Under the project called Demining for Development, 69 thousand square meters of land will be released from landmine, under a project called ‘Demining for Development’ for development for the development of the Indo-United Nations Development Fund.
With the help of the United Nations Office (UNOSC) for southern-south cooperation, the purpose of this project, applied by the UN Development Program (UNDP), must contribute to achieving peace and prosperity for the local people.
For a long time, landmines were established during a violent battle between Senegal’s security forces and rebels in the Kasaman region, whose local residents are still suffering.
There are threats to protect the landmakes and explosive remains against forests, plains and rural paths, protecting ordinary citizens and returning to their homes to displaced people.
In view of this, the removal of explosive material from the land of 1,000 square meters will be emphasized, launching agricultural activities, strengthening livelihood and strengthening sustainable peace and development.
The Senegal government has expressed gratitude to the project and hopes that it will complete the removal of landmines from the southern part of the country, guarantee the protection of the local people and all activities can be resumed there.
