Mine Action

During the course of conflict in northern Uganda, the Lord’s Resistance Army constructed large base camps across the border in South Sudan. From these remote camps, mobile units of LRA fighters staged cross-border assaults on Ugandan communities. In a bid to impede LRA movement, UPDF forces laid mine belts along swaths of the northern border. Gaining access to these minefields requires hours of hiking into extremely rugged terrain.
