Ukubhala imbali yomvukelo we-1916 eDublin kunzima. Iziganeko ezininzi ziye zabhalwa kakuhle, kodwa zifumene ukukhanya okuthile kwimemori yomntu. Makhe sijonge oko kwenzekayo ngePasika 1916. Emva kokuqala kwamanga , ukunyuka kwama-Easter ekugqibeleni kwanyuka kwixesha elide kuze kube ngoMsombuluko othulileyo eDublin ...
Dublin, ngoMsombuluko we-Easter 1916
Ngomso ngoMsombuluko we-Easter ngo-1916, abakholelwa kwi-Dubliners babone iikholomu zamaVolontiya ase-Ireland kunye namalungu ase-Irish Citizens Army (kunye nabanye abahlobo) behamba ngesixeko sabo.
Babethwele kakhulu izibhamu, okanye iipikes kunye ne-pickaxes, bembethe iifenimbala ezibalabala kunye ne-flamboyant okanye izambatho zesoloko. Inani labasebenzi be-motley babuthana phambi kwe- General Post Office yaseDublin (GPO) , bephulaphula uPatrick Pearse bememezela "iRiphabhliki yase-Ireland", bebhengeze ukuphakanyiswa kweflegi entsha. I-GPO yaphakanyiswa kwikomkhulu, yenziwe phantsi kobunkokheli beParear, iConnolly, uJoseph ugule ukufa, u-O'Rahilly ongathandabuzekiyo, uTom Clark, u-Sean MacDermott kunye nolwazi, kodwa unomdla, i-ADC egama linguMichael Collins.
Ezinye iindawo zedolophu zazihlala ziintambo ezihlukileyo. I-Milland Mill yafunwa ngu-Eamon de Valera kwiRiphabliki yase-Ireland (i-Dublin wags ithe yaphefumlelwa nguGaribaldi ethatha ibhasiki), ngoxa uMichael Mallin no-Countess Markiewicz bahlala epaki e-St Stephen's Green, e-Eamonn Ceant kwizindlu zaseMzantsi-Western Dublin, uEamonn Daley kwiiNkundla ezine.
Iinjongo ezininzi ezibalulekileyo azizange ziphunyezwe kwaye zaqala ukuba lumkiso malunga noko kwakuza kulandelwa. I-Fort Fort kwiPhoenix Park kwakufuneka ithathwe kwaye iphangwe, kodwa igosa elilawulayo lalinomthombo osisigxina kwi-bunker kunye naye kwi-Fairyhouse Races. Inqaba yaseDublin ayizange ihlaselwe ngenxa yokuba (ngamanga onke) iindlebe zokuthi yavikelwa yinqampu eqinile.
Umsebenzi wokubambisana ngefowuni wanyulwa emva komfazi odala othe waxelela abavukeli ukuba bezele amajoni. Amajoni yokuqala aseBrithani afika apha emva kweeyure ezintlanu. Ikholeji yeZiqu zintathu , eyakhiwe njengenqaba kunye ne-HQ engcono kunokuba i-GPO, yayinganyanzelwanga ngenxa yokungabikho komntu osebenzayo kwicala lomvukeli.
Ukusebenza kweSt Stephen's Green Park yi-ICA ngokukhawuleza kwehla kwintlekele njengoko imikhosi yaseBrithani ibonisa ubuchule obuninzi bempi ngaphezu kwabavukeli, kwaye yasetyenziselwa i-Shelbourne Hotel edibeneyo yokukhawulela ipaki ngemipu, ithumela abavukeli bezityholo zabo. Oku kwaqhubeka kwancipha kwi-farce xa kuthethwa ingqungquthela ukuze kuvumele umphathi ukuba adle amadada edamini.
Isicwangciso seRebhu yeeRebhu
Ukuphumelela kokuqala kwabavukeli bebaninzi ngenxa yokumangaliswa njengoko bekungenakwenzeka kwiBrithani. Izikhuselo ezingakhuselekanga kunye nemikhosi engaqeqeshwanga yaya ngqo ngqo kumgca wokudubula. Kwaye kwahlaselwa amahhashi aphefumlelweyo kwi-GPO phantsi koColonel Hammond yaphela entlekele xa amahashe ekhuselekile kwaye akhubeka kwiindawo zokuhlala zaseDublin.
Kodwa konke oku kwazanga ukufihla into yokuba ukuvukela kwaye kwabhujiswa ngaphandle kokuba yonke i-Ireland ivukele ekuxhaseni abavukeli, ukuzisa ukunqoba kwempi nokuxosha iBrithani, okanye i-british elula yayidla kwaye ishiywe, okanye iqela laseJamani liye laxhasa bavukeli.
Zonke ezi zinto zazingeyona nto ingathi umbono kaConnolly ukuba iBritish ayisebenzise i-artillery ukuphepha ukutshabalalisa inkunzi kunye notyalo-mali.
Iphupha elifutshane elifutshane lokuzimela
I-Ireland ayizange ivuke, kwaye ukuphazamiseka kwendawo kwagqitywa ngokukhawuleza, ngamanye amaxesha ngoncedo lwamaVolontiya kaZwelonke. AmaBritani awabonanga njongo yokuphosa ithawula. AmaJamani ayehlala ngokugqithiseleyo engekhoyo. Nangona u-Connolly kufuneka aqonde ukuba ulwa imfazwe elahlekileyo xa isibhobho sokuthi "uHelga" saqala ukugubungela iGPO. Sekunjalo, wayesabhala "Siyiphume!" xa i-GPO yawa phantsi kwayo, ukungaqondakali okungenzeka ngenxa yezinga labagubuzeli kwigazi lakhe emva kokuxhatshazwa kwezilonda ezimbini.
I-GPO ibe yincithakalo, iiNkundla ezine zitshisa kunye ne-ICA efuna indawo yokukhusela kwiKholeji yaseRoyal of Surgeons, imeko yaba yinto ebalulekileyo.
Kwakungekho nethemba lokunqoba abavukeli, amashumi amawaka amabutho aseBrithani athululela eDublin.
Kwakungumcimbi wexesha kude kube yilapho abavukeli beza kuzinikela-kwaye ngoMgqibelo olandelayo, uMlawuli oyiNtloko-Jikelele uSir John Maxwell wamkele ukuzinikela. Amasosha aseBritani ayefile (kunye ne-9 alahlekanga), amapolisa alishumi elinesithathu e-Royal Irish Constrary kunye namathathu asePollin Metropolitan Police nawo abulawa. Kwinqanaba lomvukeli, ama-64 abulawe, ubuncinane amabini ngokuthi "umlilo onobungane". Ilahleko eziphezulu ziphakathi kwabahlali kunye nabangewona umkhosi. 318 wasweleka emlilweni.
Kodwa ukubulawa kwakungekho ngaphaya kwexesha ... uMaxwell wayefuna ukuphindezela !
