Baalipeelwe umulimo wa kofwako ukwibaka Umulenda wa Bufumu ne ng’anda ya kwikalamo bamishonali pa nsumbu iili pa Cishiba ca Pacific. Amekalilo pali yiyi insumbu alipuseneko. Impindi ishingi, amalaiti ne menda fyalukuya kabili mu misebo mwalukuba amenda. Ba Amy baalukufunga abakwabo kabili baalukwikala lukoso mu cipinda icinini pa otelo. Kambi kasuba, baalilabiile mu bukali ku mukwabesu umwanakashi woyo balukupyunga na ye. Baalibombomene pakuti pali fifi bacitile. Ili babweleele mu cipinda baalukwikala ninshi amalaiti aya, balitembeele kuli baYawe ne kubalomba ati babofweko.

Ukufuma mu mwaka wa 2000, tulicimfishe imilandu 268 mu calo conse mu masolololo aakulu. Kabili imilandu 24 pali yeyo 268 yali mwi solololo ilitwa ati European Court of Human Rights.

Ba Rhonna aba ku Asia, balilabiile ati palapite’mpindi pakweba ati tutatiko’kubona ifi baYawe batofwako mu mweo wesu. Balilabiile ne kweba ati, “Ili mwacite’fyo, cikamusangalasheni ukwishiba ati baYawe balimubiikileniko akalango!”
