Ua hoʻi mai ʻo Lebanona mākaʻikaʻi mai kahi wā hoʻomaha

Ua ʻike ka ʻāina i kāna kau mākaʻikaʻi nui loa i kēia kauwela, a he pilikia ia. Ua hoʻonāwaliwali ke kaua i nā ʻoihana Lebanona, a ua hāʻule nā ​​lawelawe kumu e like me ka uila a me ka wai.

He kauwela maikaʻi ia no Georges Boustany. ʻO kāna hui kahakai kaulana ʻo Lazy B, ua ulu maikaʻi ʻo ia i ka helu ʻana o ka poʻe malihini kipa i ke kahakai one kaulana o Lebanona no ka mea i kapa ʻia e nā luna ʻo ke kau mākaʻikaʻi lanakila loa o ka ʻāina.

Akā ʻo ka hoʻoulu ʻana ua hoʻokaumaha loa i nā ʻōnaehana nāwaliwali o ke kaua a i ka hopena o ʻAukake, ua loaʻa ʻo Lazy B ma kahi o 12 mau hola o ka uila i ka lā, a laila haʻahaʻa loa ka uila a ua koi ʻia ʻo Boustany e hoʻonui iā ia me kahi pahu diesel mīkini hana hana. Ua hilinaʻi pū ka hui i kahi luawai pilikino no ka mea ʻaʻole hilinaʻi ka wai paipu.

"ʻO ka mea hana wale nō ʻo ke kelepona," wahi a Boustany me ka huhū.

ʻEkolu mau kauwela ma hope o ke kaua ma waena o ka ʻIseraʻela a me ka pūʻali koa Islamic Hezbollah i haʻalele i nā ʻāpana o Beirut a me nā mākaʻikaʻi e ʻimi nei i ka palena, ua hoʻopiha hou ʻia nā hui kahakai o ke kapikala, nā hale kūʻai a me nā hale ʻaina.

Ua komo pū ka lehulehu i nā poʻe haole Lebanona i hoʻi mai; ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi mai ka ʻāina ʻo Persian Gulf conservative i huki ʻia i ka lewa libertine o Beirut, ke ola pō a me ke anuanu; a me ʻEulopa a me ʻAmelika e ʻimi nei.

Akā, ua ʻike ʻia nā pilikia i hoʻokumu ʻia e nā pōʻai ʻino a me ka maluhia o ka lāhui, a me kona paʻa politika.

ʻO kahi mokuʻāina ʻoʻopa, māhele ʻia, ka mea i hakakā e hāʻawi i nā lawelawe maʻamau i kāna mau kamaʻāina 4 miliona mai ka wā i pau ai ke kaua kīwila 15 makahiki i ka makahiki 1990, pono koke e hoʻokipa i kahi 2 miliona mau malihini kipa ma ka hopena o kēia makahiki, ʻoi aku ma mua o he hapalua miliona mai ka mooolelo mua o 1.4 miliona ma 1974.

ʻO ka hopena, ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka pau ʻana o ka mana, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka wai a me nā kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa i hōʻemi i ke kiʻi mālama ʻole o ka lāhui a hoʻolōʻihi i nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe o ka hoʻokele waiwai, ʻoiai ke hāʻule nei ka manawa no ka mahina hoʻāno Muslim o Ramadan.

"ʻIke wau i ka nui o nā hoʻolimalima ma ke ala, a ua pāpālua ke kaʻa, ʻo ka haʻalele ʻana iā Beirut," i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Boulos Douaihy, 30, he mea hoʻolālā i hele i kēlā me kēia lā i ke kapikala ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka lōʻihi. “ʻAʻole au makemake i ka lewa, akā maikaʻi ia no ka ʻāina.”

ʻO ke kaua kīwila a me nā aupuni polarized, hoʻonohonoho maikaʻi ʻole ʻia o nā makahiki e hiki mai ana, ua waiho ʻia nā puka ākea i loko o ka ʻoihana ʻo Lebanona i hoʻoponopono ʻole ʻia, e hoʻonui ana i nā makahiki i kahi ʻoihana ad-hoc o nā mea hoʻolako pūnaewele hewa ʻole, nā mafias hoʻomohala uila pilikino, nā pahu wai hou. a me ke kaʻa valet.

