News
"In December 2015, Handicap International re-launched demining operations in Casamance, Senegal, the region at the center of a 33-year-long conflict between the Senegalese army and an armed independence group. Handicap International deminers aim to clear 55,000 square meters of around three villages by August. Between 2007 and 2012, Handicap International contributed to the clearance of 1,800,000 square meters of land. Authorities estimate that 480,000 square meters of land in Casamance are still polluted with landmines and other explosive remnants of war." (reliefweb.int)
