BOTSWANA: BUSHMEN WITHOUT
WATER
The Botswana government has
now deliberately cut off water to Gana and Gwi Bushman
villages in the desert. In the last couple of days officials have
removed parts from the Bushmen's
only pump, making it impossible for them to get any water. They also
deliberately emptied the
tanks containing their remaining water supplies. Bushmen who tried to
protest were abused.
Government officials still
falsely claim that Bushmen are leaving their homes willingly - although
they admit that they want to remove all Bushmen from their ancestral
lands in the reserve. If they
succeed it will entail the destruction of the Gana and Gwi tribes who
have supported themselves
on their land for 20,000 years.
PLEASE HELP!
Please send an email (with a blank subject line) protesting at this step
to as many as possible of:
stsiane@gov.bw,
parliament@gov.bw,
dwnp@gov.bw,
botswanatourism@gov.bw
Please forward this message to anyone you know who may be interested.
