CYPRUS-UN-UNFICYP-CONFLICT-DEMINING

Major General Chao Liu of China (R), Force Commander of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) and Colonel Angus Loudon, Chief of Staff of the UNFICYP, attend a mine clearance demonstration on April 23, 2014 in the UN-controlled buffer zone where demining operations are being conducted near the Cypriot village of Mammari. A 21-strong Cambodian demining unit brought to Cyprus from the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) is working on clearing an area where landmines have been displaced by flooding in the buffer zone between the Turkish-held north of the island and the Greek Cypriot south. The operation will run until the end of May 2014. AFP PHOTO / BARBARA LABORDE (Photo credit should read BARBARA LABORDE/AFP via Getty Images)
