“Explosive ordnance disposal is a critical task, since it directly impacts the safety of Liberians across the country. The Government is both obliged and prepared to protect ordinary people from this scourge,” said the Officer-in-Charge of UNMIL Mr. Waldemar Vrey during the handover ceremony at the Ministry of Defense. “In recent years, 60-70 devices have been destroyed annually and it is likely that the discovery of explosive remnants of war will continue at this rate for the foreseeable future.”
