| Central Kalahari Game Reserve | Botswana | San - Bushmen, Bahkwe, Basarwa, Bakgalagadi | Since the Game Reserve was first created in 1961, the Government of Botswana has undertaken three major forced evictions of the San peoples in 1997, 2002 and 2005. On the same day that the CKGR High Court case regarding evictions was adjourned, in September 2005 armed police and park officers told Bushmen within the reserve to leave, leading to conflict where dozens of people were reportedly loaded onto trucks and violently removed from their ancestral lands. |
