Antipersonnel mine
How much wasted creativity there is in a war! How many brains work tirelessly to invent an instrument that is faster, more effective, more powerful! How different the world would be if only our imagination were used to create things that would make us happier!
-For war, nothing. Marta Gómez (2014)
It is installed by Armed groups and it produces survivors. The mine changes the territory, making it uninhabitable and impassable. Like this one, so many have waited buried since 1970, the approximate date they arrived in Colombia. The mine is the perfect soldier because it does not ask for permission, it does not ask for a license, it does not demand salary and it never sleeps.
Perfect soldier: Testimonials
Acids, ammonium nitrate, ACPM, aluminum, fragments of metal parts (shrapnel) and even feces. The mine may contain them all or perhaps only a couple, but we will not know until it explodes or until a humanitarian demining brigade manages to deactivate it; whichever comes first. Each component at a price that is too low, so low that 11,775 mines have been activated throughout the Colombian territory.
