	Guinea-Bissau, Landmine Monitor Report 2003
		As has been previously reported in Landmine Monitor, the landmine and unexploded ordnance (UXO) problem in Guinea-Bissau was primarily the result of the military conflict of the late 1990s; a significant number of mines are also attributed to foreign troops involved in the conflict.
		The report estimated that at that time there were 20,000 mines and additional UXO dispersed along the former front lines in Bissau, which was in a densely populated area of the capital where approximately 30 percent of the country’s population lives.
		The goal of the National Mine Action Plan is to eliminate the impact of landmines and UXO in Bissau by the end of 2004 and in the southern and eastern regions of the country by the beginning of 2005.
