IBL AL-SAQI,黎巴嫩 — 来自黎巴嫩南部靠近以色列边境的店铺,马克·迪亚布表示,当一个持续数十年的联合国维和部队在2027年撤离时,他所在的村庄生活将被彻底颠覆。

IBL AL-SAQI, Lebanon – From his shop in south Lebanon near the Israeli border, Mark Diab says life in his village will be turned upside down when a decades-long United Nations peacekeeping force, pulls out in 2027.

“联黎部队对我们而言不仅仅是生意,它就是家人,”59岁的迪亚布说,他的姐姐是伊布尔·萨基居民之一,多年来她嫁给了黎巴嫩临时联合国部队的维和人员。她现在住在西班牙。

“UNIFIL isn’t just business, to us it’s family,” said Diab, 59, whose sister is among residents of Ibl al-Saqi who have married peacekeepers from the UN Interim Force in Lebanon over the years. She now lives in Spain.

“我们之所以能够开店,基本上是因为联黎部队。我们创业的时候我还很年轻,”迪亚布在他的店里说,这家店就在联黎部队基地不远的路上,除了衣服,还出售酒精饮料和耳机等其他商品。

“We’re basically open because of the UN. We started when I was young,” Diab said from his shop, just down the road from a UNIFIL base, selling clothes along with other items including alcohol and headphones.

他说,该部队的撤离将打击当地经济,“将影响我们的关系……我们将失去安全和稳定。”远处传来爆炸声。

The force’s withdrawal will hurt the local economy and “will impact our relationships... and we’ll lose security and stability,” he said, as the sound of an explosion rang out in the distance.

“我对他们离开感到非常悲伤……我们与他们共度了一生。”自1978年以色列首次入侵黎巴嫩以来,联黎部队一直充当缓冲力量。

“I’m very sad they’re leaving... We’ve spent a lifetime with them.”UNIFIL has served as a buffer since Israel first invaded Lebanon in 1978.

经过数十年监测边境敌对行动并支持当地社区(包括提供人道主义援助),它已成为伊布尔·萨基等南黎巴嫩村庄社会结构的一部分。

It has become part of the fabric of south Lebanese villages like Ibl al-Saqi after decades spent monitoring border hostilities and supporting local communities, including with humanitarian assistance.

但由于华盛顿的压力,联合国安理会在2025年投票决定在2026年12月31日终止该部队的任务。

But after pressure from Washington, the UN Security Council in 2025 voted to end the force’s mandate on Dec 31, 2026.

在伊布尔·萨基一个名为“挪威广场”的狭窄花园里,破旧的挪威和黎巴嫩国旗飘扬在纪念牌旁边,这些纪念牌是为了纪念几十年前抵达的斯堪的纳维亚国家维和人员而设立的,他们的到来建立了深厚的联系。一块街道指示牌指向大约5200公里外的一个挪威城镇。

In a narrow garden in Ibl al-Saqi called Norway Square, tattered Norwegian and Lebanese flags flew near plaques paying tribute to peacekeepers from the Scandinavian country whose arrival decades ago forged ties that run deep. A street sign points to a town in Norway about 5,200km away.

附近,印度国旗在圣雄甘地公园飘扬,靠近由印度维和人员设立的雕像、海报和纪念牌。“积极的印记”伊布尔·萨基位于以色列宣布的“安全区”之外,该安全区沿着边境深入黎巴嫩领土约10公里。该区是在2026年以色列与伊朗支持的真主党爆发最新战争之后建立的。

Nearby, an Indian flag flew at Mahatma Gandhi Park close to a statue, posters and plaques set up by Indian peacekeepers. ‘Positive mark’Ibl al-Saqi is located just outside an Israeli-declared “security zone” which runs around 10km deep in Lebanese territory along the border.

以色列军队在附近行动,当地居民建议法新社记者避开原本宁静、和平的村庄南部地区,该村庄坐落在被橄榄林覆盖的山丘之间。

It was established after the latest war between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah group erupted in 2026.

在市长乔治·拉赫尔的市政办公室里,墙上挂着装框的联黎部队照片和纪念品,他说,多年来,联黎部队在冲突和不确定性中为村民带来了稳定和安慰。

Israeli troops operate nearby, and locals advised AFP journalists to avoid southern parts of the otherwise quiet, peaceful village, nestled among hills covered in olive groves.

“他们首先通过安全,然后通过经济、医疗、支持学校和照顾病患,在每个人的心中留下了积极的印记,”拉赫尔说。他与村里的其他人一样,也拥有挪威国籍并会说挪威语。

From his municipal office near framed UNIFIL pictures and paraphernalia, mayor George Rahhal said the peacekeepers had brought stability and reassurance to villagers over years of conflict and uncertainty. “They’ve left a positive mark on everybody’s hearts, firstly through security, then the economy, healthcare, supporting schools, the sick,” said Rahhal, who like others in the village also has Norwegian citizenship and speaks the language.

