Ukuvakasha kukaDalai Lama okuvelele kuvusa imizwa emelene neChina e-US njengoba i-White House ilungiselela ukwamukela umholi waseTibet osekudingisweni ngesonto elizayo. Umhlangano kungenzeka uzwele ebudlelwaneni be-US-China, njengoba i-China isaqhubeka nokukwenqaba ukugxekwa kwaseNtshonalanga ngokusingatha kwayo izinxushunxushu ezisabalele e-Tibet phakathi nezingcingo ezikhulayo zamazwe ngamazwe zokuduba umcimbi wokuvulwa kwama-Olympics e-Beijing ngo-2008.
I-Dalai Lama ikuphike kaningi ukubandakanyeka futhi yagxeka udlame lwaseTibet. Ngesonto eledlule, owaklonyeliswa ngendondo yeNobel Peace Prize wafika eSeattle ezothamela ingqungquthela yozwelo eNyuvesi yaseWashington. Ngenkathi izinkulungwane zibuthene ukuzomuzwa ekhuluma ngoMsombuluko ngokuthula nezingxoxo, amakhulu abantu, iningi labo okungamaShayina aseMelika babhikishe ngaphandle kwendawo bephikisana neDalai Lama, kubika i-Associated Press.
Ababhikishi bebephethe izimpawu ezisola ukuchema kwabezindaba futhi bebhikishela udlame oluvela kwizindela zaseTibet.
Abanye bavumelana nokuma kweBeijing kokuthi iDalai Lama iyimbangela yokuvukela umbuso wamaShayina osekuyiminyaka engamashumi amahlanu. Izimpawu zibize i-Dalai Lama ngomqambimanga kanye “nesidlakela esixhaswe yiCIA.” Abantu abaningi baphephezelisa amafulege amakhulu aseShayina.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi abantu batshelwe okungeyikho. Banobandlululo lwabezindaba, ”kusho umbhikishi uJiange Li. "I-Tibet yakhululwa - eminyakeni engu-50 edlule."
I-Seattle Post-Intelligencer ibika ukuthi ababhikishi bacule iculo lesizwe laseShayina futhi baphephezelisa amafulegi aseMelika naweShayina. Indiza encane yazungeza ngaphezu kwenyuvesi, idonsa isibhengezo esifundeka ngokuthi DALAI UR SMILES CHARM, UR ACTIONS HARM. Omunye umgqugquzeli uthe amaShayina ezizwe azikhokhele izindleko zendiza.
Inxusa elikhethekile likaMongameli Bush eTibet, uPaula Dobriansky, kulindeleke ukuthi ahlangane neDalai Lama ngesonto elizayo. Kuzoba umhlangano osezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu nabaphathi baseMelika selokhu kwaqala izibhelu. I-Australian Broadcasting Corporation ibika ukuthi isithunywa saseShayina eWashington sagxeka i-US ngomhlangano owawuhleliwe, njengoba wawufana nokugxambukela “ezindabeni zangaphakathi” zaseChina. Umkhulumeli woMnyango Wezwe ucele ukuthi kube nezingxoxo phakathi kweziphathimandla zaseChina kanye neDalai Lama.
I-Dalai Lama ithe ngeSonto kunezingxoxo ezingemuva phakathi kwalezi zinhlangothi zombili, kodwa yathi akahileleki ngokuqondile, kusho i-New York Times. Ukuphawula kwakhe kufike ngemva kosuku uMongameli waseChina u-Hu Jintao ethe inkhulumomphendvulwano ingenzeka kuphela uma i-Dalai Lama iyeka “ukuceba nokubhebhezela udlame” nokuzama “ukucekela phansi” ama-Olympics.
Kusukela ngoMashi, imibhikisho emelene namaShayina imibhikisho nemibhikisho ezindaweni eziningi zaseTibet entshonalanga neChina ihlole abezokuphepha lapho. Amasosha abehamba phambili kulo mkhankaso. Amaphoyisa aseShayina asanda kusho ukuthi abantu baseTibet abalwela inkululeko babehlela ukuhlasela ngokuzibulala ngaphambi kwama-Olympics. Lesi simangalo siphikiswa kakhulu izishoshovu zaseTibet ezidingisiwe.
Lezi zinxushunxushu zigxilise ukunaka komhlaba wonke ekubuseni kweBeijing eTibet futhi zaqubula imibhikisho ethukuthele ngesikhathi semilenze yakamuva yomjaho wethoshi wama-Olympic. UNobhala-Jikelele weNhlangano Yezizwe, u-Ban Ki-Moon, ngesonto eledlule uhlanganyele nabanye abaholi bomhlaba, kuhlanganise noNdunankulu waseBrithani, uGordon Brown, benqaba ukuya emcimbini wokuvula e-Beijing ngo-Agasti 8, okucacile eBeijing.
Ngempelasonto, abezindaba zombuso waseChina babike ukuthi izindela ezingamaBuddha zaseTibet eziyisishiyagalolunye ziboshwe ngenyanga edlule ngokuqhumisa ngamabhomu isakhiwo sikahulumeni entshonalanga yeChina. Umabonakude wombuso wasakaza izithombe zebhilidi elilimele futhi wathi abasolwa bavumile kodwa abazange bakhulume ngabantu abalimele, kubika i-Agence France-Presse.
