugare Ndiko Sarudzo Yedu,” uye “Kuva Nerugare, Rugare, Kwete Kuhondo Yevagari Vemo.”
Carapico anowedzera kuti vamwe vakadaidza Ta'iz epicenter yekumukira kwakakurumbira. “Boka reguta rine vadzidzi vakadzidza mumarudzi akasiyana-siyana rakavaraidza vatori vechikamu vachiratidzira nemimhanzi, skits, caricatures, graffiti, mabhena uye zvimwe zvishongo. Mapoka akatorwa mifananidzo: varume nevakadzi pamwechete; varume nevakadzi vakaparadzana, vose vasina pfuti.”
Muna Zvita wegore ra2011, vanhu 150,000 vakafamba makiromita angada kusvika mazana maviri kubva kuTa'iz kuenda kuSana'a, vachikurudzira kushevedzera kwavo shanduko murunyararo. Pakati pavo paiva nevanhu vedzinza vaishanda mumapurazi nemapurazi. Vaisawanzobva pamba vasina pfuti dzavo, asi vakanga vasarudza kusendeka zvombo zvavo parutivi vopinda mukufora murunyararo.
Asi, avo vakatonga Yemen kweanopfuura makore makumi matatu, mukubatana nehumambo hweSaudi Arabia hwakavakidzana nahwo hwaipikisa zvine hukasha kufamba kwedemocracy chero padyo nemiganhu yayo, vakataurirana hurongwa hwezvematongerwo enyika hwaireva kubatanidza kupokana asi vasingabatanidze ruzhinji rweYemenis kubva mukurudziro pamitemo. . Havana kufuratira zvido zveshanduko dzinganzwikwa nevanhuwo zvavo veYemenis uye vakagonesa shanduko yehutungamiriri, vachitsiva Mutungamiriri wehudzvanyiriri Ali Abdullah Saleh naAbdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, mutevedzeri wake, semutungamiri asina kusarudzwa weYemen.
IUS nevavakidzani petro-monarchies vakatsigira vane simba elites. Panguva iyo maYemenis ainyanya kuda mari yekuzadzisa zvinodiwa nemamirioni ane nzara, havana kuterera zvikumbiro zvevechidiki vane runyararo vachidaidza shanduko isina mhirizhonga, uye vakadurura mari mu "kushandiswa kwekuchengetedza" - pfungwa inorasika iyo yaireva kuenderera mberi kwemauto, kusanganisira kubata zvombo. yevadzvanyiriri vevatengi vachipesana nevanhu vavo.
Uye ipapo sarudzo dzisina mhirizhonga dzakapera, uye hondo yevagari vemo yakatanga.
Zvino nhamo yenzara nehosha idzo pwere dzine rugare dzaitarisira dzave chokwadi chinotyisa, uye guta ravo reTa'iz rinoshandurwa kuita nhandare yehondo.
Chii chatingashuvira Ta'iz? Chokwadi, hatingashuvire kuti denda rinotyisa rekubhomba kwemuchadenga kuti rikonzere rufu, kuchekeresa, kuparadza uye kushungurudza kwakawanda. Hatingade kuti mitsetse yehondo ichinjike kuti itambanuke neguta nemarara mumigwagwa yaro ine ropa. Ini ndinofunga vanhu vazhinji muUS havangashuvire kutyisa kwakadai kune chero nharaunda uye havadi kuti vanhu vemuTa'iz vasarudzwe kuti vawedzere kutambura. Isu tinogona panzvimbo pacho kuvaka mishandirapamwe yakakura tichida kushevedzera kweUS kumisa moto zvachose uye kupera kwekutengesa kwese kwezvombo kune chero mapato ari kurwisana. Asi, kana US ikaramba ichishongedza mubatanidzwa unotungamirwa neSaudi, kutengesa mabhomba kuSaudi Arabia neUAE uye kuwedzera mabhomba eSaudi mumhepo kuitira kuti vaenderere mberi nekuuraya kwavo, vanhu muTaiz uye muYemen yose vacharamba vachitambura.
Vanhu vakaomerwa muTa'iz vachatarisira, zuva rega rega, kutinhira kunorwadza, kuputika kwenzeve kana kuputika kukuru kunogona kubvarura mutumbi wemudiwa, kana muvakidzani, kana mwana wevavakidzani; kana kushandura misha yavo kuva dongo, nokushandura upenyu hwavo nokusingaperi, kana kuuraya upenyu hwavo zuva risati rasvika.
