THE SAN

The history of this people (minority) is one of genocide, land dispossession, virtual slavery on white and black owned farms, cultural loss and prejudice. Mr Jim morris, a San from ghanzi who was a delegate (part of the B.N.F (Botswana national front) delegation of 1992) accused the Botswana government of sending hand picked delegates to misinform the international gathering. "If the donors or delegates in this conference want the truth of how the san live in Botswana, I invite you all to visit the San communities and find out "he said. Its our firm conviction that people should be able to determine how they want to live. In Kenya claims by particular communities are often seen as threats to the Kenyan nation, instead of opportunities to make all groups feel included and to ensure that their needs are recognized. Immediate action to address inequality and the marginalization of this communities as the best way to avoid major conflicts. Proposed new constitution does not address the issues concerning these communities. It should devolve power away from the center and measures taken to ensure/guarantee minorities and indigenous peoples benefit. Equitability from existing and future development programs. The deploration of ethnicity in politics is pathetic and a total failure in itself. Hoping that ethnicity will disappear is misguided and unrealistic the suppression and denial of ethnical, political diversity leaves the minority in poverty and adverse political marginalization, which leads to inter-ethnic conflicts. According to one political scholar inter-ethnic conflict in Kenya is not imminent but remains a real risk in the medium to long term, always a slide into conflict is always very difficult to stop once momentum has built up. Preventative actions are too often begun only when conflict is looming. The measures taken are always too little too late. Action must be taken early at a time when conflict is still unlikely, inequality breed resentment and can ultimately lead to violence. Action in Kenya's case must be taken now. The Mission is using the Maasai as an Example of the threat posed to minority ideals which are over ruled by the majority, without looking at the contribution they make in our lives. We forget the reality of it all, that all of us are minority, you alone can judge your deeds, and freedom is your fundamental right. No one mandated to take it away from you, by dictating which lifestyle to take. A lawyer, a judge, policeman our leaders are all vulnerable to abuse of their titles. They can be compromised. That leaves only oneself.
