CHILDREN HOLD UP MINE AWARENESS POSTERS IN HAMDAEET VILLAGE, SUDAN

Apologies for the low image quality, but we hope the subject makes up for it: MAG worked with Sudanese non-governmental organisation JASMAR in this conflict-affected border village, to educate vulnerable residents about the dangers posed by landmines and other explosive remnants of war in the area.

"Now I know what to do if I see mines, and what to say to children in case they find suspicious items," said Adam Yousif, a farmer in Hamdaeet. "Thanks for what you have said to us."

Legend has it that the village was named after a man called Hamid, who, when people called his name, always replied "Daeet", which means "Yes" in the local language.
