ʻO ka pō Pōʻaono kēia ma kekahi o nā hui expat kaulana loa o Nairobi. Ke kahe nei nā mea inu, ke kani nei ke mele o ka hale a ke wili nei nā kāne ma ka papahele hula a i ʻole ke kamaʻilio ʻana ma ka pā. Hoʻopili pū ʻia kekahi ma ka noho like me ka noho ma waho.
Akā, ʻaʻole kēia kāu poʻe ʻōpio ʻōpio e leʻaleʻa ana - ʻo ka hapa nui o nā kāne i kēia pō Pōʻaono, ʻoiaʻiʻo i kēlā me kēia pō Pōʻaono, he mau kāne keʻokeʻo kahiko, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mākaʻikaʻi a me nā ʻoihana, a me nā wahine ʻōpio Kenyan wela.
Me he mea lā ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻoniʻoni. He ʻōhule kekahi o nā kāne, ʻo kekahi poʻe he ʻoki lauoho ʻo Donald Trump, e hula ana e like me nā kupuna kāne e hakakā nei e ʻimi i ke kuʻi. Nui nā makaaniani Bill Gates a me nā pālule haʻuki ʻeleʻele a ʻeleʻele me nā pālule ma lalo.
A me na kaikamahine? Kiʻekiʻe, lohi, ʻeleʻele me nā lole ʻaʻahu ʻaʻahu a me nā minoʻaka hele mai.
He 60 paha kona mau makahiki, he ʻōhule kona poʻo, ʻo ka ʻōpū a me kona pālule ʻeleʻele i loko o nā pūhaka kiʻekiʻe. Hoʻokokoke ʻo ia i kahi kaikamahine Kenyan ma kahi o 25. He kiʻekiʻe ʻo ia, i loko o kahi lole ʻeleʻele liʻiliʻi i kūpono i ke ʻano a me nā kuʻekuʻe wāwae e like me ka hele ʻana o kona mau wāwae i nā mile.
"Hiki iaʻu ke kūʻai aku iā ʻoe i mea inu?" nīnau ʻo ia me ka leo Kelemania koʻikoʻi. ʻŌlelo ʻo ia me ka haʻahaʻa, "ʻAe. No hea mai ʻoe?"
ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu e kamaʻilio ana lāua ma ka pā a paheʻe kona lima mai kona kua a i kona kua, ʻo kona lima ma kona pūhaka. Paʻi ʻo ia iā ia ma hope i ka pā ʻana o Britney Spears ' "Give Me More," hāwanawana ʻo ia i kona pepeiao a he mau minuke wale nō ma hope mai ua haʻalele pū lāua i ka hui.
ʻO kahi wahine Kenyan e kū ana ma hope o lākou e lulu i kona poʻo a ʻōlelo i kāna hoaaloha, "Langa," he huaʻōlelo ʻōlelo no ka "hoʻokamakama" ma Swahili, ka ʻōlelo aupuni o Kenya.
ʻAʻole paha he wahine hoʻokamakama ka wahine ʻōpio i loko o ka ʻaʻahu, akā ʻo ia nō. ʻO kekahi o nā "pōmaikaʻi" o ka hele ʻana i Kenya ma ke ʻano he mākaʻikaʻi mai ke Komohana mai ka maʻalahi o ka loaʻa ʻana o nā wahine hoʻokamakama.
He Kaulana no 'Easy Sex'
ʻAʻole ʻae ʻia ka hoʻokamakama ma Kenya, akā ke nānā aku nā luna a me nā hale kalapu a me nā hale hoʻokipa. Manaʻo pinepine ʻia he ʻāpana o ka ʻike mākaʻikaʻi - a ʻo nā haneli miliona mau kālā i lawe mai ʻo Kenya ma muli o ka mākaʻikaʻi.
Akā ʻaʻole wale nā holoholona hihiu a me nā kahakai o ka ʻāina e huki i nā miliona o nā kānaka i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
"He kaulana ʻo Kenya no ka moe maʻalahi," wahi a Caroline Naruk, 29, he luna moʻokāki ma kahi ʻoihana hoʻolaha Kenyan.
ʻAʻole ʻo nā wahine hoʻokamakama kāu mau "mea hele wāwae." Hiki ke loaʻa nā mea he nui ma nā hale i manaʻo ʻia he kiʻekiʻe.
"Ke hana nei kekahi o kēia mau wahine, nā wahine waena," wahi a Naruk. "'Ōlelo lākou 'I ke ahiahi e hoʻokomo wau i ka lole, e launa pū me kahi mākaʻikaʻi, e moe kolohe, e loaʻa ke kālā a e hoʻomau i ke ola.'"
ʻO ka hoʻokamakama ʻo Kenyan i nā kamaʻāina
ʻO ka pilikia, wahi a ka hapa nui o nā Kenyans, ʻo kēia mau "hoʻonohonoho" e hoʻomaka e hoʻololi i ke kaiāulu holoʻokoʻa. He wahine ʻōpio kiʻekiʻe, ʻuʻuku, nani ʻo Naruk - a ʻōlelo ʻo ia e hoʻopilikia mau ʻia ʻo ia e nā mākaʻikaʻi Komohana a me nā ʻoihana.
"Ke manaʻo nei au i ka hōʻino ʻia," wahi āna. "Ua hiki i ka manawa i koʻu hele ʻana i waho, ke koʻikoʻi nei au pehea e hiki ai iaʻu ke ʻaʻahu i ʻokoʻa koʻu ʻano."
