ʻIkai ha Mālohi ʻi he Māmaní
Naʻe faifeinga ʻa Henelī Pokihati, ʻi he kotoa ʻo e 1960, ke kei mālohi mo faaitaha pē ʻa e Siasí neongo honau ngaahi tūkunga faingataʻa ʻi he Lepupelika Fakatemokalati ʻo Siamané. Kuo tapui ʻe he LFS ʻa e kau faifekau muli kotoa pē mei heʻenau ngāue ʻi honau kauʻāfonuá, ko ia naʻe fatongia kakato ʻaki ʻe he Kāingalotu ʻi Siamane Hahaké ʻa hono malangaʻi honau fonuá. Koeʻuhí ko e taʻotaʻofi ʻa e kau faifekaú mei heʻenau ʻalu mei he ʻapi ki he ʻapí, naʻe fakangatangata pē ʻenau malava ke vahevahe ʻa e ongoongoleleí. ʻI ʻOkatopá, naʻe tapui ai ʻe he puleʻangá ʻa e kau faifekau taimi kakató mei heʻenau ngāue ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu naʻe ʻikai ke tokolahi ai ʻa e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí. Naʻe meimei ke fakangata ai pē foki mo e ngaahi ʻekitivitī ʻa e Fineʻofá, NGKMF (MIA) mo e Palaimelí, ʻo pehē ko e puleʻangá pē ʻokú ne fatongia ʻaki ʻa hono ʻomi ha ngaahi polokalama fakatupulaki maʻa hono kakaí.
Naʻe talaange ʻe ha ʻōfisa ʻe taha ki he Kāingalotú, naʻe ʻikai ke saiʻia ʻa e puleʻangá ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻuhinga ko ʻení. “ʻOku mou maʻu ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku mou fiemaʻú ʻi he Siasí.”
Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa, kuo hōloa ʻaupito ʻa e Siasí ʻi LFS. Naʻe tokolahi ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻi Siamane Hahake naʻe ʻikai ke nau fie kātekina ʻa e ngaahi tūkunga ko ʻení, ka naʻa nau hola mei he fonuá ko e fekumi ki ha tauʻatāina fakalotu lahi ange mo ha faingamālie fakaʻekonōmika ʻi Siamane Hihifo. Pea naʻe ʻikai ko e Kāingalotú pē. Naʻe mavahe ha kakai tokolahi mei he LFS, ʻo nau faʻa kolosi ʻi he kauʻāfonua ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Pēlini Hahake mo Hihifó.
Naʻe hoko ʻa e hikifonua tokolahi ko ʻení ko ha meʻa fakamā ia ki he puleʻanga ʻo Siamane Hahaké pea mo hono kau poupou ʻi he Sovietí. Naʻe tui ha kakai tokolahi, ʻo kau ai ʻa Henelī, ʻe taimi nounou pē kuo tāpuni ʻe he puleʻangá ʻa e fehūʻaki kotoa pē ki Pēlini Hihifó. Koeʻuhí ko e tuʻu ʻa e hetikuota ʻo e misioná ʻi he tafaʻaki fakahihifo ʻo e koló, naʻe manavasiʻi ai ʻa Henelī naʻa hoko ʻa e faʻahinga liliu fakaʻaufuli peheé ke fakangata ai ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻi Siamane Hahaké mei he toenga ʻo e Siasí.
ʻI he ʻaho 18 ʻo Tīsemá, naʻe haʻu ai ʻa ʻAlavini R. Taia, ko e palesiteni ʻo e Misiona European mo ha Tokoni ki he Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, ki he LFS ke talanoa mo Henelī mo e kau taki fakalotofonua kehe ʻo e Siasí fekauʻaki mo e tuʻunga lelei ʻo e Kāingalotu naʻa nau tokangaʻí.
