Kwakunamahlebezi edolobhaneni, phezulu ezintabeni zase-Afghanistan. Kwakukhona iStranger lapha. Wayenze umngani futhi wamenyelwa ukuba ayohlala ekhaya yize wayengeyena umndeni, yize engenabo ubuzwe noma inkolo yawo wonke umuntu owayengathenjwa.
AbakwaStranger babetholele umndeni imalimboleko encane ngaphandle kwenzalo futhi babasiza ekwenzeni isitolo. Wayeqashe izingane emgwaqweni. Manje izingane bezimema ezinye izingane ukuthi zizokhuluma neStranger ngokusebenzela ukuthula. Futhi babephuma ebunganeni, yize babengazi ukuthi “ukusebenzela ukuthula” kusho ukuthini.
Ngokushesha babezoba nomqondo othile. Abanye babo, okungenzeka ukuthi bebengakaze bakhulume nomuntu wobuzwe obuhlukile ngaphambili, bakha umphakathi ophilayo onezinhlanga eziningi. Baqale amaphrojekthi anjengokuhamba ngokuthula nababukeli bamazwe omhlaba, nokwakhiwa kwepaki yokuthula.
Umphakathi ubuzogcina usuthuthele enhloko-dolobha yaseKabul. Lapho babeyokwakha isikhungo somphakathi, bahlinzeke ngokudla, benze amathuba emisebenzi futhi baphange ama-duve, basize izingane ukuthi zithole imfundo, zisize abesifazane bathole inkululeko encane. Bakhombisa ukusebenza komphakathi wezinhlanga eziningi. Bazoncenga uhulumeni ukuthi avumele ukwakhiwa kwepaki yokuthula. Bazokwakha futhi bathumele izipho ezivela kubantu abasha bohlanga olulodwa kuya kumalungu akude eqembu elisesabekayo nelizondwayo kwenye ingxenye ye-Afghanistan, kwaba nemiphumela emangazayo kubo bonke abathintekayo.
Leli qembu lentsha lalizofundela ukuthula nokungathathi hlangothi. Bebexhumana nababhali kanye nabafundisi bezemfundo, izishoshovu zokuthula kanye nezabafundi emhlabeni wonke, imvamisa ngezingcingo zengqungquthela zevidiyo, nangokumema izivakashi emazweni abo. Bayoba yingxenye yenhlangano yokuthula yomhlaba wonke. Bazosebenza ngezindlela eziningi ukwenza umphakathi wase-Afghan kude nempi, udlame, ukucekelwa phansi kwemvelo, kanye nokuxhashazwa.
Le yindaba eyiqiniso elandisiwe encwadini entsha kaMark Isaac, Indlu Yokuthula yeKabul.
Ngenkathi uMongameli wase-US uBarack Obama enqoba impi e-Afghanistan futhi wanikezwa uMklomelo KaNobel Peace Prize, izishoshovu zokugcina ukuthula eziseKabul zadideka futhi zakhathazeka. Bamemezele futhi baqala ukuhlala ngaphandle kwamatende, okokugcina kuze kube yilapho u-Obama ephendula umyalezo ovela kubo ecela incazelo. Ngenxa yalokho, inxusa laseMelika e-Afghanistan lafika lahlangana nabo futhi laqamba amanga lathi lizowudlulisela umyalezo ku-Obama. Lowo mphumela uqhele ngamamayela ayisigidi ukusuka empumelelweni ephelele, kepha -manje asibhekane nakho - ngaphezu kwamaqembu amaningi okuthula ase-US ajwayele ukuphuma kuhulumeni wase-US.
Ukuthi iqembu labantu abasha e-Afghanistan, bethuswe impi, lapho bebhekene nosongo lokufa, ukushiswa kanye nobumpofu, lingadala umfutho wokwakha umphakathi ongenalo udlame kanye nemfundo yokuthula, bangaqala ukudala ukwamukelwa kwezenzo ezingezona ezokulwa, sisize abampofu, sithethelele abacebile, futhi sibambe iqhaza ekwakheni isiko lomhlaba wonke lobunye nokuthula kwabantu, kufanele siphonsele inselelo thina sonke ukwenza okungaphezulu.
Eminyakeni yamuva nje sesiqale ukubona imashi emikhulu e-Afghanistan elwa nempi. Kepha siyeke ukubabona eMelika. Esikudingayo, yiqiniso, ukubabona kuzo zombili izindawo, ngasikhathi sinye, ngobumbano, futhi ngezinga elikhulu kunalokho abantu abajwayele.
Izishoshovu zokuthula e-Afghanistan zidinga lokho kithi. Abayidingi imali yethu. Eqinisweni, wonke amagama, ngisho neqembu elihilelekile angama-pseudonyms e-Kabul Peace House. Kunokukhathazeka ngokuphepha kwalabo abavumele izindaba zabo siqu ukuba zibonakale ziphrintiwe. Kepha ngingakuqinisekisa ngokwazi kwami okuqondile ezinye zazo ukuthi lezi zindaba ziyiqiniso.
Sibonile izincwadi zezinganekwane zenkohliso ezivela e-Afghanistan, ezinjengeNkezo ezintathu zetiye. Abezindaba baseMelika bezinkampani bezithanda lezo zindaba, ngenxa yokwethembeka kwabo ebuthweni lezempi laseMelika kanye nezimangalo zobuqhawe baseNtshona. Kepha kuthiwani uma umphakathi ofundwayo ubengatshelwa ngezindaba ezingcono kakhulu ezibandakanya intsha yase-Afghan uqobo ekhombisa, ngezindlela ezinephutha kakhulu nokungapheleli, ukushayela okumangazayo kanye nabangaba ngabenzi bokuthula?
Yilokho abakudinga kithi. Badinga ukuthi sabelane ngezincwadi ezinjenge The Kabul Peace House. Badinga ubumbano obunenhlonipho.
I-Afghanistan idinga usizo, hhayi ngendlela yezikhali, kodwa usizo lwangempela olusiza abantu. Abantu base-Afghanistan badinga ukuthi amasosha ase-US naseNATO asuke, ayoxolisa, futhi afake izikhalazo ezibhaliwe eNkantolo Yezizwe Ezihlangene. Badinga ukuziphindisela. Badinga umbuso wentando yeningi kuzo zonke izinhlaka ezabiwe ngesibonelo sangempela emuva emazweni lapho abahlali bawo bavela khona, abangaqhamukiswanga kubo bevela kuma-drones, abangafakwanga ngendlela yama-NGOs akhohlakele.
Badinga thina sonke ukuthi sivuleleke ekufundeni esibonelweni sabo, ukuvuleleka okungazosebenza ekupheliseni isihluku sase-US sibheke e-Afghanistan.
