Kamwe siwezi kuandika habari za Damasko
\n<\/span> bila vidole vyangu kuwa
\n<\/span> trellis kwa jasmine yake.
\n<\/span> Wala mdomo wangu hauwezi kusema jina hilo
\n<\/span> bila kuonja maji ya parachichi yake,
\n<\/span> komamanga, mulberry na mirungi.<\/span><\/p>\n – Ilitafsiriwa na wanafunzi katika Mradi wa Wanafunzi wa Iraqi<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\nKatika simulizi hili lililotolewa vyema, tunachukuliwa katika safari ya kuelekea Mashariki ya Kati katika miaka ya kabla ya Vita vya Iraq, na kabla ya wakimbizi wa Iraq kukimbilia Syria. Gabe Huck na Theresa Kubasak waliwafuata wakimbizi hao kuelekea Syria na kuunda warsha kwa ajili yao. Huko wanafunzi wangeweza kujifunza Kiingereza, kuingia katika chuo cha Marekani, na kutoroka kutoka nchi ambayo Marekani ilikuwa imesaidia kuzima. <\/span><\/p>\nWasimulizi wetu makini huchota kutoka vyanzo vingi ili kuunda mkusanyiko wa picha angavu, historia ngumu na sauti za kisasa. Wananukuu kutoka kwa uchunguzi wa kila siku, majarida, barua za nyumbani, utafiti, washairi wa Iraq na Syria, na maandishi ya wanafunzi wao wenyewe. Wanaunda ushuhuda wa karibu wa maisha ya kila siku nchini Syria kabla na baada ya mlipuko wa machafuko wa 2011 ambao baadaye ukawa uharibifu. Picha na ramani zilizochorwa kwa mkono husaidia kuhuisha hadithi. <\/span><\/p>\nNjiani, tunafahamu vituko na harufu za maisha ya kila siku nchini Syria: masoko ya wazi, usanifu wa kale, jasmine, ndizi-on-gorofa-mkate uliopambwa kwa tahini na mchuzi wa chokoleti. Tunaalikwa katika mila mbalimbali za kidini na kitamaduni za nchi ambayo sasa inatoweka: mahema ya maombolezo ya umma, huduma ya chai, backgammon katika bustani, punda, na paka wanaotangatanga. <\/span><\/p>\nKama wanandoa, Gabe na Theresa wametumia maisha pamoja kama wanaharakati na walimu. Gabe alikuwa mtawa wa Wabenediktini, na kisha kuanzia mwaka wa 1965, akawa mhubiri aliyejitolea sana katika masuala ya amani na haki. Aliyekataa kujiunga na jeshi kwa sababu ya dhamiri na mtetezi wa Haki za Kiraia, aliwashauri COs wengine na mwaka wa 1968 alitembea kama muombolezaji nyuma ya jeneza la Dk. King. Theresa alifundisha kwa miaka 40 katika shule za umma na warsha zinazolenga haki ya kijamii, ikiwa ni pamoja na nyimbo za mazungumzo alizojifunza kupitia kazi yake na Kumbukumbu ya Woody Guthrie. <\/span><\/p>\nWanandoa hao walisafiri kama mashahidi nchini Iraq mwaka 1999, wakikaidi vikwazo vya Marekani\/UN. Mnamo mwaka wa 2005, miaka miwili baada ya Marekani kuivamia Iraki, walihamia Damascus, na kuwakuta Wasyria ”wamezoezwa vyema katika wema kwa wakimbizi.” <\/span>Hao hapo<\/span> ilianzisha Mradi wa Wanafunzi wa Iraki, kufundisha uandishi na fasihi ya ulimwengu kwa wanafunzi wakimbizi wa Iraqi, na kufundisha wakimbizi wa Syria huko Istanbul. Zaidi ya miaka mitano, walifanikiwa kuwatayarisha vijana 60 wakimbizi wa Iraq kwa ajili ya kujiunga na vyuo vya Marekani. <\/span><\/p>\nTheresa na Gabe wanaelezea katika maonyesho ya sinema ya 3-D vitongoji vya Damascus walimoishi, na watu waliowapenda: Wasyria na pia wakimbizi wa Iraqi na Palestina. Kupitia ushuhuda wao, wao <\/span>tazama siasa kali za ulimwengu wa Kiarabu na Kiislamu na mateso ya kibinadamu ya wakimbizi.<\/span><\/p>\nKwa sababu wao ni waandishi na walimu, kitabu chao kiko wazi, chenye kuvutia, na kinafundisha\u2014maandishi bora kwa kozi za Mashariki ya Kati ya kisasa lakini pia kwa msomaji yeyote anayetaka kujifunza kuhusu Syria kwa njia ya kibinafsi. Wanaleta hadithi za kibinafsi nyuma ya habari. Kwa kufanya hivyo, wanatoa hifadhi ya kumbukumbu ili kuheshimu nchi na utamaduni unaoendelea kusambaratishwa na vita. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3080161,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[9920,9983],"fpb_issue_category":[10238],"class_list":["post-3125886","fpb_book","type-fpb_book","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mapitio-ya-kitabu-cha-quaker","category-vitabu-vya-machi-2018","fpb_issue_category-quakers-na-ardhi-takatifu"],"yoast_head":"\nSiwezi Kamwe Kuandika juu ya Damascus: Wakati Syria Ikawa Nyumba Yetu - Friends Journal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.friendsjournal.org\/sw\/book\/siwezi-kamwe-kuandika-juu-ya-damascus-wakati-syria-ikawa-nyumba-yetu\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"sw_KE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Siwezi Kamwe Kuandika juu ya Damascus: Wakati Syria Ikawa Nyumba Yetu - Friends Journal\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Na Theresa Kubasak na Gabe Huck.
