Cambodia gives Ukraine sniffer dogs to help in detecting mines

As the war in Ukraine approaches one year, the country is slowly, but surely recovering from the Russian invasion.

Case in point: They're already receiving sniffer dogs from Cambodia to help in demining their explosive ridden country.

Oum Phumro, deputy secretary general of the Cambodian Mine Action Center, said his country is giving Ukraine experienced sniffer dogs and training them on how to use them to detect mines.

“Our deminers have experience clearing mines for about 30 years and we have trained many countries,” he said. “Today we are proud that we are training Ukrainian deminers.”

According to Ukrainian deminer Stanislav Kulykiusky, his team was grateful for the training. He said that 64 deminers had been injured and 13 killed in the line of duty in Ukraine.

“It is a very difficult situation,” he said.

Cambodia and Ukraine have been listed among the nine countries with “massive” mine contamination. According to the report filed by Landmine Monitor in 2022, both countries have more than 100 square kilometers (38.6 square miles) of uncleared fields.

This isn't the country's first foray into minefields clearing. Several thousand Cambodia deminers have been sent in the past decade under U.N. auspices to work in Africa and the Middle East.

The Best Fish Feed in Nigeria for Catfish: Why Quality Matters

A few months ago, I visited a fish farm run by an ambitious aquapreneur who had high hopes for his homemade fish feed. His pond was large, his vision clear: this feed would cut costs, boost growth, and drive profitability. But within a week, disaster struck. Fish floated belly-up. Growth stalled. The numbers didn’t add up. The problem wasn’t the fish. It was the feed. The catfish were growing exactly as they were fed: poorly. Just as fish can’t flourish on empty calories, a farm can’t succeed on subpar feed. The right nutrition makes the difference between a thriving business and a sinking investment. In Nigeria’s competitive catfish farming industry, choosing the best feed isn’t just about cost, it’s about protein content, digestibility, floatability, and growth performance. The wrong feed leads to stunted growth, higher mortality, and lost profits. The right one maximizes yield, health, and market value. In this article, we’ll explore:...

How Much Does It Really Cost to Start a Catfish Farm in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt in 2025?

After the Nigerian government hinted at a possible ban on fish importation , my inbox began to fill with a familiar question from would-be fish farmers in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt: “Can I start a catfish farm now and do it for less?” It’s a timely concern. With import restrictions looming and demand for locally raised fish climbing, 2025 could be a turning point for Nigeria’s aquaculture industry. But while the opportunity is real, the path to profitability depends on where you set up, how lean your operations are, and whether you can balance cost-cutting with quality production. A Market on the Edge of Change Nigeria needs an estimated 3.2 million metric tonnes of fish annually. Yet local production meets barely 30% of that demand. The rest comes from imports mainly mackerel, sardines, and tilapia; worth over ₦500 billion annually. A potential import ban would create an immediate supply gap, and catfish is perfectly positioned to fill it. Already a staple in Nigerian homes and...
