Umhlaba ungangenyanga kude ne-PyeonChang 2018 yeeOlimpiki zasebusika eSouth Korea. Abahlobo bam eMzantsi Korea sele bathenga amatikiti kwimicimbi emininzi. Elithuba elihle njani lokuba abazali babhencise amakhwenkwe abo amabini ukubonisa izakhono zeembaleki kunye nokhuphiswano olunobuhlobo phakathi kwezizwe kumoya weOlimpiki.
Konke kulungile, ngaphandle koloyiko lwemfazwe yenyukliya ebangelwa ziinkokeli ezinganyanzelekanga eNyakatho Korea naseMelika. Iintetho ezinqabileyo zamva nje phakathi koMantla noMzantsi Korea kusinika ithemba lokuba umoya weOlimpiki ugqitha imidlalo kwezopolitiko. U-Pierre de Coubertin, umsunguli wemidlalo yeOlimpiki yale mihla ucatshulwe esithi "eyona nto ibalulekileyo ayisiyonto ukuphumelela, kodwa kukuthatha inxaxheba." Oku kubaluleke ngakumbi kungquzulwano olukhoyo phakathi kweNyakatho Korea neSouth Korea. Inxalenye ebaluleke kakhulu kukungavumi kuyo yonke into, kodwa ukuthetha.
IiOlimpiki zinika umzuzu okhethekileyo wokuphelisa ukungavisisani nokukhuthaza uxolo kwiPeninsula yaseKorea. Iintetho zokuqala sele kukhokelele kwizivumelwano zaseNyakatho Korea ukuthumela abathunywa kwiiOlimpiki, ukubamba intetho zokunciphisa uxinzelelo ecaleni komda, kunye nokuvulwa kwakhona kwenombolo yomkhosi. Naliphi na inyathelo elincinci elikude nokupheliswa kwemfazwe lifanelwe yinkxaso evela kuzo zonke izizwe nakuluntu. Iingcali zokuxazulula ukungaboni ngasonye zihlala zikhangela amathuba okuvuleleka kwiingxabano ezingenakusebenza ezifana nale. Amathuba okuxoxa ngokuthe ngqo phakathi kwamaKorea kufuneka kulungiswe ngokwenyani.
Okokuqala, abantu abangengabo abantu baseKorea mabavumele abaseKorea bathethe. AmaKorea ziingcali kwiminqweno yabo kunye neemfuno zabo. I-US ikakhulu kufuneka ithathe indawo yangasemva, isenza ukuba kuqhubeke ucoceko olukhokelwa yiKorea. Umongameli uTrump sele epeyile inkxaso, eluncedo kodwa lubuthathaka. Nge-titter enye yokulwa, uMongameli angawushenxisa wonke umzamo. Kubalulekile ke ukuba amaqela abameli boxolo, abezomthetho, kunye noluntu lwaseMelika bavakalise inkxaso yabo kwizithethi ngaphezulu kwemfazwe.
Okwesibini, kwanempumelelo ezincinci ziyinto enkulu. Imeko nje yokuba emva kweminyaka emibini yokungadibani, abathunywa abakumgangatho uphakamileyo bahlangana. Nangona kunjalo, eli asiloxesha lokulindela ukunyenyiswa okukhulu, njengaseNyakatho Korea ngequbuliso layeka inkqubo yayo yezixhobo zenyukliya.
Eli lixesha lokuvuma ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba zombini ii-Koreas ziye zaphuma ngempumelelo emfazweni, ezazinokuthi ziye zenyukliya ngokuzibandakanya kwe-United States. Olu luqalo lincinci sele linciphisile ukungavisisani kwangoko kunye neendlela ezivulekileyo zokuphucula ixesha elide malunga nemicimbi ebanzi enjeya iNyakatho Korea. Imikhosi yase-US evela kwingingqi, kunye nexesha elide imizamo yoxolelaniso phakathi kwala mazwe mabini.
