Over 1.5 million sq.m cleared of mines in Aden
Yemen
Aden - Arab Today
An area of 1.6 million square metres in Yemen has been cleared of mines in 2016, announced the National Mine Action Committee (NMAC).
''Nearly 102,000 mines and explosive remnants of war (ERW) were detected last year and 154 emergency missions were carried out in the regions of Aden, Lahaj and Abyan,'' the Yemeni News Agency quoted the Deputy Director of the NMAC, Abdul Qawai Abdullah, as having said.
The UNICEF-backed NMAC registered 566 mine victims in Aden. ''Work is underway to clear Aden of mines,'' he said.
Campaigns to improve awareness of the dangers of unexploded ordnance (UXO) targeted 2.1 million people, including school children, in 2016 within the liberated regions.
''We will launch our 2017 plan next week,'' said the Deputy Director of the NMAC, who added that 16 refresher courses were held for the mine-clearing teams.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
