ILebhanon ibiza eli xesha labakhenkethi basehlotyeni lelona liphumeleleyo. Iindwendwe zathontelana ukuya kwiklabhu yaseLazy B uspcale beach ephethwe nguGeorges Boustany. Kodwa ukuthontelana kuye kwacinezela iziseko zophuhliso lwesizwe ezibuthathaka zemfazwe kangangokuba ekupheleni kuka-Agasti, uLazy B wayefumana kuphela malunga neeyure ze-12 zombane ngosuku, kwaye emva koko i-voltage yayiphantsi kakhulu kangangokuba iBoustany yanyanzeliswa ukuba iyandise nge-diesel-fueled. ijenereyitha. Iklabhu ibixhomekeke kwiqula labucala kuba amanzi etephu ebengathembekanga. “Ekuphela kwento esebenzayo yifowuni,” utshilo uBoustany ecaphukile.
Ihlobo ezintathu emva kwemfazwe phakathi kwe-Israel kunye neqela lamaSilamsi i-Hezbollah yashiya imimandla ye-Beirut ingamabhodlo kwaye abakhenkethi bezama ukungena emdeni, iiklabhu zaselwandle, iivenkile ezinkulu kunye neendawo zokutyela zaphinda zagcwala. Isihlwele sasiquka abantu abaninzi ababebuyela eLebhanon; abakhenkethi abavela kummandla wePersian Gulf abatsalwe kumoya wenkululeko waseBeirut, ubomi bobusuku obupholileyo, kunye nemozulu epholileyo; kunye nabafuna i-adventure baseYurophu naseMelika.
Kodwa iingxaki zeziseko ezingundoqo ezibangelwe sisijikelezo sogonyamelo noxolo esinamashumi eminyaka ubudala esizweni, kunye nokudodobala kwezopolitiko, zazibonakala. Ilizwe eliqhwalelayo, elahluleleneyo, eliye lasokola ukubonelela ngeenkonzo ezisisiseko kubemi balo abazizigidi ezi-4 ukusukela oko kwabakho imfazwe yamakhaya ekhohlakeleyo yeminyaka eli-15 ngowe-1990, ngequbuliso kwafuneka ukuba lingenise iindwendwe eziqikelelwa kwizigidi ezibini ekupheleni kwalo nyaka, ngaphezu koku. isiqingatha sesigidi kwirekhodi yangaphambili ye-2 yezigidi ngowe-1.4.
Isiphumo ibe kukucinywa kombane ixesha elide, ukunqongophala kwamanzi, kunye nokuvalwa kwetrafikhi okusingela phantsi umfanekiso wokungakhathali wesizwe kwaye kucothise amanye amacandelo ezoqoqosho, nanjengoko ixesha lonyaka laliphela kwinyanga engcwele yamaSilamsi iRamadan.
“Ndibona iindawo ezininzi zokurenta endleleni, kwaye itrafikhi iphindaphindeke kabini, ngakumbi ukushiya i-Beirut,” utshilo u-Boulos Douaihy, oneminyaka engama-30, umzobi ohamba mihla le ukuya kwikomkhulu ngoku kuthatha ixesha eliphindwe kabini. Andiwuthandi kakhulu umoya ojikeleze umhlaba, kodwa ulungele ilizwe.
Imfazwe yamakhaya kunye nolungelelwaniso olubi, oorhulumente beminyaka eyalandelayo bashiye imingxunya kwiziseko ezingundoqo zaseLebhanon ezingazange zilungiswe ngokupheleleyo, nto leyo eyabangela ukutyhubela iminyaka kuthungelwano lwe-ad-hoc lwababoneleli be-Intanethi abangekho semthethweni, iimafia zabucala zombane, iitanki zamanzi acocekileyo. , kunye ne-valet yokupaka.
“ELebhanon kuhlala kukho enye indlela,” utshilo uPaul Ariss, intloko yeLebhanon Syndicate of Restaurant and Cafe Owners.
Kodwa iindleko ezongezelelweyo zinokuba ngumthwalo kubanini bamashishini kwaye ziqhubele phambili amaxabiso kubathengi. Nangona eli hlobo libonakalise ukuba linenzuzo kumzi mveliso wenkonzo yokutya, uAriss uthe, imeko yangoku ayizinzanga. “Kufuneka sijongane nayo de kusekwe urhulumente omtsha, kwaye baqalise ukucwangcisa into engcono,” utshilo.
Uthakazelelo luyancipha kurhulumente ozayo wosozigidigidi weSunni Muslim uSaad Hariri, omanyano lwamaqela axhaswa yi-US kunye ne-Saudi aphinde aqinisekisa uninzi lwawo ngonyulo lukaJuni kodwa uye wafumana imiqobo emininzi. Ukulibaziseka ekusekweni kweKhabhinethi kukhuthaze iziqhulo ezihlekisayo zokuba abezopolitiko baseLebhanon baxakeke kakhulu befumana ingeniso yezokhenketho ukuze benze urhulumente okanye balwe bodwa.
U-Boustany, umnini weklabhu yolwandle, wayenombulelo nje ngokuba umbane kunye namanzi yayiyeyona nto ixhalabisayo kweli hlobo. I-Lazy B yavulwa kwiintsuku nje ezintlanu phambi kokuba imfazwe ka-2006 yonakalise kakubi uninzi lweziseko ezingundoqo zaseLebhanon ezazisele zibuthathaka, kuquka nendawo yombane, eyaphalaza iitoni zepetroleum kuLwandle lweMeditera.
Le mfazwe yalandelwa yiminyaka emibini yokruthakruthwano phakathi komanyano lukaHariri olubizwa ngokuba yi-14 kaMatshi kunye nenkcaso ekhokelwa yiHezbollah, ubuso ngobuso obaphantse batsalela ilizwe kwenye imfazwe yamakhaya. Isivumelwano sikaMeyi ka-2008 phakathi kwamaqela axabanayo aseLebhanon saseka uxolo lwasekhaya.
"Sibonisa ukuba ukuba basinika uzinzo kwezopolitiko, sinokwenza izinto ezininzi," utshilo uBoustany.
Ngalo lonke ixesha eladlulayo elinesiphithiphithi saseLebhanon, ukhenketho luhlala lungowona mthombo wengeniso, ubukhulu becala kwizigidi zabantu baseLebhanon abahlala phesheya abandwendwela ehlotyeni. Okwangoku, amagosa ezokhenketho athi urhulumente uchitha kancinci ukukhuthaza iLebhanon phesheya.
UJoseph Haimari, umcebisi kwiSebe lezoKhenketho, uqikelele ukuba ukhenketho lube negalelo kwi-US $ 7 yebhiliyoni kuqoqosho lweLebhanon kulo nyaka uphelileyo, malunga nekota yemveliso yasekhaya. Kodwa ngaphandle kohlahlo lwabiwo-mali olwaneleyo lwentengiso, uthe, "sithembele kwi ... kwimithombo yeendaba ukuze sikhuphe umyalezo wethu."
Nangona kukho imingeni, uHaimari uthi, ukhenketho luphakathi kwemizi-mveliso embalwa ekwaziyo ukubonelela ngemisebenzi kulutsha olungasebenziyo, olungaqeqeshelwanga umsebenzi noludla ngokubandakanyeka kumadabi ezopolitiko namahlelo elizwe.
“Ukhenketho kufuneka ludweliswe njengeyona nto iphambili kurhulumente,” utshilo. “Kodwa sifuna iziseko ezingundoqo ezifanelekileyo – iindlela, umbane, amanzi – ukuvumela ukhenketho lwande.”
