According to family members, the family had been on their way back to the city from the place where they keep their animals.<\/span><span id=\"ecxyui_3_16_0_1_1430500234435_70857\" class=\"\" lang=\"EN-US\"><br class=\"\" \/><br class=\"\" \/>During the armed conflict, Morocco used landmines to defend themselves against attacks from the Polisario Front (the movement of the liberation of Western Sahara), and landmines continue to contaminate both sides of the 2,700km wall which divides Western Sahara, presenting a grave danger, particularly for the local nomadic population. Each year, a number of (usually civilian) deaths are caused by these landmines in Western Sahara.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><span class=\"\" lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"ecxyui_3_16_0_1_1430500234435_70858\" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"\" lang=\"EN-US\">Despite the efforts of international organisations, and treaties signed in other countries, Morocco has so far not shown any interest in removing landmines in Western Sahara. Adala UK asks the Moroccan government to urgently support measures to remove landmines from the Occupied Territories, as these represent a constant threat to the lives of innocent civilians.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday 1st May, a Saharawi citizen, Amheiyiba Mohamed Saleh, tragically lost her life when the landrover in which she was travelling with her husband and two children hit a landmine.
