The United States pledges $3 million for humanitarian mine action during Prince Harry’s visit to Angola

SUMMARY: Prince Harry’s visit to Angola in September 2019 renewed global awareness of the persistent danger posed by landmines. In 1997, his mother, Princess Diana, famously walked through a minefield in Huambo, making many people aware of landmines and their devastating impact for the first time. Twenty-two years later, Prince Harry retraced her steps along what is now a bustling street, showing the direct link between socioeconomic development and humanitarian mine action.
