Isifiso esilula sokukhululeka ekulimaleni akuyona into esiyinikwa sonke ngalesi sikhathi. Akubona sonke esikhululekile esibophweni sokuhlanganyela ezenzweni ezilimaza nabanye. Akuwona wonke umuntu onekhono lokukhetha ukuphila ezweni lanamuhla. Imiphakathi yonke yabantu igxile ezenzweni zezempi kanye nokusabalala okusheshayo kwemizwa ebasekelayo. Izizwa i-claustrophobic kithina abafuna ezinye izindlela zokuxazulula izingxabano nabafisa ukubalekela umjikelezo ovamile wokuhlasela nokuziphindiselela. Kuba nzima ukukhuluma ngokubaluleka nobungcwele bempilo yomuntu ngamunye lapho nsuku zonke silahlekelwa abantu ngamakhulu empini. Nokho, ngenxa yalezi zizathu, kungase kubaluleke kakhulu ukusho esingakusho ukuze sisekele wonke umuntu olungele ukubeka phansi isikhali sakhe noma owenqaba ukukhetha esisodwa kwasekuqaleni.

Kukhona ilungelo lokwenqaba ukuya empini ngenxa kanembeza enkonzweni yezempi etholakala emalungelweni abantu omhlaba wonke eya enkululekweni yokucabanga, kanembeza, neyenkolo noma yezinkolelo. Kokubili i-Ukraine neRussia, kanye neBelarus, zikhona njengamanje imikhawulo eminingi ezingavumeli noma zilinganisele kakhulu ilungelo lezakhamuzi zazo lokwenqaba ngenxa kanembeza ngokusekelwe ezinkolelweni zazo. Njengamanje, iRussia iqoqwa ngenkani futhi amadoda ase-Ukraine aphakathi kweminyaka eyi-18 kuya kwengama-60 akhona abavunyelwe ukuphuma ezweni kusukela ngoFebhuwari walo nyaka. Womathathu la mazwe anezinyathelo eziqinile zokujezisa labo ababalekela ukubuthelwa empini kanye nenkonzo yezempi. Abantu babhekene neminyaka yokugqunywa ejele kanye nokuntuleka kwezinqubo ezizimele kanye nezinhlaka ezingabavumela ukuba benqabe ukuhlanganyela empilweni yezempi ngokusemthethweni nangaphandle kokubandlululwa.

Ngaphandle kokuma kwethu ezenzakalweni zase-Ukraine, sonke singafuna ukuba nekhono lokunquma ukuthi impilo yethu kufanele ibe yini enkonzweni. Ziningi izindlela zokufaka isandla enhlalakahleni yemindeni yethu nemiphakathi yethu, kanye nomhlaba wonkana, kuhlanganisa nesimo sempi. Ukuphoqa abantu ukuthi bathathe izikhali balwe nomakhelwane babo akuyona into okufanele ihlale ingabuzwa. Singahlonipha ukuzimela kwawo wonke umuntu ukuthi azikhethele ukuthi uzosabela kanjani esimweni esinzima kangaka. Wonke umuntu ongasindiswa ekulahlekelweni izimpilo zethu enkundleni yempi angaba umthombo wezixazululo ezintsha kanye nemibono emisha. Noma yimuphi umuntu onikeziwe angase asisize sithole izindlela ezingalindelekile zokudala umphakathi onokuthula, ongakhethi, onozwela otholwa futhi ojatshulelwa yibo bonke.

Yingakho ngingathanda ukwabelana nawe nge isikhalazo ecela isivikelo nesiphephelo kwabahlubukayo nalabo abenqaba ukuya empini ngenxa kanembeza baseRussia, e-Ukraine naseBelarus. Isicelo sizosekela isikhalazo esiya ePhalamende LaseYurophu esichaza ukuthi lesi sivikelo singanikezwa kanjani. Isimo sokukhoseliswa singanikeza ukuphepha kubantu abathile abaphoqeleka ukuthi bashiye amazwe abo okuzalwa ngokukhetha ukungalimazi futhi bangalinyazwa. Njengoba abadali besicelo besho, "ngesiginesha yakho, uzosiza ukunikeza isikhalazo isisindo esidingekayo". Izodluliselwa ePhalamende LaseYurophu eBrussels ngoSuku Lwamalungelo Abantu ngoDisemba 10.

Ngiyohlala ngibonga ingunaphakade kulabo kini abazocabanga ukwengeza igama lakho kuyo.
