Ngaahi peesi fakalotofonuá
‘Ko e Kiʻi Ako Lavameʻá’
Lele lelei ha ako ʻi Nuʻu Sila ʻi he falelotu ʻo e Siasí
Hili ha taʻu ʻe taha mei he feinga ʻa e Saikolone Kepiela ke fakaʻauhá, ʻoku kei lelei pē ha kiʻi ako lautohi ʻi ha kiʻi kolo ʻi Nuʻu Sila, ʻo fakalele ʻa e ngaahi kalasí ʻi he falelotu ʻo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní ʻi Nuhaká.
Kuo ʻi ai ʻeni ha malaʻe vaʻinga ʻa e fānaú, ko e foaki ʻe ha niʻihi tokolahi mei he tapa kehekehe ʻo e fonuá, ʻa ia naʻa nau tātānaki ke tokoni ke fakalakalaka ʻa e akó.
ʻI he ʻaho 11 ʻo Fēpueli 2023, naʻe tō ai ʻa e Saikolone Kepielá ʻi Hoke Pei, Nuʻu Sila, pea lahi ai ʻa e maumaú mo e faingataʻaʻiá. Naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻa e maumau ki he ʻApiako Lautohi Nuhaká ʻi he kiʻi kolo ʻi Hoke Peí, ʻa ia naʻe faifai pea fanongonongo ʻoku ʻikai lava ʻo nofoʻí.
Ka ʻi ha fengāueʻaki fakataha ʻa e Siasí mo e Potungāue Akó, naʻe maʻu ai ʻe he akó ha solovaʻanga fakaʻofoʻofa ki he palopalema ko ʻení ’o nau hiki ai ki he falelotu ʻi Nuhaká ke fai ai ʻenau ngaahi kalasí.
Hili ha māhina ʻe hiva mei ai, naʻe hokohoko atu ʻa e lele lelei ʻa e kiʻi akó ʻi he falelotu kuo liliu ki ha ʻapiako lolotonga ʻa e uiké, ʻo nau fiefia ai ʻi ha fale kuo fakatapui ki he Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí.
Naʻe pehē ʻe he pule ako ko Leilini Mekifālení, kuo hoko ʻa hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻo e falelotu ʻo e Siasí ko ha tali ia ki he ngaahi lotu lahi ʻa e kiʻi koló ni. Pea ʻi he hili ha māhina ʻe hiva ʻo e hiki ʻa e kiʻi akó ki he falé, naʻe fuʻu lelei ʻaupito ʻa e ngaahi olá.
Kuo ʻi ai ha ngaahi palopalema iiki—hangē ko ia ʻi ʻOkatopa 2023 naʻe hoko ai ha ʻuha lahi ke ne tafia mai ʻa e kelekelé mo e veve mei he fāmá ki mui ʻi he falé pea hū mai ia ki loto ʻi he matapā ʻi muí ki he lotofale, ʻo fiemaʻu ai ke hiki fakataimi ʻa e akó ki ha holo Mauli (holo fakakolo) kae fakamaʻa ʻa e pelepelá pea fetongi mo e ʻū kāpetí. Ka ʻoku pehē ʻe Mekifāleni ʻoku hā moʻoni mei he fānaú ʻenau loto-toʻá pea ʻoku mau vekeveke ke foki mai ki he falé ni.
Naʻe pehē ʻe Mekifāleni mo ʻene katá, “Ko e hā nai ʻa e faingamālie ke toe fetukutuku tuʻo uá? Naʻe talitali lelei kimautolu ki he holo fakakoló, pea naʻe aʻu mai ʻa Maui (ʻEipeni, ko e Palesiteni ʻo e Siteiki Kisipooni Nuʻu Silá) ʻi he efiafi ko iá mo e kakai ʻoku nau tokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi falelotú, pea naʻa mau ngāue leva ke fakaleleiʻi ʻa e palopalema ko iá ʻi he vave tahá.”
Ka ʻi he uike ʻe nima mei ai, ʻi he toe kamata ʻa e akó, naʻe kei ʻi ai pē ha konga mahuʻinga ʻo e ʻapiako lautohí naʻe ʻikai ke ʻi ai—ko ha feituʻu ke nau vaʻinga ai. Neongo ʻa e musie takatakai ʻi he falelotu ʻo e Uooti Nuhaká, ka naʻe ʻikai lahi ha ʻuluʻakau malumalu pea ʻikai ha meʻa ke nau kaka ai.
Hū ki he Kautaha Tokoni ʻa e Pasifikí. Hangē ko hono fakaikiiki atu ʻi he taʻu kuo ʻosí ʻi Sepitemá, naʻe lava ai ʻa Kalamu Pelea ko e Talēkita ʻo e Kautaha Tokoni ʻi he Pasifikí, ʻo ʻomi ha ʻū naunau naʻe tauhi mei he ʻApiako Toapeí ʻi ʻAokalani.
