SENGGIGI, Lombok Island—ʻO ka wahi ʻai ma ka Sheraton Senggigi Beach Resort ka mea nui i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi Australia ma ka Pōʻakahi, kahi mea i manaʻo ʻole ʻia i ke kakahiaka ma hope o ka hoʻokō ʻia ʻana o nā mea hoʻokuʻu ʻekolu o Bali i hoʻāla ai i nā hopohopo no ka hiki ke hoʻopaʻi ʻia i nā poʻe Komohana o kēia ʻāina.
He mau pule ma mua o ka hoʻopaʻi ʻia ʻana, ua hoʻopuka nā aupuni Australian, UK a me US i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo huakaʻi e kūʻē i nā huakaʻi "pono ʻole" i kekahi mau wahi o Indonesia-ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Bali he 20 mau minuke lele mai Lombok.
ʻO Peter Dillon ka lāhui Australia i hala i hoʻokahi pule ma Bali me kāna wahine, ʻelua mau kaikamahine a me 37 mau kānaka ʻē aʻe i ka wā i pepehi ʻia ai nā mea hoʻopā Bali iā Amrozi, Imam Samudra a me Muklas ma ka hale paʻahao Nusa Kambangan ma Central Java.
“He mare kā mākou e hele mai ai a ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻopaneʻe ʻia. ʻO ia ke kumu i hele mai ai mākou i ʻaneʻi, "wahi a Dillon i ka hālāwai ninaninau ma ka Pōʻakahi.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Dillon ua hopohopo lākou e pili ana i ka hoʻopaʻi ʻana i nā poʻe Komohana e like me ka ʻōlelo a ko lākou aupuni ma mua o ko lākou haʻalele ʻana i Indonesia, akā "i ko mākou hiki ʻana i ʻaneʻi ʻaʻole mākou."
Ma hope o hoʻokahi pule ma Bali, noho ka hui o Dillon ma Senggigi no ʻekolu lā, a laila hoʻi i Bali no ʻekolu lā ma mua o ka hoʻi ʻana i ka mokulele.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Stephen Williams, ʻo ia me ka hui o Dillon: “ʻAʻohe makaʻu… ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, inā e hiki mai ana, e hiki mai ana. Hiki ke hana ma Australia. ʻAʻole pili ka hiki i kahi e hiki mai ai, no laila e hoʻomau.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Dillon lāua ʻo Williams ua "hōʻino lākou i ka nele o ka mākaʻikaʻi" ma Bali, kahi i pani ʻia ai nā hale kūʻai he nui ma hope o ka pōʻino o ʻOkakopa 12, 2002, i make ai 202 mau kānaka, 88 o lākou he mau Australia.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Williams i kāna huakaʻi i Bali—ʻo kāna huakaʻi mua, e like me ka hapa nui o kāna hui—ua "maʻamau" ke kūlana a manaʻo ʻo ia e loaʻa hou ka mokupuni kaulana i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi a me kāna ʻoihana i nalowale i ka pana ʻana i Bali, a i kēia manawa, ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka poʻe pōā.
Me he mea lā e hōʻoia i ke ʻano maʻamau o ke kūlana ma Bali, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Williams "ʻo ka mea aʻu i ʻike ai me kahi mea kaua aia i loko o kahi panakō ma Kuta."
“E hoʻi mākou [i Bali]. ʻAe, ʻoiaʻiʻo, "wahi āna.
Ua hoʻoholo kekahi poʻe huakaʻi e hana hewa ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka makaʻala a hōʻike ʻia ua kāpae ʻia ko lākou komo ʻana i ka lua Lombok Triathlon ma Senggigi, i mālama ʻia ma ka lā hoʻokahi e like me ka hoʻopaʻi ʻana, no ka mea ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke lele i Lombok me ka ʻole o kahi hoʻomaha ma Jakarta.
Ua haʻi ʻo Akhmad Fadholi, ka luna o nā lumi lumi o ka Sheraton Senggigi Beach Resort, i loko o kahi hālāwai ninaninau e pili ana i nā hopohopo e pili ana i ka hopena o ka hoʻopaʻi ʻana ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia ma kahi o 30 mau mea hui triathlon mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me ʻEulopa e hoʻopau i kā lākou huakaʻi a, no laila, ʻo kā lākou puke me ka hōkele.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Fadholi ʻaʻole hiki i nā mea komo ke loaʻa kahi noho ma Silk Air, e lele ana mai Singapore a Lombok me ka hele ʻole ʻana ma Jakarta.
"Ma ka loaʻa ʻana o nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo huakaʻi, ʻaʻole maʻalahi loa lākou e lele ma luna o Lombok me nā ʻano mokulele ke ʻole lākou e lele i ka Silk Air, akā lele wale ia i Lombok ʻekolu manawa o ka pule. Ua hana nui mākou e hōʻoiaʻiʻo iā lākou hiki iā lākou ke lele i Lombok ma o Jakarta, "i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, akā ʻaʻole i loaʻa.
ʻO ka lāhui Pelekania ʻo Colin Alexander lāua ʻo Chin Siew Yoon, ʻelua i noho ma Singapore, ua lawe i ka Silk Air a hoʻokō i ke komo ʻana i ka triathlon e like me kā lāua i hoʻolālā ai i nā mahina ma mua.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Alexander ʻo Lombok he mea hoʻoweliweli ʻole paha. "Malia paha e loaʻa nā hopena ma Bali akā ʻaʻole wau i manaʻo e loaʻa i Lombok no ka mea ʻaʻole lawa ka pahuhopu. Inā makemake ʻoe e hoʻopaʻi hoʻopaʻi, makemake ʻoe e lawe i nā ola he nui a makemake ʻoe e lawe i nā keikikāne keʻokeʻo e like me ka hiki. ʻAʻole e loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi hoʻihoʻi maikaʻi o kāu kālā pana, e ʻōlelo mākou, "wahi āna.
I ka noho ʻana ma ʻAsia no nā makahiki he 28 i hala iho nei, ua maopopo iā ia, ua hoʻohui ʻo ia, ʻo ia mau hanana, inā e hana ʻia, "he mea nui loa."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Scottishman ʻo Neil Anderson ma Jakarta, aia ma kahi hoʻomaha Lombok me kāna wahine a me kāna kaikamahine ʻekolu makahiki, ʻo ke kānāwai o ke koʻokoʻo e pale aku i nā wahi ma Bali kahi e ʻākoakoa ai nā haole.
“Ua hōʻole au i ka hele ʻana i Bali a i Java Hikina paha i ka pule i hala… E hele hou ana au akā e koho pono au i ka hōkele a mākou i noho ai, a ʻaʻole paha wau e hele i waho i nā kaola a i ʻole nā hale pō kahi i nui ai nā malihini a i ʻole ka poʻe haole," wahi a Anderson.
