Afghanistan land mine issue

Land mines are one of the serious problems that affect many people especially for those who live near by the affected areas. In Afghanistan, land mine is a big problem on this country because of the uncontrolled explosive action of the land. This type of activities produces different kinds of disasters that threatened the life of the citizens, workers, and affects the economic progress of the country. Therefore, the devastating result of land mines made the Afghan government to join the global campaign to stop the activities of land mines that approved by their President and his committee. This law is strongly implemented by the government despite of the fact that they heard many negative assumptions from the people that are completely against their decision. The associated press reveals that “Some activist said, “It was not an easy move for the Karzai government because almost all Afghanistan’s neighbors have not accepted the pact” (6). These people are not ready to embrace the law because of some instances that it could affect their primary source of living.
Afghanistan government is one of examples of those countries that are trying to fight negative outcome of land mines. Unfortunately, some countries are not implementing this law because they believe that land mines contribute help to improve their economy. For example, in central Asia land mines is still on going activities that is highly supported by the government. People are fighting to stop this activity because it creates disaster to the people and the environment. Therefore, the campaign of banning land mines in Afghanistan is the right way to do in order to avoid serious circumstances that may affects the people and their economy.