Hili ha ngāue ʻi ha ngaahi māhina ʻo hono fakakakato ha ngaahi fiemaʻú, naʻe fakafolau mai leva ia ki Nuhaka ʻo fokotuʻu, fakataha mo ha ʻū “laʻilā” ke fakamalumalu naʻe ʻomi ʻe he Siasí, fakataha mo e tokoni ʻa e kau faifekau fakalotofonuá ʻi Fēpueli.
Naʻe tokoni ʻa ʻEletā Neifeni Uti, mei Kāteni Siti, ʻIutā, USA mo ʻEletā Sēkope Hiu mei Palanisoni, Mīsuli, USA ʻi hono fokotuʻu ʻo e feituʻu faiʻanga vaʻingá, fakataha mo Pelea mo e kau mēmipa kehe ʻo ʻene Timi Tokoni ʻi he Pasifikí. Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEletā Uti naʻá ne fiefia mo ʻEletā Hiu ke tokoni.
Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEletā Uti, “ʻI heʻema hoko ko ha ongo faifekaú, ʻokú ma fiefia ai ʻi he ngaahi faingamālie ke tokoni ki he niʻihi kehé. ʻI heʻete tokoni ki he niʻihi kehé, ʻoku tokoni ia ke te manatuʻi ʻa e ngaahi taimi kuo tokoniʻi ai kita ʻe he kakaí, pea ʻokú te manatuʻi a e ongo ko iá mo e mahuʻinga ʻo e kakai ko iá kiate kitá.”
Naʻe poupou ki ai ʻa ʻEletā Hiu, mo ne pehē ko e faingamālie ke tokoní ko ha faingamālie ia ke tupulaki ai pea houngaʻia lahi ange ʻi he niʻihi kehé. “Ko e meʻa fakaʻofoʻofa ke ʻiloʻi ko e taimi ʻoku tau tokoniʻi ai ʻa e niʻihi ʻoku tau feohí, ʻoku manatuʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e ngāue ko iá.”
Naʻá ne hoko atu ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou tui ko e taimi ʻoku ou tokoni ai ki ha tokotaha ʻi ha founga te nau fiefia aí, ʻoku ou lava ai ʻo ongoʻi ʻa e ʻofa ʻokú Ne maʻu kiate kinautolú. Ko ha aʻusia fakafiefia ia ke vakai ki he fiefia ʻa e tokotaha kotoa naʻa nau kau ʻi he tokoni ko ʻení.
“Naʻa nau ʻiloʻi ʻa e fiefia ʻe maʻu ʻe he fānau ko ʻení ʻa ia kuo nau foua ha ngaahi faingataʻa lahi.”
Pea naʻe fakamālōʻia lahi ʻe he fānaú ʻa e ngāue naʻe fai ke malava ai ʻeni maʻanautolú. Naʻe pehē ʻe Mekifāleni, “Naʻa nau fiefia ʻaupito ʻi he faifai pea maau ʻa e ngāué.”
“Naʻe ʻikai ke mau lava ʻo pukepuke ke nau tokanga ki heʻenau ngāué, ko ia naʻa mau talaange ai ke nau ō ʻo ʻahiʻahiʻi ia!”
ʻI he taimi tatau, ʻoku lolotonga toʻo ʻa e ʻapiako lautohi motuʻá pea ʻoku lolotonga palani ha ʻapiako foʻou ke langa ʻi he kelekele tatau. Neongo ʻa e fakaʻamu ʻa Mekifāleni ke kakato ʻa e ngāue ki he ʻapiako foʻoú ke nau hiki ki ai ʻi he taʻu 2025, naʻá ne pehē, ʻokú ne houngaʻia ʻaupito mo ʻene kau ngāué mo e fānau akó ʻi he ʻofa ko ia ke fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e falelotu ʻo e Uooti Nuhaká ʻi he taimi ní.
ʻOkú ne manatu ʻo pehē, “ʻI he fiemaʻu ko ia ke mau ō ki he holo fakakoló ʻi he ʻOkatopa ʻo e taʻu kuo ʻosí, naʻe fakamanatu mai ai ʻemau monūʻia ke lava ʻo fai ʻa e akó ʻi he fale ko ʻení. Ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku mau fiemaʻú ʻoku ʻi heni ia, pea ʻoku mau lava ʻo akoʻi ki heʻemau fānau akó ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa ʻoku nau fiemaʻu ke tupulaki mo fiefia aí.”
Naʻe pehē ʻe Mekifāleni, “Ko ha tāpuaki lahi ia pea ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi, ka faifai angé pea mau hiki ki heʻemau ʻapiako foʻoú, te mau manatu ki homau taimi ʻi hení ʻi he fiefia mo e houngaʻia lahi. ʻE manatua ʻe he fānau ko ʻení pea te nau talanoa ki he meʻá ni ʻi he toenga ʻo ʻenau moʻuí.”
