Intsha yaseTibet ehlukumezayo yakhanda ngamatshe yaphinde yashaya abantu baseChina enhlokodolobha yaseTibet futhi yashisa nezitolo kodwa manje sekubuye ukuthula ngemuva kokuqiniswa kwamasosha, kusho izivakashi eziqhamuka esifundeni sase-Himalaya.
"Kwakuwukuqhuma kwentukuthelo kumaShayina namaSulumane ngabaseTibet," kusho uJohn Kenwood oneminyaka engu-19 waseCanada, echaza udlame oluqubule idolobha lasendulo laseLhasa.
UMnu Kenwood nezinye izivakashi ezifike ngendiza enhlokodolobha yaseNepal, iKathmandu izolo, bazibonele lezi zinxushunxushu, ezifinyelele kuvuthondaba ngoLwesihlanu lapho bethi kubhekiswe kuma-Han Chinese kanjalo namaSulumane.
Bachaze izigcawu lapho izixuku zishaya futhi zakhahlela ama-Han Chinese, okuthutheleka kwawo endaweni okusolwe abantu baseTibet ngokushintsha isiko kanye nendlela yabo yokuphila.
UMnu Kenwood uthe wabona amadoda amane noma amahlanu aseTibet ngoLwesihlanu “ngokungenasihawu” ekhanda ngamatshe futhi ekhahlela umshayeli wesithuthuthu waseChina.
“Bagcine bemwise phansi, bemshaya ngamatshe ekhanda waze waquleka.
“Ngikholwa wukuthi le nsizwa ibulewe,” kusho uMnu Kenwood, kodwa wengeza ngokuthi akanaso isiqiniseko.
Uthe akaboni ukufa kwabantu baseTibet.
Uhulumeni waseTibet odingisiwe izolo uthe isibalo “esiqinisekisiwe” sokufa kwabantu baseTibet ngenxa yezinxushunxushu ezingaphezu kwesonto sasingu-99.
I-China ithe "izakhamuzi ezingenacala eziyi-13" zishonile futhi ayizange isebenzise amandla abulalayo ukuqeda udweshu.
AbaseTibet "babejikijela amatshe kunoma yini ebidlula", kusho uMnu Kenwood.
“Intsha ibambe iqhaza kanti abantu abadala bebeseka ngokuklabalasa – behhewula okwezimpisi. Wonke umuntu obebukeka eShayina wahlaselwa,” kusho isivakashi saseSwitzerland uClaude Balsiger, 25.
“Bahlasele ikhehla laseChina lihamba ngebhayisikili. Bamshaya kakhulu ngamatshe ekhanda (kodwa) abanye abantu abadala baseTibet bangena esixukwini ukuze babamise,” usho kanje.
UMnu Kenwood ulandisa ngokunye ukuhlenga ngesibindi lapho indoda yaseShayina icela umusa kubantu baseTibet abaphethe amatshe.
“Bebemkhahlela ezimbanjeni ephuma igazi ebusweni,” usho kanje. “Kodwa umlungu wakhuphuka… wamsiza wasukuma phansi. Kwakunesixuku sabantu baseTibet ababephethe amatshe, wabamba le ndoda yaseShayina eduze, waphakamisa isandla ebhekise esixukwini samvumela ukuba aholele le ndoda endaweni ephephile.”
Ephendula ngama-akhawunti ezivakashi, u-Thubten Samphel, umkhulumeli kahulumeni waseTibet osekudingisweni endaweni esenyakatho yedolobha lase-Indian e-Dharamshala, ubize udlame ngokuthi “lulubi kakhulu”.
AbaseTibet "batshelwe ukuthi bagcine umzabalazo wabo ungenalo udlame," esho.
Iziyaluyalu zaqala ngemva kokuba abaseTibet bephawule ngo-March 10 unyaka wama-49 wokuvukela kwabo okuhlulekile ngokumelene nokubusa kwamaShayina ngo-1959. Khona-ke, umholi ongokomoya wamaBuddha waseTibet uDalai Lama wadabula izintaba zeHimalaya wawelela eNdiya, okwenza iDharamshala yaba isizinda ngemva kokuvukela.
NgoMgqibelo odlule, abezokuphepha baseChina base bevale inhloko-dolobha yaseTibet.
Amasosha aseChina ayalele izivakashi ukuthi zihlale emahhotela azo lapho zithi zizwa ukuqhuma kwezibhamu namagobolondo esisi esikhalisa unyembezi.
NgoMsombuluko izivakashi bezivunyelwe umnyakazo kodwa kudingeke ukuthi zikhombise amapasi azo ezindaweni okuseshwa kuzo njalo.
“Izitolo zishe zangqongqa – zonke izimpahla bezisemgwaqweni womlilo omkhulu. Izakhiwo eziningi zabhodlozwa,” kusho uSerge Lachapelle, isivakashi saseMontreal eCanada.
"Isifunda samaSulumane sacekelwa phansi - zonke izitolo zacekelwa phansi," kusho uMnu Kenwood.
“Ngikwazile ukuyodla endaweni yokudlela (engaphandle kwehhotela) ekuseni (izolo). AbaseTibet babengasamoyizeli,” kusho yena.
