Emva kokufumana ukungaziwa ngenxa yazo zonke izizathu ezingalunganga, iColombia ngumhlaba olinde ukufunyanwa kwakhona lihlabathi liphela.
Ukusuka kwingqele ehlaziyayo yekomkhulu iBogota ukuya kunxweme olubhudlwe ngumoya waseBarranquilla ukuya eCartagena enomphunga, eshushu kunye nazo zonke ezinye iindawo eziphakathi, iColombia izele ngumtsalane kunye nezinto ezothusayo, ngokukhawuleza ishiya ngasemva ixesha elibi elibeke ilizwe kwindawo entle. phezulu kwiingcebiso zokuhamba.
Ngoku, ikhokelwa liqela labaqeqeshi abancinci kwi-Proexport Colombia, i-ofisi yorhwebo karhulumente enoxanduva lokuthumela ngaphandle, ukhenketho kunye notyalo-mali, iColombia inyanzelela iindwendwe ukuba zize kuzibonela ngokwazo, kubandakanya neCaribbean quintet-onesibindi sakho. Intatheli ye-Express ibimenywe kuhambo loonondaba kwinyanga ephelileyo ukuba ijonge ezimbalwa kwiikhosi zegalufa ezingama-50 ezithe saa kwindawo yesine ngobukhulu eMzantsi Melika.
Kodwa nangona usikelelwe ngezifundo ezininzi ezigqwesileyo kunye nezinye izinto ezinomtsalane ezahlukeneyo, kubandakanya iemeralds kunye negolide, eyona ndawo ithengisa kakhulu eColombia ngabantu bakhe abanobuhlobo bokwenyani abenza konke okusemandleni abo ukuze uzive wamkelekile.
Ngaphambi kokuba ndifike apho, i-Colombian yokuqala endadibana nayo kwinqwelomoya ye-Copa Airlines esuka ePanama kwaye ngaphandle kokukhuthaza ukuba waqala ukuthengisa indawo yakhe yokuzalwa, awayezidla ngayo kwaye wayengenakulinda ukubuyela kuyo.
UWilliam lipolisa elineminyaka engama-26 ubudala lase-Ibague eTolima owayesekhefini emva kweenyanga ezininzi esebenza nombutho ogcina uxolo weZizwe eziManyeneyo eHaiti, ejonge ngolangazelelo ukubona intombi yakhe, eyayibhiyozela usuku lwayo lokuzalwa lwesibini ngosuku olulandelayo, NgoJulayi 29.
Ejonge kwifestile yendiza, wabonisa iindawo ezininzi zokugcina izityalo apho zikhula khona iintyatyambo, eziye zafumana imali eninzi yaseColombia, kwaye wagxininisa ukuba kufuneka ndizame ikofu, apho iColombia ingumvelisi wesibini omkhulu eMzantsi Melika emva kweBrazil. , UJuan Valdez uphakathi kwamagama adumileyo.
Kodwa kulo lonke uhlobo lwakhe oluhle kunye nolwazi, uWilliam uhlala ekhumbula imihla yobumnyama yelizwe lakhe, xa kwakuphantse ukuba umnqweno wokufa ukuya apho.
Kwingalo yakhe yasekunene i-intshi ezintandathu eshiywe yimbumbulu kumlo womlilo kunye nama-guerrillas e-FARC abaye balwa norhulumente waseColombia amashumi eminyaka, iminyaka engama-45 ukuba ibe ngqo, apho babejongene nokubulala kunye nesiphithiphithi kunye nokuthunjwa okungenakubalwa. , kunye nabathinjwa abambalwa abasesekuthinjweni.
Ixesha likaWilliam leminyaka esixhenxe kwinkonzo yamapolisa lingqamana nexesha likamongameli wama-39 waseKholombiya, uAlvaro Uribe, oye waqalisa ukwanda komkhosi ngokuchasene neFARC (iRevolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) emva kwezivumelwano ezininzi ezingaphumelelanga kunye nothethathethwano olulahliweyo. Ubanga ukuba abavukeli, abathi ngamaxesha athile bawele umda ukuya e-Ecuador engummelwane bebaleka imikhosi karhulumente, ngoku bavalelwe kwindawo encinci esemazantsi elizwe.
Oko kwaqinisekiswa kusuku olulandelayo yingxelo ye-CNN eyathi iFARC, eyaqala njengengalo yomkhosi weQela lamaKomanisi kwaye ithathwa njengeqela labanqolobi, ngoku inani lamalungu amalunga ne-10,000, iqaqobana phakathi kwabemi baseColombia abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-40. Ukuya kuthi ga kwiiveki ezimbini ezidlulileyo, i-Associated Press (AP) yaxela ukunikezelwa kwabanqolobi abaliqela, uninzi lwamaIndiya omthonyama.
