Isihloko esivela ku-Associated Press @AP (https://apnews.com/article/syria-alawite-women-kidnapped-militants-extremists-rape-a469660022301de378d1fa130467bec0#)

Latakia, eSiriya — Lo wesifazane, ongumAlawite waseSiriya, wayehamba eya ekhaya ngosuku olunelanga ngoJulayi edolobheni lakubo ogwini lwaseMedithera lapho amadoda amathathu ahlomile emmisa futhi emphoqelela ukuba angene elolini lawo. Kwakuwukuqala kwesonto lokuhlushwa.

Bamyisa edolobheni elisenyakatho yeSyria, amahora amathathu ukusuka lapho, lapho bamvalela khona ekamelweni elingaphakathi kwesakhiwo esishiywe dengwane. Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezalandela, wadlwengulwa kabili, utshele i-Associated Press.

Uthe omunye wabadlwenguli bakhe wamtshela ukuthi, "Nina besifazane base-Alawi nazalelwa ukuba nibe yizithunjwa zethu," esebenzisa igama lesi-Arabhu elivamile phakathi kwabashisekeli benkolo yamaSunni ukuchaza abesifazane abathathwe njengezigqila zocansi empini. Lo wesifazane, oneminyaka ephakathi kwengu-30, wanikeza ubufakazi bakhe ngombandela wokungaziwa ngenxa yokwesaba ukuphindiselelwa.

Kusukela ekuweni kukaMengameli wangaphambilini waseSiriya uBashar al-Assad ngonyaka odlule, abesifazane abaningi beqembu lama-Alawite—lapho u-Assad engowakhona—baye bathunjwa futhi bahlukunyezwa ngokocansi, ngokusho kwezinhlangano zamalungelo abantu. Ezimweni eziningi, lokhu kuhlasela kubonakala sengathi kwenziwe ngabashisekeli benkolo yamaSunni kanye nama-jihadist ashukunyiswa inzondo yamahlelo.

Lokhu kuphakamise izinsolo zokuthi abanye babenzi bobubi babengabangane bakaHayat Tahrir al-Sham noma ababengabangane bakhe bangaphambili, iqembu lamaSulumane elihlomile elaxosha u-Assad futhi elaliholwa ngu-Ahmed al-Sharaa, umongameli wesikhashana wamanje waseSyria. Abalwi be-jihadist bangaphandle kanye nama-Syrian extremist balwa kanye noHayat Tahrir al-Sham phakathi neminyaka yempi yombango yaseSyria.

Izinhlangano zamalungelo abantu zithi ukuhlaselwa kwabesifazane base-Alawite kubonakala kuyizenzo ezizimele nezingezona ezihlelekile. Kodwa izishoshovu zamalungelo abantu kanye nezisulu zigcizelela ukuthi iziphathimandla ezintsha zaseSyria azenzi okwanele ukuvimba lokhu kuhlaselwa. Ephendula intukuthelo yomphakathi, uhulumeni wasungula ikomidi elizophenya ngokuthunjwa okubikiwe, kodwa wathi iningi lazo lithole ukuthi yizimangalo ezingamanga.

U-Agnès Callamard, uNobhala Jikelele we-Amnesty International, uthi ukuthunjwa “akunakuphikwa.”

Wanezela: "Inkinga ayinakunakwa ngoba nje iyacasula noma ngoba ilulaza umyalezo nesithombe seziphathimandla."

Okhulumela uMnyango Wezangaphakathi waseSiriya akazange aphendule imibuzo ephindaphindwayo mayelana nalokhu kuhlasela.

I-Associated Press ixoxisane nabesifazane ababili abadlwengulwa kanye noyedwa owathunjwa, kanye namalungu omndeni wezinye izisulu ezine. Kwamathathu amacala, ukuhlaselwa kwakuhlanganisa nokudlwengulwa. Bonke bakhulume ngemibandela yokungaziwa, besaba ukuziphindiselela. Owesifazane oyedwa uthe wesaba ukuthi iziphathimandla ngeke zimvikele futhi kamuva wacela i-AP ukuthi ingashicileli indaba yakhe.

Bonke abesifazane nezihlobo okwaxoxwa nabo bathi babikile ngalesi sigameko emaphoyiseni nokuthi izitatimende zabo zithathwe. Akucaci ukuthi iziphathimandla zilandelele uphenyo noma zibophe abantu.

Inkinga engenakuphikwa

I-Amnesty International ibike ekuqaleni kwalonyaka ukuthi ithole imibiko ethembekile yokuthi okungenani abesifazane namantombazane angama-36 ase-Alawite bathunjwa phakathi kukaFebhuwari noJulayi. Lokhu kuthunjwa kwenzeke enkabeni yama-Alawite, ezifundazweni ezisogwini zaseLatakia naseTartus, kanye nasezifundazweni ezingomakhelwane zaseHoms naseHama.

Nakuba kuncane kakhulu ngobukhulu, lokhu kuhlasela kuvusa izinkumbulo ezimnyama zokugqilazwa kwezinkulungwane zabesifazane baseYazidi yi-Islamic State eminyakeni eyishumi edlule e-Iraq. Abanye abashisekeli benkolo yamaSunni babheka ama-Alawite “njengamambuka” futhi bakholelwa ukuthi ukubamba nokugqilaza abesifazane babo kuvunyelwe ngokwenkolo. Abanye bahlose ama-Alawite ukuze baziphindiselele ngobudlova obenziwa kumaSunni ngesikhathi sokubusa komndeni wakwa-Assad kweminyaka engu-54, okwakuphawulwa ubudlova bocansi obusakazekile kwabesifazane ezindaweni zokuboshwa.