“联合国在某个时候必须离开……但不是在这种情况下。”黎巴嫩呼吁延长联黎部队的任务,担心在敌对行动阻止黎巴嫩军队(其资源有限)在全国南部部署的时候出现真空。拉赫尔说,伊卜勒萨吉村的许多居民是联黎部队的雇员或承包商。

“At some point the UN has to leave... but not in these circumstances.”Lebanon has called for UNIFIL’s mandate to be extended, fearing a security vacuum at a time when hostilities prevent the Lebanese army, whose resources are limited, from deploying across the country’s south. Rahhal said many Ibl al-Saqi residents were UNIFIL employees or contractors.

他说,几乎“整个社区”将因撤军而在经济上受到直接或间接的影响。

Almost “the entire community will be impacted” economically by the withdrawal, directly or indirectly, he said.

“我们可以在国际部队撤离后继续生活,但如何、在哪里以及由谁来负责我们?”联黎部队目前有来自近50个国家的约7500名人员。

“We can live after the international force (leaves), but how and where and who will be responsible for us?“UNIFIL now counts about 7,500 personnel from nearly 50 countries. Spokesperson Kandice Ardiel told AFP it also “has around 400 national staff” and works with numerous local companies providing contracted services.

发言人坎迪斯·阿迪尔告诉法新社,该部队还有大约400名当地员工,并与众多提供承包服务的当地公司合作。“留在我们的村庄”联黎部队驻扎在如今对大多数黎巴嫩人禁入的以色列占领地区,这是最近一场战争之后的情况。许多边境村庄遭受了严重破坏。

‘Stayed in our village’Peacekeepers are stationed in many Israeli-occupied areas now off-limits to most Lebanese after the most recent war. Many border villages have seen heavy destruction.

自3月以来,黎巴嫩已有超过4300人丧生,其中包括七名被交叉火力波及的维和人员。

More than 4,300 people have been killed in Lebanon since March, including seven peacekeepers caught in the crossfire.

尽管自6月下旬以来敌对行动有所缓和,以色列仍在进行空袭和拆除行动。

Israel still carries out strikes and demolitions despite a lull in hostilities since late June.

曾担任近20年联黎部队发言人的安德烈亚·特内蒂告诉法新社,该部队的存在“不仅仅是维持和平与安全”。

Andrea Tenenti, who served as UNIFIL spokesperson for almost 20 years, told AFP that the force’s presence “was not simply about maintaining peace and security”.

联合国驻黎巴嫩临时部队(UNIFIL)“长期以来一直是黎巴嫩南部仅次于黎巴嫩政府的第二大雇主和经济贡献者”,他说。

UNIFIL “has long been the second largest employer and economic contributor in southern Lebanon, after the Lebanese state”, he said.

“然而,其经济影响远远超出了其直接雇佣的劳动力范围,”他补充道,相关活动“支持着一个更广泛的企业和生计网络”。其撤离“可能造成重大真空……尤其是在一个特别关键的时刻”。

“Its economic footprint, however, extended far beyond its direct workforce,” he added, with associated activities “supporting a much wider network of businesses and livelihoods”. Its withdrawal “risks creating a significant vacuum... at a particularly critical time”.

在伊卜萨基的一个工作坊里,工人监督着嘈杂的刺绣机,缝制定制物品,包括横幅和标签,供附近驻扎的维和人员使用。

At a workshop in Ibl al-Saqi, labourers supervised clattering embroidery machines sewing customised items including banners and tags for peacekeepers stationed nearby.

货架上堆满了彩色纪念品和纪念品,专供UNIFIL人员购买——这是黎巴嫩经济在2019年崩溃后,该企业的主要市场。

Shelves were packed with colourful souvenirs and keepsakes for UNIFIL personnel – the business’s main market after Lebanon’s economy collapsed in 2019.

共同所有者哈利德·纳赫拉(Khaled Nahra),48岁,表示该工作坊已经运营了大约25年,雇佣了约十几名员工,但UNIFIL撤离后将被迫关闭。

Co-owner Khaled Nahra, 48, said the workshop had been running for some 25 years and had around a dozen employees, but would be forced to close when UNIFIL leaves.

“我们一直留在我们的村庄……与联合国合作的最好之处就是这一点,”他说。

“We’ve stayed in our village... this was the best thing about working with the UN,” he said.

“有些人在这里工作了15……20年。他们就像我一样。他们不知道该怎么办。”法新社

“There are people who’ve been working here for 15... 20 years. They’re like me. They don’t know what to do.”AFP