"Ma Lebanona he koho ʻē aʻe mau kekahi," i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Paul Ariss, ke poʻo o ka Lebanona Syndicate o ka ʻAina Mea ʻaina a me nā ʻĀina Cafe.

Akā, hiki i nā kumukūʻai keu ke kaumaha i nā mea nona ka ʻoihana a hoʻonui i nā kumukūʻai no nā mea kūʻai aku. ʻOiai ʻo kēia kauwela i hōʻoia i kahi mea maikaʻi no ka ʻoihana lawelawe meaʻai, ʻōlelo ʻo Ariss, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻomau ʻia ke kūlana o kēia manawa.

"Pono mākou e hana a hiki i ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o ke aupuni hou a hoʻomaka lākou e hoʻolālā i kahi mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi," wahi āna.

Ua emi ka hoihoi no ke aupuni e hiki mai ana o Sunni Muslim billionaire Saad Hariri, nona ka US- a me Saudi-backed coalition o nā ʻaoʻao i hōʻoia hou i kona hapa nui i nā koho balota ʻo Iune akā ua loaʻa i kekahi mau pilikia.

ʻO ka lohi ʻana o ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ka ʻAha Kuhina i mea hoʻohenehene i ka hana ʻana o ka poʻe kālai'āina poʻokela o Lebanona i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā waiwai huakaʻi e hoʻokumu i aupuni a i ʻole e hakakā kekahi i kekahi.

Ua mahalo wale ʻo Boustany, ka mea nona ka hui kahakai, ʻo ka uila a me ka wai kāna mea e hopohopo nui ai i kēia kauwela. Ua wehe ʻo Lazy B i ʻelima mau lā ma mua o ke kaua 2006 i hōʻino nui ʻia i ka hapa nui o nā ʻoihana nāwaliwali o Lebanona, me kahi hale mana i hoʻokahe ʻia nā tona o ka ʻaila i loko o ke Kai Mediterranean.

Ke kaua i ukali ia e elua makahiki o ka infighting ma waena o Hariri ka mea i kapaia March 14 coalition a me ka Hezbollah-alakaʻi kū'ē, he alo i kokoke kauo i ka aina i kekahi kaua kīwila. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia kahi kuʻikahi o Mei 2008 ma waena o nā ʻaoʻao hakakā i ka maluhia o ka home.

"Ke hōʻoia nei mākou inā hāʻawi lākou iā mākou i ke kūpaʻa politika, hiki iā mākou ke hana i nā mea he nui," i ʻōlelo ʻo Boustany.

I loko o Lebanona holoʻokoʻa haunaele i hala, ʻo ka mākaʻikaʻi kahi kumu nui o ka loaʻa kālā, ʻo ka hapa nui mai nā miliona o Lebanona e noho ana ma waho e kipa ana i ke kauwela. Eia nō naʻe, ʻōlelo nā luna mākaʻikaʻi i ka liʻiliʻi o ke aupuni e hoʻolaha i ka ʻāina ma waho.

Ua manaʻo ʻo Joseph Haimari, he kākāʻōlelo i ka Ministry of Tourism, ua hāʻawi ka mākaʻikaʻi i $ 7 biliona i ka hoʻokele waiwai o Lebanona i ka makahiki i hala, ma kahi o ka hapahā o ka huahana kūloko.

Aka, me ka lawa ole o ka puu dala hoolaha, ua olelo mai oia, “ke hilinai nei makou ma . . . media e hoʻopuka i kā mākou leka. "

ʻOiai ʻo nā paʻakikī, wahi a Haimari, ʻo ka mākaʻikaʻi kekahi o nā ʻoihana liʻiliʻi e hiki ke hāʻawi i nā hana no nā ʻōpio ʻike ʻole i hopu pinepine ʻia i nā kaua kālai'āina a me ka ʻāina.

"Pono e helu ʻia ka mākaʻikaʻi ma ke ʻano he mea nui o ke aupuni," wahi āna. "Akā pono mākou i nā ʻōnaehana kūpono - nā alanui, ka uila, ka wai - e ʻae i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka mākaʻikaʻi."
