Mine-clearing in Sri Lanka | DW Documentary
After decades of civil war, over a million landmines remain in the ground in Sri Lanka. Women are on the frontline of the demining effort.
Fifteen years after Sri Lanka’s brutal civil war, its northern lands remain littered with deadly landmines. They are a haunting reminder of the conflict’s survivors, who lost everything. Despite this, women like Chandradevi and Sasireka, war widows and single mothers, are taking on the perilous task of demining — rebuilding their lives and their communities, one patch of land at a time. A report by DW’s Akanksha Saxena.

Video “Mine-clearing in Sri Lanka | DW Documentary” was uploaded on 11/25/2024 by DW Documentary Youtube channel.
Why is the international court of justice silent about the oppression of the tamils by the Sinhalese government ?
This is basically an effort to tarnish the reputation of Sri Lanka than a documentary about demining. Demining is largely completed in Sri Lanka & even UN has declared it. It looks like, DW is using demining process to insert hate & anger into communities for some hidden agenda. This article urges people not to forget & move on in their lives, but to dwell in the past & suffer.
With the new government coming to power with the blessing of the majority Tamils & Muslims with progressive agenda, some regional & world superpowers seem troubled. And straight away started their propaganda to bring Sri Lanka into chaos again.
DW now is more of a propaganda arm than news channel. This piece is a classic example of it.
I am Sri Lankan Sinhalese and there is nothing wrong with this video… It’s just one side of the ugly truth of this horrible war… one side, but still true.. this comment section just shows how much this government needs to do to educate, both the Sinhalese and the Tamils, if we are to have true reconciliation and a lasting peace…
Indian narration who trained the LTTE and funded them 😂😂😂
We know what is the propaganda behind this news … misleading information /// ,,,,,!,,
Some of the contents of this video is not acceptable !!!! Misleading and trying to raise violence feelings among Tamils living in north and east of the Island.
I hope the supervisor one day finds her brother
Totally Misleading Documentary…!!! Shame on you guys 😢
Very biased video
Hats off for the brave women…But this seems to be a onesided story…The reporter need to have proper understanding of basic journalism…
Report this misleading video .
I subscribed to DW when I saw the videos about living in Germany, but I never thought DW also will be like Channel C or Al Jazeera 😕
This is not mine clearing video . This is a racist and dangerous video . Please don't spread false about Sri Lanka . Regular Sri Lankans have peace with all religions and races. LTTE terrorists mindset is the dangerous threat to the peace. Poor Tamil people dont know they suffered long period because of LTTE terrorists
West want to still maintain the fire of civil war in srilanka…….
All know who were behind the srilankan civil war.. dw please help to remove the bombs in vietnam and help the 🇺🇸 to overcome american civilwar😅😅..make a report on such
Like a cinema or a drama😂😂…
Why many people say its misleading? Becasue it criticised the government?
Never trust what Indians or Indian journalist says about Sri Lanka. They always mislead everyone by saying false and fake information and news. Ramayan is a big example for it. Indians must look after and consider about their millions of beggars and poopers on roads. Really disgusted journalism…
Just as the Tamil population of Sri Lanka voted for a national government, DW sees it fit to release a misleading video on Sri Lanka.
The so called champions of Tamils (visa fraudsters and Tamil mafia in Canada,UK,USA & Europe) in the west have done nothing for the Tamil people of Sri Lanka.
This is misleading

shame on you DW
Because of the war , everybody suffered not only Tamil people Sinhalese parents lost their sons and daughters too. These types of documentaries are misleading. There are ethnic groups who are waiting to bring back ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka again but present government will not allow such people to achieve their bloody purposes. The government is focusing on building the lives of all the Sri Lankans live in Sri Lanka irrespective of the cast, religion or color by whatever means.
DW is a freaking job. I said that and I will say that again and again. No credibility whatsoever. Misleading. Dw should be responsible for their posts.
Dear viewers, Please report this video. This is a totally misleading and harassment documentary.
And USA allows and provide the same mines to Ukraine and noone says anything….
This seems really unsafe. The protective gear doesn’t look like it can do much if a mine explodes. In most areas, the Army bomb squad handles this kind of dangerous work, so it’s surprising to see civilians doing it here. Looks like a UN-funded program, but the women don’t even seem fully protected—get them proper equipment! Plus, they’re on a remote island—what happens if someone gets injured? There’s no way help can arrive quickly. DW, next time, maybe get a Sri Lankan journalist to cover this for better insight.
Totaly misleading this documentary 😢
And Indian to come and advise on srilanka about prosperity 😂😂😂 DW hire a random srilankan, at least you could have learned more in to the subject!!! Don’t ruin your reputation.
This journalist doesn't have adequate knowledge on sri lanka.shame.
Is USA war crimes against Vietnam got punish? Is USA war crimes against Japan got punish? Answer is no….Those countries forgot those memories and went forward…Now those countries are developed now….1989 In sri lanka 60000 young men killed by the goverment…90% of men are sinhalease….there was no punishment to anyone…Why not USA and EU countries questioned about those crimes…For current sri lanka All of us has to forget the past and move on…End of the progarme That Tamil mom said security forces vanish her son and daughter..In south due to suicide bombs whole families were wipe out..Those families move on but the have the same sorrow…This issue is not only for Tamils…People who use weapons die by the weapons….Remeber That….Other countries dont wont sinhalease and tamils to forget those crimes and move forward….Because then they cant interfer….This programe is for that
The irony is these mine clearing team remove the land mines their own brothers have planted ….
So much misleading remarks at the end. Despite the ethicity most of the rural areas in Sri Lanka , remains under developed . Even areas where sinhala majority are living also not developed as Colombo . Moreover North and Eastern province needs more focus and our new government will do it for sure. These Indina Journalist dont have any clear picture on our people matters .
As A Tamil Sri Lankan, we dont want any more segregation based on race,language or caste or culture . We need stability and peace. There is no difference between south or north, everyone is bankcrupt. Its is a war between corrupted people and non corrupted poor people.
We all Tamils, Sinhalese, Muslims are all in peace now. We dont need any more race based hate. This documentary is inciting violence . Please let us heal. These propaganda videos from corrupted journalists with hidden agenda wont help any Sri Lankan Tamils or Sinhalese or Muslims.
if you go to play cricket match, maybe you can have a 99.99% chance to come back to your home. But if you go to fight with against to army in any country. You have a 99.99% chance to can not come to your home again. Both LTTE families and Sir Lanka Army families Experian's are very similar. War is good for politicians to approach there hidden agendas. Not for any locals to can get any kind of good things to fighting each other. 😑💐
