Landmines in Africa

This issue of the Journal will focus on landmines in Africa and organizations with mine action activities in those countries. Countries of particular interest are: Angola, Ethiopia, Somalia, Chad, Mozambique, and Eritrea. We would also welcome landmine-related articles about other countries in the region such as Rwanda, Burundi, and Namibia. The issue will cover all aspects of humanitarian mine action including clearance, survey, mine risk reduction, victim and survivor assistance, and refugee/IDP issues. Success stories and areas of socioeconomic recovery from mines are also sought. We are also seeking articles for our Special Feature: Research and Technology: The Road Ahead
