2046 - ITurkey, isifundazwe saseSirnak, izintaba zeHakkari eduze nomngcele wase-Iraq

Lo mhlaba wake waba muhle. Izintaba ezimbozwe yiqhwa. Izigodi eziluhlaza. Mina nobaba, uDemir, sasihamba ngezinyawo ezintabeni zaseHakkari cishe njalo ebusika. Ozakwethu ababehamba ngezinyawo bebesixoxela ngezindaba zamasiko ahlukene, ezithinta amagquma aseYurophu kanye nePacific Crest Trail yaseNyakatho Melika.

Manje izintaba zazingenalutho, kushisa kakhulu ukuba iqhwa lingakheka ngisho nasebusika. Imifula yomile futhi izihlahla ezimbalwa ezisele zagawulwa zaba yizinkuni yisitha esimi phambi kwethu. Iminyaka eyisishiyagalombili, i-Iled i-Hakkari Mountain Warfare kanye ne-Commando Brigade. Siyagada lesi sifunda, kodwa kule minyaka emine kuphela kuye kwadingeka ukuthi simbe okuningi njengoba sinakho. Amadoda ami abekwe ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene zokubuka nasemakamu akhiwe ekujuleni kochungechunge lwezintaba ze-Hakkari ohlangothini lwaseTurkey lomngcele. Ama-drones ethu andiza anqamule isigodi, athwebula izindawo ezikude kakhulu ukuthi singaziqapha ngenye indlela. Ngesinye isikhathi, umsebenzi wethu wawumane uwukulwa nezidlamlilo ezihlaselayo nokubamba umgqigqo namaKurds, manje sisebenzisana namaKurds ukuze sibambe usongo olukhulu nakakhulu.

Ababaleki base-Iraqi abangaphezu kwesigidi balinda esigodini esingezansi, ngasohlangothini lwabo lomngcele. Abanye eNtshonalanga bathi kufanele sibavumele bangene, kodwa thina sazi kangcono. Ukube bekungengenxa yamadoda ami kanye nami, laba babaleki kanye nezakhi ezeqisayo phakathi kwabo bebezonqamula umngcele, umngcele wami, futhi balethe isiphithiphithi nokuphelelwa ithemba kwabo emazweni aseTurkey.

Esikhathini esingangonyaka ngaphambili, ngoFebruary inani lababaleki anda lafinyelela cishe ezigidini ezintathu. Kwakukhona izinsuku lapho sasingakwazi nhlobo ukubona isigodi, ulwandle lwezidumbu nje. Kodwa ngisho nalapho bebhekene nemibhikisho evala izindlebe, imizamo yabo yokumasha bewela umngcele wethu, sabavimba. Iningi lasishiya isigodi laya entshonalanga lizama ukunqamula eSyria, kodwa lathola izimpi zaseTurkey eziqaphe umngcele osentshonalanga. Cha, iTurkey ngeke idliwe. Ngeke futhi.

"Khumbula, Sema, hlala useduze nami futhi uphakamise ikhanda lakho ngokuziqhenya," kusho ubaba, ngenkathi ehola ababhikishi abangabafundi abangaphezu kwekhulu ephuma e-mosque yase-Kocatepe Cami ebheke e-Grand National Assembly yaseTurkey. "Kungase kungabi njalo, kodwa silwela izinhliziyo zabantu bakithi."

Kusukela ngisemncane, ubaba wafundisa mina nabafowethu abancane ukuthi kusho ukuthini ngempela ukumelela umbono omuhle. Impi yakhe yayingeyenhlalakahle yalabo babaleki ababalekela amazwe ahlulekile eSyria nase-Iraq. 'Kuwumsebenzi wethu njengamaMuslim ukusiza amaSulumane esikanye nawo,' ubaba wayesho, 'Ukuwavikela ezinxushunxushwini zomashiqela kanye namaqaba angontamo-lukhuni.' Uprofesa wezomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe eNyuvesi yase-Ankara, wayekholelwa emibonweni yenkululeko intando yeningi etholakalayo, futhi wayekholelwa ekwabelaneni ngezithelo zaleyo mibono nabo bonke ababeyilangazelela.