Naʻe lipooti ʻe he kau taki ʻo e Siasí ʻi Siamane Hahaké ha meʻa fakamamahi. Kuo fakataputapui ʻe he puleʻangá ʻa hono hū mai ʻo e ʻū tohi naʻe toki pulusí pe ko ha naunau kehe pē kuo ʻosi paaki. Naʻe hoko ʻa e ngaahi fakataputapui ko ʻení ke faingataʻa ai ki he Kāingalotú ke nau maʻu ʻa e ʻū makasini foʻou ʻa e Siasí, ʻū tohi lēsoní, pe tohi himí ʻo ʻikai ke nau hū fakafufuuʻi mai ia mei he Hihifó. Naʻe fakaʻauʻauhifo ʻa e maʻulotú ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo e Siasí. Naʻe fakaʻaongaʻi pē ʻa e ʻū ʻapisiasí, ka ko ha ʻū ʻapisiasi ʻe niʻihi naʻe ʻikai toe lava ia ʻo monomono. Pea ʻi hono taʻofi ko ʻeni ʻo e ngaahi fakatahaʻanga ʻa e toʻu tupú, naʻe hanga ai ʻe he ngaahi polokalama naʻe fakapaʻanga ʻe he puleʻangá ʻo tohoakiʻi ha toʻu tupu tokolahi mei he tui fakalotú. Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Henelī naʻe faʻa fakahoko fakafufū ʻe he ngaahi kolo ʻo e Siasí ha ngaahi ʻekitivitī maʻá e toʻu tupú, ka naʻe loto-taha ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē ʻi he fakatahaʻangá ʻoku fakatuʻutāmaki ʻa hono fakahoko ʻo e faʻahinga meʻa peheé.
Naʻe tō lalo foki mo e mahuʻinga ʻo e tuʻunga fakapaʻanga ʻa Siamane Hahaké, pea naʻe fakamamahi ʻa e siʻisiʻi ʻa e ngaahi polokalama tokoni ʻa e puleʻangá. Naʻe tokolahi ʻa e Kāingalotu naʻa nau fuʻu masiva ke fakatau mai ha meʻatokoni mo e penisini, ko ia ai naʻa nau ngāue ʻaki ʻa e paʻanga mei he ʻakauni uelofea ʻa e Siasí ke fakatau mai ʻaki ʻa e malalá mo e patetá pe ko haʻanau kātekina pē ʻa e fiekaiá mo e momokó.
ʻI he hili ʻa e fakatahá, naʻe talanoa fakataautaha ʻa Palesiteni Taia mo Henelī ke fakahaaʻi ʻene loto-hohaʻa ki he tūkunga ʻo e ngāue fakafaifekaú ʻi he LFS. Naʻe ʻikai ko e ʻuhingá ko e taʻotaʻofi mamafa ʻe he puleʻanga Siamane Hahaké ʻa e feituʻu mo e founga ʻe lava ke ngāue ai ʻa e kau faifekaú. Naʻe fakatetuʻa ʻa e puleʻangá ʻe ngāue paʻanga ʻa e kakai tangata kotoa pē ‘oku malavá, pea naʻa nau pehē ʻe hoko ʻa e ngāue fakafaifekau taimi kakató ko ha meʻa fakatuʻutāmaki ia ki he tuʻunga fakaʻekonōmika ʻo Siamane Hahaké. Naʻe hoko foki mo e fakafalala ʻa e kau faifekau tokolahi ki he tokoni fakapaʻanga mei he ngaahi kolo fakalotofonua ʻo e Siasí pe mei he Kāingalotu ʻi Siamane Hihifó, ko ha palopalema. Kia Palesiteni Taiá, naʻe hangē ia ha ngāue fakafaifekau totongí. Koeʻuhí ko e ngaahi ʻuhinga ko ʻení, naʻá ne kole ai kia Henelī ke tukuange ʻa e kau faifekau taimi kakato kotoa pē ʻoku lolotonga ngāue ʻi he LFS.
ʻI he kamataʻangá, naʻe momou ʻa Henelī ke talangofua ki he kole ko ʻení. Naʻe ʻikai ke toe vahevahe ʻe he kau faifekaú ʻa e ongoongoleleí mei he ʻapi ki he ʻapi, ko ia ai naʻe ʻikai ke fakahohaʻa ʻa e Siasí ki he puleʻangá. Pea naʻe kei fakafalala pē ha ngaahi kolo ʻe niʻihi ʻo e Siasí ki he kau faifekaú ki he tuʻunga fakatakimuʻa ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí. Kapau ʻe tukuange ʻa e kau faifekaú, he ʻikai ke toe ngāue lelei ʻa e ngaahi kolo ʻo e Siasí. Ka naʻe fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻe Henelī ʻa Palesiteni Taia ʻo muimui ʻi he faleʻí, neongo ʻene taʻe-loto ki aí.
