Tibetan nomads in Amdo [Ch: Qinghai] are losing their permits to use their traditional grazing grounds as a 50-year-old agreement comes into force, transferring their ownership of the land to the state. Radio Free Asia reports its local sources as saying that the authorities are “confiscating the land to force the Tibetan nomads to relocate to the city” and enabling the land to be exploited by the authorities.
