Mine Action

Captain Tom Bahinda oversees the excavation of a Russian-made, FAM 250 air dropped munition in Pader District. The bomb is designed to destroy concrete bunkers, of which none exist in rural Pader. It was likely part of an out-of-date stockpile and therefore "gifted" to Uganda for use in the war against the LRA. Weapons "gifting" from more advanced states is a prominent dynamic in African conflict.