Hili ha ngaahi māhina siʻi mei ai, naʻe fakataha ʻa e Kāingalotu kei talavou mei Siamane Hihifo mo Hahaké ki Pēlini Hihifo ki ha konifelenisi ʻa e NGKMF (MIA). Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe he tokotaha kotoa pē ʻe malava ke tāpuni ʻa e kauʻāfonuá ʻi ha faʻahinga taimi pē, pea naʻa nau loto-hohaʻa ai. Ka naʻe tā tuʻo lahi ʻa hono fakahaaʻi ʻe he Kāingalotu kei talavoú ha kaveinga angamaheni ʻi he taimi naʻa nau vahevahe ai ʻenau fakamoʻoní: Naʻe ʻikai ke nau ʻilo ʻa e meʻa ʻe hoko ʻi he kahaʻú, ka kapau he ʻikai ke nau toe maʻu ʻa e faingamālie ke fakataha mai aí, naʻa nau ʻiloʻi ʻe moʻoni pē ʻa e ongoongoleleí ʻi he ongo tafaʻaki fakatouʻosi ʻo e ʻā vahevahe fakapolitikalé.
Pea te nau kei tuʻu maʻu pē ʻi heʻenau tuí.
Naʻe hoko ʻa e mafola ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga pule aoniú ʻi he kotoa ʻo ʻIulope lotoloto mo ʻIulope hahaké pea mo e ngaahi feituʻu kehe ʻi he māmaní ke fakatupu ai ha loto-hohaʻa lahi ʻia Palesiteni Makei. Kuo taʻu ʻeni ʻe hongofulu tupu ʻa ʻene siofi ʻa hono maʻu ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga peheé ʻa e mālohí, paotoloaki ʻa e taʻe-tui ʻOtuá, mo fakamaʻamaʻa ʻa e tui fakalotú ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu hangē ko Siamane hahaké mo Sekisolovākiá, ʻa ia naʻe tupulaki ai ʻa e Siasí kimuʻá.
Ka neongo iá, naʻe hoko ʻa e tui mateaki ʻa e Kāingalotú ke ne maʻu ai ʻa e ʻamanaki leleí. Naʻe foua ʻe he ʻIunaiteti Siteití mo ʻIulope hihifo ha tuʻumālie maʻongoʻonga, pea naʻe manavasiʻi ha kakai ʻe niʻihi naʻa faifaí kuo tokanga lahi ange ʻa e sōsaietí ki he koloá mo e tuʻungá kae ʻikai ko e ʻOtuá. Naʻe ʻikai fakakaukau ʻa Palesiteni Makei ʻoku hoko moʻoni ʻeni ʻi he kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí. ʻI heʻene feʻiloaki mo e Kāingalotu ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní, naʻá ne tanganeʻia ʻi heʻenau taʻe-siokitá. ʻI Sānuali 1961, naʻá ne talaange ai ki ha faiongoongo, “ʻOku ʻikai ke u tui kuo ʻi ai ha taimi kuo maʻu ai ʻe he kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ha tuʻunga fakalaumālie ʻoku maʻongoʻonga angé—ko ha vilitaki ʻoku lahi ange ke foaki pea mo ngāue.”
Naʻá ne ongoʻi moʻoni ʻa e angaʻofa ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi he totongi vahehongofulú mo e ngaahi foakí. ʻI he ngaahi toʻu tangata ʻi he kuohilí, kuo faʻa hoko maʻu pē ʻa hono fakapaʻanga ʻa e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí ko ha pole ia ki he Siasí. Naʻe hoko ʻa e ngaahi tokoni ʻa e Kāingalotú, fakataha mo e fakafalala ki he ngāue ʻofá mo e paʻanga hū mai mei he tupu ʻa ha ngaahi pisinisi kehekehé, ke lava ai ʻe he Siasí ʻo hokohoko atu ʻene fakapaʻanga ʻa e ngaahi ngāue lahi, ʻo kau ai ʻa e ngaahi polokalama fakaakó, uelofeá, faifekaú mo e langa falé.
