Ngelifa lomyeni wakhe obuleweyo, uhlala enebhongo. “Ndiziva ndinelunda, ndinebhongo kakhulu,” utshilo uJehan Sadat, owayesakuba liNenekazi lokuqala leRiphabhliki yase-Egypt. Engothuswanga, engazange oyikiswe kukubhengezwa kakubi, watsho ngaphandle kokurhoxa, “Batyhola umyeni wam ngokuba ngumngcatshi, kodwa akukho namnye owenza uxolo ngokuthe ngcembe kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo noSirayeli njengoSadat.”

Iimbumbulu zazinokuwukhupha umzimba wakhe ongenambumbulu ngevest-free ngomhla olusizi ngo-Okthobha ka-1981, xa uSadat wagwintwayo kumngcelele womkhosi wokukhumbula uloyiso lwemfazwe yase-Egypt ngo-1973. Akukho namnye owahlaba umphefumlo kaYehan. “Ndikunye nentsapho yam nezigidi zabantu, ndiyazingca ngento eyenziwe ngumyeni wam. Nkqu abantu, amazwe kunye neenkokheli zama-Arabhu ebezichasene naye ngoku zizuza ubulumko kwizinto aziphumezileyo kwiminyaka engama-27 kamva,” utshilo ebhekisa kwiinzame zakhe zokugcina uxolo.

Utshate nomongameli ongasekhoyo wase-Egypt uAnwar Sadat, uJehan uye waba litshantliziyo elizinikeleyo labasetyhini kunye nabahlelelekileyo. Uhamba phakathi kwe-Egypt kunye ne-US ekhuthaza iinjongo, ikhowudi iGosa laMahala uSadat lalihlala, ngoku livutha nzulu kumbindi weJehan. Ngexesha lika-Anwar, wabona ithuba lokuthatha inxaxheba ekukhuseleni amalungelo abasetyhini. “Umyeni wam wayengumthetheleli ongadinwayo wamalungelo abasetyhini, amandla kunye nendawo yakhe efanelekileyo ekuhlaleni. Ukuba abafazi bebefundile kuphela, ukuba abafazi bebenokunceda amadoda akhe olo luntu lufanelekileyo, ihlabathi beliya kufezeka. Ukuba isiqingatha soluntu asenzi nto, ixesha liya kuma ngxi kuluntu.

Hlola uluntu olunenkqubela kunye nemigangatho yokuphila ekumgangatho ophezulu, kufuneka ujonge kuphela iindima ezidlalwa ngabasetyhini ukuchaza impumelelo kuluntu. Leyo yinkolelo yam – isizathu sokuba ndisebenzele ukuphakanyiswa kwabasetyhini,” utshilo.

Owafumana imbasa yeLiving Legacy enqweneleka kakhulu kwiZiko laManina laMazwe ngaMazwe, uNksk. Sadat wenze umzekelo wethemba ngemfundo nangona ubudala. Njengobungqina, naye wabuyela esikolweni eneminyaka engama-40. “Ndaphumelela eyunivesithi ndaza ndaqhubeka ne-MA yam. Emva kweminyaka eyi-6, bendinePHD yam. Imfundo ivula iingcango ezininzi zokuba umntu asebenze phantse kuyo yonke indawo. Ukuba andizange ndibe nemfundo efanelekileyo, ngendingazange ndifundise e-Egypt nase-States. " Namhlanje, ubamba ukhenketho lwezifundo kwihlabathi liphela ukusuka eYurophu, ukuya eAsia naseRussia exhaswa zizithuba zokufundisa zangaphambili kwiYunivesithi yaseCairo apho wayekhe wangunjingalwazi ngelixa esebenza njengeNenekazi lokuQala.

Kwintetho eyathethwa ngokubanzi, “Ndikholelwa ukuba abafazi banokudlala indima ebhetele ekusasazeni uxolo. Abafazi ngoomama abaxolelanisa abantwana xa besilwa ngezinto ezingenamsebenzi okanye abafazi beme ecaleni kwabayeni babo ngamaxesha embandezelo. Ndiyakholelwa kwindima eyodwa yowesifazane owenza iinkokeli ezinkulu kumadoda namakhwenkwe. Udlulisela ulwazi kunye neyona migaqo ilungileyo ebutsheni bakhe ukususela ebuntwaneni ukuya ekubeni ngumntu omkhulu. Ke ngoko abasetyhini akufuneki bathathele ingqalelo indima yabo eluntwini njengendalo okanye ilungelo elizenzekelayo, kodwa banike ingqwalasela kwisiqinisekiso apho imfundo ingundoqo. Ndiyaphupha ukubona abantu basetyhini kwilizwe ngalinye befunde kakhulu.”

Ukufuna ukufunda nokubhala yinto uNjingalwazi Sadat ayilangazelelayo kumntu wonke. “Akukho xesha lide! Luhambo olude, olude olufanele ukulinda,” watsho umenzi woxolo ngokwakhe.

