Help is necessary and possible …
The humanitarian clearance of mines is an extremely difficult and complex but still manageable task. In the past few years MgM and other organizations have optimized old methods as well as developed new methods and technologies that make the solution to the mine problem achievable.
Organized action – as opposed to shoulder-shrugging resignation – is needed. Under the appropriate political, organizational and financial circumstances the problem can be very significantly reduced in a relatively short time.
Free of all political, religious, or dogmatic views, we at MgM view support for mine clearance as simply a fundamental necessity for all who respect the concept of basic human rights.
