May 15, 2007

Cambodia will soon send a new team to replace its demining staff members in Sudan in order to continue its peace-keeping mission there, the Television Kampuchea reported on Monday.

The government has studied the details of the project and the new team is now being trained by foreign experts, it said.

In 2006, Cambodia sent more than 100 demining soldiers to Sudan for humanitarian mission under the arrangement of the United Nations.

Cambodia has about four to six million mines and unexploded ordnances underground. In the past years, the kingdom has established some organizations and teams with professional demining skills to deal with the situation.
