ʻEletā Niila L. ʻEnitaseni: Mālō, ʻEletā Kilipeti. Mālō, Brother Uepi. Ko ha toko ua ʻo hoku ngaahi kaungāmeʻa mo e kaungā-ngāue ʻofeiná. ʻOku ou ʻofa lahi kiate kinaua.
ʻIkai naʻe fakaʻofoʻofa e kuaea? Pea fakalaumālie ʻaupito! Naʻa mou fuʻu fakaʻofoʻofa ʻaupito. Mālō ʻaupito!
Naʻá ku fakakaukau ki he ngaahi lea ko iá ʻi hoʻomou hiva fakafahaʻi ʻi he veesi hono tolú, “Ko e ʻEikí ko ʻeku maama, Pea ʻikai te u ilifiá. He te Ne ʻomi mo ha fuʻu ivi, Ke u ikuna ʻaki hoku filí.”1 Kapau te tau fakatōloloto e ongo ʻo e ngaahi lea ko iá kiate kinautolu ʻoku tau akoʻí, te nau maluʻi ha taha.
ʻOku fakaofo ke tau ʻi he Tāpanekalé, ʻikai ko ia? ʻOku ʻikai ke tau toe faʻa omi ki heni. ʻOku ʻi ai hamou niʻihi kuo teʻeki ke mou omi ki heni; ʻoku mou fuʻu kei siʻi. ʻOku maʻu ʻe hamau niʻihi ha ngaahi manatu melie mei he Tāpanekale motuʻá ni. Ko ha toko fiha nai ʻi heni ʻoku nau maʻu ha manatu melie fakaʻofoʻofa ki haʻanau ʻi heni kimuʻa? (Hiki nima.)
ʻI he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu kuohilí, naʻe uiuiʻi au mo ʻEletā Kulisitofasoni ʻi he konifelenisi lahi ʻo ʻEpelelí. ʻI heʻeku manatuʻí, naʻá ma tangutu ʻi lalo ʻi heni, peá ma toki hiki hake ki he ngaahi sea kulokulá. Naʻe puke ha taha ʻo e kau ʻAposetoló, ʻEletā Māvini ʻEsitoni, ʻi he konifelenisi ko iá, pea naʻá ma fakahoko leva mo ʻEletā Kulisitofasoni ʻema fakamoʻoní. Naʻe ʻikai te ma maʻu ha taimi feʻunga ke teuteu.
ʻOku ou maʻu ha manatu melie ʻe taha heni ʻoku ou fie vahevahe mo kimoutolu.
Naʻe ʻikai ke u toe lea ʻi he Tāpanekalé talu mei he fakamoʻoni ko ia ʻi he 1993. ʻI heʻemau fakaofi ki he taimi ke fakahoko ai e konifelenisi fakaʻosi heni ʻi he Tāpanekalé; ko ʻOkatopa ia ʻo e 1999.
Naʻe hoko ha meʻa naʻe mātuʻaki fakaofo kiate au. Ko e pongipongi Falaité ia kimuʻa he konifelenisí—ʻi he 7:30 pongipongi. Naʻá ku ʻi hoku ʻōfisí ʻi he tatangi ʻa e telefoní. Naʻe pehē mai ʻa e leʻo ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, “Brother ʻEnitaseni, ko au Palesiteni Hingikelī.” Ne u hoko ko ha Taki Māʻolunga, ka naʻe siʻisiʻi hoku taimi feohi mo Palesiteni Hingikelií. Pea ko ʻene ʻuluaki lea kiate aú—ko e moʻoní ʻeni—naʻá ne pehē mai, “Ko e talifaki fēfē nai koe ʻi he peisipoló?” Naʻe ʻikai ke u fuʻu ʻilo pe ʻe fēfē ʻeku talí, ka naʻá ku ngongohe atu ha meʻa. Naʻá ne hoko atu: “ʻOku puke ʻa ʻEletā Lōpeti Heili. ʻOku fai hono tafa ʻi he ʻaho Mōnité pea he ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo lea he pongipongi ʻauhú. ʻOku mau loto ke ke fetongi ia ʻo lea ʻi he pongipongi Tokonakí. SAI? Nofo ā!” Naʻe hoko mai ai ha ngaahi houa taʻefiemālie lahi. Ko e aʻusia pē ia ne u maʻu ʻi hano vahe mai ha lea konifelenisi lahi ʻi heni ʻi he Tāpanekalé.
Ka ne tau maʻu ha taimi lahi, te mau fiefia ke fanongo ki he kotoa homau ngaahi aʻusiá.
Tuku muʻa ke u kamata ʻaki hano fakahaaʻi atu ʻeku ʻofá mo e ʻofa ʻa e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí mo e Kōlomu ʻo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá kiate kimoutolu takitaha. ʻOku mau fakaʻapaʻapaʻi mo tanganeʻia moʻoni ʻi hoʻomou tui mo e mateaki ki hotau Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí mo ʻEne ngāue māʻoniʻoní. Ko ha ngaahi ʻaho fakahisitōlia ʻeni ʻoku mahuʻinga lahi. ʻOku loto-fiemālie ha laukilu ʻo hotau Kāingalotu kei talavou ʻo e Siasí ke mou fakahinohinoʻi mo tākiekina kinautolu. Neongo pe naʻe uiuiʻi koe ko ha faiako semineli pe ʻinisititiuti ʻi hoʻo uōtí pe siteikí pe fili ko ha faiako ʻi ha taha ʻo ʻetau ngaahi ʻinisititiuti ʻe 638 ʻi māmaní pe ʻi heʻetau ngaahi semineli ʻi he taimi akó—naʻá ku toki ʻeke ange kia Brother Uepi pe ko ʻetau kalasi ʻe fiha, peá ne pehē mahalo ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi kalasi semineli ʻe 80,000 nai. Ko e ngaahi semineli ʻoku lele lolotonga ʻa e taimi akó, ʻoku fakahoko ia ʻi he feituʻu fakahihifo ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití, Kānata, mo e ngaahi akoʻanga ʻa e Siasí.

ʻI hono uiuiʻi au ko ha Taki Māʻolunga ʻi he taʻu ʻe 30 kuohilí ʻi he konga kimuʻa ʻo e 1990 tupú, ko ha toko hiva mei he toko hongofulu ʻi he ʻIunaiteti Sitetí naʻe pehē ko ha kau Kalisitiané.
