Ukubhala kule veki yeChicago Tribune, uSteve Chapman wabiza ingxelo kaRhulumente wase-US ngemfazwe yase-Afghanistan "ingxelo yezinto ezingento. ” "Umhloli Jikelele woKwakha ngokutsha iAfghanistan" umbiko Uthi i-US ichithe iindleko ezinkulu "ekufuneni ukuzuza okukhawulezayo" ekuzinzileyo kwesithili - kodwa ezikhundleni "zandisa iimbambano, zenza inkohlakalo kwaye zomeleza inkxaso yabantu abavukelayo."
"Ngamafutshane," kusho u-Chapman, urhulumente wase-US "wenza izinto zibe zibi kunokuba zibe ngcono."
Ukuzuza, okwangoku, ngokuqinisekileyo kwenziwe ngabenzi bezixhobo. Ngokomndilili, ngexesha lokuqala kukaTrump e-ofisini, iPentagon yaphosa iibhombu ezili-121 ngosuku e-Afghanistan. Inani lilonke le izikhali Imijukujelwa, iibhombu - ezithunyelwe eAfghanistan ziinqwelomoya ezilawulwa ngabantu ezikude ngoMeyi kulo nyaka Qi kelelwa kwi2,339.
Abaxhamli bemfazwe bahambisa iinyani zelihogo kunye namathemba amampunge, kodwa amaVolontiya oxolo e-Afghan khange anikezele ekwenzeni ngcono ilizwe labo. Kutyelelo lwakutsha nje eKabul, simamele njengoko bejonga umbuzo wexesha elide wokuba uxolo lunokuza njani kwilizwe elonakele ngokwezoqoqosho apho ingqesho yeenkosi ezahlukeneyo zemfazwe, kubandakanya imikhosi yase-US kunye ne-Afghan, kuphela kweendlela ezininzi zokubeka isonka kwitafile. UHakim, ocebisa ii-APVs, usiqinisekisa ukuba uxolo oluhlala luhleli kufuneka lubandakanye ukudalwa kwemisebenzi kunye nemivuzo ngethemba lokugcina uluntu. Ngokuphefumlelwa ngu-Mohandas Gandhi ubizo lokuzanelisa, kunye nomzekelo we-Pashtun ally, u-Badshah Khan, bayayilwa imfazwe ngokukhuthaza imfundo kunye nokudala ookopolotyeni bendawo.
UMiriam ngumfundi kwisikolo i-APVs “Street Kids 'School,” esilungiselela abantwana ukuba baqhubeke nesikolo ngelixa benceda iintsapho zabo ukuba zihlale zisemxholweni ngemali yerayisi neoyile. Ehleli nam egadini ye-APVs 'Borderfree Centre, umama wakhe ongumhlolokazi, uGul Bek wandixelela ngobunzima ajongene nabo njengomama ongenaqabane wabantwana abahlanu.
Nyanga nganye, uyasokola ukuhlawula amanzi, irente, ukutya kunye nepetroli. Kwiminyaka ethile edlulileyo, inkampani yafaka umbhobho wamanzi okhokelela ekhayeni lakhe, kodwa inyanga nenyanga ummeli ovela kwinkampani uza kuqokelela i-700- 800 Afghanis (malunga ne- $ 10.00) ukuhlawulela ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi kosapho. Umzi ohlwempuzekileyo-nokuba unganasiphithiphithi semfazwe- awunakuyigcina ngokulula i- $ 10. Uzama kanzima ukugcina. “Kodwa kufuneka sinamanzi!” Utsho uGul Bek. Sifuna ukuyicoca, ukupheka nokuhlamba impahla. ” Uyayazi ukuba lubaluleke kangakanani ucoceko, kodwa akoyiki ukuya kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwamanzi. UGul Bek woyika ukuba angagxothwa ukuba akakwazi ukulawula irente. Ngaba angaya kwinkampu yeembacu eKabul? Unikina intloko. Ndibuze ukuba urhulumente uyanceda na. "Abazi nto malunga nendlela esiphila ngayo," utshilo. “Ekuqaleni kweRamadan, besingakwazi nokufumana isonka. Besingenawo umgubo. ” Oonyana bakhe ababini abadala, abaneminyaka eli-19 neli-14 ubudala, baqala ukufunda izakhono zokuthunga kwaye baya esikolweni ithutyana. Ndambuza ukuba ukhe acinge ukuba ngabavumela ukuba bajoyine umkhosi okanye amapolisa ukuze bafumane okuthile kufutshane nomvuzo wokuphila. Wayengagungqi. Emva kokusebenza nzima kangaka ukukhulisa aba nyana, akafuni kuphulukana nabo. Akabavumeli ukuba baphathe imipu.
