I-KAMPALA, e-Uganda (eTN) -I-mosque exhaswa ngemali yaseLibya kwaye isandula ukwakhiwa ivulwe kwiveki ephelileyo evulwe ngokusesikweni nguMongameli wase-Libya u-Muammar al-Gaddafi phambi kuka-Mongameli Museveni kunye nezinye iintloko zikarhulumente kunye noorhulumente kwingingqi ebanzi ye-Mpuma ye-Afrika.
UGaddafi utyelele iUganda ukuya kuvala iNgqungquthela yoLutsha yase-Afro Arab, ephele ngo-Matshi 17. Inkuthazo yokuqala yempikiswano yathintelwa, xa usuku lokuvula lwalumiselwe uLwesithathu, ukuthintela impikiswano enokubakho noluntu lwamaKristu malunga namanye amarhe okuba ayenze. NgeCawa yePlanga, okanye ngakumbi ngoLwesihlanu oLungileyo, imihla ephambili kwikhalenda yenkolo yamaKristu yonyaka.
Kwintetho yakhe u-Gaddafi akazange abe nazintloni kwimpikiswano, ecaphula kwimixholo yamaphephandaba amabini aphambili kweli, amazwi akhe acatshulwa esithi, "Bible a fomeki" (New Vision) kunye ne "Bible changed" (Daily Monitor). La maKatolika aqine ingqumbo kunye namaProtestanti kunye nengxoxo ethathe ixesha elide kulindeleke ukuba ivele kwiintsuku neeveki ezizayo ngala mazwi mabi.
Iingxelo zabafundi kungoku nje zizele kukuhlasela okuchasene noGaddafi kwaye iinkokeli zamaSilamsi ezikhokelayo ziye zacelwa ukuba zizihlukanise nabantu abanomsindo, amagama angalunganga kunye nokugula okuqwalaselweyo okujolise ekuphembeleleni ukwahlukana ngokwenkolo kunye nentiyo. Ubhishophu omkhulu wamaKapala eKampala kwintetho yakhe ye-Ista wabiza amazwi kaGaddafi “axhokonxayo,” ngelixa ezinye iinkokheli zamaKrestu namanye amacandelo amakhulu oluntu bafuna uxolo. Iinkokeli zamaSilamsi nazo zangena kwiingxoxo malunga nokumenywa kukaGadaffi kumaKristu ukuba atyelele iMecca. Urhulumente waseUganda akazange avume ukubanjelwa kwingxoxo-mpikiswano eshushu esithi la magqabantshintshi “ngawodwa kwaye urhulumente akanamsebenzi nezinto ezinjalo.”
Kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba iUganda lilizwe lobuKristu elinamandla, apho amaSilamsi amancinci anendawo yawo efanelekileyo, ekhuselweyo ngumgaqo-siseko kwaye, okona kubaluleke kakhulu, umoya wokunyamezelana nokunyamezelana ngokwenkolo yabantu bakhe, abebesoloko beyiphepha inzondelelo yenkolo kunye noGaddafi. Amagqabantshintshi awenzanga nto ukuphucula lo moya.
Kwintetho yakhe uGaddafi ubeke “nakwamanye amazwe aseScandinavia,” mhlawumbi ebhekisa kwiDenmark, ngenxa yemifanekiso eshukumayo (simahla kulawulo lukarhulumente) eyapapashwa phaya kwiminyaka emibini eyadlulayo nakutsha nje.
Ngexesha lokuvula ngokusesikweni ukungavisisani kuxeliwe nakumajelo eendaba, okokuqala phakathi kweenkcukacha zokhuselo lika-Mongameli wase-Uganda kunye neqela elikhulu lezokhuseleko, ekuthiwa bangama-200 kubo, uGaddafi wazizisela yena emva koko xa uMongameli uKagame wafika kade kweli gosa. umsitho wokuvula. Iinkcukacha ezithe kratya zokungavisisani kunye neembambano phakathi kweenkcukacha zaye zaxelwa nakumajelo eendaba emva kokuhamba kukaGadaffi, into eyayibonakala ngathi "ngequbuliso" ngelixa wayelindelwe komnye umsitho.
Kwakukho inani elikhulu ngokungaqhelekanga labanquli ababeze kwi-mosque ngaphandle kwamakhadi ezimemo kwaye benqatshelwe ukungena, ngelixa izidwangube zazikhona, zibangela impikiswano enomsindo namapolisa kunye nolunye ukhuseleko olungqonge ikhompiyutha, kodwa isihlwele kamva safika ngoxolo ikhutshwe.
I-mosque entsha nangona kunjalo luphawu lokwakha olukhawulezileyo eKampala kwaye ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo iyakongezwa kukhenketho lwedolophu kubakhenkethi, abathi ukuza kuthi ga ngoku bakwazi ukubona ezinye iindawo eziphambili zonqulo ezifana necawa yamaKatolika eRubaga, i-Anglican cathedral eNamirembe, iitempile zonqulo kuluntu lwamaHindu nolwamaSikh kufutshane nalapho kudibana khona iClock Tower kwaye yeyona tempile kuphela yaseBahai eAfrika kufutshane nedolophana yaseNtinda.
Ukuvulwa ngokusesikweni kunye namanyathelo okhuseleko alandelayo, abandakanya ukuvalwa kweendlela eziphambili, kukhokelele ekuxinaneni kweemoto ezininzi eKampala ngosuku kwaye abathathi-nxaxheba bezithuthi abakwimeko leyo bathatha iiyure ukuya kwiindawo zabo ekucetywe kuzo. Ukuhamba kwezithuthi kwindlela i-Entebbe kuye kwachaphazeleka xa iimoto zomongameli zadlula zisiya kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya kwaye abanye abakhweli beenqwelomoya kuthiwa baphose iinqwelomoya xa befika emva kwexesha kwisakhiwo, ngenxa yokulibaziseka okubangelwe kukuvalwa kwendlela.
