Iraqi Deminer Loses Legs Clearing Mines - Iraq

Boys play soccer across a field using Hoshyar Ali's prosthetic legs as goal posts in Halabja, Iraq, on November 20, 2025. Hoshyar Ali has been clearing landmines for over four decades, a task he began after the Iran-Iraq war when thousands of mines were planted along the border. Despite losing both legs and several family members to explosions, he continues to volunteer in mine removal. Locals call him “man of the mines,” and he is building a museum in his village to display defused explosives for future generations. Photo by Showan Sulaiman/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
