Yemen says about to remove all landmines in Abyan
The Yemeni authorities said on Wednesday they have removed all landmines from the public offices and schools in Abyan in the south after the victory on Al-Qaeda last month.
After weeks of work, the authorities have removed 80% percent of landmines in Zinjibar, the capital, which were planted by Al-Qaeda militants during the occupation of key towns in Abyan, officials said.
“All public offices and schools are now free from landmines,” spokesman for the military committee, Saeed Ubaid, said.
The technical teams will continue their job during Ramadan to help the displaced families return to their homes, Ubaid added.
