Musi weSvondo, July 11, vazhinji vedu takaona mifananidzo inoshamisa ye kuratidzira muCuba. SomuAmerica wokuCuba, ndakashamiswa kuona kusagadzikana. Kwemakore makumi matanhatu apfuura Cuba yanga iri muenzaniso wekugadzikana muLatin America pakatarisana nezvirango zvehupfumi zveUS, kupera kwehondo yechando, uye nguva yakakosha kubva muna 1990-1995 apo mazuva ese maCuba ainzwa nzara sezvo rubatsiro rweSoviet rwakaoma. Nguva ino inonzwa zvakasiyana. COVID-19 yakawedzera kutambura kukuru kuhupenyu hwevaCuba sezvayakaita pasirese. Ipo Cuba isina kugadzira imwe chete, asi majekiseni maviri anokwikwidza kushanda kweaya akagadzirwa muUS, Europe neChina, denda iri riri kufamba nekukurumidza kupfuura majekiseni anogona kuramba achienderera. Sezvataona muUS, chirwere ichi hachitore musungwa. 

Ndinovenga kuona nyika yevabereki vangu ichimanikidzwa zvakadaro. Akazvarwa muColombia nevabereki vakasiya Cuba vari vana, handisi wako wemazuva ese Cuban-American. Vazhinji vekuCuba-America vakarererwa muMiami seni havana kumbobvira vaenda kuCuba, uye vanongoziva nyaya dzevabereki vavo. Sezvo ndaenda kuCuba kanopfuura ka90, ndinoona kuti vanhu vepachitsuwa chacho vanonzwa sei. Ndinonzwa kurwadziwa kwavo uye ndinoshuva kurerukirwa kukutambudzika kwavo. 

Ndakashanda muCuba kubvira 1999 - inopfuura hafu yehupenyu hwangu nebasa rangu rose. Mutsara wangu webasa kuchengetedzwa kwegungwa uye semushonga weCuba, nharaunda yesainzi yeCuban yesainzi inosundira kupfuura huremu hwayo. Zvave zvichifadza kushanda nemasayendisiti echidiki ekuCuba ari kushanda nesimba sezvaanoita kuti aongorore nyika yavo yegungwa pamabhajeti ekukurumidza uye nehungwaru hwakakura. Ivo vanogadzira mhinduro kune kutyisidzira kwegungwa kwatinotarisana nako tese, tingave tiri vesocialist kana macapitalist. Nyaya yangu ndeyekubatirana zvisizvo uye inyaya yakandipa tariro. Kana tikakwanisa kushanda pamwe nemuvakidzani wedu wekumaodzanyemba kuchengetedza gungwa redu rakagovaniswa, tinogona kuita chero chinhu.  

Zvakaoma kuona zviri kuitika kuCuba. Ndinoona vechidiki vekuCuba vasina kumborarama munguva dzegoridhe dzakaitwa nevakuru vekuCuba, apo hurongwa hwesocialist hwakavapa zvavaida pavaida. Vari kutaura zvavanoda zvisina kumbobvira zvaitika uye vanoda kunzwiwa. Vanonzwa kuti hurongwa hausi kushanda sezvainofanirwa. 

Iniwo ndinoona kushushikana kubva kuCuba America seni vasingazive zvekuita. Vamwe vanoda kupindira kwemauto muCuba. Handitauri ikozvino uye kwete narinhi. Haisi iyo Cuba chete haina kuikumbira asi isu tinofanira kuremekedza hutongi hwenyika chero ipi zvayo sezvatinotarisira zvakafanana kunyika yedu. Isu senyika takagara pasi kwemakumi matanhatu emakore uye tisina kupa ruoko kuvanhu veCuba, takangoisa zvirango nezvirambidzo. 

Chinhu chimwe chete chaive chekugarisana kwenguva pfupi pakati peVatungamiri Barack Obama naRaul Castro zvekuti kune vazhinji vekuCuba yaive nguva pfupi yetariro nekubatana. Zvinosuruvarisa, zvakakurumidza kubviswa, zvichigura tariro yeramangwana pamwe chete. Kubasa rangu pachangu muCuba, kuvhurwa kupfupi kwakamiririra makore ekupedzisira ebasa rekushandisa sainzi kugadzira mabhiriji. Ndisati ndambonzwa kufara nezveramangwana rehukama hweCuba-US. Ndaidada nepfungwa dzeAmerica nehunhu. 

Ini ndinotonyanya kushushikana pandinonzwa vezvematongerwo enyika vekuUS vachiti tinoda kugadzirisa zvirambidzo uye kuyedza kufa nenzara Cuba kuti izviise pasi. Nei kupfuuridzira kutambura kwavanhu vane mamiriyoni 11 chiri chigadzikiso? Kana maCubans akazviita kuburikidza nenguva yakakosha, ivo vachazviitawo kuburikidza nenguva ino yakaoma.  

Ndakaona rapper wekuCuba wekuAmerica Pitbull taura zvine shungu pa Instagram, asi usape mazano pane zvatinokwanisa kuita senharaunda. Imhaka yekuti pane zvishoma zvatinokwanisa kuita. Embargo yatisunga maoko. Zvakatibvisa pakutaura mune ramangwana reCuba. Uye nokuda kwaizvozvo tine mhosva pachedu. Izvi hazvisi kupa mhosva pazvirango zvekutambura muCuba. Zvandinoreva ndezvekuti zvirango zvinopesana nemafungiro eAmerica uye nekudaro zvakaganhurira sarudzo dzedu sediaspora tichiedza kubatsira hama nehanzvadzi dzedu mhiri kweFlorida Straits.

Chatinoda iko zvino kufambidzana neCuba. Kwete zvishoma. Vechidiki vekuCuba-America vanofanirwa kunge vachitungamira mhosva. Kusimudza mireza yeCuba, kuvhara migwagwa mikuru uye kubata zviratidzo zveSOS Cuba hazvina kukwana.  

Zvino isu tinofanira kuda kuti embargo ibviswe kumisa kutambura kwevanhu veCuba. Tinofanira kufashamira chiwi netsitsi dzedu.  

Kurambidzwa kweUS kuCuba ndiko kushungurudzwa kwekupedzisira kwekodzero dzevanhu uye rusununguko rwevaAmerica. Inotiudza kuti hatigoni kufamba kana kushandisa mari yedu kwatinoda. Hatikwanise kuisa mari murubatsiro rwevanhu kana kupanana ruzivo, hunhu uye zvigadzirwa. Yave nguva yekudzosa izwi redu uye kutaura mabatiro atinoita nenyika yedu. 

90 mamaira egungwa ndizvo zvese zvinotiparadzanisa neCuba. Asi gungwa rinotibatanidzawo. Ndinodada nezvandakaita kuThe Ocean Foundation nevamwe vangu vekuCuba kuchengetedza zviwanikwa zvemugungwa zvakagovaniswa. Iko nekuisa kubatana pamusoro pezvematongerwo enyika kuti tinogona kubatsira zvechokwadi maCuba 11 mamirioni anotida. Isu sevanhu vekuAmerica tinogona kuita zvirinani.
