Gana & Gwi Bushmen - Survival labelled 'terrorist' organisation [Botswana]

Survival has recently been labelled a 'terrorist' organisation by a senior figure in Debswana, De Beers's Botswana subsidiary...Mr Rafael Runco, Chairman of Survival International, said today, 'These remarks clearly show that, rather than addressing the huge international concern at the forced removal of the Bushmen, the Botswana government and Debswana are resorting to name-calling. The government ought to be allowing the Bushmen back on to their land, rather than criticising the messenger.'
