For 78 years, UN peacekeepers have been on the front lines of conflict, protecting civilians.
Today, many continue that legacy, risking their lives every day in the service of peace.
We honour their service and sacrifice.

Millions are returning home to Khartoum.
But damaged buildings & explosives make the returns unsafe.
Humanitarian teams are clearing homes, roads & schools to protect families.
Funding from the OCHA-managed Sudan Humanitarian Fund #SHF is helping make safer returns possible.
Thank you to all who joined NDM 29 in Geneva.
Convened by UNMAS & @theGICHD, this global gathering advanced collaboration under the theme “One Humanity.”

#MineAction#InvestInPeace
For years, landmines devastated communities without discrimination. Global action helped cut casualties by more than three quarters, but that progress is now at risk.
As these weapons re-emerge, civilians will once again pay the price, not just today but for generations. ICRC legal adviser Fahad Ahmed explains why landmines must remain in the past 👇🏽
On this International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action, the Humanitarian Coordinator in Sudan, Denise Brown, underscores that mine action is a humanitarian imperative to save lives, enable aid & support recovery.

Conflict across the #OPT, #Sudan, and #Syria has led to extensive explosive ordnance contamination.
On 1 April UNMAS will unveil an exhibition to highlight the universal and indiscriminate risks posed by explosive ordnance and children’s responses across these contexts
#IMAD2026
The acting head of the @UNPeacekeeping mission in Abyei, Major General Robert Yaw Affram, told UN News that the disputed region remains highly volatile, as UN forces operate in a political and security vacuum between Sudan and South Sudan.

Conflict in the OPT has left behind a lethal legacy of explosive ordnance, with thousands having to live alongside these threats.
In 2025 UNMAS assessed humanitarian sites, guided convoys and delivered critical risk education.
The mission continues in 2026.
As we begin the new year, we would like to extend a big thank-you to all of our staff, partners, shareholders and followers who have seen us through 2025. May 2026 be a prosperous year ahead. @Constellis
As we near 2026, The Development Initiative marks 20 years of clearing landmines/UXO, protecting communities, & supporting partners worldwide. From a small team to a trusted leader in mine action, TDI’s impact is built on expertise, teamwork, & commitment. https://t.co/Aseb8jumPw
The close of #ForwardNotFragmented is not an end. UNMAS continues working with partners to confront explosive threats, protect lives, and ensure communities can move forward safely and with dignity.
