From the Kalahari to Court: The Bushmen's Victory

[13herm]

No person should be forced off their land and have their culture destroyed if they wish to preserve it. No one has the right to make a decision for another person even if it's in the name of development. If these people choose to remain in the Stone Age why should anyone be able to say oh no that't not what you really want, we'll show you what the correct decision is? If they choose to develop that's fine but if they choose not to let them live with their decision.

Pothila: where r u from? Survival is such a pathetic excuse of a humanitarian organisation. In ur own right do u feel its okay for the Bushmen to continue living the way they do? Thats what the gorvenment of Bots wants to stop and give this people education,shelter and for them to vote and get involved in the development of their country.

I dont know what survival is up to? they have been since time immemorial but we were removed, they continued, court case was 'won'. but nothing has happend people continue to suffer. if i may ask, if our government is doing this to us, can outsider do something better. i doubt. They are calling us Bushmen and all sorts of names. surely if they had our interests at heart they and Corry could not be caling us BUSHMEN. this is unacceptable.

Survival International keep singing! Could you please start a campaign against the British Goverment regarding Diego Garcia!!

[NigelHollioake]

Wow, congratulations Survival!

Once again it's the white man going to the rescue of the black man...

So, you are happy that the bushmen should continue to live in the Stone Age while the white man sends rockets to other planets. At its current pace of development, in 50 years time Botswana will be fully developed and richer than many European countries, and then the "saviour" white man will be moaning that the Botswana government is neglecting its own indigenous people, very intelligent...

what persecution?!!!!!

[Bantsula]

Is this a commercial by Survival International? Is Survival International in need of more money?

[Pothila]

No is the answer to the first question. This is an information program about a rare success with the assistance of Survival. Survival helps tribal peoples in many parts of the world and needs supporters to lobby govts/leaders in this cause.
