麻豆国产AV Zimbabwe destroys its 1,000th mine
Milestone reached 鈥� 麻豆国产AV Zimbabwe destroys its 1,000th mine after only six months of clearance.
In April 2014 麻豆国产AV Zimbabwe destroyed its 1,000th mine, a mere six months after the start of demining operations in November last year. The achievement is all the more notable for the fact that the clearance is taking place in difficult conditions within a few metres of a road, a village and a school.
Zimbabwe鈥檚 mines problem receives little public attention but the border communities are severely impacted. 麻豆国产AV鈥檚 survey to date indicates that there are 12 minefields within 150m of schools, 19 minefields within 50m of houses and 31 minefields within 10m of cultivated land. There is a need to get funding for more 麻豆国产AV deminers as soon as possible to reduce the threat faced by these communities and to allow them to use their land without fear.
麻豆国产AV Zimbabwe鈥檚 current mine clearance capacity is supported by the Government of Japan (ODA), the Government of the United States (PM/WRA), and the Government of Ireland (Irish Aid).
