Subject: Urgent: Survival e-news extra
To: zampieri.gg@libero.it
Survival's e-news is normally sent out monthly - apologies for this
extra bulletin, which we are sending because of the extreme
urgency of events unfolding in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve
in Botswana.
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)

parliament@gov.bw, dwnp@gov.bw, botswanatourism@gov.bw
Please forward this message to anyone you know who may be

Excellencies,
I want express my deep worry and my protest about what
Botswana Government are doing, because they has deliberately
cut off water to Gana and Gwi Bushman villages in the desert.
In the last 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.
The Botswana government is ignoring international law by failing to
recognise the Gana and Gwi's ownership rights over the land they
have traditionally lived on and used.
Services on which the Gana and Gwi Bushmen have become
dependent should be maintained – the cost is not prohibitive and
the European Union has offered to fund it.
The Gana and Gwi Bushmen have the right to decide for
themselves how they want to live – they are not 'primitive' simply
because they are hunters .
Sincerely yours,
Gianni Zampieri