Ukundwendwela inkampu yababaleki iintsuku ezimbalwa emva koko, ndandimqonda ukuthuthumela kwakhe. Iinkampu zixinzeleleke, zidaka, kwaye ziyingozi. Umdala ovela kwinkampu, uHaji Jool, wayephathwe izihluthulelo kwigumbi lokulawula umthombo onokuthi ifakwe ii-NGOs ezinje. Ngaloo mini, iiplavines zazingasebenzi. I-200 yeentsapho ze-700 kwinkampu incike kuloo mthombo ngamanzi. Ndakhangela ubuso obunxunguba besetyhini ababesalinde, ukusasa ekuseni, ukuqokelela amanzi. Baya kwenza ntoni? UHaji Jool wandixelela ukuba ininzi yeentsapho zavela kwimimandla yasemaphandleni. Babalekela amakhaya abo ngenxa yemfazwe okanye ngenxa yokuba babengenamanzi. Izakhiwo zeHabul ezihlasekileyo, kwiimfuno ezidityanisiweyo zokubuyiswa kwe-US kwiminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu yemfazwe, akakwazi ukuxhasa abantu.
Abahlobo bethu be-APV, beqaphela imfuneko yokudala imisebenzi nemali, baye baqala ukuhamba phambili ngomsebenzi onomdla wokuseka amaqabane. Ekuqaleni kukaJuni, baqalise ukusebenzisana kwee-shoemaking, ezikhokelwa ngabafana abathathu, u-Hussein noHosham, abaye baqeqeshwa kwaye bafundise izakhono zabo kwiNoorullah. Baqamba i-store yabo "Eyingqayizivele." I-co-op yokuchwela ngokukhawuleza iza kukhawuleza kwaye isebenze.
I-APV inombulelo kubantu abaninzi bamazwe aphesheya abathi, kubusika obudlulileyo obathandathu, bancede iprojekthi yabo yonyaka "yeDuvet Project" ukuzisa iingubo ezifuneka kakhulu kubahlali baseKabul abaswele ukhuseleko kwimozulu embi yasebusika. "Iprojekthi yeDuvet" inikele ngengubo zasebusika kwiintsapho ezingama-9,000 ezihlwempuzekileyo eKabul kwaye inikezele ngengeniso yasebusika kubantu abaninzi abangama-360. Nangona kunjalo, i-APV iye yasokolisana nesicelo esingapheliyo esivela koomatshini bokuthunga abathi, ngelixa bebulela iprojekthi yonyaka, bavakalise isidingo sabo esinzima sengeniso unyaka wonke.
Kulo nyaka, i-APV isenza intsebenziswano yabathungi eya kuthi ivelise iimpahla unyaka wonke kwintengiso yasekhaya engabizi kwaye izakusasaza iiduvethi.
I-US inamandla amakhulu avela esibhakabhakeni sase-Afghanistan, isisa isihogo somlilo ngamaxesha amaninzi. Indawo yoKhuseleko kunye neziseko zayo zomkhosi, ngaphakathi naseKabul, zikunceda ukukhupha itafile yamanzi ngokukhawuleza kunokuba imbiwe. Iyaqhubeka ibangela intiyo nokwenzakalisa. Okwangoku, kunokuvakala ngathi yinto nje, kodwa ekucingeni ilizwe elingcono abahlobo bethu abancinci bayanceda ekwakheni enye. Ngeeprojekthi ezizinzileyo zokuxhasa abasweleyo, bamkela ukwala kukaGul Bek ukusebenzisana nemfazwe. Izenzo zabo ezilula, ezincinci do yomeleza iKabul. Bazinikela kwiimfesane, ukomeleza abamelwane babo. Batyala imbewu enokuthi ikhule okanye ingakhuli ehlathini apho - basebenzisa, endaweni yokuchitha, amandla abanawo. Abanikwa mbuyekezo ngokuphumelela kwe-titanic yokuba babumbe kwaye bonakalise ilizwe, kodwa endaweni yoko ngeenjongo zokumisa umjikelo wemfazwe onqabileyo kunye nokuxhathisa abakhohlakeleyo abazama ukoyisa. Thina kwiiVoices sinombulelo ngeli thuba, kunye nabo, lokwala ukuphelelwa lithemba. Ukuxhasa iiprojekthi zabo, sinokwenza imbuyekezo, nokuba incinci kangakanani, ekuqhubekekeni kokulwa kwemfazwe.