Ua hoʻōki ʻo ia i ka hele ʻana i kekahi mau hale hana. Akā, ua hoʻopilikia ʻia ʻo ia ma kāna hana. ʻO kekahi Westerner ma ke kūlanakauhale no ka ʻoihana, ʻōlelo ʻo ia he kokoke i 50 mau makahiki, ua loaʻa kāna helu mai kāna luna a hoʻomaka i ke kelepona mau ʻana, e hoʻāʻo ana e hoʻowalewale iā ia i kona lumi.
"Ua lilo maoli ia i pilikia," wahi āna. "ʻO ka hapa nui o nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi a me nā ʻoihana e hele mai nei he nui ke kālā, a ke hele mai lākou i ʻaneʻi manaʻo lākou 'hiki iaʻu ke lilo i mea aʻu e makemake ai,' a pēlā lākou e hana ai."
Hoʻololi ka hoʻokamakama i ka hoʻohana keiki
He mea maʻamau ka wahine no ka uku ma Nairobi, ma kahakai o Kenya, ʻoi aku hoʻi i nā kūlanakauhale hoʻomaha o Mombasa a me Malindi, ʻo ka makewai no ka moekolohe ua alakaʻi i ka hoʻohana nui ʻana i nā keiki. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo Kenya kekahi o nā hubs honua no ka mākaʻikaʻi keiki.
I ka makahiki 2006, ua hoʻopuka ʻo UNICEF i kahi hōʻike e pili ana i ke kālepa keiki ma Kenya e hōʻike ana a hiki i ka 30 pakeneka o nā kaikamahine ʻōpio i ka makahiki 12 e noho ana ma kahakai i komo i ka moe kolohe no ke kālā.
A ʻo ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi Komohana ke alakaʻi nei i ke kālepa, e like me ka hōʻike. ʻO nā kāne mai ʻEulopa ma mua o ka hapalua o nā mea kūʻai aku.
"ʻO ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e hoʻohana ana i nā keiki ma ke kikowaena o ke apo o ka palaho e pili ana i nā mea he nui mai ke kaiāulu kūloko," wahi a ka hōʻike. "He mea koʻikoʻi ka hoʻopiʻi ʻia ʻana o ka poʻe hana hewa a ʻaʻole ka poʻe i hōʻeha ʻia no kēia mau hewa."
Ma Mombasa, ʻike ʻia nā kāne ʻōpio Kenyan, i kapa ʻia ʻo "nā keiki kāne kahakai," e hui pū me nā wahine keʻokeʻo kahiko, ʻo ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi Western i lele iho i lalo no ka moekolohe. E like me kā lākou mau hoa wahine, ua hoʻolako ʻia kēia mau kāne ʻōpio i ke kālā a me kekahi hanohano o ke ʻano he "boyfriend" o kahi mākaʻikaʻi Western waiwai.
Manaʻolana nā wahine hoʻokamakama o Kenya no ka hoʻopakele ʻana
Akā ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ke ʻano o kēia mau hoʻonohonoho no nā wahine ʻōpio Kenyan a me nā kāne he ʻokoʻa loa ia ma mua o ka manaʻo a lākou e kūʻai aku nei. ʻAʻole kekahi he mau wahine hoʻokamakama maoli, akā ʻo nā kāne ʻōpio a me nā wahine ʻilihune e manaʻoʻiʻo nei he "naita keʻokeʻo" waiwai e hele mai a hoʻopakele iā lākou a hāʻawi iā lākou i ke ola o ke Komohana.
ʻOiai aia ka moʻolelo i kekahi manawa o kahi kāne i hoʻopau i kahi pilina aloha a lōʻihi, ʻo ka hapa nui, ʻo ka Kenyan ka mea i pau i ka ʻeha. He hui conservative ʻo Kenya, hoʻomana hoʻomana, a ʻo nā kāne a me nā wahine i komo i ka "pili" me ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi pinepine ʻia.
"No ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi, ʻaʻole lākou hopohopo," wahi a Naruk. "ʻO ka manaʻo: 'Hiki iaʻu ke moe me ʻoe, hiki iaʻu ke hāpai iā ʻoe, hiki iaʻu ke hoʻopili iā ʻoe me ka maʻi HIV a hoʻomau i koʻu ola. Ke hāʻawi aku nei au i ke kālā iā ʻoe, ua maikaʻi.'”
Ua haʻi ʻo ia i ka moʻolelo o kāna kamaʻāina i 23 mau makahiki i komo pū me kahi kāne Pelekane 45 ona makahiki ma Kenya ma ka ʻoihana. Ua inu ʻo ia a ʻai iā ia, a i ka pau ʻana o kāna ʻoihana, ua hoʻi ʻo ia i United Kingdom, a haʻalele iā ia i ka hāpai ʻana. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Naruk ʻaʻole ʻike kāna hoaaloha i ke kāne i nā makahiki. Ua pōʻino ke ola o ka wahine i ka hālāwai.
"Pono ʻo ia e haʻalele i ke kulanui, kāna hana a hoʻi i ka home me kona makuahine," wahi a Naruk. "ʻAʻole ʻo ia i ola hou, ʻaʻole ʻike kāna keiki i kona makuakāne."
A ʻoiai ʻo ka hapa nui o nā Kenyans e ʻae nei ʻaʻohe mea e koi aku i kēia mau wahine ʻōpio a me nā kāne e komo pū me nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi o ke Komohana, ʻaʻole lākou hauʻoli e pili ana i ka maikaʻi o ka moekolohe maʻalahi i loaʻa i ka ʻāina - a ke kau nei lākou i ka hoʻopiʻi ma luna o ka "moe kolohe" o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e hele mai ana. maanei.
"Me he mea lā, no ka mea keʻokeʻo ʻoe a loaʻa iā ʻoe ke kālā hiki iā ʻoe ke pakele me kēia mau mea a pau, a ua maikaʻi," wahi a Naruk. "Akā ʻaʻole ia."
