"Ngoku makhe siqale. Ngoku masizinikele kwakhona kwixesha elide nelikrakra, kodwa elihle, lokuzabalazela ihlabathi elitsha… Ingaba singatsho ukuba amathuba anzima kakhulu? … umzabalazo unzima kakhulu? … kwaye sithumela ezona zisola zethu zinzulu? Okanye ngaba kuya kubakho omnye umyalezo-wokulangazelela, wethemba, womanyano… Ukhetho lolwethu, kwaye nangona sinokukhetha ngenye indlela, kufuneka sikhethe kulo mzuzu ubalulekileyo wembali yoluntu. ”

Kabul—Ndichithe intsasa ezolileyo ngokumangalisayo apha eKabul, ndimamele iingoma zeentaka kunye nekhwelo nempendulo phakathi koomama nabantwana babo kumakhaya angabamelwane njengoko iintsapho zivusa kwaye zilungiselela abantwana babo esikolweni. UMaya Evans kunye nam sifike apha izolo, kwaye sihlala nje kwindawo yokuhlala yabahlali abancinci bethu, AmaVolontiya oXolo ase-Afghan (APVs). Phezolo, basixelele ngeziganeko ezothusayo nezothusayo eziphawule iinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo zobomi babo eKabul.
Bachaza indlela abavakalelwa ngayo xa ukudubula kweziqhushumbisi, kufutshane, kubavusa ngeentsasa eziliqela. Abanye bathi baziva ngathi bothukile bakufumanisa ngenye imini ukuba amasela agqogqe ikhaya labo. Baye babelana ngeemvakalelo zabo zoloyiko olukhulu kwingxelo yomphathi-mfazwe owaziwayo egxeka uqhanqalazo lwamalungelo oluntu apho uluntu oluninzi luthathe inxaxheba. Kwaye ukothuka kwabo xa kwiiveki ezimbalwa kamva, eKabul, ibhinqa eliselula, isifundiswa samaSilamsi ogama linguFarkhunda, watyholwa ngobuxoki kwingxoxo yasesitalatweni yokunyelisa iKoran, emva koko, kwimvume ehlokomayo yehlokondiba elinomsindo mhlawumbi lamadoda angamawaka amabini, amalungu esihlwele, esebenzisana namapolisa, ambetha wafa. Abahlobo bethu abancinci balungisa iimvakalelo zabo ngokuzolileyo phantsi kobundlobongela obungenakuphepheka kwaye obuhlala bugqithisa.
Ndacinga malunga nendlela yokubandakanya amabali abo kwikhosi endiyilungiselelayo isikolo se-intanethi samazwe ngamazwe ejonge ukunceda ukuphakamisa ukuqonda phakathi kwabantu, ukuwela imida kunye nokwabelana ngeziphumo. Ndiyathemba ukuba isikolo siya kunceda ukuphuhlisa iintshukumo ezinikezelwe kukuphila okulula, ukwabelana ngokugqibeleleyo, inkonzo kwaye, ngenxa yabaninzi, isenzo esingenalo ubundlobongela egameni lokuphelisa iimfazwe nokungabikho kokusesikweni.
Ngokusisiseko, xa amalungu eVoices esiya eKabul, "umsebenzi" wethu kukumamela kwaye sifunde kubamkeli bethu kwaye sibuyisele amabali abo emfazwe kumazwe anoxolo ngokwentelekiso izenzo zawo ezihlisele imfazwe kubo. Ngaphambi kokuba sihambe, iindaba ezivela e-Afghanistan zazisele zimbi kakhulu. Ishumi elinambini labantu lafa kumlo phakathi kwamaqela axhobileyo. Ukuhlaselwa kwehotele yaseKabul koosomashishini bamazwe ngamazwe kwiveki engaphambili. Sibhale ngokunyanisekileyo abahlobo bethu sibacela ngomzuzu wokugqibela ukuba bangahambi, ngethemba lokuba asiyi kubenza amaxhoba obundlobongela. “Nceda nize,” sibhalele abahlobo bethu. Ngoko silapha.
Ubukho basentshona eAfghanistan sele bubangele intshabalalo engenakubalwa, ukubandezeleka kunye nelahleko. A kutshanje ukhululwe ooGqirha boXanduva lweNtlalo kubalwe ukuba ukususela ngo-2001 e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan, iimfazwe zase-US zibulale ubuncinane i-1.3 yezigidi kwaye mhlawumbi ngaphezu kwe-2 yezigidi zabantu.
Ingxelo igxeka amagosa ezopolitiko aseMelika ngokubalela ubundlobongela obuqhubekayo e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq kwiindidi ezahlukeneyo zongquzulwano lwe-internecine "ngokungathi ukuvela kwakhona kunye nenkohlakalo yolo ngquzulwano alunxulumananga nokudodobala okubangelwa kukungenelela komkhosi kumashumi eminyaka."
Abahlobo bethu abaselula baye basinda kwintshabalalo yemfazwe, yaye ngamnye kubo unengxaki yokwenzakala, njengoko abazali noomakhulu nootatomkhulu babo benjenjalo ngaphambi kwabo. Xa siye sahamba nabo siye kutyelela iinkampu zeembacu ezingaphandle kweKabul, abaninzi baye babalisa ngamava abo njengabantwana, bebaleka xa iilali zabo zihlaselwa okanye zihleli. Sifunda kubo ngeentlungu oomama babo ababunyamezelayo xa kwakungekho kutya kwaneleyo ukondla usapho okanye amafutha okubathwala kubusika obungenantliziyo: xa bona ngokwabo baphantse babulawa yi-hypothermia. Uninzi lwabahlobo bethu abancinci banamava othusayo xa besiva iingxelo ezindabeni zabantu base-Afghan ababulewe ngemijukujelwa okanye ngemipu emehlweni aboyikekileyo ngamalungu osapho kunye nabo babathandayo. Bayangcangcazela yaye maxa wambi bayalila, bekhumbula amava afanayo kubomi babo.