ITurkey ubaba akhulele kuyo yayinezimiso zakhe. ITurkey ubaba akhulela kuyo wayefuna ukuhola izwe lama-Arab. Kodwa lapho intengo kawoyela yehla.

Ngemva kokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, kwaba sengathi umhlaba unqume ukuthi uwoyela uwubhadane. Phakathi neminyaka eyishumi, izimoto eziningi emhlabeni, amaloli, nezindiza zazisebenza ngogesi. Njengoba singasancikile kuwoyela wethu, isithakazelo somhlaba esifundeni sashabalala. Alubange lusaba usizo olwangena eMpumalanga Ephakathi. Ngeke kusaba nokungenelela kwezempi yaseNtshonalanga. Ngeke kusaba usizo lwesintu. Izwe layeka ukukhathalela. Abaningi bakwamukela lokho ababekubona njengokuphela kokugxambukela kwaseNtshonalanga ezindabeni zama-Arab, kodwa akuphelanga sikhathi ngaphambi kokuba amazwe ama-Arabhu aphinde acwila ogwadule.

Ilanga elikhipha umkhovu etsheni lomisa imifula futhi lenza kwaba nzima ukutshala ukudla eMpumalanga Ephakathi. Izingwadule zasakazeka ngokushesha, azisabanjwa izigodi eziluhlaza, isihlabathi sazo saphephuka ezweni. Ngokulahlekelwa kwemali ephezulu kawoyela esikhathini esidlule, amazwe amaningi ama-Arab awakwazanga ukuthenga ukudla okwakusele emhlabeni emakethe evulekile. Izibhelu zokudla zaziqhuma yonke indawo njengoba abantu belambile. Ohulumeni bawa. Izibalo zabantu ziwohlokile. Futhi labo ababengabanjwa izinhlu ezikhulayo zabashisekeli babaleka enyakatho benqamula iMedithera banqamula eTurkey, iTurkey yami.

Ngosuku engamasha ngalo nobaba kwakuwusuku iTurkey yavala ngalo umngcele wayo. Ngaleso sikhathi, ababaleki abangaphezu kwezigidi eziyishumi nanhlanu baseSyria, Iraqi, Jordanian, kanye nabaseGibhithe base bewelele eTurkey, bedla izinsiza zikahulumeni. Njengoba izilinganiso zokudla ezinzima sezivele zikhona ezindaweni ezingaphezu kwengxenye yezifundazwe zaseTurkey, izibhelu zokudla ezivamile ezisongela omasipala bendawo, kanye nezinsongo zokujeziswa kwezentengiselwano ezivela kwabaseYurophu, uhulumeni akakwazanga ukuzifaka engozini yokuvumela abanye ababaleki ukuba badlule imingcele yakhe. Akwehlanga kahle lokhu kubaba.

“Khumbulani, nonke,” ubaba ememeza ngenxa yezimoto ezimemezayo, “abezindaba bazosilinda lapho sifika. Sebenzisa imisindo esiyizwile. Kubalulekile ukuthi ngesikhathi sokubhikisha kwethu abezindaba babike umlayezo ongaguquki ovela kithi, yindlela esizokhuluma ngayo, ngaleyo ndlela sizoba nomthelela.” Iqembu lajabula, liphakamisa amafulegi alo aseTurkey futhi liphakamisela phezulu izingqwembe zalo zokubhikisha.

Iqembu lethu limashele ngasentshonalanga ku-Olgunlar Street, licula iziqubulo futhi lihlanganyela enjabulweni yomunye nomunye. Sake sadlula emgwaqweni uKonur, iqembu elikhulu lamadoda elaligqoke izikibha ezibomvu laphendukela emgwaqweni ongaphambi kwethu, lihamba libheke ngakithi.

