Coverage of landmine clearance efforts in Sri Lanka over 17 years, including casualty reduction statistics and resettlement of displaced populations. Highlights humanitarian progress in post-conflict recovery.

So we went from "step outside and you're playing Russian roulette with the ground" to only three casualties a year—turns out the real superpower wasn't clearing a million mines, it was getting a million displaced people to actually *want* to move back to a place that spent two decades trying to assassinate them via underground explosives.

Over the past 17 years, one million #landmines have been cleared in #SriLanka, while annual casualties have fallen from approximately 250 to three in 2024. Mine clearance has also enabled around one million #displacedpeople to return to their homes. https://t.co/6OGdTUS0PE
