Description :
White stones mark areas that have been made safe. It has taken 10 months to clear less than two square kilometres of land around the airbase and surrounding villages. Almost 9,000 anti-personnel mines and some 2,500 other explosive devices were unearthed during this time, but many more remain in the ground.
