A COMPLAINT IN SOLIDARITY 'Bushmen of the Kalahari AND INDIGENOUS AND TRIBAL "among the lost" by Raphael Milandre
"Among the lost"
is the exciting new exhibition of photography and projection Raffaella Milandri solo traveler.
will be held December 13 at 16:00 at the Municipal Auditorium in San Benedetto del Tronto. "It 's a photo-reportage, an important testimony gathered in Botswana which is a tribute of solidarity with the people of the Kalahari Bushmen and all indigenous peoples. With "Among the people lost," we also want to raise awareness Italian Parliament and the public in favor of ratifying ILO 169 in Italy, "says the author.
This report, accompanied by an interview-report on the situation of the Bushmen, is divided into three sections of Dante's pictures: Pictures of the Bushmen's ancestral land in its beauty (Paradise), the village of the Bushmen in the Kalahari with problems of survival (Purgatorio) and, finally, one of the fields of deportation (Hell).
"During my interview the woman Bushman, while recounting the vicissitudes of his people shall always there, a distant point where he wants to return: it is his ancestral land in the Kalahari desert," says Milandri, adding:
"The title has double meaning: the lost people are the Bushmen, dispersed and lost in their identity, but in Dante's sense are also the governments and multinationals, when they use a cruel power against defenseless people"
HISTORY of the Kalahari Bushmen
The Bushmen are one of the most ancient peoples of the earth: for over 30,000 years have lived in the Kalahari Desert. Of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana, has in fact been created in 1961 to protect their territory and their culture, based on hunting and on a life in harmony with nature. But by 1997 he started a real odyssey for this ancient people, after the discovery of rich diamond mines in their desert. Men, women, children, old people taken away by force on the truck, demolished villages, school and medical clinic closed, and finally destroyed water reservoirs and water wells closed.
After several deportations, today in the reserves were only about 300 Bushmen, all others are in resettlement camps. These 300 Bushmen have huge problems of survival and a very hard life: the government forbids them to go hunting, and were arrested if they do, the government forbids them to use water wells, and are forced to collect water from puddles in the sand and roots. prohibits Their life is hard.
"I visited the village in the desert, having won their sugar, milk, tea and tobacco, I take a tank of water out of the car and laid on the ground, in the middle of the circle of villagers sitting in the shade of one of the rare trees. And now, with a hierarchy and family that is obscure to me, appear tin cups that are filled and emptied slowly, in religious silence. Now I fully understand what it means to the water in the desert. I see it in their eyes, their faces powdered and dry lips. I ask a girl who speaks a little 'English where there is water, and she raises her arm, pointing to the west, far, far away .... The women wash clothes in basins with a little water and dense dark. The only water wells nearby (30 miles) have been closed and not allowed to dig new ones. "tells the Milandri.
Today, as the Bushmen are fighting for survival in the desert, the thousands who are
in the resettlement camps are victims of alcoholism, HIV, depression. Their unique and ancient culture in danger of disappearing forever. They're losing their identity and still waiting for the recognition of their human rights.
In 2006, the Bushmen won a long-due-to the government of Botswana, obtaining the right to live on their land, using water wells and to hunt for their food needs, but nothing after the ruling is changed. Every time they tried to return to their land, forced them to return in the resettlement camps.
E 'of 12 November 2009, a news reported by Canadian newspaper Globe and Mail: Bushman
a woman at a checkpoint, see the picture hanging on the President of Botswana Ian Kama and says that for her is a compliment: "It seems a Bushman. " The comment is considered an insult and a woman is brought to the police station, segregated for a day and a night, and forced to pay a fine. The appeal of Milandri:
"It 's urgent action now, people Bushman is really desperate, do not take it anymore. Some of the material in my show-projection has already been sent, together with documentation, to the Commissioner for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination UN. The Secretary in office has confirmed to me that the issue of the Bushmen will be examined within the first months of 2010. Let's hope so "I
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND THE ILO 169
The case of the Bushmen is, unfortunately, a drop in the bucket of discrimination, violence and abuse to which they were subject to indigenous and tribal peoples: Native Americans (from Apache to Inuit) , the Australian Aborigines, the Maori New Zealanders, South American Indians, African pygmies, and too-many-others.
About 300 million people worldwide are united by this fate, cultures and societies so special that should be World Heritage simple lifestyle in contact with nature.
For their part, only the request to be left on their land and be recognized as human beings, with their rights by governments and corporations, the unscrupulous greed of possession of land where there is wealth: diamonds, uranium , gold, oil, forests.
"Do not look at these people with sympathy only in films and documentaries where they tell their stories: they are human beings, real suffering. I saw the same pain and bewilderment in the eyes of the Inuit in Alaska, the Apaches in the United States, of the Aborigines in Australia, the Bushmen in Botswana. I witnessed cruel acts of racism and I've seen anywhere really inhuman treatment for those people who are only guilty of being simple and genuine. And at risk of extinction, "said Raffaella Milandri
the call and the message of the exhibition" Between the lost "is to support and advocate the ratification of Italy to the ILO 169, which is an international convention in support of indigenous peoples tribal.
"For Italy, which is already part of the ILO, an agency delll'ONU, since 1919, is a ratification that has no effect on the national reality. It 's just a gesture of solidarity that helps these people to be recognized in their dignity. On Facebook we have formed a group that has to Today about 2000 members, in order to urge the Minister Frattini to this ratification.
Milandri The initiative has found fertile ground in this campaign in San Benedetto del Tronto, where the City Council the Green Party-engine-in fact recently approved the motion for ratification of Italy to the ILO 169, which will now be sent to the President of the Republic and of the Council and relevant Ministries. The Councillor for Environmental Policy, Paul Canducci, promotes the show.
