Droits des Peuples autochtones - Amnesty International
Bien que leurs coutumes et leurs cultures diffèrent, les peuples autochtones de toute la planète sont confrontés aux mêmes difficultés. Ils voient leurs droits ...

Mais en réalité, les pays du Nord ont, dans une très large mesure, cessé tout effort visant à restaurer la biodiversité chez eux. Au lieu de cela, ils prônent l’adoption de modèles de conservation prenant la forme de forteresses militarisées dans les pays du Sud. Ils ciblent souvent les territoires de peuples autochtones, qui sont chassés pour que ces terres soient intégrées à des parcs nationaux. Amnesty International a recueilli des informations à ce sujet en Tanzanie, <anchor>en Ouganda</anchor>, au Kenya, au Népal et au Cambodge.

# Uganda: 13 Years in limbo: Forced evictions of the Benet in the name of conservation

On 16 February 2008, Ugandan authorities forcibly evicted 178 Indigenous Benet families from Benet forest, Mount Elgon, Sebei region (Bukwo and Kween districts), in eastern Uganda, rendering them homeless. Over a decade later, when Amnesty International visited Mount Elgon, members of the Indigenous Benet community were still living in temporary resettlement sites and reeling from the effects of the forced evictions.

This report focuses on the plight of the Benet Indigenous peoples of Mount Elgon; however, this is just one of many cases of forced evictions in Uganda.
