Kwabafokazi abambalwa abasele eTibet, iningi leLhasa seliphenduke indawo yokungahambeli. Amasosha agcwele imigwaqo ngaphambi komnqamulajuqu obekwe yiChina wokuthi bonke ababhikishi bazinikele ekupheleni kukaMsombuluko.
“Balivalele ngokuphelele idolobha,” kusho uPaul, umpakisheli waseYurophu owacela ukuba igama lakhe eliphelele lingasetshenziswa. “Kukhulu ngempela. Okungenani kunamasosha angama-30 kuzo zonke izimpambano zomgwaqo.”
I-China ivimbele abantu bangaphandle ukuthi baye e-Lhasa kanye nayo yonke i-Tibet ngemuva kwemibhikisho yenkululeko yase-Tibet ibe nodlame, futhi uMnyango Wezwe LaseMelika ukhiphe isexwayiso sokuhamba unxusa abantu baseMelika e-Lhasa ukuthi bafune indawo ephephile emahhotela (bona www.travel.state.gov) . Izinkampani zokuvakasha zase-US, ezifana ne-San Francisco-based Geographic Expeditions, eyayiyingqalabutho ohambweni lwabantu baseNtshonalanga ukuya e-Tibet futhi esaqhubeka nokunikeza izinkambo eziningi zokuvakasha zamaqembu amancane e-Tibet, zizama ukuhlela kabusha izinhlelo zohambo lwamakhasimende.
E-Lhasa, iqeqebana labathwali bakajosaka lisusiwe ehhotela lesabelomali layiswa endaweni yokungcebeleka enezinkanyezi ezinhlanu ngemuva kokuba izibhelu nokuphanga kucekele phansi ingxenye enkulu yomgwaqo uBeijing, umgwaqo omkhulu wedolobha osempumalanga-ntshonalanga, kusho uPaul. Omunye wabo wabala okungenani izimoto eziphendukile ezingu-30 kulowo mgwaqo, izakhiwo eziyisikhombisa ezishiswe ngomlilo, futhi zaphanga ingxenye yezitolo.
Abahambi kwakudingeka badlule ezindaweni ezine zokuhlola. OwaseCanada owabona iveni yabo ezama ukugxumela phakathi. “Amasosha amqeqeshela izibhamu acishe amdubula,” kusho uPaul.
Wanezela, “ihhotela lacisha i-inthanethi ngokushesha nje lapho sifika.”
Iziyaluyalu zaseTibet zaqala ngoMashi 10 ngosuku lokukhumbula ukuvukela umbuso wamaShayina okwahluleka ngo-1959 esifundeni okwathumela iDalai Lama kanye neningi labefundisi abaphambili abangamaBuddha. I-Tibet yayizimele ngokuphumelelayo amashumi eminyaka ngaphambi kokuba amasosha amaKhomanisi angene ngo-1950.
Kepha okuqale njengombhikisho onokuthula wezindela kuqubule uLwesihlanu kwaba nesiphithiphithi lapho abantu baseTibet behlasela amaShayina futhi bashisa amabhizinisi abo enhlokodolobha yaseTibet iLhasa. Lokhu kuqubuka kwavela ngemva kweminyaka eminingana yokuqinisa ukulawula kukahulumeni phezu kwemikhuba yobuBuddha nokuhlambalaza amaDalai Lama, abaseTibet abasawahlonipha.
