| 説明 | Al– Mas’abain Village, Aden GovernateAl Mas’bain village has a long history. It is believed that the village was established approximately 800 years ago. Mines were planted in 1994 (the last civil war). Before mines were planted its inhabitants lived a typical lifestyle. The community members were able to make use of their lands and travel from village to village in the area without any feelings of fear or insecurity. After the area became mined, the villagers’ lives changed dramatically. Local people started to move around with caution and with fear. They became reluctance to travel even within the village boundaries. The demining started in 2001 and 2002. After demining, local people started moving freely. The value of the land increased and many local community members were able to sell their lands for construction purposes for good prices. The revenues from the sales were used to improve the livelihood of the individuals in the community. Fortunately, there were no victims of mine explosions in the village. There were no accidents involving mines after the year 2000.The feeling of security was one of the most important benefits from demining. The demined area was used as an asphalted ring road connecting the village with neighboring urban center of Dar Sa’ad in Sheikh Othman District. The major beneficiary is Mr Ali Dirhim, who bought a big area in the village after it was demined. Mr Ali Dirhim established a residential housing complex in the purchased land. The remaining demined land is the property of local people in the village. Page 27Al Masharia, Al Dhale GovernateBefore planting of mines, the village was an ordinary rural area. Agriculture is the major activity of the local people in the village. Crops grown in the village are sorghum, millet, maize, pulses and qat. The area is very ancient and its history goes back more than 500 years. Mines were planted over a long period starting in 1972, and from 1974 till the mid eighties. The first mines were anti tank mines, later on the mines were anti individuals. After the planting of mines in the area, people’s lives changed completely. A feeling of insecurity was evident every-where. The fact that the area was a sensitive border area led to the intensive planting of mines. This complicated the situation even further. Local people became scared for their property, families and for their own lives. The total number of victims was more than 38 from mines. The number of animals killed because of mines exceeded 4 cows and tens of sheep and goats. Several households migrated from the village because of the security situation. Others were forced to sell their animals because of the dangers of mines and the scarce rangelands remaining in the area after planting of mines. Demining in the area started in 2002 till the end of 2004. Demining teams from “YEMAC’ were responsible for the whole process of demining. Local people appreciated the humanitarian role of “YEMAC” in clearing the area of mines and restoring peace in the village. Estimated financial returns on demining in Al– MashariaDetails– return from herding No. of households = 240 The village and the neighboring village herd daily with average return = 50 YR Return of herding from two villages = 2 x 50 x 365 days x 240 = 8,760,000 There are three villages herding at a rate of 4 times per month. The number is 240 households. Return from herding for three villages per year = 3 x 50 x 4x 12x 240 = 1,728,000 Net Income for five villages 10,368,000 Yemeni RiyalDetails- return from Qat cultivation No. of households benefiting from qat cultivation= 120 households Average annual return from qat cultivation = 300,000 YR. Total return for all households = 36,000,000 YR Total annual cost of production (irrigation + land preparation+ chemicals and fertilizers + without tax= 150,000 YR. Total costs of households per year = 150,000 x 120 = 18,000,000 YR. Net income for the 5 villages=18,000,000 YRDetails– Cereals cultivation Households cultivating cereals= 80 Average annual return from land = 15 Kadah Cost per kadah = 1800 YR. Total cost of cereals per year = 80 x 15 x 1800 = 2,160,000 Net Income for the 5 villages= 1,440,000 YR |
