ICOLFAX, eLouisiana Ngolunye urhatya ndaphuma ndaya kubaleka. Ndithathe indlela ephuma ngaseLake Iatt, ndidlula kwihektare emva komhlaba ogawulweyo, izindlu ezirhuqwayo kunye neefama eziluhlaza. Kwakulula ukuphuma nasemva, kodwa njengoko ndandijikeleza ikona yokugqibela, ndothuswa lifu elimnyama lomsi elaliphephezela indlela yam. Kwagqabhuka iziqhushumbisi mgama. Izandi zandibuyisela e-Iraq, apho ndandichithe ukhenketho oluninzi njengomfoti, ndimamele amadabi emipu eyayisilwa kwiidolophu ezikufutshane okanye ebumelwaneni.
Iziqhushumbisi beziphuma kwindawo yorhwebo etshisayo ngaphandle nje kweli bala ledolophu. Umkhosi wase-US unamashumi amawaka eeponti zezixhobo zawo kunye nenkunkuma etshiswa kwiziko minyaka le. Kwaye unamashumi eminyaka.
Abantu baseColfax, ngenxa yoko, kudala bayeka ukothuka ngendlela endandiye ndenza ngayo. Uqhushumbo - "NjengeMfazwe yeHlabathi yeSithathu okanye oweSine kaJulayi," watsho omnye umhlali - sisandi sobomi kwidolophu enesigqibo esithile, intlupheko enkulu kunye nokurhoxa okuninzi.
Kwiiyure ezipholileyo zasekuseni, ungabona abantu, abaninzi base-Afrika-baseMelika, bewela iingoma zikaloliwe ukuya kwikhemesti yaseDixie ephinda kabini njengevenkile yekofu.
Emini, nangona kunjalo, iColfax yonke kodwa yidolophu yesiporho, ngaphandle kwendawo yokutyela yaseDarrell, ekuphela kwendawo yokutya esele edolophini emva kokuba enye ivaliwe xa umniniyo esweleke ngumhlaza kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo. Ngokuhlwa emva kwemini, kubakho isiqabu kubushushu.
Abantu baphinda bavele.
Kukho amadoda ahamba nezixhobo zokucheba ingca enethemba lokulanda umsebenzi. Ezantsi kwisitrato esingenasiphelo, ndafumana abafana ababini besaphula ihashe kwindawo engenabantu, egcwele inkunkuma phakathi kweenqwelwana ezirhuqwayo. Aba bantwana babezama ukunqanda ihashe ukuba lingakhuli, nangona qho xa litsiba-tsiba ngemilenze yalo yangasemva, uncumo lwamakhwenkwe lwaluluphelisa uvuyo lwabo.
Amanye amakhwenkwe adlale ibhola esitratweni, esala ukukholelwa ukuba umbutho weendaba onje ngeProPublica undwendwele idolophu yawo. Xa ndachaza ibali endiligubungelayo, abaninzi babo bahlambalaza kwaye babuza ukuba ingaba ku-Instagram.
Kwakukho abantu ababeloba, kananjalo, kuquka nosapho olwandisiweyo eLake Iatt. Ndabuza malunga nomsi onetyhefu, kodwa uCaroline Harrell, umphathi wezizukulwana ezithathu ezaziphethe iintonga, akazange akhathazeke okanye abe nomsindo. Kubonakala ngathi abantu abaqapheli. Ngapha koko, kwakusele kuqalisiwe ukhuphiswano lokuloba.
Ndaphinda ndamamela izandi zeColfax, ndaphinda ndabuyiselwa eBaghdad, kumgama oziikhilomitha ezingama-7,000 kunye nobomi obubini obudlulileyo. Apho, bendizama ngako konke okusemandleni am ukuba ndiphumle, ndisele utywala kwaye ndibe nomsi kwisiseko saseMelika okanye kwiziko lombutho weendaba. Amadabi ompu ayedla ngokuqhambuka kufutshane, kodwa ayengabhaliswa njengezandi ezibangela umdla. Babeyinxalenye yobomi balapho ngelo xesha. Ingozi yayingangxamisekanga; kwakubonakala kungekho sizathu sakothusa.
Eli bali liyinxalenye yoluhlu oluvavanya ukongamela kwePentagon amawaka eendawo ezinetyhefu kumhlaba waseMelika, kunye neminyaka yobugosa ephawulwe kukuchasa kunye nokulibaziseka. Funda ngokugqithisileyo.