Neongo ko e lahi tahá ʻa e fakamole ki he polokalama langa falé, ka naʻe tui ʻa Palesiteni Makei naʻe mahuʻinga ʻa e fakamolé ki he tupulaki ʻa e Siasí. Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ke aʻusia ʻa e taumuʻa ʻo e ʻū falé ni ʻi he taimi ʻoku langa ai ʻa e holisí, fokotuʻu ʻa e ʻató, kakato ʻa e tauá, pea fakahoko mo e lotu fakatapuí. ʻOku langa kinautolú maʻá e fakamaama ʻo e laumālié.”
Naʻe hoko ʻa e ʻū falelotu foʻou ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní ko ha ngaahi feituʻu mahuʻinga ia ke fakatahataha ki ai ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻo moihū ki he ʻOtuá mo feohi ʻiate kinautolu. ʻI Tenitoni, Tekisisí, ko ha kiʻi kolo ʻi he fakatonga ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití, naʻe kamata ai ke fakataha ha kāingalotu ʻe toko uofulu mā fā ʻo e Siasí ʻi he ʻapi ʻo Sione mo Makeleta Potá, ʻi he 1959. ʻI he taimi naʻe fuʻu tokolahi ai ʻa e kulupú ke fakataha ʻi he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Potá, naʻa nau fakataha ʻi ha fale fungavaka naʻe ʻikai ke nofoʻi ka naʻe tutulu ʻa e ʻató. ʻI he 1961, naʻe hoko ʻa e kulupú ko ha kolo pea naʻe tokolahi feʻunga pē ʻa e kau mēmipa mālohi [ʻi he Siasí] ke kole ki he Kōmiti Langa Fale ʻa e Siasí ha ngofua ke langa ha ʻapisiasi.
ʻI he taimi ko iá, naʻe ʻamanaki ko e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí naʻe nofo ʻi he ngaahi misioná te nau foaki ʻa e peseti ʻe 30 ʻo e fakamole ki he ʻapisiasi foʻoú. ʻI he ngaahi siteikí, naʻe ʻamanaki leva ko e peseti ʻe 50. Naʻe foaki ʻe he palesiteni siteiki ko ʻAiveni ʻAtikasoní ʻa e ʻuluaki $1,000 mei heʻene paʻanga pē ʻaʻaná ke fakalotolahiʻi ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻi Tenitoní ke nau tokoni ki he falelotú. ʻI hono fakangofua ʻe he Siasí ʻa Sione Potá, naʻá ne fakatau mai ʻiate ia pē ha konga kelekele ʻeka ʻe tolu, naʻá ne fakatau atu ha ʻeka ʻe taha ki ha falekai, pea foaki ʻa e ʻeka ʻe ua maʻá e langa [ʻo e falelotú].
Ko e kāingalotu naʻa nau langa ʻa e ʻū ʻapisiasi ʻi he konga kimuʻa ʻo e 1960 tupú, naʻe ʻi ai ha ʻū palani langa naʻe ʻosi fakangofua ʻe he Siasí ke nau fili mei ai. Ko ha ngaahi palani ʻe niʻihi naʻe fakaʻatā ai ke langa ʻa e ʻapisiasí ʻi ha ngaahi taimi lahi, ʻi ha konga ʻe ua pe tolu, ʻo makatuʻunga ʻi he tokolahi mo e fakalakalaka ʻa e uōtí pe koló. Ko e konga ʻuluaki ʻo e langá naʻe kau ai ʻa e ʻū loki akó mo ha loki ke fakahoko ai ha ngaahi polokalama kehekehe ʻa ia ʻe lava ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi ko ha falelotu. Ko e konga hono uá naʻe tānaki atu ki ai ha falelotu lahi mo ha loki Palaimeli, pea ko e konga hono tolú naʻe kau ai ha holo, peito mo ha toe ʻū loki lahi ange. Koeʻuhí ko e vave ʻa e tupu ke tokolahi ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi he kolo Tenitoní, naʻa nau fili ai ke langa ha ʻapisiasi ʻo makatuʻunga ʻi ha palani naʻe fakatahaʻi ai ʻa e konga ʻuluakí mo e uá. Neongo naʻe fakangāueʻi ʻe he Siasí ha supavaisa tufunga ke ne tokangaʻi ʻa e ngāué, ka ko e konga lahi ʻo e ngāué naʻe fai ia ʻe he Kāingalotu ʻi Tenitoní.
