BOTSWANA: Bushmen’s last stand as armed police raid reserve

Gana and Gwi Bushmen who have returned to their land were today ordered to leave within ten days. Armed police and wildlife scouts are camped in the Bushmen's reserve, and are threatening to shoot them dead...Survival's director Stephen Corry said today... ‘...The outside world won't turn a blind eye to their destruction - which is now tantamount to genocide. Tourists to Botswana and those who buy diamonds from De Beers are now complicit in this, the greatest of crimes.'
