#Konele! IFatima idinga ukutya kunye nonyango olufanelekileyo, hayi imfazwe!
Kabul-Kwiintsuku ezithile ezidlulileyo, kwindawo IZiko lase-Afghan Peace Volunteers' Borderfree Centre, ndadibana noJamila, umama wentombazana encinane, uFatima, owayeze kwi Isikolo saBantwana esitalatweni, inkqubo eyenzelwe ukunceda abantwana abasebenza ezitratweni baye esikolweni. UJamila, umama oselula wabantwana abasixhenxe, uyancuma kwaye ahleke ngokulula, nangona ejongene neemeko ezimaxongo apha eKabul.
Kwiminyaka elithoba eyadlulayo, eneminyaka eyi-19, wabaleka ungquzulwano olwalukhula ePul e Khumri, ekwiphondo elisemantla eBaghlan, wafudukela eKabul. UJamila wayesele etshatile kangangeminyaka eli-12.
Intsapho yakowabo, eyayifuna umvuzo, yayimthengise ngomtshato kwindoda endala xa wayeneminyaka esixhenxe ubudala. Esengumntwana, wayehlala ekhonza kwintsapho yalowo wayeza kuba ngumyeni wakhe, efumana umvuzo omncinane kubo ngokuthunga nokuhombisa.
Xa wayeneminyaka eyi-13, wazala intombi yakhe endala. Kunye naye ukudibana kwethu kwakukho iintombi zakhe ezimbini eziphakathi, uFatima noNozuko. Intombi yakhe endala ayisekho kuye, njengoko, ineminyaka eyi-12, yanikezelwa, kwiminyaka emithandathu eyadlulayo ngoku, emtshatweni. UJamila uzimisele ukuba angaziniki iintombi zakhe eziseleyo emtshatweni ngoxa besengabantwana.
Kunyaka onesiqingatha eyadlulayo, uFatima, owayeneminyaka esi-9 ngoko, waba nomkhuhlane owathatha isithuba esingangenyanga. Onke amalungu akhe omane enza imilwelwe. Kwisibhedlele saseWazir Akbar Khan, oogqirha bathi wayekude nemizuzu eli-10 ekufeni. Bamnyanga i-typhoid meningitis baza bamlalisa esibhedlele. Emva kwenyanga, oogqirha bathi akakakulungeli ukukhutshwa, kodwa uJamila wayenabanye abantwana ekufuneka abahoye kwaye wayesele enamatyala amakhulu. Oogqirha bamenza ukuba asayine iphetshana elibonisa ukuba abanaxanduva ukuba uFatima ufile. Bathe uJamila kufuneka aqhubeke nokutofa kabini ngemini amayeza okubulala iintsholongwane ezinamandla.
Emva kokuba ephumile esibhedlele, uFatima waqhubeka efumana inaliti unyaka onesiqingatha de, ngenye imini, malunga neenyanga ezintathu ezidlulileyo, uJamila wayeka ngequbuliso ukunika uFatima iinaliti. Xa uFatima waba nomkhuhlane, uJamila waphinda woyika.
Ekugqibeleni uFatima waphelela kwisibhedlele sabucala ovavanyo lwaso lokuqala lwaxabisa i-3,000 Afghanis (malunga ne-50 yeedola zase-US). UJamila ucele imali mboleko kudade wabo, umalume wakhe kunye nabazala bakhe ukuba ahlawulele iimvavanyo zaselebhu.
Oogqirha baxelela uJamila ukuba uFatima ufuna iinaliti kuba iintsholongwane zetyphoid zazisegazini lakhe.
Ngeli xesha, uJamila, ejongene netyala le-140,000 Afghanis (malunga ne-$ 2333 yeedola zase-US), ufumanisa kunzima ukulala, exhalabele uFatima kunye nabanye abantwana bakhe. Uza kuwahlawula njani amatyala akhe? Unokuwuthenga njani umgubo wokwenza isonka ukuze abantwana batye?
Ekuphela kwendlela afumana ngayo umvuzo kukuhlamba iimpahla. Abantu abahlamba iimpahla bathi amaxesha anzima, kwaye abanayo nayiphi na ingeniso ngokwabo. Baye bamhlawula kabini kuphela kwezi nyanga zimbini zidlulileyo, kanye ngenyama nerayisi.
