With water resources in SE Morocco in short supply, the future of the pre-Sahara requires a re-appraisal of local, often overlooked, practices of making a living that persist in the margins of agricultural modernization. "Where Our Herds No Longer Wander" buff.ly/3KZhObG

**URGENT PRESS RELEASE!!** Tomorrow morning, Israeli authorities are planning to demolish 47 homes belonging to Bedouin citizens in the neighborhood of Wadi al-Khalil, near the village of Umm al-Batin in the Negev. This is the largest home demolition operation ever in a single day since the demolition of Al-Araqeeb in 2010, led by Ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Amichai Chikli. Their goal is to ignite the Negev in order to deepen racial discrimination. The state is trying to force the residents of Wadi al-Khalil to move to Neighborhood 1 in Umm al-Batin, where locals are threatening to resort to severe violence against them. The residents of Wadi al-Khalil are willing to vacate their neighborhood - for the extension of Highway 6 southward - but refuse to move to the dangerous neighborhood in Umm al-Batin, and request to reside in a neighborhood that is currently under development in Tel Sheba. According to information available to us, the police intend to block Highway 60 in the morning, to prevent residents of the Negev from coming to support the neighborhood residents. We invite media teams from Israel and abroad to cover the calamitous event, starting 6am. This severe violation of the human rights of hundreds of people has only one reason - shameless racism of the Israeli government. Location of the neighborhood: maps.app.goo.gl/bpqFGFovLEehโ€ฆ For background (in Hebrew, can be translated on Twitter): twitter.com/rcuvnegev/statusโ€ฆ For details: Nati 054-2550085 Yaela 054-7487005
