Prince Harry goes through Minefeld in Africa – like Mother Diana

The British Prince Harry campaigned for the evacuation of landmines when a visit to Angola in South African. As the Halo Trust organization announced, the Duke of Sussex visited a remote there in the southeast of the country to put “a message that is life -saving for children”. He has simple important sentences such as “Stop, go back and let your parents know” in the state language Portuguese.

In Angola there is one of the largest mine fields in Africa. It is a legacy of the 27-year civil war, which ultimately led to the independence of the country of Portugal in 1975. Harry’s late mother Diana had already campaigned for the evacuation of landmines. During a visit to Angola in her death year 1997, she ran over a cleared minefield near the city of Huambo.

In memory of this visit to his mother, Harry attracted a visor and a bulletproof vest on Wednesday and ran over a discounted field before participating in a bombing exercise. “Children should never be afraid of playing outside or going to school,” said the 40-year-old, who is himself the father of two children. In Angola, however, land mines threatened human life three decades after the civil war.

Since 2008 at least 60,000 people have been killed or injured in the country, as Halo Trust announced. According to its own statements, the British organization has freed an area of the size of almost 7,000 soccer fields from Landminen since the beginning of its work in Angola in 1994.
