HALO - one of the favourite charities of Princess Diana - struck an agreement with the new Taliban authorities in September to have its more than 2,500 Afghan employees return to work. More than 30 years later, in the battles leading up to the Taliban's return to power, mines and improvised explosive devices were again laid and left behind - this time by both the Islamists and their now ousted adversaries. © Javed TANVEERĪ little girl takes the lead in a village class taught by a deminer on the risks posed by unexploded ordnance The country was so badly contaminated, however, that the clearance work never stopped - even after an international treaty banning the use of landmines was signed in 1997, with Afghanistan ratifying the convention in 2002. The HALO (Hazardous Area Life-Support Organization) Trust was founded in 1988 specifically to tackle ordnance left behind during the Soviet occupation of the country. More than two-thirds of the victims were children, many of whom spotted the deadly devices while playing and picked them up. "The rooms inside had mines and there were mines on the main street," Khan told AFP during a visit to Nad-e-Ali this month.Ībout 41,000 Afghan civilians have been killed or wounded by landmines and unexploded ordnance since 1988, according to the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS).

Some 41,000 Afghan civilians have been killed or wounded by landmines and unexploded ordnance since 1988 When its residents returned in September they found the village school riddled with gunfire, its roof blackened by smoke, and the children's swings reduced to just a metal frame. It was besieged for two months until the Islamists took control of the country in mid-August. The village of Nad-e-Ali in Helmand province became a front line in the final days of the war between the Taliban and Western-backed government forces in Kabul. © Javed TANVEERĭeminers risk their lives to find the deadly traps laid during the fighting in recent months But red signalled buried landmines and other ordnance - the explosive remnants of war that have killed or maimed tens of thousands of Afghans over the past four decades.
White, it turned out, meant it was safe for children to play. Weeks after the Taliban took over Afghanistan, families who fled the fighting in one southern village returned home to find something strange: the cricket ground had been circled in rocks painted red and white.
