A demining team attends a ceremony at Phnom Penh International Airport prior to its departure for Sudan, where the 52-member unit will relieve another team that is set to return Tuesday. Pol Sareoun, commander in chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, said during the ceremony that in the past year, the returning team had cleared 44 antitank mines, 94 antipersonnel mines and 8,101 pieces of unexploded ordnance as part of the UN peacekeeping mission in the war-torn country.
