To clear the remaining minefields will require a combination of manual deminers and mechanical assets.
HALO estimates that to reach the same state as the North it will require 364 deminers and 4 mechanical assets deployed over 5-6 years (from a clearance plan written in 2008), with a concurrent, final phase of community survey to confirm all known threats have been removed. A capacity within the Mozambican armed forces has been developed to deal with any residual problem thereafter, likely to be limited to stray ammunition finds.
