Stephen Corry makes me sick, honestly! For him and his organization to claim to be humanitarian and try to destroy a country like Botswana that is so brilliant at looking after it's people disgusts me. He makes no sense! Even that woman who claims that they are not advocating for boycott but in the same breath says people should not buy Botswana diamonds shows what kind of people we are dealing with here! Pathetic. Botswana, just do the work that benefits your people and ignore these assholes!

Tianaism THANK YOU I could not agree more. Firstly I must state that whilst the governments policy to bushmen has been imperfect, if there were diamonds there and they started mining, I would TOTALLY support that. It is because of diamonds that my country is not a basket case like the majority of post colonial african countries. It is because of diamonds that we have healthcare, education, development etc. so I support diamond mining in the KGR if they are there.

So are bushmen to remain illiterate and uneducated for infinity as the rest of the country moves ahead? please. there is definately discrimination against them and the government has not had the best approach at times, but to try and paint us as some sort of genocidal dictatorship trying to kill off indigenous people for some stones is so preposterous. We are a democracy, have never been involved in internal/external conflict. Survival International Must Go.

+bemaniac2 No one is trying to stop diamond mining in Botswana. It's the fact that it's occurring in land occupied by the Bushmen and that de Beers had tried to use this to displace them is the cause of concern. By calling Survival's campaign an attack on Botswana's wealth in the name of the Bushmen is a hyperbole beyond ridiculousness.

browndogsarebetter why is caring about other people and cultures mutually exclusive with caring for your own country? your disdain is unfounded and ridiculous, and your implication that the relocation of the bushmen is a so-called plight is nothing short of ignorant.

You can always count on the BBC for high-quality content, yet I find it hard to believe that the government of Botswana would spend the extra money relocating the Bushmen before beginning to mine.

I find it interesting that white Brit's in London care more about the so-called plight of relocated nomads than the problems in their own country.

It's not the UK that exploiting it's colonies - I certainly haven't earned a pennt from this scam. It's the rich exploiting the poor.
