UK charity Halo Trust clears over 800,000 mines in Afghanistan, aided by Taliban insights.

The Halo Trust, a UK-based charity clearing landmines in Afghanistan since 1988, has destroyed over 800,000 mines. With security improving post-Taliban takeover, the charity has seen increased cooperation from former Taliban fighters, who provide insights into IED placements. Despite the repressive environment under Taliban rule, the Halo Trust operates in 25 Afghan provinces, aiding in mine clearance and safety improvements.
