Strategic road networks remained particularly dangerous, directly threatening food security and the country\u2019s stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <div class=\"video-wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"video-cover\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/fsd.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/South-sudan-EN.jpg');\">\n                <button class=\"play-button\" aria-label=\"Play video\"><\/button>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"video-player\">\n                <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Demining in South Sudan (2010)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0-uAEqv68lU?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; picture-in-picture; fullscreen\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Local teams clearing vital roads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2004, FSD entered into a partnership with the local NGO SIMAS and the World Food Programme (WFP) to recruit, train and supervise deminers in the south of the country. By 2005, 30 international experts and 250 local deminers had been deployed to secure key roads connecting the south to Juba, enabling WFP to deliver aid and support the return of refugees. In 2007, with FSD\u2019s support, SIMAS obtained UN accreditation and deployed its first demining team. FSD continued to provide technical, administrative and operational support to SIMAS until 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block card numbers-block deep-turquoise border-radius--20\">\n            <svg
