Mozambique has declared itself mine-free, more than two decades after clearance work began. It's the first time that one of world's biggest mine-contaminated countries has achieved this status. Hundreds of people have been killed or injured as a result of mines deployed during Mozambique's struggle for independence in the 1970s, followed by a civil war. Our Southern African correspondent Karen Allen spoke to Alberto Augusto, director of Mozambique's national demining institute. (photo: Halo Trust worker Arcelia, Mozambique) (Credit: Halo Trust)
