🇺🇳 Today is @UN Day.
In 1945, the UN Charter came into force, promising “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.”
UNMAS teams carry that promise in 19 countries & territories: clearing explosives, teaching safety, supporting survivors.

Landmines continue to kill and maim decades after war ends.
Since 2001, the UN Mine Action Strategy has supported clearance, education, and survivor assistance—making peace real long after conflict ends.

For 78 years, UN peacekeepers have been on the front lines of conflict, protecting civilians.
Today, many continue that legacy, risking their lives every day in the service of peace.
We honour their service and sacrifice.

Millions are returning home to Khartoum.
But damaged buildings & explosives make the returns unsafe.
Humanitarian teams are clearing homes, roads & schools to protect families.
Funding from the OCHA-managed Sudan Humanitarian Fund #SHF is helping make safer returns possible.

For years, landmines devastated communities without discrimination. Global action helped cut casualties by more than three quarters, but that progress is now at risk.
As these weapons re-emerge, civilians will once again pay the price, not just today but for generations. ICRC legal adviser Fahad Ahmed explains why landmines must remain in the past 👇🏽

The acting head of the @UNPeacekeeping mission in Abyei, Major General Robert Yaw Affram, told UN News that the disputed region remains highly volatile, as UN forces operate in a political and security vacuum between Sudan and South Sudan.

Conflict in the OPT has left behind a lethal legacy of explosive ordnance, with thousands having to live alongside these threats.
In 2025 UNMAS assessed humanitarian sites, guided convoys and delivered critical risk education.
The mission continues in 2026.

The close of #ForwardNotFragmented is not an end. UNMAS continues working with partners to confront explosive threats, protect lives, and ensure communities can move forward safely and with dignity.