Ko ha mēmipa ʻe taha ʻo e koló ko Lailei Suanisoni, ko ha tokotaha ngaohi kōpate ʻa ia naʻá ne fai ʻa e tufunga papa fakaʻofoʻofa maʻá e falelotú. Ko Laileí ko ha papi ului fakalotofonua ia naʻe tuku ʻene ifi tapaká ka ne kau ki he Siasí. ʻI he taimi naʻe kamata ai ʻa e langá, naʻá ne kamata ngāue poʻuli leva koeʻuhí kae lava ke ne ngāue ʻi he taimi ʻahó ʻi he falelotú ko ha tokotaha ngāue tokoni taimi kakato.
ʻI he fakaʻau ke lahi hono langa ʻo e ʻū ʻapisiasí ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní, naʻe palani foki ʻa e Siasí ke langa ha ʻōfisi lahi ʻi Sōleki Siti ke ʻi ai ha ngāueʻanga maʻá e kau taki māʻolunga ʻo e Siasí mo e kau ngāue ʻa e Siasí. Pea naʻe ʻi ai mo e ngaahi palani ki ha senitā maʻá e kau ʻaʻahí ʻi he Temipale Sikueá, ko ha feituʻu malu ke tauhi ai ʻa e ʻū lekooti tohi hohokó ʻi he loto moʻunga ofi ki Sōleki Sití, pea mo ha temipale foʻou ʻi ʻOkalani, Kalefōnia.
Naʻe fakatuʻamelie foki ʻa Palesiteni Makei ki he toʻu tupu ʻo e Siasí pea mo ʻenau loto-holi ke vahevahe ʻa e ongoongoleleí. ʻI he 1959, naʻá ne fakaafeʻi ʻa e mēmipa kotoa pē ʻo e Siasí ke nau fekumi, akoʻi, mo fakafeohi ki he kau mēmipa foʻoú pea mo e niʻihi ʻe ala ului maí. Talu mei ai mo e fakalakalaka ʻa e ngāue fakafaifekaú, tautautefito ki Pilitānia Lahi, ʻa ia naʻe ʻomi ai ʻe he temipale foʻoú ha “kuonga foʻou” ‘o e Siasí. Naʻe kamata ke tupulaki fakaʻaufuli ʻa e papitaiso fakauluí ʻi he Misiona British, tautautefito ki he kakai kei talavoú, ʻo tākiekina ai ʻa e Siasí ke faʻu ʻa e Misiona North British pea mo e Siteiki Manisesitaá ʻi Māʻasi 1960. Hili ha taʻu ʻe taha mei ai, naʻe toe foki mai ʻa Palesiteni Makei ki ʻIngilani ke fokotuʻutuʻu ʻa e Siteiki Lonitoní mo fakatapui ha falelotu foʻou mo fakaʻofoʻofa ofi ki he Paʻake Haití ʻi loto Lonitoni.
Lolotonga ʻa e ʻi Pilitānia Lahi ʻa Palesiteni Makeí, naʻá ne toe fai ʻa e fakaafe ki he mēmipa kotoa pē ke nau kau ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú. Naʻá ne fakamanatu ki he kau faifekau ʻi he Misiona North British, “Kapau ʻe fua ʻe he mēmipa kotoa pē ʻa e fatongia ko iá, he ʻikai ha mālohi ʻi he māmaní te ne lava ʻo taʻofi ʻa e tupulaki ʻa e Siasí ni.”
Hili ha ngaahi māhina siʻi mei he foki mai ʻa Palesiteni Makei mei Pilitānia Lahí, naʻe maʻu ʻe he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí ha tohi meia Lama Uiliami fekauʻaki mo e ʻū tohi naʻá ne maʻu mei he kakai ʻi Naisīliá. Naʻe tohi ʻe Lama ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻe malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongoleleí ki he fuʻu kakai tokolahi ko ʻení, ʻa ia ko ha fānau foki kinautolu ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻoku hangē kiate au ko ha faingamālie lelei ʻeni ke kamataʻi ai ʻa e ngāué.”
