DMG Story || Lives Darkened by the Legacy of Landmines
17 Mar 2026
In the aftermath of conflict, a silent killer remains buried beneath the soil. "Lives Darkened by the Legacy of Landmines" tells the harrowing true stories of survivors in Ponnagyun Township, Arakan (Rakhine) State, whose lives were changed forever by a single misstep.
Between 2019 and 2024, over 400 people in Arakan fell victim to landmines and explosive remnants of war. 70% of these survivors, like U Than Tun Hla, Ma Oo Nwe Soe, and U Chan Sein, have suffered life-altering injuries and the loss of limbs.
In this video, we explore:
The Personal Toll: How the loss of a limb impacts families, livelihoods, and the dreams of the younger generation.
The Silent Threat: Why areas like the Bawdaw mountain range remain dangerous years after the fighting has stopped.
The Health Crisis: The desperate struggle for medical care and pain relief in a region where humanitarian aid has been largely cut off.
As international aid remains restricted, these survivors are living "forgotten lives in the shadows." This video serves as a call for awareness and support for those struggling to rebuild their futures amidst the darkness.