Okwesithathu, lumkela abaphangi. Umlo waseKorea untsonkothile, unyamezelo kwaye uchukunyiswa ziingcinezelo kunye namandla endalo. Kuya kuhlala kukho abantu kunye namaqela azama ukuthoba amanyathelo awakhayo. Nje ukuba intetho yeKorea neKorea ichazwe, abagxeki bamtyhola uKim Jong-Un ngokuzama "Ukuqhuba umtshini phakathi kweSouth Korea kunye ne-US"Ukwenza buthathaka uxinzelelo lwehlabathi kunye nezohlwayo kumantla. Inkulumbuso yaseJapan uShinzo Abe kwaye Owayengunobhala Jikelele weZizwe eziManyeneyo u-Ban Ki-moon ukusuka eMzantsi Korea zoba umfanekiso we-North Korea eyingozi kwaye ufune ukuba i-denuclearization yeyona nto iphambili yokuthetha.
Imigaqo esisiseko yencoko yababini ephumeleleyo ibonisa ukuba ukuthetha ngaphandle kwemeko yeyona ndlela yokufumana ukuthambeka phakathi kwamaqela aphikisayo. Okokugqibela, inkxaso ekhoyo ngoku yencoko yabongameli bakaMongameli wase-US uTrump isenokungasebenzi nge-tweet. Asinakuyichitha into yokuba iNorth Korea enedemoni ibonelela ngokwahlukileyo kwindlela yokusebenza engentle kunye nokuvavanywa okuphantsi kwemigangatho. Kubalulekile ke ngoko ukuba ukhombise ngokuqhubekayo kumanyathelo amancinanana afanelekileyo nanika ithemba.
Akukho mntu usaziyo isiphumo samanyathelo amancinanana akhoyo kwaye ayakuba yintoni. Abaphangi abonakalisayo banokumangalela abaxhasi bezopolitiko ukuba banikezele ngesisa kwinkqubo yenyukliya yaseNyakatho Korea kunye nokuxhaphaza amalungelo abantu. Amanye amazwi aphakathi ngakumbi anokungavumi ukwamkela intetho njengesixhobo esisebenzayo sokunciphisa uxinzelelo lwangoku. Ukuphuma kwingxabano enkulu enjengale kuthatha ixesha elide kwaye amanyathelo amaninzi amancinci ayimfuneko ngaphambi kokuba nayiphi na imiba emikhulu iqwalaselwe. Iindlela zokuphazamiseka kufuneka zilindelwe. Yintoni ekufuneka icace gca, kukuba ixesha elide kunye nokungaqiniseki kozakuzo zihlala zikhetha ukoyikeka kwemfazwe.
Kunyaka ophelileyo, isongelo sikaMongameli uTrump "somlilo nengqumbo" kwiNyakatho Korea sibonisa ukwanda nje kwemfazwe. Iintetho phakathi kweKorea emibini kumxholo weOlimpiki zizinto ezilungileyo kakhulu kude nomlilo nobushushu nasekukhanyiseni okunethemba kwitotshi yeOlimpiki. Kwindlela yokulwa kwembambano, sijonga eyona nto ibalulekileyo-ngaba sihamba sinyukela kwinqanaba elitsha nangakumbi okanye ngaba sinyuka kwindlela eyakhayo ngolindelo oluqinisekileyo?
Bayeke amaKorea athethe. Njengesizwe i-US yenze umonakalo owoneleyo, njengamaMelika sinakho ukuqinisekisa ukuba ilizwe lethu liyayixhasa ngoku nangaphaya kweOlimpiki. Le mantra ifanele ikhalile ezindlebeni zamagosa ethu akhethiweyo: AmaMelika axhasa ubuzwe bokulwa. Emva koko ndingabaxelela abahlobo bam baseKorea ukuba sizamile ukuqiniseka ukuba amakhwenkwe abo akwishumi elivisayo angatyelela iMidlalo yeOlimpiki yasebusika aze abuyele esikolweni ngaphandle kokukhathazeka ngemfazwe yenyukliya.
