I-Lebanon ibiza le nkathi yezivakashi zasehlobo njengeyimpumelelo kunazo zonke ezake zaba khona. Izivakashi zathutheleka ku-Lazy B uspcale beach club ephethwe ngu-Georges Boustany. Kodwa lokhu kuthutheleka kuye kwathwalisa kanzima ingqalasizinda yesizwe esenziwe buthaka ngenxa yempi kangangoba ngasekupheleni kuka-August, iLazy B yayithola cishe amahora angu-12 kuphela kagesi ngosuku, futhi nalapho ugesi wawuphansi kangangokuthi uBoustany waphoqeleka ukuba awufake ngogesi ophehla udizili. ijeneretha. Le kilabhu ibithembele emthonjeni ozimele ngoba amanzi asempompini abengathembekile. "Ukuphela kwento esebenzayo ucingo," kusho uBoustany ngokucasuka.
Ehlobo ezintathu ngemuva kwempi phakathi kwe-Israel neqembu lamaSulumane i-Hezbollah yashiya izingxenye ze-Beirut ziyincithakalo futhi izivakashi zifuna umngcele, amakilabhu ebhishi lenhloko-dolobha, izitolo ezinkulu kanye nezindawo zokudlela zaphinde zagcwala. Izixuku zazihlanganisa nabaningi ababebuya eLebanon abavela kwamanye amazwe; izivakashi ezisuka esifundeni sasePersian Gulf esisadla ngoludala ezikhangwa isimo sase-Beirut esikhululekile, ukuphila kwasebusuku okushisayo, nesimo sezulu esipholile; kanye nabafuna ukuzidela baseYurophu nabaseMelika.
Kodwa izinkinga zengqalasizinda ezidalwa imijikelezo yesizwe yodlame nokuthula, kanye nomnqamulajuqu wezombangazwe, zazisobala. Izwe elikhubazekile, elihlukene phakathi, elizabalaza ukuhlinzeka ngisho nezidingo eziyisisekelo ezakhamuzini zalo eziyizigidi ezine kusukela impi yombango enonya yeminyaka engu-4 yaphela ngo-15, kungazelelwe kwadingeka ukuba semukele izivakashi ezilinganiselwa ezigidini ezimbili ekupheleni kwalo nyaka, ngaphezu kwalokho. ingxenye yesigidi kurekhodi langaphambili lezigidi ezingu-1990 ngo-2.
Umphumela ube ukucisha kukagesi isikhathi eside, ukushoda kwamanzi okukhulu, nokugcwala kwezimoto okwehlisa isithombe sezwe sokunganaki futhi kubambezele ezinye izigaba zomnotho, njengoba isizini isiyaphela enyangeni engcwele yamaSulumane iRamadan.
"Ngibona izindawo eziningi eziqashiswayo emgwaqeni, futhi izimoto seziphindeke kabili, ikakhulukazi uma usuka e-Beirut," kusho u-Boulos Douaihy, 30, umakhi wezakhiwo ohambo lwakhe lwansuku zonke oluya enhlokodolobha manje seluthatha isikhathi esiphindwe kabili. “Angiwuthandi ngempela umkhathi, kodwa ulungele izwe.”
Impi yombango kanye nohulumeni abahlukene, abasebenzisana kabi eminyakeni eyalandela bashiya izimbobo kwingqalasizinda yaseLebanon engakaze ilungiswe ngokuphelele, okudale ukuthi eminyakeni edlule inethiwekhi yesikhashana yabahlinzeki be-inthanethi abangekho emthethweni, ama-mafia azimele akhiqiza ugesi, amathangi amanzi ahlanzekile. , kanye ne-valet yokupaka.
"ELebanon kuhlala kunenye indlela," kusho uPaul Ariss, inhloko yeLebanese Syndicate of Restaurant and Cafe Owners.
Kodwa izindleko ezengeziwe zingaba umthwalo kubanikazi bamabhizinisi futhi zikhuphule amanani kumakhasimende. Yize leli hlobo likhombise inzuzo embonini yezinsiza zokudla, u-Ariss uthe, isimo esikhona manje asisimami. “Kuzomele sibhekane nakho kuze kube sekubunjwa uhulumeni omusha, bese beqala ukuhlela okuthile okungcono,” usho kanje.
Iyaphela isasasa kuhulumeni ozayo kasozigidigidi wamaSunni Muslim, uSaad Hariri, umfelandawonye wamaqembu asekelwa yi-US kanye ne-Saudi aphinde waqinisekisa iningi lawo ngokhetho lwangoJuni kodwa selokhu wabhekana nezingqinamba eziningi. Ukubambezeleka ekubunjweni kweKhabhinethi kwagqugquzela amahlaya aluhlaza okuthi osopolitiki baseLebanon bamatasa kakhulu beqoqa inzuzo yezokuvakasha ukuze bakhe uhulumeni noma baze balwe bodwa.
UBoustany, umnikazi wekilabhu yolwandle, uvele wabonga ngokuthi ugesi namanzi kwakuyizinto ezimkhathaza kakhulu kuleli hlobo. Ivila B lavulwa kusasele izinsuku ezinhlanu ngaphambi kokuthi impi yango-2006 yonakalise kabi ingqalasizinda yaseLebanon eyayivele ibuthakathaka, kuhlanganise nesikhungo sikagesi, esachithela amathani kaphethiloli oLwandle iMedithera.
Le mpi yalandelwa iminyaka emibili yombango phakathi komfelandawonye kaHariri obizwa ngoMashi 14 kanye neqembu eliphikisayo eliholwa yiHezbollah, nokubhekana ngeziqu zamehlo okwacishe kwadonsela izwe kwenye impi yombango. Isivumelwano sikaMeyi 2008 phakathi kwamaqembu axabanayo aseLebanon sasungula ukuthula kwasekhaya okunzima.
“Siyakufakazela ukuthi uma bengasinika uzinzo kwezombusazwe, singenza izinto eziningi,” kusho uBoustany.
Kuso sonke isikhathi esidlule esineziyaluyalu saseLebanon, ezokuvakasha ziye zahlala ziwumthombo omkhulu wemali engenayo, ikakhulukazi ezigidini zamaLebanon ezihlala phesheya ezivakashela ehlobo. Noma kunjalo, izikhulu zezokuvakasha zithi uhulumeni usebenzisa imali encane ukukhangisa iLebanon phesheya.
UJoseph Haimari, umeluleki eMnyangweni Wezokuvakasha, ulinganisele ukuthi ezokuvakasha zanikela ngamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-7 emnothweni waseLebanon ngonyaka odlule, cishe ingxenye yesine yomkhiqizo wasekhaya. Kodwa ngaphandle kwesabelomali esanele sokukhangisa, uthe, "sithembele ku ... abezindaba ukuze sikhiphe umyalezo wethu."
Naphezu kwezinselele, uHaimari uthi, ezokuvakasha ziphakathi kwezimboni ezimbalwa ezikwazi ukuhlinzeka ngemisebenzi entsheni engasebenzi, engenawo amakhono evame ukungena ezimpini zezwe zezombangazwe namahlelo.
"Ezokuvakasha kumele zifakwe ohlwini lwezinto eziza kuqala kuhulumeni," esho. "Kodwa sidinga ingqalasizinda efanele - imigwaqo, ugesi, amanzi - ukuvumela ezokuvakasha zande."
