Princess Diana giving speech on landmines

The transcript discusses the dangers of mines, particularly in Angola, highlighting how they are designed to trap the unwary and the risks they pose to those involved in their removal. It reflects on the technical skills required for mine removal and the high costs associated with it, which can be up to 100 times the cost of purchasing a mine. The narrative also touches on the plight of refugees returning to their homeland, often unaware of the mine-infested conditions, leading to tragic consequences as they attempt to clear mines themselves. The overall focus is on the human and economic impact of mines in post-conflict regions.
