	THE CHALLENGE OF DE-MINING KARABAKH From BayBak.com...
		HALO Trust does not operate in Azerbaijan; mine clearance there is handled by the state-run Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action.
		HALO representatives put that fact down in part to the bitter ongoing dispute over the self-declared state’s status.
		Though HALO claims that Karabakh has the world’s highest incident of mines per capita (one per 13 residents, three times the number in Afghanistan), finding funding for mine clearance in the territory has been a challenge, according to Kumnova.

		HALO has 7,000 full time demining staff, we have cleared 3.6 million land mines and unexploded ordnance, and a further 3 million stockpiled larger calibre ordnance.
		HALO welcomes this as we have been banging on for 4-5 years that the LIS scoring system had badly skewed reality, and had resulted in millions and millions of donor dollars being wasted sorting out great swathes of land that were never mined.
		HALO is so convinced that some mines do not give a scent out for the dogs, that we will never ever drive on a "dog cleared road" without full anti-tank mine protection on our vehicles.
