Sengwer Forest People's eviction

Postby oldclaypaws » Sat Feb 15, 2014 11:22 am

I'd ask everyone to read the following description of the circumstances facing the Sengwer Forest hunter-gatherers in Kenya and please consider signing the Avaaz petition. Its a story of some of the planets last indigenous people being cruelly and forceably evicted from their ancestral lands by the actions of soldiers, banks and politicians, their homes where they've lived sustainably being torched in the process. Many of their vulnerable members are dying. Nearly a million people have so far signed the petition.
