Ronin the rat sets new landmine-sniffing record
A landmine-detecting rat in Cambodia has set a new world record to become the first rodent to uncover more than 100 mines and other deadly war remnants.
Ronin, an African giant pouched rat, has uncovered 109 landmines and 15 items of unexploded ordnance since 2021, charity Apopo, which trains the animals, said in a statement.
@onlmaps You forgot at least 1:
#WesternSahara (#SADR) - #Morocco-occupied & annexed Western #Sahara, which is the longest, contiguous #landmine field in the world!
(No, the #Guerguerat #Checkpoint to #Mauritania doesn't count! #Sahawri citizens are being denied entry and Morocco illegally forces migrants to cross the minefield into the lethal desert!)
Poland and Baltics plan Ottawa Treaty exit, sparking fears for the landmine ban's future
Against the backdrop of Russia's three-year war in Ukraine, Poland and the Baltics are preparing to exit the Ottawa Treaty, the landmark agreement that saw 164 countries destroy their arsenals of landmines and ban future use.

NATO members #Poland, #Lithuania, #Latvia and #Estonia plan to withdraw from the Ottawa convention banning anti-personnel landmines due to the military threat from their neighbour Russia, the four countries said on Tuesday.
Quitting the 1997 treaty, which has been ratified or acceded to by more than 160 nations, will allow Poland and the three Baltic countries to start stockpiling and using landmines again.

For the record #Google Lens DOES NOT IDENTIFY this EXPLOSIVE device, which appears to be either a re-purposed #landmine or some sort of fragmentation bomb. Also results without explosive device prompt. Lastly using "Land Mine". #Censorship @palestine @israel #IDF #Genocide #Palestinians #Gaza #GoogleLens #MemoryHole
Ich bin ja ein friedliebender Mensch.
Aber der Begriff "GLS" läßt mich regelmäßig nach #Selbstschußanlage und #Landmine googeln.
So vong Lebenserfahrung her.
