Botswana Bushmen to appeal eviction from diamond-laden lands
The future of Botswana's Bushmen, ancient indigenous communities still living as hunters and gatherers, may be decided in July when they appeal their eviction from ancestral lands located in the heart of one of Africa's richest diamond fields, a London-based rights group said.
A case brought by 248 ethnic Gana and Gwi Bushmen families fighting the forced eviction from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve was dismissed in 2002, but they won the right to appeal and will be heard by a Botswana court on July 4, Survival International said.
