After the war, explosive threat remains hidden under Afghan soil


District de Saydabad (Afghanistan) (AFP) – Swathes of Afghanistan are littered with unexploded mines, grenades and mortars spanning years of conflict. When fighting in the country subsided last year, following the Taliban’s seizure of power, many people returned to previously abandoned villages, schools and farmland. It exposed a new wave of Afghans to unexploded ordnance.