“Kapteni u-Hikmet,” kumemeza usayitsheni u-Hasad Adanir, njengoba ephuthuma endaweni ewubhuqu eya endaweni yami yomyalo. Ngahlangana naye endaweni yokubuka. "Ama-drones ethu abhalisa ukwanda kwezishoshovu eduze kwendawo edlula intaba." Wanginika isibonakude sakhe futhi wakhomba ezansi kwentaba enhlanganweni yesigodi phakathi kweziqongo ezimbili, ngaphesheya nje komngcele wase-Iraq. "Laphaya. Uyakubona? Okumbalwa kokuthunyelwe kwamaKurdish abika umsebenzi ofanayo ohlangothini lwethu olusempumalanga. "

Ngicofa ukudayela kwe-binocular, ngisondeza endaweni. Impela, kwakunamasosha okungenani angamashumi amathathu ayegijima entubeni yentaba ngemva kwekamu lababaleki, ezivikele emadwaleni nasemihubheni yezintaba. Iningi laliphethe izibhamu nezikhali ezizenzakalelayo ezisindayo, kodwa ezimbalwa zazibukeka sengathi ziphethe iziqhumane zamarokhethi nemishini yodaka eyayingase ibe usongo endaweni yethu yokubheka.

"Ngabe ama-fighter drones asekulungele ukwethula?"

"Zizofika emoyeni emizuzwini emihlanu mnumzane."

Ngiphendukele emaphoyiseni angakwesokudla. “Jacop, ndiza indiza engenandiza ibheke kuleso sixuku sabantu. Ngifuna baxwayiswe ngaphambi kokuthi siqale ukudubula.”

Ngaphinda ngabuka izibonakude, kukhona okwakubonakala kucishiwe. “Hasad, ukubonile okuthile okuhlukile mayelana nababaleki namuhla ekuseni?”

“Cha mnumzane. Ubonani?"

“Awukutholi kuyinqaba ukuthi iningi lamatende ehlisiwe, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yalokhu kushisa kwasehlobo?” Ngemba izibonakude ngaphesheya kwesigodi. “Izimpahla zabo eziningi zibonakala zigcwele. Kade behlela.”

"Uthini? Ucabanga ukuthi bazosiphuthuma? Sekuyiminyaka kungenzeki lokho. Babengeke balokothe!”

Ngiphendukele eqenjini lami elingemuva kwami. “Yazisa ulayini. Ngifuna ukuthi wonke amaqembu abheke ukuthi alungiselele izibhamu zawo ezidubulayo. Ender, Irem, thintana nomphathi wamaphoyisa e-Cizre. Uma ekhona edlula, idolobha lakhe lizoheha iningi labagijimi. Hasad, uma kwenzeka, thintana nomyali ophakathi, ubatshele ukuthi sidinga iqembu lamabhomu elindiza liphume lapha ngokushesha. ”

Ukushisa kwasehlobo kwakuyingxenye ekhathazayo yalesi sabelo, kodwa emadodeni amaningi, adubula labo ababephelelwe yithemba ngokwanele ukuba banqamule indawo yethu. umngcele—abesilisa, abesifazane, ngisho nezingane—wawukhona ingxenye enzima kakhulu yomsebenzi.

“Baba, lawo madoda,” ngidonsa ihembe lakhe ukuze ngibambe ukunaka kwakhe.

Iqembu elibomvu lasikhomba ngezinduku nezinsimbi, lase liqala ukuhamba ngokushesha libheke ngakithi. Ubuso babo babubanda futhi bubala.

Ubaba wamisa iqembu lethu lapho ebabona. "Sema, hamba uye ngemuva."

“Kodwa baba, ngiyafuna- ”

“Hamba. Manje.” Wangihlehla. Abafundi abaphambili bangidonsa ngemuva kwabo.