Ukuhlaselwa kwabesifazane kuye kwanda kusukela ngoMashi, lapho ukungqubuzana phakathi kwabasekeli baka-Assad namasosha ezokuphepha kwaphenduka ubudlova obuhambisana namaqembu enkolo lapho amakhulu abantu abavamile, ikakhulukazi ama-Alawi, babulawa khona yizilwi ezisekela uhulumeni.

Ikomidi elingaphakathi koMnyango Wezangaphakathi liphenye amacala okuthumba angu-42 kodwa lathola elilodwa kuphela eliyiqiniso, ngokusho kokhulumela uMnyango uNoureddine al-Baba maphakathi noNovemba. Uthe amacala asele ayengamanga, izimo zabesifazane ababaleka nabalingani babo abathandanayo, ukubalekela udlame lwasekhaya, ukusongela, noma ubufebe—ngaphandle kokunikeza ubufakazi.

URami Abdul Rahman, umqondisi we-Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, uthi umbiko womnyango "awuhlobene neqiniso."

"Ukwesaba okuqhubekayo"

Owesifazane owathunjwa evenini uthe abathumbi bakhe abathathu babengabaseSyria futhi begqoke izingubo ezimnyama, kodwa wayengaboni zimpawu ezimhlukanisayo. Badlule ezindaweni eziningana zokuhlola zokuphepha endleleni kodwa abazange baseshwe.

Uthe inqwaba yamadoda abephethe izibhamu ayengaphakathi kwesakhiwo lapho ayeboshwe khona. “Nganginomuzwa wokuthi sekuphelile, ukuthi ngizofa. Ngangingalindele ukuthi ngizobuya,” kusho yena.

Ngosuku lwesithathu, indoda eyayigqoke izifihla-buso yamdlwengula. Kamuva, indoda ebizwa ngokuthi u-Abu Muhammad—yilokho amavukela-mbuso ayembiza ngakho—yafika yayala ukuba akhululwe, ithi ukuthunjwa kwakhe kwakubangele umsindo omkhulu ezinkundleni zokuxhumana. Ngakusasa, enye indoda eyayigqoke izifihla-buso yamdlwengula, futhi wayengenakukwazi ukubona ukuthi kwakuyinto efanayo yini.

Ngemva kwesonto, izidlamlilo zamshiya edolobhaneni esifundazweni saseHama. Owesifazane othile wamthola wamthatha waya naye emzini wakhe, lapho axhumana khona nesihlobo.

Ngemva kokubuyela ekhaya, wavakashela udokotela wezifo zabesifazane wathola ukuthi ukhulelwe. Wakwazi ukukhipha isisu, yize ukukhipha isisu kungavunyelwe eSiriya.

Umyeni wakhe waqala wakwamukela okwenzekile, kodwa washintsha umqondo wakhe ngemva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa wanquma ukumdivosa ashade nomunye wesifazane. "Wayengeyena indoda enesibopho," kusho yena.

Manje uhlala nendodana yakhe encane futhi uthi ufuna ukuhamba eSyria.

“Ngihlala nginovalo,” kusho yena.

abalwi bakwamanye amazwe

Omunye wesifazane uthe izihlobo zakhe ezimbili, enye yazo engumshana, zathunjwa emgwaqweni ngoMashi yizilwi zakwamanye amazwe. Ngokusho kwakhe, amantombazane agcinwe engaphansi kwendlu emahoreni ambalwa ukusuka lapho, lapho le ntombazane yadlwengulwa khona yindoda efanayo izinsuku eziyishumi. Enye intombazane yadlwengulwa yindoda ehlukile cishe izinyanga ezimbili ngaphambi kokuba bakhululwe.

Esinye isisulu, esineminyaka engu-19 ubudala, sithi sathunjwa ekuqaleni kukaJulayi ngamasosha amathathu angaphandle ayegqoke izifihla-buso — oyedwa wase-Iraq kanye nababili abangewona ama-Arabhu.

Omunye wabo wathi kuye, "Nina ma-Alawi ningabantu abangcolile abangakholwa." Lapho emncenga ukuba ambonise umusa, wamshaya ikhanda efasiteleni lemoto waze wopha.

Wayeboshiwe engaphansi kwendlu yendoda yase-Iraq. Yamsongela ngokumbulala uma ingamvumeli ukuthi amthinte. Lapho eqala ukumemeza, wahamba, esaba ukuthi omakhelwane bazomuzwa.

Uthe wazama ukuzibulala ngokuphula ingilazi nokusika umthambo wakhe, kodwa inxeba lalingajulile ngokwanele.

Ngosuku olulandelayo, indoda yase-Iraq yamtshela ukuthi "u-emir" wakhe unqume ukumkhulula "ngombandela wokuthi uzofunda ubuSulumane." Ngakusasa ekuseni, wamfaka emotweni nomkakhe nezingane zakhe. Endleleni, wamtshela ukuthi angatsheli abantu ukuthi uthunjiwe, kodwa athi uphumile ukuyofunda ubuSulumane. Wabe esema wamthengela amaswidi ngaphambi kokumshiya egaraji lezimoto e-Idlib.

Ngemva kokubuyela ekhaya, umphenyi wombuso weza kuye wambuza ukuthi kwenzekeni. Wakwazi ukuhlonza indoda yase-Iraq kusukela ku-video yekhamera yokuphepha esitolo samaswidi. Akwaziwa ukuthi iboshiwe yini, futhi iziphathimandla azikaphawuli ngalolu daba.

Ngenxa yokwesaba komndeni ukuziphindiselela, bashiya iSiriya.
