Villagers listen to a Mine Awareness Education session given by a Community Liaison Team from Mines Advisory Group (MAG) following a mine accident in the village. MAG had previously cleared the village of landmines up to a limit, but the government's "Village Reunification Program," a program that encourages people living in remote hamlets to move into larger villages so that the government can provide basic services such as education, health care, electricity and water to the population, has expanded the village, forcing people to settle on uncleared land that may be contaminated with landmines and UXO (unexploded ordinance)..Luxia, Angola. 28/10/2010.Photo © J.B.
