Guy Willoughby, chief executive of HALO, said, "We are delighted that Prince Harry has come out to Angola to support us in getting mines out of the ground, for good. The commitment shown by Prince Harry plays an invaluable role in helping us to raise awareness of HALO's work and mission. Wars may be over but many people are still unable to resume their normal lives, facing the threat of death or injury by landmines every day. HALO is making excellent progress in Angola, with the province of Huambo now close to becoming mine free, but there are still many years of work to be done. With support from Prince Harry, Angola and the international community, HALO will continue to work towards a mine-free Angola for the benefit of the Angolan people. Since 1988 the HALO Trust has found and destroyed more than 1.4 million landmines and more than 11 million items of large calibre ordnance, including 195,000 cluster bombs, cleared 9800 minefields and made safe more than 433,000 acres of land. Angola's civil war, which broke out after it gained independence from Portugal in 1975 and finally ended in 2002, killed up to 1.5 million people. About 4 million people were internally displaced, more than half of them children.
