Prince Harry visited a remote village in Angola yesterday to support efforts against landmine dangers still affecting communities. The visit was part of his ongoing collaboration with The HALO Trust, a demining nonprofit he has supported since 2013. Harry joined children in mine safety drills and toured areas still contaminated by explosives. He highlighted the long-term risks these mines pose to health and local economies. His visit draws global attention to an issue that has faded from headlines.
Angola remains one of the world’s most mine-contaminated countries, decades after its civil war ended. Thousands of people are still at risk from unexploded ordnance scattered across rural areas. HALO Trust is ramping up clearance efforts with new funding and equipment. Prince Harry’s involvement brings renewed urgency to clearing old war zones. He urged international donors to invest in Angola’s recovery and the safety of its next generation.