Ibali le-Afghanistan kwii-akhawunti zaseNtshona kukuba i-Afghanistan ayikwazi ukujongana neentlungu zayo, nangona sizama kangakanani, ngeebhulethi zethu, iziseko kunye nezikolo kunye neeklinikhi, ukunceda. Nangona kunjalo aba bantu bancinci baphendula ngokunyanisekileyo kwiintlungu zabo kungekhona ngokufuna impindezelo kodwa ngokufumana iindlela zokunceda abantu baseKabul abaneemeko ezimbi kunezabo, ngakumbi i-750,000 yase-Afghan ehlala, kunye nabantwana babo, kwiinkampu zeembacu ezingekho phantsi.
Ii-APVs ziqhuba i esinye isikolo sabantwana basezitalatweni eKabul. Abantwana abancinci abona baboneleli baphambili kwiintsapho zabo abafumani xesha lokufunda izibalo ezisisiseko okanye "ialfabhethi" xa bechitha ngaphezulu kweeyure ezisibhozo imihla ngemihla besebenza kwizitrato zaseKabul. Abanye ngabathengisi, ezinye izihlangu ezipholishayo, kwaye abanye baphatha izikali ecaleni kwendlela ukuze abantu bazilinganise. Kuqoqosho oluwa phantsi kobunzima bemfazwe norhwaphilizo, umvuzo wabo abawusebenze nzima awuthengi ukutya okwaneleyo kwiintsapho zabo.
Abantwana bezona ntsapho zihlwempuzekileyo eKabul baya kuba namathuba angcono ebomini ukuba bayakwazi ukufunda nokubhala. Ungaze ucinge ngokunyuka kwamanani obhaliso esikolweni ahlala ecatshulwa ngumkhosi wase-US njengezibonelelo zomsebenzi. I-CIA World Fact Book kaMatshi ka-2015 inika ingxelo yokuba i-17.6 % yabasetyhini abangaphezu kweminyaka eyi-14 bayakwazi ukufunda nokubhala; xa bebonke, kulutsha nakubantu abadala ngama-31.7% kuphela abangakwazi ukufunda nokubhala.
Emva kokwazi malunga neentsapho ezingama-20 abantwana babo abasebenza ezitratweni, ii-APVs zenze isicwangciso apho usapho ngalunye lufumana ingxowa yerayisi yenyanga kunye nesitya esikhulu seoli ukuphelisa ilahleko yemali yosapho ngokuthumela abantwana babo kwiiklasi ezingekho sikweni kwi-APV. kwiziko kwaye ulungiselela ukubabhalisela esikolweni. Ngokuqhubeka nokufikelela phakathi kweentlanga zase-Afghanistan ezinenkathazo, amalungu e-APV ngoku abandakanya abantwana abangama-80 esikolweni kwaye banethemba lokusebenzela abantwana be-100 kungekudala.
wonke uLwesihlanu, abantwana bagalela kwintendelezo yeziko baze ngoko nangoko benze umgca ukuze bahlambe iinyawo nezandla zabo baze baxukuxe amazinyo abo kumpompo osetyenziswa ngabantu bonke. Emva koko bakhwela izinyuko ukuya kwigumbi labo lokufundela elihonjiswe ngokuqaqambileyo baze bahlale phantsi xa ootitshala babo beqalisa izifundo. Abafundisi-ntsapho abathathu abangaqhelekanga, uZarghuna, uHadisa noFarzana, baziva bekhuthazekile ngoku kuba uninzi lwabantwana abangamashumi amathathu ananye ababefunda esikolweni kunyaka ophelileyo bafunde ukulesa nokubhala ngokutyibilikayo kwisithuba seenyanga ezisithoba. Ukulingwa kwabo ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo zokufundisa, kubandakanywa ukufunda komntu ngamnye, kuphumelela—ngokungafaniyo neenkqubo zezikolo zikarhulumente apho abafundi abaninzi bebanga lesixhenxe bengakwazi ukufunda.
Ngelixa ekhokela umboniso wabantwana abahlala ezitalatweni, uZekerullah, owayesakuba ngumntwana wasesitalatweni, wabuzwa ukuba uyaziva na uloyiko. UZekerullah wathi wayesaba ukuba abantwana baya kwenzakala xa ibhomu iqhuma. Kodwa uloyiko lwakhe olukhulu yayikukuba ukuhlwempuzeka kwakuya kubathwaxa ubomi babo bonke.
Lo myalezo wenkalipho novelwano awusayi—kwaye awunako—uhlala uphumelela. Kodwa ukuba siyayiqaphela, kwaye nangaphezulu, ukuba, ngokufunda kumzekelo wayo, sithatha inyathelo lokubonisa thina ngokwethu, ngoko isinika indlela yokoyika umntwana, ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka kwimfazwe, kwaye ngaphandle, mhlawumbi, ukubanjwa kwempambano yemfazwe. Thina ngokwethu sifika kwihlabathi elingcono kakhulu xa sizimisele ukulakhela abanye. Imfundo yethu, uloyiso lwethu phezu koloyiko, kunye nokufika kwethu njengoko silingana kwihlabathi labantu abadala, kunokuqala okanye kuqale kwakhona - ngoku.
Ngoko ke makhe siqale.