UWilliam uthe ulawulo luka-Uribe luye lwakhuthaza amafama asemaphandleni ukuba anciphise intsimi ye-coca-umthombo we-cocaine, esinye isizathu sodumo olubi lwaseColombia. Abavelisi beCoca banikwa ezinye izityalo ukuba balime, kodwa imbuyekezo kwezo zinto azinambuyekezo njengaleyo bebeza kuyifumana kwi-coca enengeniso, ngoko ke abasemagunyeni kusafuneka bajongane noko kwaye balungise indlela yokuthomalalisa.
Ewe, awunakukhankanya i-cocaine kunye ne-Colombia ngaphandle kokuvuselela isiporho sika-Pablo Escobar, eyona nkosi yeziyobisi idume kakubi kwihlabathi eyabulawa ngumkhosi wase-US oqeqeshelwe umsebenzi wase-Colombia kuphahla lwe-Medellin ngo-1993.
Ngokutsho kweWikipedia, ekuphakameni kwamandla obukumkani bakhe ngo-1989, imagazini yeForbes yaqikelela ukuba uEscobar yindoda yesixhenxe kwezona zityebi emhlabeni enobutyebi bomntu obuzibhiliyoni ezi-4 zeedola, ngelixa inqwelo yakhe yaseMedellin yayilawula i80 pesenti yentengiso yecocaine yehlabathi.
Kwiminyaka elishumi elinesithandathu emva kokufa kwakhe, abantu baseColombia abahamba phesheya basakhunjuzwa ngokubulala kuka-Escobar kwaye kufuneka bajongane nelifa lakhe lokulutha naphi na apho baya khona, kunye nesibetho se-FARC, ekwakusithiwa usebenze kunye nenethiwekhi yakhe yeziyobisi.
Kodwa iColombia yanamhlanje ineminye imiba esengqondweni yayo kwaye izinto ezifana nepolisa eligcina uxolo uWilliam kunye nabameli beProexport benza konke okusemandleni abo ukomeleza umfanekiso welizwe labo elinyeliswe kakhulu, ekuphela kwelizwe eMzantsi Melika elijongene neCaribbean. Ulwandle kunye noLwandlekazi lwePasifiki kwaye lungaphantsi kweeyure ezine ukusuka eTrinidad, ngenqwelomoya edibanisayo ePanama, eyayiyinxalenye yeColombia de kwangowe-1903.
“Sifuna ukutshintsha indlela abantu abacinga ngayo ngeColombia,” utshilo uJuan Sebastian Bargans Ballesteros, oneminyaka engama-25, osebenze neProexport Colombia unyaka kwaye ujongene nokukhuthaza kulo lonke elaseMzantsi Melika.
UJuan noogxa bakhe, kuquka uAndres, uCesar, uAna Maria, uDarwin noJorge, babengabona bamkeli zindwendwe nabanobubele kutyelelo lwethu lweentsuku ezintandathu, olwalunohambo oluzele luhambo olwalunokuthabatha iiveki ezimbini.
Yaqala eBogota, ikomkhulu laseColombia eliphithizelayo elasekwa ngo-1538 kwaye ngoku lilikhaya labemi abazizigidi ezisixhenxe, isixeko esinezakhiwo eziphakamileyo phakathi kweemyuziyam zamandulo kunye nezakhiwo zobukoloniyali, apho usenako ukubona iinqwelo ezitsalwa ngamahashe ecaleni kwetrafikhi yeyure.
I-Bogota ihleli phezu kwethafa eliziimitha ezingama-8,500 phezulu kwiiNtaba zeAndes kwaye ithemometha idipha ukuya kutsho malunga neqondo elisibhozo ngokukaCelsius, ke hamba nejezi yakho. Iqondo lobushushu nalo longeza kwimvakalelo yalo yaseYurophu.
Indawo yethu yokuqala yokumisa yayiyi-Country Club de Bogota, apho uluntu oluphezulu ludlala igalufa kunye nentenetya kwaye lutshiza kwindawo yokuqubha eshushu ngexabiso le-US$250,000 yobulungu bobomi. Kodwa, into efanayo naphi na apho besisiya khona eColombia, nokuba sisityebi okanye sihlwempuzekile, bonke bancuma kwaye basibulisa njengabahlobo abalahlekileyo.
Ngolo busuku bangoLwesithathu, siye satya kwenye yezona ndawo zokutyela zidumileyo eBogota, eHarry's, apho ndiye ndanolonwabo lokungcamla ikeyiki yetshokholethi ethi “el mejor” yedizethi kwaye yaphila ngokwentlawulo. Emva kwesidlo sangokuhlwa, sahamba sijikeleza iplaza edlamkileyo, sidlula kwiibhari kunye neeklabhu ezizaliswe ngabantu ababedanisa ubusuku bonke, ngelixa i- peloton yabakhweli beebhayisikile abancinci babedanyaza bedlula kwaye i-hucksters eqhubekayo izama konke okusemandleni abo ukusithengisela ubucwebe, iiwotshi, iintyatyambo okanye iilekese.