“Professor, ungakhathazeki, sizokuvikela,” kusho omunye wabafundi abakhulu ngaphambili. Amadoda aleli qembu aphusha indlela yawo eya phambili, ngaphambi kwabesifazane. Phambi kwami.

“Cha, wonke umuntu, cha. Ngeke sisebenzise udlame. Akuyona indlela yethu leyo futhi akukhona lokho engikufundise khona. Akekho okumele alimale lapha namuhla.”

Iqembu elaligqoke izingubo ezibomvu lasondela futhi laqala ukusithethisa: “Amambuka! Awasekho ama-Arab!Yizwe lethu leli! Goduka!"

“Nida, shayela amaphoyisa. Uma sebefikile lapha, sizobe sisendleleni. Ngizosithengela isikhathi.”

Ephikisana nokuphikisa kwabafundi bakhe, ubaba wahamba waya phambili wahlangana namadoda abomvu.

Ama-drones agadayo azulazula phezu kwababaleki abaphelelwe yithemba olwandle phakathi nobude obugcwele besigodi esingezansi.

“Kapteni, uyaphila.” U-Jacop unginikeze imakrofoni.

“Nakani izakhamizi zase-Iraq kanye nezifunda zase-Arab ezisemngceleni,” izwi lami laduma ezikhulumini zama-drones futhi lananela kulo lonke uhla lezintaba, “siyazi ukuthi yini oyihlelayo. Ungazami ukweqa umngcele. Noma ubani odlula umugqa womhlaba ohangukile uyodutshulwa. Lesi isexwayiso sakho kuphela.

“Kumasosha acashe ezintabeni, unemizuzu emihlanu yokubhekisa amabombo eningizimu, ubuyele ezweni lase-Iraq, noma-ke ama-drones ethu azokushaya.-"

Inqwaba yemizuliswano yodaka idutshulwe ngemuva kwezinqaba zase-Iraqi. Baphahlazeka ebusweni bentaba ngasohlangothini lwaseTurkey.Olunye lwashaya eduze nendawo yethu yokubuka, lunyakazisa phansi ezinyaweni zethu. Amadwala ayena amawa angezansi. Amakhulu ezinkulungwane zababaleki ababelindile aqala ukugijimela phambili, ehalalisa kakhulu ngawo wonke amagxathu.

Bekwenzeka njengakuqala. Ngashintsha umsakazo wami ukuze ngishaye umyalo wami wonke. “Lona uCaptain Hikmet kuwo wonke amayunithi kanye nomyalo wamaKurdish. Khomba ama-fighter drones akho ngokumelene nezidlamlilo. Ungabavumeli badubule olunye udaka. Noma ubani ongashayeli i-drone, qala ukudubula phansi ngaphansi kwezinyawo zabagijimi. Kuzothatha imizuzu emine ukuthi bawele umngcele wethu, ngakho banemizuzu emibili yokushintsha imiqondo yabo ngaphambi kokuthi ngikhiphe umyalo wokubulala.”

Amasosha ayengizungezile agijimela onqenqemeni lomqaphi futhi aqala ukudubula izibhamu zawo zokudumba njengoba ayeyaliwe. U-Ender no-Irem bebefake imaski yabo ye-VR ukuze bashayele ama-fighter drones njengoba bezungeza phezulu bebheke lapho bebehlose khona eningizimu.

“Hasad, aphi amabhomu ami?”

Ngilunguze ngemuva komunye wabafundi, ngabona ubaba ekhipha imibimbi ejazini lakhe lezemidlalo njengoba ezolile ehlangana nomholi osemncane wamahembe abomvu ekhanda. Waphakamisa izandla, wakhipha izintende, engasabi.

“Asifuni nkathazo,” kusho ubaba. “Futhi asikho isidingo sobudlova namuhla. Amaphoyisa asesendleleni. Akukho okunye okudingekayo kulokhu. ”

“Hhawu, mbuka! Hamba uye ekhaya uthathe izithandwa zakho zama-Arab. Ngeke siphinde sivumele amanga enu enkululeko abe yingozi kubantu bakithi.” Amahembe abomvu akanye nalo mlisa ajabule ayeseseka.

