VOICED : Miedo y esperanza en Colombia en zona con mas victimas de minas

The video discusses the hidden danger of landmines in Colombia, where 362 people have died since 1990. Following a peace agreement with FARC, a desmining project supported by the USA aims to clear mines, especially in areas with high victim numbers. The project involves significant investment and NGO participation, providing relief to local farmers. Mines, initially placed during conflicts, have primarily harmed civilians. Colombia, affected by a long-standing armed conflict, is the second most mine-affected country after Afghanistan. The goal is to declare the country mine-free by 2021, building peace on cleared lands.
