USanjeev Gupta ucinga ukuba lixesha lokuba i-Afghanistan edlakazwe yimfazwe ibe nomzi mveliso wokhenketho kwikona enoxolo yelizwe.
UGupta, umphathi wenkqubo yengingqi kumbutho ongekho phantsi korhulumente, i-Aga Khan Foundation, uthi nangona ezinye iindawo ziguquguquka kakhulu ukuba zindwendwelwe, iBamiyan kumbindi weAfghanistan ikhuselekile kwaye inobutyebi benkcubeko, imbali kunye nendalo ukurhwebesha abahambi bamazwe ngamazwe.
“IBamiyan inamathuba amaninzi okukhenketha,” utshilo uGupta. "Kufuneka silungise umbono we-Afghanistan. Ilizwe lonke alinabungozi.”
I-Aga Khan Foundation, ese-Geneva, idale iProjekthi ye-Bamiyan Ecotourism ukuze iphuhlise iziseko zophuhliso lwabakhenkethi, abakhokeli bakaloliwe, abapheki kunye nabanikazi behotele, kunye nokwazisa ngeendawo ezinomtsalane zendalo zommandla. Yinkqubo yeminyaka emithathu yeedola ezi-1.
Ukuthengisa nzima
UGupta uyavuma ukuba umsebenzi wokuseka ishishini lezokhenketho ngumsebenzi onzima nakwiphondo elikhuselekileyo njengeBamiyan.
Ukusukela ekuhlaselweni kweSoviet ngo-1979 kunye namashumi amathathu eminyaka emfazwe, bambalwa abakhenkethi abaye baya eAfghanistan. I-United States kunye nabanye oorhulumente abaninzi baseNtshona bakhuphe iingcebiso zokuhamba ezikhuthaza kakhulu ukuhamba okungabalulekanga ukuya e-Afghanistan. Kwaye akukho moya worhwebo. Abakhenkethi kufuneka bahambe umgama oziikhilomitha ezili-150, uhambo lweeyure ezili-10 ukusuka eKabul kwindlela yomhlaba evuthuza phezulu ukuya kwiintaba ezigqunywe likhephu i-Koh-i-Baba ngaphambi kokungena kwiNtlambo yaseBamiyan eluhlaza. Enye indlela ilawulwa yiTaliban, eyagxothwa kuhlaselo olukhokelwa yi-US ngo-2001.
Kodwa uGupta ubona isicwangciso sexesha elide. “Asikuko nokuba siyayiqala namhlanje le nkqubo kwaye ngomso kukho inyambalala yabakhenkethi,” utshilo. "Kodwa yakha isiseko."
Ngokuqinisekileyo, i-Bamiyan sele ibali eliyimpumelelo kwixesha le-post-Taliban.
Ngokucacileyo ayinazo ii-opium poppies, amasimi e-Bamiyan agqabhuka zizityalo zetapile. Amanqaku ezikolo akhiwe, kunye namantombazana angama-45 epesenti yabafundi bephondo, ukusuka kwi-zero ngo-2001 phantsi kweTaliban esisiseko. Ngokwahlukileyo koko, izikolo ezingama-590 zivaliwe kumazantsi e-Afghanistan kwaye abafundi abangama-300,000 bashiywe bengenamagumbi okufundela ngenxa yohlaselo lweTaliban, ngokutsho kweAssociated Press.
Imbali yeendwendwe
Kwaye iBamiyan inazo izakhiwo zabakhenkethi. Ukusukela ngeentsuku zeNdlela yeSilk entsonkothileyo eyayidibanisa iRoma neTshayina, iphondo libe yindawo yokumisa abahambi bamazwe ngamazwe abasuka eAlexander Omkhulu kunye noGenghis Khan ukuya kwinenekazi lokuqala uLaura Bush. Ngenyanga yeSilimela, inenekazi lokuqala lidibene nabasetyhini abaqeqeshwayo kwiziko lamapolisa laze lajikeleza indawo ekwakhiwa kuyo ikhaya leenkedama.
Abanini beevenkile zeti kumda welinye ichibi bathi ngolweziHlanu, impelaveki yamaSilamsi, indawo yokupaka igcwala iimoto ezininzi- uninzi lwezeentsapho zase-Afghan.
Kwiminyaka edlulileyo, uninzi lwabakhenkethi beza kubona imifanekiso eqingqiweyo emibini kaBuddha, kwiinyawo ezili-174 kunye neemitha ezili-125, ezakhiwa kwinkulungwane ngaphambi kokuzalwa kobuSilamsi kumatye entlabathi ebomvu kwiminyaka eyi-1,500 eyadlulayo. Ngelo xesha, iBamiyan yayiliziko eliphumelelayo lobuBhuda.
