UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS) has sent a team of experts to look into Nigeria's Boko Haram landmines problem in Sambisa forest

Director of UNMAS Agnes Marcaillou confirmed in New York, on Tuesday, April 4, that the experts have arrived in Nigeria for the assessment of landmines in Sambisa

Marcaillou says the assessment is with a view to de-mining and clearing the area of landmines

After Nigeria’s army chief Tukur Buratai recently called for help, the United Nations has sent a team of bomb experts to assess the number of landmines Boko Haram terrorists have laid in the Sambisa Forest.

News Agency of Nigeria reports that Agnes Marcaillou, Director, UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS), said in New York that the team arrived the country on Tuesday, April 4.

According to her, the assessment is with a view to de-mining and clearing the area of landmines.

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, had on Sunday, April 2 called for deliberate efforts to remove mines from the Sambisa forest after the sack of the insurgents from the area.

Buratai said the effort required the assistance of the UN, Non-Governmental Organisations and development partners as the country could not do it alone.

Speaking on the UN response, Marcaillou said: “UNMAS has sent some people to Nigeria and they have arrived already today (Tuesday) to explore this matter further.

“I would say that the standard is that we need first and foremost, the involvement of the country in looking at the threat, it’s a partnership.

“The United Nations and UNMAS have no magic wand. We need to get an assessment of the problem together; UN brings the capacities of the UN and the government together.

“And then the Government of Nigeria will take the lead in mobilising the international community support.

“This is because everything that we will do together at one point or another in Nigeria will require funding to meet those needs.

Be positive and inspirational today

When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and arguments. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. --Thich Nhat Hahn
