TWO Mozambicans were injured when a truck hit a landmine in flood-stricken central Mozambique on the road between the port city of Beira and the inland town of Caia, a United Nations official said on Friday. UN media coordinator Frances Christie said that the accident, which occurred on March 15, involved a truck belonging to the UN-run Programme for Local Human Development. Christie said the truck hit the mine while it was traversing an alternative stretch of road after the main road became flooded. The alternative stretch was still in the process of being demined by Zimbabwe company Ronco. The Mozambican authorities have expressed fears that many landmines are being displaced by floods into areas that have already been demined. According to UN estimates, some two million landmines were planted during the country’s 16-year civil war and only about 30% having been removed since the war ended in late 1992. – AFP
