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.
