Kwisiqithi esizimeleyo kuLwandlekazi lwaseIndiya, kukho isizwe sabemi bomthonyama esihlasela nabani na ozama ukutyelela. Esi siqithi sathiywa njengeyona inzima ukutyelelwa kunye ne eyingozi kakhulu emhlabeni .

I-Indiya iye yabanqabela abemi bayo ukuba batyelele iNorth Sentinel Island okanye bazame ukunxibelelana nabantu abahlala apho. Ukuhamba ngaphakathi kweekhilomitha ezintathu zesiqithi akukho semthethweni.

Abantu baseSentinele baziwa ngogonyamelo kunye nokungathandi ukunxibelelana nabangaphandle. Kuncinci okwaziwayo malunga nesiqithi esisikwere apho bahlala khona, ubukhulu becala kuba igutyungelwe lihlathi.

Umlobi weentlanzi ezimbini owayehlamba elunxwemeni ngo-2006 ahlaselwa ngokukhawuleza aza abulawa sisizwe. Xa iihelikopta ezivela kuLindi lweeNxweme zaseIndiya zibhabha ngaphezulu- nokuba kukwimishini yokuhlola okanye ukushiya iipasile zokutya kwabantu-badibana neentolo namatye.

Akukho mntu uqinisekileyo ukuba bangaphi abantu baseSentinele abahlala kwesi siqithi - kuqikelelwa ukuba kuphakathi kwabantu abangama-50 nama-400. Baye bahlala bodwa kwesi siqithi ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-60,000, ngokutsho kwe-anthropologists.

Kodwa, ngokweqela elinye lamalungelo esizwe, AbaseSentinele basengozini yokufa . I-Survival International ichaze elona hlanga njengelona qela labantu lisemngciphekweni kwihlabathi jikelele, nanjengoko bengakhange bazikhusele kwizifo ezifana nomkhuhlane.

Ngokweli qela, njengomlobi ngokungekho mthethweni kunye ne-daredevils yokukhangela ukwaphuka kwenqanawa kuhlala i-intshi kufutshane nesiqithi, babeka umngcipheko kwimpilo yesizwe. Ezinye izazi ngemvelaphi yabantu ziye zenjenjalo bavakalise inkxalabo malunga nokunyuka kwezokhenketho kwii-Andaman naseNicobar Islands ezingabamelwane ezinokutsala abantu kufutshane nesiqithi saseMantla Sentinel.

Izizwe ezikhulu zeAndamanese zaseIndiya zeAndaman Islands zatshabalaliswa zizifo xa amaBritane aqokelela iziqithi kwiminyaka yoo-1800, umlawuli weSurvival International, uStephen Corry, yatsho kwingxelo . Ekuphela kwendlela abasemagunyeni baseAndaman abanokuthintela ukubhujiswa kwesinye isizwe kukuqinisekisa ukuba iNorth Sentinel Island ikhuselwe kubantu bangaphandle.
