The Balkans deploys bees and drones in new efforts to ramp up mine clearing
Hundreds of thousands of mines planted during the Balkans war remain unexploded
3 April 2021 • 3:16pm
A team from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia have come up with a way of using drones to monitor the bees
Drones working alongside honey bees could be deployed to clear landmines and unexploded bombs in the Balkans.
Bees are known to be able to detect landmines after scientists discovered that they could sniff out explosives.
But sending people into mine packed areas to track the bees movements is understandably risky.
Researchers from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia are now flying drones to film the bees, uploading the footage to a computer and using machine learning to plot their movements.

Role Context
The Global Interagency Security Forum (GISF) is an independent platform for security focal points from Global humanitarian agencies operating overseas. GISF emerged in 2006 as an independent NGO network, facilitating collaboration and information exchange on humanitarian security-risk management at the strategic, systematic and policy level. Over the past 15 years, the Forum has established itself as a global reference point and centre of excellence for applied practice, collective knowledge and current challenges in humanitarian security-risk management.
Recognising that NGOs need to develop expertise in security-risk management in order to deliver aid effectively in unpredictable operating environments, GISF’s vision is to continue to grow as a global hub for humanitarian security risk management for NGOs and other stakeholders that impact on security risk management in the humanitarian space.

A man reacts as he reunites with his son in Katsina, Nigeria on December 18, 2020. Exhausted and dishevelled, several hundred Nigerian schoolboys seized in a mass abduction claimed by Boko Haram experienced their first full day of freedom on December 18, 2020 after a nearly week-long ordeal.

Two decades since the return to democracy, Nigeria must do more to uphold the rule of law
The recent release of scores of abducted school boys is doubtless a huge relief for Nigeria, where families often have to contend with bandits holding innocent civilians hostage for a ransom. The childrens’ return to freedom is but a temporary reprieve for the government of President Muhammadu Buhari, whose response to the decade-old Boko Haram jihadist insurgency has come under increasing scrutiny.
