Landmine Crisis in north-east Nigeria (2020)


In northeast Nigeria, girls and boys are growing up in temporary camps built to house those who have been displaced by conflict. These girls and boys are at risk of encountering one of the many landmines and bombs that litter the ground in northeast Nigeria, laid by armed groups such as Boko Haram.

MAG is working with conflict-affected communities in Borno State to teach women, men, girls, and boys how to recognise and avoid explosives.
