Amadoda amabili kwamathathu alahlwa icala lokubulala uMalcolm X azokhululwa – ngemuva kweminyaka engama-55 kwadutshulwa kwabulawa omunye wabaholi baseMelika abahlonishwa kakhulu e-New York.
UMuhammad Aziz kanye noKhalil Islam ongasekho bachitha iminyaka engaphezu kwengama-20 ejele umuntu ngamunye ngemuva kokutholakala benecala lokudubula babulale uMalcolm X ngesikhathi ethula inkulumo e-Audubon Ballroom e-New York ngowe-1965.
Amadoda amathathu agasela esiteji amdubula phambi komkakhe okhulelwe namadodakazi akhe amathathu. Omunye wababulali wadutshulwa emlenzeni waboshwa endaweni yesigameko, kwathi abanye ababili babaleka.
U-Aziz, ngaleso sikhathi owayebizwa ngokuthi uNorman 3X Butler, waboshwa ngemuva kwezinsuku ezinhlanu, kwathi uMnu u-Islam, owaziwa ngoThomas 15X Johnson, waboshwa ezinsukwini ezinhlanu ngemuva kwalokho.
Indoda eyaboshwa kwakunguMujahid Abdul Halim. UHalim walivuma ngokushesha icala lokubulala, kodwa ngesikhathi sokuqulwa kwecala lakhe wayelokhu emile kwelokuthi u-Aziz kanye no-Islam babengasebenzisani naye futhi babengenacala lokubulala uMalcom X.
Kusukela lapho, abammeli, izishoshovu kanye nezintatheli baye bakhulisa ukungabaza ngomphumela wokubulala okudume kakhulu emlandweni waseMelika.
Ngowezi-2019, ummeli wesifunda sase-Manhattan uCyrus Vance Jr wayala ukuthi kuphenywe ngokuphathwa budedengu kwecala kulandela ukubulala.
Ithimba lakhe lathola ukuthi abashushisi babengenabo ubufakazi obanele bokugweba u-Aziz kanye no-Islam, kodwa bagodla imininingwane yabo ngamabomu eyayingafakazela ukuthi la madoda amsulwa.
Akukaze kube khona ubufakazi obuphathekayo obuxhumanisa noma yimuphi wala madoda endaweni yesigameko, futhi ofakazi abaningi bezokuvikela basekela ofakazi bala madoda ukuthi babengekho ngesikhathi sokubulala.
Engxoxweni abe nayo ne-New York Times egameni labomthetho abaphatha kabi amacala ala madoda amabili angama-Black Muslim uthe akukho okungalungisa umonakalo odaliwe ku-Aziz kanye no-Islam, kodwa “esingakwenza ukuvuma iphutha, ubukhulu bephutha”.
UKhalil Islam washona ngowe-1997, ngemuva kweminyaka engama-22 akhululwa – cishe isikhathi esifanayo asichitha ejele.
Ngenkathi umenzi wamadokhumenthari u-Abdur-Rahman Muhammad ecela u-Aziz ukuthi asayine incwadi yezikhalazo ecela ummeli wesifunda sase-Manhattan ukuthi abuyekeze ukugwetshwa kwakhe, wavuma. Kodwa wamtshela ukuthi iminyaka engamashumi amabili ayichithe ejele yaqeda ithemba ayenalo lokuthi igama lakhe lisengagezwa libe msulwa.
