ʻO Peter Tarlow kahi loea palekana a me ka mākaʻikaʻi huakaʻi i hoʻouna ʻia i kēia hōʻike mai ʻEulopa.
I nehinei ua haʻalele wau iā Croatia a komo i Bosnia-Herzegovina. I hoʻokahi kilomita ua huakaʻi wau i mau mile moʻomeheu. ʻO Kroasia ko ʻEulopa komohana, Bosnia, ʻoiai kahi puka aʻe kahi honua ʻē aʻe. ʻO kekahi o ko mākou wahi i hele ai ma laila ka "infamous" Bridge ma Mostar, ke kahua o ka hakakā nui ma waena o Croats a me nā Muslim.
ʻO kahi wahi he mea hoʻomanaʻo nui ia no ka maopopo ʻana o ka poʻe komohana iki i ka huaʻōlelo "aupuni aupuni" i pili ʻole i kēia ʻāpana o ka honua kahi e hoʻomau mau ai nā lāhui a me nā "mokuʻāina" (états) i mau manaʻo hoʻokaʻawale loa ʻelua. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ma ka honua hiki i kekahi ke hoʻomaopopo i ke kumu o nā ʻōlelo e like me English, Palani, a i ʻole Paniolo hamper ka maopopo o ka manaʻo; ʻAʻole hōʻike wale kā lākou ʻauhau huaʻōlelo o ka hapa nui o ko ke ao nei.
No ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻike kikoʻī a me ka ʻoi loa o ka ʻike politika i kēia ʻāpana o ka honua, e heluhelu hou i ka Buke a ʻEsetera. Kōkua ka puke Baibala i ka poʻe komohana i kēia au e hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole wale i ka lexicon politika pololei akā pehea ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka ʻōlelo ma kēia ʻāpana o ka honua "ʻo ka poʻe e hoʻopoina ʻole i ka mōʻaukala e hoʻohewa pinepine ʻia e relive ia!"
ʻO ke alahaka ʻo Mostar: kahi alahaka i ke kaua
ʻO Bosnia kahi "mokuʻāina" i haku ʻia o nā lāhui he nui, ke hakakā nei kēlā me kēia e mālama i kona ʻano a ma kahi o ka huaʻōlelo "hoʻomana" i ka manaʻo Komohana. Eia hou, huikau nā ʻōlelo komohana ma mua o ka wehewehe ʻana i nā huaʻōlelo e hoʻokumu ana i kahi hodgepodge o nā manaʻo kuhihewa a me nā kulekele politika i hopena i ka pōʻino a me ka make.
ʻO kahi laʻana, ke kuleana o Pelekane a me Palani i nā kaua Balkan o 1990 kahi hiʻohiʻona o ka naʻaupō politika maikaʻi ʻole a i ʻole ka hana hoʻopunipuni politika i hui pū ʻia me nā kaona kaumaha o nā kulekele Machiavellian. Pili paha nā hoʻoholo politika i nā mea kākau moʻolelo o kēlā me kēia kanaka akā kaumaha nā hopena no ka poʻe e noho nei a noho me kēia mau kulekele alakaʻi hewa i kēlā me kēia lā.
ʻO ka mea kupanaha, ʻo ka mea hou aʻe e heluhelu i ka pāpāho o ke Komohana a me kāna mea i kapa ʻia he pundits ʻepekema e hoʻomaopopo ʻole ka mea liʻiliʻi. ʻO nā hopena he kuhi hewa politika i alakaʻi pinepine ʻia i nā hopena weliweli.
Ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Mostar, Muslim Quarter
Ua komo wau me kaʻu mau hoaaloha mākaʻi i Bosnia i kahi lā anuanu, ʻehu, a ua. Ua hoʻopiha ke aniau i ka moʻolelo o ka wahi a hana i kahi ʻano makaʻu weliweli nona nā ao e like me ka hana ʻana i kahi alo o nā ʻoiaʻiʻo pale. E like me ka hoʻokaʻawale a hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ʻana o ka mōʻaukala o kekahi alanui a i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia hoʻi mai kā kona hoalauna a pēlā nō hoʻi me ka noe a me nā manawa o ka lā e hōʻike ana i ka cacophony o nā moʻomeheu i kahe ma o nā laina politika.
Ma aneʻi ua hoʻopili nā moʻomeheu Ottoman 19-kenekulia i nā moʻomeheu Katolika ma nā ala i maopopo ʻole i ka poʻe komohana.
Ma kēia ʻāpana o ka honua, ʻike ʻoe i kahi hale ʻaina e pāʻani nei i nā wikiō o ke kaua ma kahi o ʻekolu mau makahiki a ʻoi paha ke nānā aku i nehinei a kāwili ʻia i kēia mau hiʻohiʻona me nā mele pop komohana. Ma waho o ka hoʻomaopopo o ka awelika "ʻike" maikaʻi ka poʻe komohana komohana.
Ma hope o kekahi lā kālaiʻāina politika a me ka mōʻaukala, hoʻi au i Croatia, kahi ʻāina kahi o ka ʻaoʻao hikina o ka wā kahiko a me ke komohana o Austrian-Hungarian Empire e pā i ka popurrí o nā lāhui a me nā poʻe i haku i ka Ottoman Empire. Ke hoʻi nei i Western European Split, kahi wahi e like me ka home, ʻaʻole wau wale no ka pizza no ka ʻaina awakea akā ua hui pū ʻia me kaʻu ukana. ʻO ka hopena ia o kahi lā kūpono o ke komo ʻana i ka noʻonoʻo paʻakikī o kahi honua ʻokoʻa loa iaʻu.
Aloha i nā mea āpau
Palekana maikaʻi ʻia e nā mākaʻi Giant Croatia
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- After a day of political and historical intrigue, I returned to Croatia, a land where the eastern part of the old and western-oriented Austrian-Hungarian Empire touches the popurrí of nationalities and peoples that composed the Ottoman Empire.
- The Biblical book helps modern day westerners to understand not only the correct political lexicon but also how true is the statement in this part of the world that “those who fail to forget history are often condemned to relive it.
- The place is a great reminder of how little westerners understand that the term “nation-state” has nothing to do with this part of the world where nations and “states” (états) continue to be two very separate concepts.