NgoLwesine ekuseni siye saqhuba malunga nemizuzu engama-40 ngaphandle kweBogota, kunye neendawo ezintle ezijikeleze ikona, ukubona iikhosi ezimbini, okwesibini, iClub El Rincon de Cajica, ibambe iNdebe yeHlabathi yeGalufa ye-1980 kwaye ineflegi yaseTrinidad neTobago phakathi kwabaninzi. abanye bejinga kwi clubhouse.
UJuan ubonise ukuba iinduli ezijongene neClub El Rincon, enobulungu obukhethiweyo malunga ne-350 ehlawula i-US $ 35,000 ukujoyina kunye ne-US $ 600 ngenyanga, yindawo yezindlu ezibiza kakhulu eColombia.
Ekubuyeleni kwethu eBogota ngaloo ngokuhlwa saya ngqo kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya sase-El Dorado ukuze sibambe inqwelomoya yemizuzu engama-30 ukuya eBucaramanga, apho ngenxa yokulibaziseka asizange sifike kwihotele yethu de kwasemva kwasezinzulwini zobusuku. Kodwa isiselo sesiselo sasimahla sasinzima kakhulu ukuba singaxhathiswa nguFeliksi, onenkqubo yegalufa yeveki nganye kamabonwakude kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseDominican, uCatherine, intatheli eneHole In One Golf News ePuerto Rico, mna kunye nathi saphunga iiglasi ezimbalwa zaseCuba. Ukhululekile kwibha yehotele ngelixa ujonge ikonsathi eqaqambileyo enamagcisa aseLatini uJuan Luis Guerra, uRuben Blades kunye noRoby Draco Rosa.
Ngamazwi abo okuqonda-enkosi kwimibhalo engezantsi yesiNgesi ngokuqinisekileyo-ndiye ndahlala ndicinga ukuba owethu uDavid Rudder unokungena kanye nabo, abonwabisi abaphumelele ibhaso abaqhagamshelwe kuLwandle lweCaribbean.
Kwisithuba nje seeyure ezine sasiphumile kwaye malunga nentsasa yangoLwesihlanu, sisiya e-Ruitoque Golf Country Club, ikhosi eyilwe nguJack Nicklaus engaphezulu kweenyawo ezingama-5,000 eAndes kwaye ibonakalisa iimbono eziphefumlayo phantse kuwo wonke umngxuma.
Wathi akuva ukuba ndivela phi, umphathi jikelele weqela, uMauricio Ulloa Diaz, wabuza ngobudlelwane bukaTrinidad kunye neTobago kunye neVenezuela, uMongameli uHugo Chavez wakhumbula unozakuzaku wakhe osuka eBogota kusuku olungaphambili, emva kwezityholo ezenziwa yiColombia malunga neVenezuela ukubonelela iFARC ngezixhobo.
“Asinangxaki naye. Sishiya uChavez ukuze akusokolise,” ndaqhula, waza uMauricio waphendula wathi: “Nabanye abantu.”
Inkokeli yaseVenezuela enesandla esinzima, ekwacatshukiswa sisicwangciso sika-Uribe sokuvumela i-United States ukuba ithumele imikhosi yase-US kwiziseko zomkhosi e-Colombia, ithathwa njenge-buffoon ngabantu abaninzi baseColombia. Kukho iingoma kunomathotholo ezihlekisa ngaye, uJuan usixelela ukuba oku kwakumalunga nesihlandlo sesihlanu uChavez eqhawule ubudlelwane bezopolitiko.
IColombia-ikwaphawulwe ngemveliso yayo yezolimo, kubandakanya iibhanana, umbona, iitapile, irayisi kunye neswekile-ibonelela iVenezuela ngokutya kwayo okuninzi kwaye le yokugqibela iya kubandezeleka ngakumbi kuyo nayiphi na ingxabano, kungoko uChavez ehlala esenza uxolo ngokukhawuleza nommelwane wakhe. ukuya entshona kunye namaKholombiya awamthathi nzulu kakhulu.
Ke besinezinto ezingcono ekufuneka siziqwalasele kunoChavez otshaja kakhulu, njengamaziko egalufa abalaseleyo kubantwana kuzo zonke izifundo esizindwendweleyo, iColombia iza kuvelisa enye iCamilo Villegas, enye yabadlali begalufa abashushu, abancinci kwi-PGA yase-US. Ukhenketho kunye naphakathi koonyana neentombi ezidumileyo zelizwe, kunye nemvumi enomtsalane uShakira, umbhali ophumelele iBhaso leNobel uGabriel Garcia Marquez, kunye nomqhubi womdyarho uJuan Pablo Montoya.
