Gamaal Al Attar,
Agasti, 2008, Gaza
Ilanga lalikhanya ngo-Agasti 23, 2008, futhi wonke umuntu eGaza wayevusa ukuze alungele iD Day. Kuyinto usuku wonke umuntu eGaza alinde isikhathi eside; usuku esizozizwa ngalo njengabantu bakhona emhlabeni abakhathalela ukuhlupheka kwethu. Usuku sizozwa ukuthi singabantu bomphakathi, futhi abafowethu nodadewethu ebantwini banakekela izinkinga zethu zansuku zonke. Ama-Scouts avela emaqenjini ahlukene a-scout ayebhalisele ukuba abe ekomidini elamukelekayo ezikebheni zokudoba. Ngakho-ke, sahamba ngqo esikebheni esikhulu saseGaza ku-08: i-00, futhi, kanye namapholisa abakhona ukuze sivikele izixuku, sagibela izikebhe futhi saqala uhambo olwandle.
Amahora okulinda ezikebheni enza wonke umuntu wagula olwandle, kwathi, emini enkulu, ithemba lethu lasuka nomoya. Kubukeka sengathi izikebhe ezimbili bezingafiki. Sikhuhluziwe. Onke amaphupho nemizwa yokuthi bekukhona umuntu obesinakekela iye incipha ngokuya kwesikhathi. UJamal El Khoudari (umxhumanisi womkhankaso) ukhulume esithangamini nabezindaba ukuthi izikebhe zalahleka zabeka izaba ezithile. Mina nabanye abahloli eGaza besingafuni ukulalela izaba. Abantu baseGaza babebafuna lapha manje.
Ukumomotheka okwakunezinwele zomuntu ngamunye ekuseni, abantu abajabulayo echwebeni elinde ekuphumeni kwelanga, nethemba lokubona umuntu ozosikhathalela lishintshe kakhulu. Emini, cishe wonke umuntu washiya leli dolobha futhi wabuyela ekhaya.
Akekho onakekela iGaza
Endleleni ebuyela ekhaya, ngabona iGaza libukeka limnyama kakhulu kunakuqala, kwehla unyembezi oluncane esweni lami. "Kubukeka sengathi akekho umuntu osikhathalelayo," kusho iscout somfana. Ngavula umlomo wami ukumtshela ukuthi lokhu kwakungelona iqiniso, kepha angitholanga gama engingalisho.
Njengawo wonke ama-scouts, ngaya ekhaya, ngageza, ngazama ukuphumula ngemuva kosuku olude ngaphansi kwelanga elisindayo. Sonke sasigula olwandle futhi sigula nasezinhliziyweni zethu. Ngangilala embhedeni wami ukuze ngilale futhi ngikhohlwe ngesintu. Ngabeka ikhanda lami emcamelweni wami ngacabanga. “Sisodwa, futhi akekho onendaba nathi.”
Kodwa izikebhe ziyafika
Ngemuva kwalokho umama weza ekamelweni lami emomotheka, ”uJamal, izikebhe ziyabonakala kumabonakude.” Kusho uMama. Ngakho ngigxume embhedeni wami ngambuza, "Nini?" Uthe, "Izindaba nje lezi." Angikhumbuli ukuthi kanjani, nini, noma kungani ngazithola ngisebhasini ngibuyela ethekwini nabahloli. Angikhumbuli ukuthi sikwazile kanjani ukuba ndawonye futhi siya ethekwini laseGaza. Sonke seqa sangena ezikebheni ezihlukene zokudoba saphinde sahamba olwandle oluvulekile.
Lapho, ngasekugcineni, ngabona izakhi ezintathu: Ukushona kwelanga okuhle, i-SS Liberty, kanye ne-SS IGaza yamahhala. Ngasempumalanga yePort, abantu abaningi baseGaza babuthana. Ngalesi sikhathi, ubuso babo obudabukile abukho. Sasizwa abantu behleka phezulu futhi bejabule njengoba behluleka ukubona izikebhe.
Emaminithini ambalwa, labo kithi emabhishi okudoba beza eduze kwe IGaza yamahhala, futhi ngabona ifulegi lokuthula elilenga, futhi uMaria Del Mar Fernandez ephakamisa ifulege lasePalestina futhi ememeza. Ngokungazelelwe, ngabona izingane eziningi zithatha ama-t-shirts yazo futhi zigijimela olwandle, zibhukuda ziya IGaza yamahhala. Isikebhe sami esincane sasisondeza eduze nezikebhe, futhi lapho izinyawo zami zithinta umkhumbi, kwangethusa. Ingqondo yami yaphunyuka njengoba ngikhohlwa konke ukuhlupheka okunye engangikuthola empilweni yami ngaphansi kokuvinjelwa kuka-Israyeli. Ngathuthela komunye umuntu owayezolile futhi kancane kude nayo yonke imidiya.
"Sawubona, wamukelekile eGaza." Ngasho ngimamatheka.
Ngaqhubeka ngiphinda la mazwi futhi ngithola injabulo ngokuzikhandla. Ngakolunye uhlangothi lwegumbi, ngabona umfana onama-Tattoos ezandleni zakhe kanye nekhanda elihle. '' Ungumthetheli? '' Ngangizibuza. Ngemva kokugubha isandla sakhe, ngaqhubeka ngikhuluma naye, futhi ngezikhathi ezithile, saba abangane. Wayeyindodana enhle yase-Italiya eyayihamba e-Italy efuna ubulungisa neqiniso ogama lakhe linguVittorio Utopia Arrigoni. Ngabelane naye ngefulegi lasePalestina, futhi saqala ukuhambisa ama-media kanye namashumi ezinkulungwane zabantu abaza ukubona izikebhe esitokisini sethu esincane.
Isikhathi esifushane, izikebhe zazungeza itheku; bese kuyisikhathi sokukhipha izikebhe nokubingelela izivakashi zethu emhlabeni eGaza. Thina ma-scouts sime ulayini sabingelela abasePalestine abasha ababeqhamuke emhlabeni wonke benomyalezo owodwa othi, “Stay Human”.
Ngeke ngikhohlwe zonke izandla ezincane nezinkulu ezaphuma ezixukwini ukuxhawula izishoshovu. Angikwazi ukukhohlwa indlela abantu ababeshuthuke ngayo ngemuva kwalolo suku olinde kakhulu ethekwini, kodwa futhi angikwazi ukukhohlwa umoya esixukwini ngemuva kokuthi lawo maqhawe ehlale ogwini. Ngiyakhumbula ngaya ekhaya ngalolo suku ngiphethe ibhethri elishajisiwe lempilo nethemba.