Lo mbiko ungowakamuva ochungechungeni lwemithombo yezindaba yaseShayina eveza lezi zinxushunxushu njengomkhankaso wobandlululo onodlame owahlelwa yiDalai Lama kanye nabasekeli bakhe ababedingisiwe, futhi, njengoba i-Christian Science Monitor ibike, “Iningi lezakhamizi zaseShayina, lithembele kuhulumeni. -abezindaba abaphethe izindaba nemibono esemthethweni, babonakala bengatholi phutha ekusingatheni kukahulumeni wabo izinxushunxushu zakamuva zaseTibet, ezivezwe njengokuqubuka kodlame lwesixuku olubulalayo olugqugquzelwa abahleli bokwehlukana phesheya."
Ngesonto eledlule, iziphathimandla zaseChina zathi zibhuntshise itulo leqembu elincane lamaSulumane lokuhlasela ngokuzibulala kanye nokuthumba ngesikhathi sama-Olympics. I-Associated Press ibika ukuthi isikhulu sezokuphepha siveze ukuthi kuboshwe abantu abangu-35 ngetulo okusolwa ukuthi litulo e-Xinjiang, okuyisifundazwe esikhulukazi esisentshonalanga lapho ama-Uighur amaSulumane sekunesikhathi eside ebusa ngaphansi kombuso waseChina. Kodwa abahlaziyi bakungabaze ubuqiniso balokhu kanye nezinye izinsongo zobuphekula ezibikiwe ezibandakanya ama-Uighur njengoba kuyiwa kuma-Olympics.
UNicholas Bequelin, uchwepheshe weXinjiang weHuman Rights Watch eHong Kong, uthe iBeijing ikwenzele phansi ukwethenjwa kwayo ngokuhlala ibiza izenzo zobugebengu, udlame olumelene nohulumeni kanye nokungezwani okunokuthula njengobuphekula.
"Isipiliyoni emhlabeni jikelele kusukela kwaqala impi yomhlaba wonke yobuphekula, sifundise umphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe ukuthi izinsongo zobuphekula zingase zisetshenziswe kalula kanjani ohulumeni abanegunya ngezinhloso zabo," kusho u-Bequelin.
IWashington Post ithi iChina inciphise ngamabomu ukuthunyelwa kwayo kwePeople's Liberation Army ekuqedeni izinxushunxushu eTibet, ikhetha ukudonsela emaphoyiseni asePeople's Armed, okuyibutho elikhulayo lamasosha angaba ngu-700,000. Abahlaziyi bathi lokhu kungase kubonise inkolelo yaseBeijing yokuthi isimo esibucayi esikhona manje asisibi kakhulu kunesokugcina esikhulu sokuqubuka kwezibhelu ezimelene nohulumeni ngo-1989. Ukugqama komhlaba wonke ngaphambi kwama-Olympics kungenzeka nakho kwaba nengxenye ekugcineni amasosha egobile.
Ukushintsha kwendlela uMongameli u-Hu kanye nabaphathi beQembu lakhe lamaKhomanisi abonisa ngayo ukuzwela kwezombusazwe okusazungeza izinkumbulo zango-1989, lapho ukuhlonishwa komphakathi kweButho kwehla khona ngemva kokuvukela abantu bakhona.
Iqembu le-Propaganda Bureau lisebenze ngokuzikhandla kusukela ngaleso sikhathi ukubuyisela isithunzi samasosha futhi siliveze njengelizinikele ezakhamuzini zaseChina eziyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-1.3.
I-Yomiuri Shimbun yaseJapane ibika ukuthi izihlobo ezihlala ekhaya lezingane zaseDalai Lama ziboshelwe endlini njengoba abezokuphepha belawula ukungena kwazo. Umholi womoya uchithe iminyaka eminingana ehlala ePingan County ngaphambi kokuthuthela eLhasa, inhloko-dolobha yaseTibet. Esangweni elingaphambili lendlu, isaziso sikahulumeni sasixwayisa “ngokuziphatha okulimazayo” futhi senqabela ukukhiqizwa kabusha kwesithombe seDalai Lama.
Ngo-Febhruwari 21, ngaphambi kokuvukela umbuso eLhasa, kwaba nokungqubuzana phakathi kwezindela namaphoyisa eTongren County eHuangnan, Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, eqhele ngamakhilomitha angaba ngu-150 eningizimu yePingan County.
Lapho sivakashela indawo yesigameko, indela esencane yazwakalisa ukukhathazeka.
“Izikhulu zezempi ziyafika zisesha amagumbi ethu nsuku zonke. Uma bengathola ngisho isiqeshana sesithombe seDalai Lama bazosithatha ngokushesha,” usho kanje.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- The report is the latest in a series by Chinese media that portrays the unrest as a violent separatist campaign orchestrated by the Dalai Lama and his exiled supporters, and, as The Christian Science Monitor reported, “The vast majority of Chinese citizens, relying on state-run media for news and official views, appear to find no fault with their government’s handling of recent Tibetan unrest, presented as an outbreak of murderous mob violence instigated by separatist plotters abroad.
- The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reports that a Chinese envoy in Washington criticized the US for the planned meeting, as it amounted to interfering in China’s “internal affairs.
- The meeting is likely to be sensitive for US-China relations, as China continues to reject Western criticism of its handling of widespread unrest in Tibet amid increasing international calls to boycott the opening ceremony of 2008 Beijing Olympics.