Ukuba bekufanelekile ixesha, bekufanelekile umzamo wokubonisa amanye amanenekazi okuqala iprofayile yakhe njengomfazi womongameli. I-African-Arab Women's League yokuqala yayiyenye yemibutho eliqela awayibeka njengenenekazi lokuqala. Ukuhlanganisa abafazi bokuqala baseAfrika kunye nama-Arabhu, kunye nama-2 okanye ama-3 abasetyhini abakhutheleyo ekuhlaleni, wabamba iinkomfa ezinkulu apho babelane khona kwaye bafunda kumava omnye nomnye. Ukuncedana, ukwakha umanyano phakathi kwe-Egypt, i-Afrika kunye namanye amazwe ase-Arab yayiyinjongo yam, ukuqonda ukuba abafazi abahluphekileyo kulo lonke ummandla banemiba efanayo malunga nokufunda, imfundo, imali kunye nekamva labantwana. UNksz Sadat wathatha amaLadies kwizinto zakudala eYiputa, ukuhamba ngenqanawa kwiNayile kunye nakwiitempile ezininzi zamandulo. Okubuhlungu kukuba, akukhange kubekho lulandelelo ukusukela oko walishiya iBhotwe. Emva kokufa kukaMongameli Sadat, iiprojekthi zakhe ezibizwa ngokuba yi-Made in Egypt kunye namanye amanyathelo awakhokelayo ngaphambi kokuba umyeni wakhe asweleke athathwe ngumlandeli wakhe uNksz Suzanne Mubarak.

UJehan uye waqhubela phambili kwaye kamva wabeka umbono kwimfundo. “Bendifundisa kwiYunivesithi yaseCairo ngexesha lomyeni wam. Kamva ndafudukela eWashington, DC ukuya kufundisa.” Abantwana babekwiajenda ephambili kaSadat, enabakhe abathathu nabazukulwana abali-11. Iilali zaBantwana zeSOS zaqalwa ngexesha likaSadat emva kohambo oluya eOstriya. Iilali yayilikhaya leenkedama ngokomlinganiselo omkhulu. “Ndithabathekile emva kokuchitha usuku nabantwana apho, kwaye ndinethemba lokuba ndingenza okufanayo eYiputa, ekugqibeleni ndaqiniseka ukuba kufuneka ndiqhubele phambili.”

Ukuqala isisa kubafazi, abantwana okanye ulutsha eYiphutha kufuna ukuba umntu ahlawule imali encinci kwisiza, malunga nedola ngehektare. USadat wayenomhlaba. UGqr. Kamaina owasungula iilali zase-Austria wambiza ukuba enze iiprojekthi ezifanayo eYiphutha, ukuba unokwabela umhlaba kwiSOS. UKamaina wamnikezela ngeprojekthi; ukusukela ngoko ilali yayiphantsi kwayo. “Umyeni wam wamisela ilali yokuqala eCairo. Kamva, ndakha esinye eTanta phakathi kweCairo neAlexandria kunye nesiza sesithathu eAlexandria. Andinakuxelela ukuba batshintshe kangakanani na abantwana abafike bexhwalekile ekuqaleni bakhula besempilweni bonwabile,” wongeze watsho.

Ngokungafaniyo nalo naliphi na elinye ikhaya leenkedama, ilali yayinomfanekiso 'womama' onoxanduva lwabantwana aba-6 ukuya kwabasi-7 abavela kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo. Ilali nganye yayinamakhaya angama-25 phantsi komnakekeli 'oqeqeshiweyo' okanye umama ozimeleyo. Eyodwa kwi-set-up, abahlali bajongeka njengentsapho enye enkulu, eqhelekileyo, eyonwabileyo. Oomama 'ababeza kuba ngummeli' babedla ngokupheka baze bahlambele abantwana abaya kufunda kwisikolo sabantwana abancinane okanye kwizikolo zikarhulumente baze emva kwemini bafumane umzi abanokubuyela kuwo. Lilonke, liphindaphinda umoya wothando lomama nosapho, ukuphakamisa imigangatho yobomi kwabasetyhini kwiidolophu ezikude,” uqinisekisile uSadat.

UWafa wal Aamal (okanye uFaith and Hope ngesiNgesi) lisisa uNksk. Ebandakanyeke kwimfazwe phakathi kweYiputa noSirayeli, wenza icebo elikhulu. “Kwanangaphambi kokuba umyeni wam aqalise ukwenza uxolo ukuze aphelise imfazwe, ndazibandakanya namagqala emfazwe akhubazekileyo nabemi. Bendifuna ngokwenene ukubuyisela ithemba kubantu bakowethu ngokuqeqesha abo banqunyulwe imilenze ukuze bafumane imisebenzi, ngokubavumela ukuba babuyele ekubeni ngamalungu akhutheleyo oluntu.”

Ukuqhuba kwakhe emva koFaith kunye neThemba kususela ekuqeqesheni amagqala angathathi ntweni ukuzama ukuzimanya kwakhona noluntu ngombono wengomso. “Yayiyeyona projekthi yam inkulu kwabo bangathathi ntweni. Ndabathumela kwiinkampu zabantu abaneziphene eJamani; emva koko babebuyela eYiputa. Senza utyelelo lotshintshiselwano sibathumela kwizibhedlele zethu apho. E-Egypt, siye savula iziko lokucofa igazi kunye nomzi-mveliso wokwenziwa kweeprothetics. Iprojekthi ekufutshane neSOS Village ithathe iqhezu lomhlaba weSOS ukuze kuhlaliswe amakhaya abantu abakhubazekileyo, indawo yemisebenzi yangaphakathi nangaphandle kunye neyunithi ezinzileyo yolawulo lwezonyango. Ndade ndazisa uFrank Sinatra eYiputa kwikonsathi ephuma kwi-SOS kunye neWafa wal Aamal, zidibene. "

Emva kokuba lizibonele ngokwalo iinkxwaleko zemfazwe, eli nenekazi lilungileyo, nelinokwindla kunye nemithombo lichithelwa kwikhaya lalo lesibini kwi-Great Falls ephefumlayo eVirginia, liwuthatha njengento ebaluleke kakhulu umba woxolo. Wathi, “Abafazi banokudlala indima ecaleni kwabayeni babo nenzala yabo. Banike ithuba lokujonga phambili, banokuphumelela idabi lokuphelisa imfazwe nobundlobongela. ”
