Familia za Wakenya waliofia Urusi zazika migomba

Familia za vijana wawili wa Kenya, James na Charles, wamezikwa migomba baada ya kufa vitani vya Urusi nchini Ukraine. Mamlaka za Urusi zimeeleza kuwa miili haitarejeshwa, ikiwapa chaguo la kuchomwa au kuzikwa huko. Familia zimechagua mazishi ya migomba ili kufuata mila zao.

James na Charles, vijana wawili kutoka familia tofauti nchini Kenya, walienda Urusi wakitarajia kazi za kawaida kama upishi au udereva zenye mishahara mirefu. Badala yake, walijikuta wakiwa katika jeshi la Urusi wakipigana vita vya Ukraine.

Wote wawili wamefariki, na mamlaka za Urusi zimewaelezea familia zao chaguo mbili: miili ichomwe na majivu yarudishwe, au izikwe Urusi kwa heshima za kijeshi. Kwa sababu uchomaji ni kinyume na mila za Kiafrika na kuzikwa mbali ni chungu, familia zilizika migomba.

Kwa familia ya James, dada yake Margaret amesema mama yao bado hajakubali kifo cha mwanawe pekee. James alikuwa na ndoto za kununua ardhi na kumsaidia mama yake, na dakika chache kabla ya kuondoka aliahidi kubadilisha maisha yao.

Mama yake Charles, Bibiana Waithaka, alikuwa ametarajia mshahara wa hadi Shilingi 800,000 kwa mwezi. Mwanawe alimwomba pesa nyumbani baadaye, na simu yake ya mwisho ilikuwa ya kutisha: “Mama, mama leo…” akilia kabla ya kukatika.

Hii ni pigo kwa familia zinazotafuta faraja katika huzuni hii.
