Angikaze ngiye eTibet muva nje, kodwa ngichithe ngaphezudlwana nje kwamaviki angu-3 empumalanga yeChina, eyayikade ingeyaseTibet ngaphambi kokuhlasela kwamaShayina, nase-TAR neqembu ehlobo eledlule. Ngike ngaya emikhosini emi-2 yamahhashi, yomibili ebihlelwe ngamaShayina, okwenza kwaba indaba yamaShayina kakhulu ngezinkulumo nenkulumo-ze yezikhulu zaseShayina. Amaphoyisa aseShayina anamandla kanye nokuba khona kwe-PLA kwakukhona kukho kokubili ngokuzikhukhumeza okwesabisayo. Yasigulisa ngempela indlela abasebenzisa ngayo leli siko futhi bathatha konke ababekulethela izivakashi. Sagibela isitimela esinedumela elibi sisuka eXinning siya eLhasa, futhi savunyelwa kuphela ukuthi siphumele endaweni yesikhulumi lapho isitimela sima esiteshini esi-1. ohambweni lwamahora angama-27. Izindlu zangasese zavalwa imizuzu engu-30 ngaphambi kokuba ngifike eLhasa, futhi kwadingeka ngibambe yonke imisebenzi yomzimba ngemva kokuncenga ukuba ngiyivule kodwa ngenqaba. Ngenhlanhla angizange ngibe nohudo lwabahambi noma esinyeni sesonto noma ezinye izinkinga okungenzeka zingibangele amahloni amakhulu.
Ngixwayiswe ngomunye umhlahlandlela ukuthi ngingakhulumi ngepolitiki, iDalai Lama noma imibono yomuntu ngendlela okuqhutshwa ngayo kubashayeli noma kubaqondisi ngoba omunye angaba wutshani omunye athathwe ayophenywa. Ukulawula kubi kakhulu, kangangokuthi asikwazanga ukuthola imvume yokusuka e-Shigatse ukuze sifike e-Kathmandu ingasaphathwa eyokufika e-Base Camp Everest. AmaShayina asabalalisa ama-rhumers okuthi kukhona ukudilika komhlaba, futhi nalabo ababethole imvume ngaphambili abakwazanga ukufika lapho. Eqinisweni kwakuhlale kwenzeka ukudlula njengoba sakuthola eqenjini labagibeli bamabhayisikili elalisanda kufika emngceleni waseNepal lisuka eBase Camp neloli labo elalingenankinga nokudlula futhi lona ngokwalo alizange lihlangabezane nezithiyo ezinzima. . AmaShayina aqamba amanga ngaso sonke isikhathi, asebenzisa amaqiniso ukuze anqamule imininingwane hhayi ezivakashini kuphela kodwa kunoma ubani ukuze angatholi unya lwawo. Abantu baseTibet abampofu bazizwa becindezelwe abantu abaningi baseShayina abatshalwe kubo. Lawo maShayina ayisizathu salokho okubizwa ngokuthi yi-investimenti, izakhiwo zemigwaqo njll, ukugcina leso sibalo sabantu sihlinzekwa futhi sisebenzise ngokusobala lelo zwe eligcinwe kahle ngezinsiza zabo. Amaloli alayishwe kahle kanye nezinqola zezempi zazibonakala emigwaqweni yonke nakuba i-TAR kanye nezakhamuzi zazixoxa ngezindaba zokuthi bahlala belwa kanjani nezikhulu zaseShayina kanye nabasebenzi abathunyelwa lapho ukuzomba izintaba zabo ezingcwele abangakuboni okuhle nakakhulu kuzo. Bonke baphelela eChina ngokufanelekile. E-Lhasa uqobo ngazizwa ngigula emathunjini lapho ngibuka ngaphandle kweSigodlo sasePotala ngibheka esigcawini esikhulu nesigxobo esikhulu senduku khona kanye phambi kweSigodlo esinefulegi laseShayina. Angikaze ngizwe uzwelo olungaka ngesizwe esithotshiswa ngawo wonke amathuba avela engxenyeni yamaShayina. Ngivela eHungary, izwe elake labhekana nesimo esifanayo kodwa okungenani ulimi lwethu, isiko lethu alizange lisongelwa njengaseTibet. I-Dalai Lama iqinisile lapho ikhuluma ngokuqothulwa kohlanga.
Kuningi okumelwe sikusho ukuze siqonde ukuthi kungani amaTibet ayenele ngokwanele futhi kufanele aqhume, lokhu akuwona ubuxhwanguxhwangu obuvamile njengoba amaShayina angathanda ukuba sikholwe.
Ihlazo elibi kuphela ukuthi ezinye izizwe ezinamandla zingamagwala futhi zinobugovu futhi kuyodingeka zizwe umthwalo wecala lapho zivumela futhi zibukele isizwe sinyathelwa, sikhahlelwa futhi sishaywa ebusweni size sife.
