Botswana: shooting Bushmen from helicopters is wrong!

tranarchist:

There are huge diamond deposits on, or close to, the Bushmen’s lands, as well as natural gas which is soon to be fracked out of the soil.
Botswana would rather see wealthy foreign tourists on the Bushman’s
lands – many of them western trophy hunters – as well as foreign corporations digging for resources underneath it. In their eyes, ‘primitive’ hunter gatherers are an inconvenience.

Between 1997 and 2002, hundreds of Bushman families were brutally evicted from their land in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve.
Their homes were destroyed, their wells were capped, their possessions
were confiscated, and they were moved to government eviction camps en
masse. Any who tried to resist were beaten, or even shot with rubber
bullets.

There are close ties between the Botswana government and the infamous De Beers diamond corporation, and both have grown rich from the gemstones.
