Cuba Imatifuna Kwambiri Kuposa Kale

Lamlungu, July 11, ambiri a ife tinawona zithunzi zochititsa chidwi za zionetsero ku Cuba. Monga wa ku Cuba wa ku America, ndinadabwa kuona chipwirikiticho. Kwa zaka makumi asanu ndi limodzi zapitazi Cuba yakhala chitsanzo cha bata ku Latin America poyang'anizana ndi zilango zachuma za US, kutha kwa nkhondo yozizira, ndi nthawi yapadera kuchokera ku 1990-1995 pamene tsiku lililonse anthu aku Cuba ankamva njala pamene thandizo la Soviet linauma. Nthawi ino ndikumva mosiyana. COVID-19 yawonjezera kuvutika kwakukulu m'miyoyo ya anthu aku Cuba monga momwe yachitira padziko lonse lapansi. Ngakhale Cuba sinapange katemera mmodzi, koma awiri omwe amafanana ndi omwe apangidwa ku US, Europe ndi China, mliriwu ukuyenda mwachangu kuposa momwe katemera angapitirire. Monga taonera ku US, matendawa satenga akaidi. 

Ndimadana nazo kuona dziko lakwawo makolo anga ali pamavuto otere. Ndinabadwira ku Colombia kwa makolo omwe adachoka ku Cuba ali ana, sindine waku Cuba waku America. Anthu ambiri aku Cuba-Amerika omwe adakulira ku Miami ngati ine sanakhalepo ku Cuba, ndipo amangodziwa nkhani za makolo awo. Nditapita ku Cuba maulendo oposa 90, ndikudziwa mmene anthu akuchilumbachi amachitira. Ndimamva kuwawa kwawo ndipo ndimalakalaka kumasuka ku kuvutika kwawo. 

Ndagwira ntchito ku Cuba kuyambira 1999 - kupitirira theka la moyo wanga ndi ntchito yanga yonse. Ntchito yanga ndikuteteza nyanja ndipo monga mankhwala aku Cuba, gulu la sayansi ya ku Cuba limapitilira kulemera kwake. Zakhala zosangalatsa kugwira ntchito limodzi ndi asayansi achichepere aku Cuba omwe akugwira ntchito molimbika monga momwe amachitira kuti afufuze dziko lawo lanyanja pazachuma chachifupi komanso mwanzeru. Amapanga njira zothetsera ziwopsezo za m'nyanja zomwe tonse timakumana nazo, kaya ndife asosholisti kapena ma capitalist. Nkhani yanga ndi imodzi yogwirizana motsutsana ndi zovuta zonse komanso nkhani yomwe yandipatsa chiyembekezo. Ngati titha kugwirizana ndi mnansi wathu wakumwera kuti titetezere nyanja yathu yogawana, titha kuchita chilichonse.  

Ndizovuta kuwona zomwe zikuchitika ku Cuba. Ndikuwona achinyamata aku Cuba omwe sanakhalepo ndi zaka za golide zomwe anthu achikulire aku Cuba adachita, pomwe dongosolo la Socialist lidawapatsa zomwe amafunikira akafuna. Akulankhula kuposa kale ndipo akufuna kuti awamve. Amaona kuti dongosololi silikuyenda momwe liyenera kukhalira. 

Ndikuwonanso kukhumudwa kwa anthu aku Cuba aku America ngati ine omwe sadziwa chochita. Ena akufuna kulowererapo kwankhondo ku Cuba. Sindikunena tsopano, osati nthawi zonse. Sikuti dziko la Cuba silinapemphe kokha koma tiyenera kulemekeza ulamuliro wa dziko lililonse monga momwe tikuyembekezera dziko lathu. Ife monga dziko takhala pansi kwa zaka makumi asanu ndi limodzi osapereka dzanja kwa anthu aku Cuba, tangoika ziletso ndi zoletsa. 

Chokhacho chinali kuyanjana kwakanthawi kochepa pakati pa Purezidenti Barack Obama ndi Raul Castro komwe kwa anthu ambiri aku Cuba kudakhala nthawi yayitali ya chiyembekezo ndi mgwirizano. Tsoka ilo, idachotsedwa mwachangu, ndikudula chiyembekezo chamtsogolo limodzi. Kwa ntchito yanga yanga ku Cuba, kutsegulira kwachidule kunayimira pachimake chazaka zantchito yogwiritsa ntchito sayansi kupanga milatho. Sindinayambe ndasangalalapo ndi tsogolo la ubale wa Cuba ndi US. Ndinkanyadira malingaliro ndi mfundo zaku America. 

Ndimakhumudwa kwambiri ndikamva andale aku US akunena kuti tiyenera kuletsa ziletso ndikuyesera kupha Cuba ndi njala kuti igonjetse. N’chifukwa chiyani kupititsa patsogolo kuvutika kwa anthu 11 miliyoni kuli njira yothetsera vutoli? Ngati aku Cuba adadutsa nthawi yapaderayi, adutsanso nthawi yovutayi.  

Ndinawona wolemba nyimbo waku Cuba waku America Pitbull lankhulani mwachidwi pa Instagram, koma osapereka malingaliro pazomwe ife monga gulu tingachite. Zili choncho chifukwa pali zochepa zomwe tingachite. Embargo yatimanga unyolo. Zatichotsa kuti tisakhale ndi zonena m'tsogolo la Cuba. Ndipo chifukwa cha chimenecho tili ndi mlandu. Izi sizikuyika mlandu pa embargo ya kuvutika ku Cuba. Chomwe ndikutanthauza ndichakuti chiletsocho chimatsutsana ndi malingaliro aku America ndipo chifukwa chake chachepetsa zosankha zathu monga diaspora kuyesera kuthandiza abale ndi alongo athu kudutsa Florida Straits.

Zomwe tikufunikira pakali pano ndikulumikizana kwambiri ndi Cuba. Osachepera. Achinyamata aku Cuba aku America akuyenera kutsogolera. Kugwedeza mbendera zaku Cuba, kutsekereza misewu yayikulu ndikugwira zikwangwani za SOS Cuba sikokwanira.  

Tsopano tiyenera kupempha kuti chiletsocho chichotsedwe kuti aletse kuvutika kwa anthu aku Cuba. Tiyenera kusefukira pachilumbachi ndi chifundo chathu.  

Kuletsa kwa US motsutsana ndi Cuba ndikuphwanya ufulu wachibadwidwe komanso ufulu wa anthu aku America. Limatiuza kuti sitingathe kuyenda kapena kugwiritsa ntchito ndalama zathu kumene tikufuna. Sitingathe kugulitsa ndalama zothandizira anthu komanso sitingathe kusinthanitsa chidziwitso, makhalidwe abwino ndi katundu. Yakwana nthawi yoti tibweze mawu athu ndikulankhula momwe timachitira ndi dziko lathu. 

Makilomita 90 am'nyanja ndi zonse zomwe zimatilekanitsa ndi Cuba. Koma nyanja imatilumikizanso. Ndine wonyadira zomwe ndachita ku The Ocean Foundation ndi anzanga aku Cuba kuti nditeteze zida zapamadzi zomwe zimagawana nawo. Ndi kuyika mgwirizano pamwamba pa ndale kuti titha kuthandiza anthu aku Cuba 11 miliyoni omwe amatifuna. Ife monga Achimereka tikhoza kuchita bwino.