Ngo-2001, ekuphakameni kwamandla akhe, urhulumente weTaliban wasebenzisa iirokethi kunye neetanki ukutshabalalisa iimpawu zeBuddhist, ezazicinga ukuba zizithixo zabangakholwayo.
Ngoku, iBamiyan ifuna imbali yayo ibuye.
Tyhiliza ukuze wakhe kwakhona
U-Gov. Habiba Sarabi - irhuluneli yowesifazane kuphela e-Afghanistan - uthi unethemba lokuba ubuncinane omnye wemifanekiso eqingqiweyo kaBuddha iya kwakhiwa kwakhona, iprojekthi enzima ukuba imibutho emininzi inikezele ngemali, kodwa oko kusalindele imvume evela kwiSebe leNkcubeko. EKabul, uluvo lwahlulahlulwe malunga nokuba ukubuyiselwa kwembali yenkulungwane yesithandathu ye-Afghanistan yinkqubo efanelekileyo.
I-Bamiyan ikwaqhayisa ngepaki yesizwe yokuqala yase-Afghanistan, indawo eyi-220-square-mile-mile ejikeleze i-Band-i-Amir - amachibi amathandathu esafire-blue abekwe phakathi kweendawo ezimbi zesanti. Ukufika apho, nangona kunjalo, kuthatha iiyure ezintathu ngemoto kwi-4 × 4 isithuthi phezu kwendlela enamatye phakathi kwezidumbu ze-Soviet tanks kunye ne-toothy 10,000-ubude beentaba ezingakhange zisuswe ngokupheleleyo kwimigodi. USarabi unethemba lokuba ngenye imini indlela egayiweyo iya kudibanisa iKabul neBand-i-Amir.
“Ukhenketho lungazisa ingeniso eninzi kunye neenguqu ezininzi kubomi babantu,” utshilo.
Kodwa u-Abdul Razak, owayehleli kwindawo yokutyela engenanto ye-Roof yakhe enamagumbi ali-18 eBamiyan Hotel, uthi ukhenketho lunendlela ende ekufuneka iyihambile ngaphambi kokuba ibe yinyani. “UBamiyan (ukhuseleko) ulungile, kodwa ngaphandle kweBamiyan kubi. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kubakhenkethi luxolo.”
NgeCawa yakutshanje, uPei-Yin Lew, umfundi wezonyango wase-Australia oneminyaka engama-22, ukonwabele ukuzola kwamachibi e-Band-i-Amir kwipaki entsha yesizwe.
“Esinye sezona zizathu bendifuna ukuza e-Afghanistan kukubona la machibi,” utshilo, emi phezu komtya wamachibi aluhlaza. “Kuhle ngokwenene apha.”
Afghanistan ukhenketho
Ukungazinzi kwezopolitiko e-Afghanistan kuchaphazele ishishini lokhenketho elisanda kuqala.
Ukusukela ekuweni kweTaliban ngo-2001, akukho manani athembekileyo, kodwa amagosa eshishini ayavuma ukuba iindwendwe ziye zehla kakhulu kwiinyanga zamva nje.
Uqhushumbo kule nyanga ngaphandle kwe-Embassy yase-India e-Kabul eyabulala abantu abangama-41, kunye nokuhlaselwa kukaJanuwari kwihotele ye-five-star ye-capital kuye kwanciphisa ishishini ngeepesenti ze-70, ngokutsho kuka-André Mann, umseki we-Great Game Travel Co. e-Kabul, ebonelela ngeendlela zohambo olulungiselelweyo.
“Izinto zinokutshintsha ngokukhawuleza,” utshilo uMann. “Kukho izinto ezisiphazamisayo. Sidimazekile kancinci, kodwa sinethemba lonyaka ongcono ka-2009.”
Ingcebiso yohambo yase-US
Isebe likarhulumente liyaqhubeka nokulumkisa abemi base-US ngokuchasene nokuhambela kuyo nayiphi na indawo yase-Afghanistan.
"Akukho nxalenye ye-Afghanistan ekufuneka ithathwe njengengakhuselekanga kubundlobongela, kwaye amandla akhona kwilizwe lonke ngezenzo ezinobutshaba, nokuba zijoliswe okanye ngokungakhethiyo, ngokuchasene naseMelika kunye nabanye abantu basentshona nangaliphi na ixesha.
"Kukho isoyikiso esiqhubekayo sokuxhwila kunye nokubulala abemi base-US kunye nabasebenzi bemibutho engekho phantsi koRhulumente (NGO) kwilizwe lonke."
