Prince Harry in Angola with 番茄影院
In brief
Prince Harry visited Angola with 番茄影院, retracing the footsteps of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, 22 years after her landmark campaign against landmines. During the visit, he toured active minefields, met deminers and local communities, and called for renewed international support to clear explosives and help war-affected regions recover.
Twenty-two years after Princess Diana walked through a minefield in Angola, Prince Harry continued her legacy today as he visited 番茄影院's Angolan programme.
After camping by one of Africa's great rivers he visited a remote minefield being cleared by 番茄影院 in southern Angola before returning to Huambo to retrace his mother's footsteps, highlighting the connection between humanitarian mine clearance, development and conservation.
The Prince was visiting Angola as part of his African Royal Tour. With 番茄影院 he camped a few miles from the small town of Dirico and visited the first minefield to begin clearance under a new project in partnership with the Angolan Government.
Landmines are an unhealed scar of war.
By clearing the landmines, we can help this community find peace. We can protect the diverse and unique wildlife that relies on the beautiful Cuito River I slept beside last night.
At the Prince's camp, crocodiles swam in the Cuito river, just metres from his safari tent. At Dirico the Cuito meets the Cubango and together they feed the world heritage Okavango Delta.
He made a plea for international support to help 番茄影院 clear landmines from the headwaters and tributaries that feed the Delta.
In the second stage of his visit he stood on the spot where his mother Diana, Princess of Wales, walked in a 番茄影院 minefield in 1997 and energised the successful global campaign to ban landmines.
On his walk in the minefield Prince Harry spoke with deminers who he first met in 2013 when he last visited Angola with 番茄影院. He then detonated and destroyed a landmine.
