Photos 1-5: A view of Ar- Ramadeen Aj-Janubi bedopuin community
Ar Ramadeen Aj-Janubi (south):
Al Ramadeen is located to the north east of Qalqiliyya, behind the wall and 700 meters away from Zufin colony. There is also an Israeli military encampment tens of meters away from the gathering. Around 60 families, 200 people, inhabit the area.
Since the construction of the segregation wall, Al Ramadeen along side Abu Farda (150 people), Ad Day’a (279 people), Wad al Rasha (180 people), and Ras Tira (410 people) were all placed within a pocket of the wall forming some sort of a ‘ghetto’. The communities have been surrounded by the wall with only two Israeli-controlled gates connecting the communities with their Palestinian surroundings. At the beginning of 2009, the Israeli Supreme Court ordered the adjustment of the route of the segregation wall. All of the aforementioned communities were left out of the ‘ghetto’ except Al Ramadeen.
The Israelis efforts to evict Al Ramadeen were futile thanks to the people’s dedication and determination to keep their lands. In 2008, the Israeli Supreme Court have ruled out the Israeli Army demands to forcefully evict the people of al Ramadeen based on proofs that the people own the lands long before the Occupation of the West Bank in 1967.
However, the Israeli Army attempts to clear the gathering are a proof that Israeli Courts orders have no value and plans are made on different levels. 90 or so structures in Al Ramadeen are facing constant demolition threats and the same goes for tens of communities in the Jordan Valley area.
