Isongo lobuphekula singenza izivakashi zizwe zingaphephile
Izimpi e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq, izenzakalo ze-9/11, ukuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu eBondon ngo-2005, kanye nokuhlasela okwedlule kwamaphekula enhloko-dolobha yaseBrithani kungenza ucabange kabili ngokuvakashela inhloko-dolobha engaphandle njengeLondon. Kuyadabukisa ukuthi kukhona ukwesaba okunjalo ngeLondon.
Abantu baseMelika bathi bakhathazekile ngokuza eLondon ngoba abazi ukuthi bangamukelwa kanjani.
Kubonakala kube namahloni ukuthi abantu abafuna nje ukuhlola izindawo ezintsha kumele babe nalokhu okukhathazayo.
Kuyiqiniso ukuthi kukhona inhlangano enkulu yezempi e-UK, njenge-Stop the War Coalition, nokuthi e-UK, kunemibukiso evame ukuphikisa amabutho ase-UK e-Iraq. Kodwa lokhu akusho ukuthi izakhamizi zase-US azivunyelwe eLondon.
ILondon ingenye yemizi emikhulu emhlabeni futhi idolobha elinabantu abaningi e-European Union. Ngomqondo walo, inhloko-dolobha yaseBrithani iyinhlangano emangalisayo yemiphakathi ehlukahlukene, i-polyglot lapho abantu bezizwe eziningi, izinkolo nezinhlanga ezihlala ndawonye bejabule kakhulu ngaleso sikhathi. ELondon, kunabantu abayizigidi ezingu-7, abakhuluma izilimi ezingu-300, nokulandela izinkolelo ezingu-14. Uma ngabe ukuhlukahluka okunjalo kukhula eLondon, kungani abantu baseLondon bengakamukeli izivakashi zezilwandle?
Ubuphekula bomhlaba buye kwaholela ukwehla kwezivakashi zase-US, futhi, ngenxa yalokho, ukuvakasha kweLondon kuye kwahlupheka.
Amahhotela nezindawo ezikhangayo ezinkulu yizo zonke zebhizinisi ezilahlekile ngenxa yokudonsa kwenani lezivakashi zase-US, ezithinta kakhulu umkhakha wezokuvakasha waseLondon. Kunezinhlelo eziningi zokukhohlisa abaseMelika babuye eLondon, futhi ama-travel agent ayecelwa ukuba akhuthaze amadili aphakethe akhethekile okuya eLondon.
I-CBS News yenza i-poll ngo-2006 ibuza, Iminyaka emihlanu emva kuka-9/11, uzizwa uphephile kanjani? Ngokusho kwemiphumela, amaphesenti angu-54 aseMelika athi ngokuvamile ayezizwa ephephile, kuyilapho u-46% bethi bazizwa behlulekile noma bengengozini. Ngamanye amazwi, imibono yahlala ihlukaniswe kakhulu.
Kodwa kwakukhona isizathu sokulindela. Ngo-Julayi 2007, ukuphepha e-London poll ithola ukuthi abahambahambayo abaningi emhlabeni wonke ngeke bashintshe izinhlelo zabo zokuhamba ngemuva kokusongela kwamaphekula. Abahambi bayisigaba esiphezulu futhi esiphikelelayo.
Lokhu kuyaqhubeka. Uma abantu bephupha ukuhamba endaweni ethile, bazoyithola indlela yokwenza. Uma kubenza bajabule, bazokwenza yonke imizamo yokwenza.
Nokho, kukhona isizathu sokuqapha. Noma ubani oya edolobheni langaphandle noma endaweni, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uhambo lwakhe lokuqala noma lwama-20, kufanele athathe imikhuba yokuphepha yomuntu siqu, njengokuhamba njalo nomngani wakhe, ukugwema imibuthano emikhulu yabantu, nokuhlala kude nezinqolobane ezinkulu, njengamabheji angaphandle, lapho ibhomu lingase lifihlwe khona. Lokho kunengqondo.
I-London Tourist Board inikeza amathiphu okuphepha kubavakashi. UMeya waseLondon uphinde ashicilele izinkomba zokuthuthukisa ukuphepha kwabakhanti uma bephuma ngaphandle nangaphezulu. Funda konke lokhu bese uwafaka enhliziyweni.
Ukuqwashisa okuphakanyisiwe nokuziphatha okuqaphile okwengeziwe kungalondoloza izimpilo.
Kubuye kuhlakaniphe ukuhlola ukuthi ubone ukuhamba okuphawula izindaba zakho zikahulumeni kazwelonke. Kubantu baseMelika, uMnyango Wezezwe wase-US ukhuluma ngezixwayiso ezinjalo kanye nezixwayiso.
Uma ungena noma uya eLondon, ungabheka iwebhusayithi ye-Embassy yase-United States eLondon njalo lapho ufisa izindaba zobuphekula bese ubona ukuthi ngabe kukhona yini isenzo samanje esingavusa isaziso noma isixwayiso somsebenzi wamaphekula owingozi.
