DUMFRIES, Skottland, September 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

  • Landmineorganisasjonen kaller slutten på 22 års arbeid "en historisk oppnåelse" 
  • Norge er med på å bedre sikkerheten og utviklingen til tusenvis. 

Regjeringen i Mosambik kommer i dag til å offisielt erklære landet fritt for landminer, kort tid etter den britiske minerydderorganisasjonen HALO Trust bekreftet at de har ødelagt den siste minen på sitt siste kjente minefelt.

Mosambik var ett av verdens mest minebelagte land. Før HALO kom i gang med sitt pionerprogram i 1993, medførte landminene hundrevis av ulykker, herunder dødsfall og amputasjoner.

Å rydde Mosambik for landminer gir enorme fordeler til landets 26 millioner innbyggere. Nå kan lokalsamfunnene trygt dyrke avlinger og la husdyrene beite fritt omkring. Mineryddingen har ført til at landet kan utvikle sin infrastruktur, få tilgang til gass og kull, øke turismen og tiltrekke seg internasjonale investeringer. Mosambiks BNP har økt 7 % årlig siden HALO kom i gang med mineryddingen, og det er nå rangert som nr. 10 i verden for reell BNP-vekst.

HALO har ansatt mer enn 1 600 menn og kvinner fra Mosambik siden 1993. Ved hjelp av manuelle og mekaniske mineryddingsmetoder har de fjernet alle minene på over 17 millioner kvadratmeter. Til sammen har HALOs ansatte fjernet over 171 000 landminer. Dette utgjør omtrent 80 % av mineryddingen.

James Cowan, administrerende direktør i HALO CEO sa: 

'Mosambik er et overbevisende eksempel på hvordan man skal systematisk håndtere krigsødeleggelsene, og i samarbeid med regjeringen kan lokalbefolkningen og donorer gjenoppbygge og øke veksten i tidligere konfliktherjede land'

**** For intervju med HALOS regiondirektører, case-studier, kart, bilder og opptak av ødeleggelsen av den siste landminen, kan du sende en e-post til: [email protected] **** 

MERKNAD TIL REDAKTØRER 

  1. HALOs arbeid i Mosambik ble finansiert av regjeringen i USA, Storbritannia, Nederland, Irland, Japan, Sveits, Norge, Sverige, Australia, Belgia, samt Reece Foundation, Tokyo Broadcasting System, UNDP, World Vision, Trocaire, Concern, Mitsubishi Corporation, National Demining Institute/Hitachi og Actifonds Mijnen Ruimen.
  2. Den siste minen som ble ødelagt av HALO anses å være den siste som skal ryddes fra et kjent minefelt, og støtter Mosambiks samsvar med antipersonellminekonvensjonen. Selv om man ikke kan utelukke et lite antall forvillede eller nedgravde miner i fremtiden, er Mosambik nå så å si fullstendig 'minefritt'.
