Moroccan Landmines Continue to Kill in Western Sahara
The landmines planted by the Moroccan occupation in Western Sahara continue to cause the death and threaten the lives of civilians, despite ongoing demining efforts. The Sahrawi government estimates that around ten million mines are planted, in addition to random mines. Tens of thousands of these have been removed by local and international teams, but the demining process requires significant time and effort, with increasing dangers posed by drones that have led to civilian casualties. A visit by an African delegation to Sahrawi camps helped to raise international awareness about the magnitude of the danger and the challenges involved in demining the area.
