A member of an ACT Alliance team searching for unexploded ordnance in Bor, South Sudan, raises his hand to signal he found something suspicious. The team is searching civilian areas around Bor, which has been the scene of heavy fighting between government troops and rebels since a dispute within the ruling party turned violent in December 2013 and quickly ripped the newly independent nation along ethnic and tribal lines. The explosive ordnance disposal team is part of the humanitarian mine action program of Dan Church Aid, a member of the ACT Alliance. The program also deploys mine risk education teams to help villagers identify and understand the dangers of unexploded ordnance and land mines from this most recent conflict as well ordnance left over from decades of civil war.
