Tue, 10/16/2007 - 12:18 — A German narrated film, about the Hadza, from the Rift valley, titled - "No need for development" this documentary from fPcN Germany describes the situation of the last hunter and gatherer in Tanzania, the Hadzabe, back in the late 1990s.
Hadzabe - Kein Bedarf nach Entwicklung ist eine Filmdokumentation von Freunde der Naturvölker e.V. und beschreibt die Situation des letzten Jäger- und Sammlervolkes in Tansania, die Hadzabe.
Mon, 07/23/2007 - 07:28 — An alert reader left a link to this article in the Daily Mail. By turns stereotypical and sensitive, the article reveals a few more details about the UAE trying to by Hadzabe land and the plight they are facing:
To the dismay of anthropologists and champions of the Earth's remaining tribal people, two wealthy Arab princes, who have made billions from oil and gas in the United Arab Emirates, are negotiating with the Tanzanian government to buy the Hadzabe's ancient lands to use as their own private hunting grounds.
Fri, 06/29/2007 - How come then, the living home land area for Innocent Hadzabe people being leased to United Arab Emirates royal family for the sake of establishing “personal safari play ground”! Calling them “backwards” now leasing their land! This is totally unfair and it violates human rights!
Where is democracy? Is it not for real that our Tanzanian Government a democratic government?! If the answer is yes, does it not follow and obey the definition postulated by Sir Abraham Lencollin; government for the people by the people!
Thu, 06/14/2007 - The Hadzabe, a hunter gather tribe in Tanzania, Africa, are believed to be the second-oldest people on Earth - but of course that is not saving them from being threatened with eviction and extinction.
Some greedy members of the United Arab Emirates 'royal' family want to turn the Hadzabe tribal hunting lands into a private 'by helicopter only' safari playground - so the Hadzabe who have been there for over 50,000 years will just have to go.
Wed, 05/23/2007 - The government is investigating alleged violations of human rights against the Hadzabe ethnic group committed by social researchers, tour firms, filmmakers and some non-governmental organizations.
Mbulu District Commissioner Elias Goroi said the activities of tour firms, film makers, social researchers and NGOs operating within Hadzabe territory at Yaeda Chini and Lake Eyasi basin were being probed.
The Hadzabe are an ancient traditional group of hunters and fruit gatherers.

Being hunters and gatherers, the Hadzabe need an intact, natural area to live in, unlike nomads or farmers. Over hundreds of thousands of years, living in tribes, without the restraints of anonymous hierarchic societies or the laws of religion, has proven to be the
best way to live.
Today, there are some 2000 Hadzabe (singular : Hadza) living around Lake Eyasi (in Hadza language : Balangida!), which is situated within the great east African rift valley. The Hadzabe speak their own distinct click lout language and are known to be the aborigines on their land. It may well also be assumed that they are the direct descendants of the early humans who lived there some 3 million years ago as bone findings indicate.
For many years our organisation friends of Peoples close to Nature has been concerned with the survival of the Hadzabe in east Africa. The most respected Hadzabe elders have given their request to our organisation to submit a paper to express the severity of the situation facing the Hadzabe, (singular: Hadza). Along with the Sandawe they are the last remaining aboriginal tribes, of click lout speaking peoples in eastern Africa.
From 17th March until the 7th of April 1997, rains of f P c N England and Hartmut Heller from FdN Germany, visited their friends the Hadzabe, around lake Eyasi, in northern Tanzania. Our trip began from Arusha and headed north west via Karatu from, where we left the road that circumnavigates the Ngorongoro crater national park and headed south west to Mongola.
The collection of important spiritual artefacts of the Hadzabe - a hunter-gatherer people located in East Africa - that had been stolen and brought to Germany by Nazi anthropologist Kohl-Larsen at the beginning of last century still is, unlawfully, in the hands of the Tubingen University, which means that the commercial exploitation of these artefact still bears fruit.
