Submitted on

Smara (occupied territories), April 23, 2014 (SPS) - A 29-year-old young Saharawi died in a landmine blast, which occurred in the suburbs of the occupied city of Smara, said a Saharawi media source from the city.


Ahmeitu Mahmud was pasturing a herd of camels in a region called Assakn, 30 km south-western of Smara, before being died.


Contaminated with an estimated 7 million mines, Western Sahara is divided by a 2.700 km-long military wall built by Morocco.


This wall annually leaves many casualties among the nomadic Saharawi families and their livestock. (SPS)