“Mfowethu silwela into eyodwa. Sisobabili-"

"Ake uhlukane nami! Kunodoti okwanele wama-Arabhu ezweni lethu, othatha imisebenzi yethu, udla ukudla kwethu. ” Amahembe abomvu ahalalisa futhi. "Ugogo nomkhulu bashona belambile ngesonto eledlule ngesikhathi ama-Arabhu eba ukudla endaweni yangakubo."

“Ngiyaxolisa ngokulahlekelwa kwakho, impela. Kodwa isiTurkey, isi-Arabhu, sonke singabazalwane. Sonke singamaSulumane. Sonke silandela iKoran futhi egameni lika-Allah kufanele sisize amaSulumane esikanye nawo aswele. Uhulumeni ubeqamba amanga kuwe. AbeLungu bayawathenga. Sinomhlaba owenele, ukudla okwanele wonke umuntu. Simashela umphefumulo wabantu bakithi mfowethu.”

Kwakhala izinhlabamkhosi zamaphoyisa ziqhamuka ngasentshonalanga njengoba esondela. Ubaba wabheka kumsindo wosizo olusondelayo.

“Professor, qaphela!” kumemeza omunye wabafundi bakhe.

Akazange ayibone induku izulazula ekhanda lakhe.

“Baba!” Ngikhalile.

Abafundi besilisa bagijimela phambili bagxumela emahembeni abomvu, belwa nabo ngamafulegi nezimpawu zabo. Ngalandela ngigijima ngibheke kubaba owalala wabheka phansi eceleni komgwaqo. Ngakhumbula indlela ayesindwa ngayo lapho ngimjikisa. Bengilokhu ngibiza igama lakhe kodwa angaphenduli. Amehlo akhe acwebezela, wabe esevala umoya wakhe wokugcina.

“Imizuzu emithathu, mnumzane. Amabhomu azobe elapha emizuzwini emithathu.”

Kwaqhuma izibhamu ezengeziwe ezintabeni eziseningizimu, kodwa amasosha ayesemva kwawo athuliswa ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho njengoba ama-fighter drones ededela amarokhethi awo nesihogo somlilo esiyi-laser. Ngaleso sikhathi, ebheka phansi esigodini esingezansi, isibhamu esiyisixwayiso sasihluleka ukwethusa izigidi zababaleki ezazigeleza ngasemngceleni. Base bephelelwe ithemba. Okubi nakakhulu, babengenakulahlekelwa lutho. Ngikhiphe umyalelo wokubulala.

Kwaba khona umzuzu wokungabaza womuntu, kodwa amadoda ami enza njengoba ayeyaliwe, adubula abagijimi abaningi ngangokunokwenzeka ngaphambi kokuba aqale ukudubula ezindleleni zezintaba ngasohlangothini lwethu lomngcele. Ngeshwa, ama-snipers angamakhulu ambalwa awakwazanga ukumisa umfudlana wababaleki ongaka.

"Hasad, nikeza ithimba leqembu lamabhomu ukuthi liqhume ngamabhomu esigodini."

"Kapteni?"

Ngaphenduka ngabona ubuso bukaHasan besaba. Ngangikhohliwe ukuthi wayengekho enkampanini yami okokugcina kwenzeka. Wayengeyona ingxenye yokuhlanza. Akazange ambe amathuna amaningi. Akabonanga ukuthi sasingalwela nje ukuvikela umngcele, kodwa ukuvikela umphefumulo abantu bakithi. Umsebenzi wethu kwakuwukukhipha izandla zethu igazi ukuze abantu baseTurkey abavamile bangaphinde babe nakho ukulwa noma ukubulala umTurkey wakubo ngento elula njengokudla namanzi.

“Nikeza umyalo, Hasad. Batshele ukuthi bathungele lesi sigodi ngomlilo.
