Assalamualaikum dan Salam Bahagia,
Dalam entry 'Interview With an Ex-Mujahiddeen Part 2', Mr W ada menyebut tentang sejarah yang menarik di Lembah Hindukush yang terletak di antara Pakistan dan Afghanistan. Ada sekumpulan penduduk yang menetap di lembah ini sejak zaman berzaman dan mereka ini adalah kaum Kalash. Peta yang bertanda ijo tu wilayah kaum Kalash.
Kaum Kalash mendakwa mereka keturunan Alexander the Great. Ada yang mempercayai teori ni tapi ada para pengkaji dan sejarahwan menyangkal akan dakwaan ini. Deme berteori kaum Kalash ni asanye keturunan kaum Aryan yang datang ke wilayah ini sejak sebelum zaman Masehi lagi.
Kini kaum Kalash ni terbagi pada 2 golongan - yang Muslim seperti gambor kat atas dan yang tak Muslim seperti gambor-gambor berikutnya. Yang Muslim dok di daerah yang dipanggil Nuristan (sebab dah dapat Nur) dan yang idok Muslim deme ni digelor Kafir dan wilayah deme dikenali sebagai Kafirstan. Ya, ada nama tempat cam ni kat situ. Pegilah kome melancong ke sana.
Ropa salah sorang budok Kalash. Nampok pun banyok ropa Indo-European dia nih. Comotlah pulok.
Kalash Kafir dengan pakaian tradisional deme. Pengkaji-pengkaji dari Barat cube mempertahankan cara hidup deme ni (dan juga mempertahankan kepercayaan pagan deme. Deme masih menyembah Tuhan yang seropa dengan Tuhan Yunani Kuno termasuk Zeus). Jumlah Kalash Kafir ni dianggarkan lebih kurang 3 ribu dan menurun sebab ada yang masuk Islam.
Antara adat deme ialah memaka tattoo di muka. Dah cantik Yong, takyah conteng-conteng muka ni.
Moh kite sambung chat teman dengan Mr W. Kome yang tak tau ujung pangka interview teman ni, sila gi cari entry yang Part 1 dan Part 2 yek. Nanti idok ler meraba-meraban...
Yong: No fighting while you were with them (the Turkmen)?
W: Others only...Russian aircraft bombing and hiding people.
Yong: Anybody died? Among the Turkmen?
W: I think so.
Yong: Then Nooriddin took you to Pansjir Valley?
W: That means one side totally died and finally finished. You understand?
(Kome kena faham sebab kami berchatting, bila teman tanya dia cam tak menjawab sebab pada masa yang sama dia pun tengah menaip. Jadi transkrip ni kalau dibaca macam tak coherent).
Yong: Which side totally finished?
W: If I'm alive (now) it's totally clear (which side totally finished, kan?)
Yong: (Dalam hati...Duh!)
W: Yes I was taken to Pansjir Valley.
(Sebuah bangkai helikopter Soviet Rusia yang ditembak jatuh oleh para pejuang Mujahiddeen masa penaklukan tentera Soviet di Afghanistan).
Yong: The communist militia totally finished? This was face to face fighting you mean?
W: I met late Ahmet Shah Masood.
Yong: Wait...answer my question first!
W: Yes they totally finished.
Yong: In 3 encounters?
W: I've a tactic that is fighting must be when we are ready even when we always escaped.
(Kome panda-pandalah mentafsir maksud dia, jenuh dia nak speaking ni, berbelit-belit. Sentiasa berjuang dan bersedia walaupun masa nok melarikan diri, teman pikior).
Yong: How many militia killed?
W: We are 25 people. After 3 fightings, remain 5 (people). Nooriddin and I left for Tajik area.
Yong: How many communist militia?
W: Remain 3 stay there coz they were injured. More than 200 (communists).
Yong: More than 200 communist militia and only 25 Turkmen?
W: Yes, almost.
Yong: Who was the commander?
W: Soldiers were coming. Yes Russian commander.
Yong: No, no, among the Turkmen, who was the commander?
W: We applied kidnap. Turkmen people is local militia. May be you can say guerrilas. Only I am the commander.
Yong: Who was their leader?
W: Beynazar. Very honest and wonderful hero young man.
Yong: You were the commander? What about Beynazar? He followed your order?
W: Yesss. I didn't want to be commander, they insisted. All 25 people followed me.
Yong: How old were you? Did you have a military training?
W: 25.
Yong: Had military training or not?
W: I was trained by our illegal group in Turkey. Very special training.
Yong: At that time have you gone for training in the Turkish army?
W: Some people trained us and they are retired from army. No, later I did my military training.
(Almarhum Ahmad Shah Massod merupakan salah seorang hero Tajik dan Afghanistan sewaktu peperangan 10 tahun Soviet-Afghanistan).

ReplyDeleteSalam Yong;
ReplyDeleteHuishhh... lenggoh jugak tengkok teman melangut nak memahami cerita part 3 nih, berbelit jugak Pak Arab nih...
25 orang mujahideen lawan 200 askar russian, hehehe... layan jelah...
Salam Yob Isa, yg deme lawan bkn sumer Russian, tp local militia yg makan gaji dgn Soviet tu. Only Russians yg naik kopter dan APC, pengecut kan. Even some of the Russian soldiers were of Tajik and Uzbek origins, morale was really low. Some even crossed over to the Mujahiddeens. The word Mujahiddeen became very popular in the English dictionary during this period. These fighters made up of various nationalities. There were a lot of reports on this. I think you were too young to know about this. Btw, I met 2 Afghan policewomen who worked for the Soviet while in the USSR. Macam sial, togok beer!
ReplyDeleteSalam Kak Halimaaa....