Naʻe ʻosi ʻiloʻi pē ʻe Palesiteni Makei ʻa e fieʻilo ʻa e kakai Naisīliá ki he ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí. ʻI he taʻu kimuʻá, naʻá ne kole kia Kilioni Fisa, ko ha palesiteni fakamisiona naʻe foki mai mei ʻAfilika Tonga, ke ʻaʻahi ki Naisīlia. Naʻe fai ʻe Kilioni ha lipooti lelei fekauʻaki mo e mateuteu ʻa e fonuá ki he ngāue fakafaifekaú, ʻo maʻu ai ʻe Palesiteni Makei ha taimi lahi ke fakakaukau ki ai ʻi he taimi naʻe aʻu atu ai ʻa e tohi ʻa Lamá.
ʻI he ʻaho 1 ʻo Siulai 1961, naʻe lea ʻa Palesiteni Makei fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni ʻi ha fakataha ʻa e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí mo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá. ʻI heʻene ʻiloʻi ʻe hoko ʻa e fakangatangata ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ko ha pole faingataʻa ia ki he ngāue fakafaifekau ʻi Naisīliá, naʻá ne fakatātā ʻa e tūkungá ki he palopalema naʻe fehangahangai mo e kau ʻaposetolo ʻi he kuonga muʻá ʻi he taimi naʻe fakafehuʻia ai ʻa hono fakaaʻu ʻo e ongoongoleleí ki he kakai Senitailé. Naʻe ʻikai ke ngāue ʻa e kau ʻaposetolo ko iá kae ʻoua leva kuo maʻu ʻe Pita ha fakahā mei he ʻOtuá.
Naʻe feinga ʻa Palesiteni Makei ke maʻu ha fakahinohino mei he ʻEikí fekauʻaki mo hono fakangatangata ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, ka naʻe teʻeki ke ne maʻu ha tali mahino. ʻI he taimi ní, naʻe ʻikai ke ne taumuʻa ke fokotuʻu ha misiona ʻi Naisīlia kae ʻoua leva kuó ne ʻilo ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻEikí.
Ka naʻá ne tui ʻoku moʻoni ʻa Lama. Naʻe fiemaʻu ʻe he Siasí ha fakamatala lahi ange, pea naʻá ne fokotuʻu ke ʻave ha kau fakafofonga ʻo e Siasí ki Naisīlia ke nau vakavakaiʻi ʻa e tui ʻa e kakai Naisīliá.

ʻI he meimei taimi peheni, naʻe ʻi ai ha founga ngāue ʻa e finemui taʻu hongofulu mā ono ko Susi Tauseí. ʻI he ʻaho kotoa pē, ʻi he hili ʻene fakakakato ʻene tufa nusipepa ʻi he tuku ʻa e akó, naʻá ne ʻalu ki ʻapi ʻo kole ha ngofua mei heʻene tamaí ke ne kau ki he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní. Kuo lava nai ha taʻu ʻe taha ʻene fie ʻilo ki he Siasí. Naʻe fakaafeʻi ia ʻe hano kaungāmeʻa ki ha ʻekitivitī ʻa e toʻu tupú ʻi ha kolo fakalotofonua ʻo e Siasí ʻi Pevalī, ʻIngilani, pea naʻe vave ʻa e saiʻia ʻa Susi ʻi he ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí. Ka naʻe fakakaukau ʻene ongomātuʻa naʻá na siasi Katolika mo Metotisí ko ʻene holi ko ia ke kau ki he Siasí ko ha meʻa fakataimi pē, pea naʻe ʻikai ai ke na fakangofua ke ne papitaiso.
Ka naʻe fakapapau pē ʻa Susi te ne hoko ko ha taha ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní. Naʻe kau ia ʻi he kakai ʻe lauiafe ʻi he ʻOtu Motu Pilitāniá naʻa nau saiʻia ʻi he Siasí ʻi he taimi ko iá.