UFatima kwindlu yakhe yodaka, kunye noAli,
utitshala weVolontiya loXolo wase-Afghan oncede uFatima ukuba afumane uvavanyo lwezonyango olululo
UJamila wadibana namaVolontiya oXolo e-Afghan xa uHadisa no-Abdulhai bemtyelele kwikhaya lakhe ngo-Epreli kulo nyaka njengenxalenye yophando olwenzelwe ukuchonga abantwana abanokuthatha inxaxheba kwiSikolo seSitrato saBantwana. Xa u-Ali, utitshala olivolontiya kwiSikolo saBantwana baseSitalatweni, wafunda ngokugula kukaFatima, wazisa uJamila kuHakim, umcebisi wamaVolontiya oXolo e-Afghan. U-Hakim ngugqirha ovela eSingapore. Ukusukela ngo-2004, xa wayeqala ukusebenza e-Afghanistan, u-Hakim uye waqaphela ukuba inkqubo yokhathalelo lwempilo yelizwe igcwele izenzo zorhwaphilizo. Ekhwankqisiwe ziidosi ezinkulu zamayeza okubulala iintsholongwane amiselwe uFatima, u-Hakim uncome uhlalutyo lwesampulu yesitulo olunokuthi lwenziwe kwilebhu yesibhedlele sasekhaya. Ingxelo yelebhu ibonise ukuba uFatima akasayidingi amayeza okubulala iintsholongwane, ukuba imeko yakhe yezonyango yayiqhelekile.
Inkqubo yezonyango e-Afghanistan ayiphumelelanga ukunceda uJamila noFatima. Ukungaqwalaseli kwavumela oogqirha abonakeleyo kunye noosokhemisti ukuba banike amayeza okubulala iintsholongwane ngokugqithisileyo, kwaye uJamila wayengenandawo yokujonga uluvo lwesibini okanye naluphi na uncedo. Abaxhaphazi ababawayo, ekuthiwa banikezela ngokhathalelo lwempilo, ngokuthe ngcembe bathatha imali kubantu abaphelelwe lithemba, njengoJamila, behlawula unyango olungenamsebenzi okanye olubulalayo.
UJamila noFatima bayamthemba ngokucacileyo uHakim. Bobabini babonakala bekhululekile njengoko wayekhuthaza umama nentombi ukuba boyise uloyiko ngempilo kaFatima. Uxelele uFatima ukuba ungomelela kwaye ahlale esempilweni ngokusela amanzi acocekileyo kunye nokutya okusempilweni, kuquka izitya azithandayo zeembotyi kunye neeertyisi zamantshontsho. Kodwa uJamila ujongene nenye ingxaki yempilo elusizi – akakwazi nokuthenga umgubo wesonka, singasathethi ke ngeembotyi ezinesondlo kodwa ezibiza imali eninzi kubantwana bakhe.
IWorld Food Programme kutshanje iye yanikela ingxelo nge ukunyuka okothusayo kokungakhuseleki kokutya, kulo lonke elaseAfghanistan.
I-US igalela iibhiliyoni zeedola kuphononongo lwe-Afghanistan, ibhabha iPredator drones phezu kwezixeko, iidolophu kunye neendlela, ibanga ukuqonda ngcono "iindlela zobomi" e-Afghanistan. Kodwa inkqubo yemfazwe imisela iindlela ezibuhlungu zokufa, ubuhlwempu, ulwazi olungachananga, ukungakhuseleki nokuphelelwa lithemba okuqhubekayo. Ukuba wayenokuzibaleka iimeko zakhe, ngokuqinisekileyo uJamila wayeya kufuna indawo yokusabela kwenye indawo emhlabeni. Kodwa akanayo indawo yokujikela kwaye akukho ndawo anokuzimela kuyo kwiPredators kufutshane nakude.
Abantu abancinci bahlanganisana kwiZiko lase-Afghan Peace Volunteer's Borderfree Centre ixesha elide lokwamkela abantu abaninzi abathwaxwa yimfazwe ababelana ngeengxaki zikaJamila ezibonakala zingenakunyibilika. Ngokucinga, ngononophelo, baye baqulunqa iphulo abalibizayo #Konele! - umnxeba olula kodwa onyanzelisayo wokuphelisa iimfazwe kwaye endaweni yoko usebenze ukuhlangabezana neemfuno zabantu. Sabuza uJamila ukuba ucinga ukuba iingxaki zakhe zinento yokwenza nemfazwe. “Ewe, | uthe. “Imfazwe ikhokelela kubuhlwempu yaye ngenxa yobo buhlwempu ndiye ndaneengxaki ezininzi. Ndiyathemba ukuba imfazwe iza kuphela ukuze ndifumane ukutya okwaneleyo.”
