[ICRC]Over 1.5 million anti-personnel mines still lie in wait along Zimbabwe's borders with Mozambique. Since 1980, they have killed over 1,500 people and 120,000 head of livestock. Michael Berril is the ICRC's expert on weapons contamination in Harare. As he ends his posting in the country, he explains how the joint initiative between the ICRC and the Zimbabwean government will boost efforts to clear anti-personnel mines and improve the lives of communities.
