#2 "We believe if this problem is not sorted out, the casualty rate is very highly likely to increase because there are many people looking for unexploded ordnance to be sold as scrap metal," he told AFP.

The problem will peak, and then begin a gradual decline in roughly 10 to 15 years. Have you considered the use of shorter, much lighter children trained to use grappling hooks on 15 meter ropes may help reduce the risk.
