نجح مشروع مسام لنزع الألغام في اليمن في نزع 3699 لغماً وذخيرة غير منفجرة وعبوة ناسفة منذ مطلع يونيو الجاري وحتى الـ20 منه. وبحسب ما أعلنته غرفة عمليات مشروع مسام اليوم (الأحد) فإنه جرى نزع 1243 لغماً وذخيرة غير منفجرة وعبوة ناسفة، منها 1182 ذخيرة غير منفجرة و57 لغماً مضاداً للدبابات، و4 ألغام مضادة للأفراد الأسبوع الماضي.
وأشار الفريق إلى أن نزع 3538 ذخيرة غير منفجرة و151 لغماً مضاداً للدبابات خلال أقل من شهر يعكس حجم التحدي الذي تواجهه الأراضي اليمنية من هذه المخلفات الخطيرة، مبيناً أنه خلال الفترة نفسها جرى تطهير 315710 أمتار مربعة من الأراضي اليمنية.
وتأتي هذه النجاحات الكبيرة التي يحققها المشروع في إطار الجهوده المتواصلة لتطهير الأراضي اليمنية من مخلفات الحرب والألغام التي تشكل خطراً على حياة المدنيين وتعيق عمليات التنمية والإعمار في مختلف المناطق اليمنية.
وكان مدير عام مشروع مسام أسامة بن يوسف القصيبي قد أعلن في وقت سابق اليوم ارتفاع حصيلة الألغام المنتزعة من اليمن إلى 501243 لغماً وذخيرة غير منفجرة وعبوة ناسفة، منذ انطلاقة المشروع نهاية يونيو 2018، وحتى الـ20 من يونيو الجاري.
وأشار إلى أن تلك الحصيلة تتوزع على 339485 ذخيرة غير منفجرة و8240 عبوة ناسفة، و146712 لغماً مضاداً للدبابات، و6802 لغم مضاد للأفراد، مبيناً أن فريق المشروع منذ انطلاقته تمكن من تطهير 67748706 أمتار مربعة من الأراضي اليمنية.
وقال القصيبي إن هذا العدد الضخم يمثل حصيلة عمل المشروع منذ انطلاقه منتصف 2018 وحتى أول أمس (الجمعة) 20 يونيو 2025، يشير إلى حجم الكارثة الإنسانية التي يعيشها أبناء الشعب اليمني نتيجة إصرار الحوثيين على إهلاك الحرث والنسل في كل شبر من أرض اليمن.
وأضاف القصيبي: ما حققه مشروع «مسام» وإن كان يمثل إنجازاً يُحسب للمشروع الذي تموله المملكة العربية السعودية بالكامل وفقاً للمعايير الدولية المتعلقة بالأعمال المتعلقة بنزع الألغام، إلا أنه يُعد مؤشراً يثير القلق من الخطر الذي يواجهه المواطن اليمني العادي خلال ممارسته حياته اليومية، والمتمثلة في رغبة حوثية عارمة في قتله بأي وسيلة وفي أي موقع.
وحول تقديرات عدد الألغام التي قام الحوثيون بزراعتها في اليمن، أوضح مدير عام مشروع «مسام» أن هذه مسألة بالغة الصعوبة، نظراً لأن عمليات زراعة الألغام من قبل هذه الجماعة لم تتوقف يوماً واحداً، بما في ذلك أوقات الهدنة وفترات وقف إطلاق النار المؤقتة.
في نجاح جديد يُضاف إلى الجهود الرائدة للمشاريع السعودية في اليمن..

The Masam project for mine clearance in Yemen has successfully removed 3,699 mines, unexploded ordnance, and explosive devices since the beginning of June until the 20th of this month. According to what was announced by the operations room of the Masam project today (Sunday), 1,243 mines, unexploded ordnance, and explosive devices were removed, including 1,182 unexploded ordnance, 57 anti-tank mines, and 4 anti-personnel mines last week.
The team indicated that the removal of 3,538 unexploded ordnance and 151 anti-tank mines in less than a month reflects the magnitude of the challenge faced by Yemeni lands from these dangerous remnants, noting that during the same period, 315,710 square meters of Yemeni land were cleared.
These significant successes achieved by the project come as part of the ongoing efforts to clear Yemeni lands from the remnants of war and mines that pose a threat to civilian lives and hinder development and reconstruction operations in various Yemeni regions.
The Director General of the Masam project, Osama bin Youssef Al-Qusaybi, had previously announced today that the total number of mines removed from Yemen has reached 501,243 mines, unexploded ordnance, and explosive devices since the project's launch at the end of June 2018, until the 20th of June this month.
He pointed out that this total is distributed among 339,485 unexploded ordnance, 8,240 explosive devices, 146,712 anti-tank mines, and 6,802 anti-personnel mines, indicating that the project team has managed to clear 67,748,706 square meters of Yemeni land since its inception.
Al-Qusaybi stated that this large number represents the outcome of the project's work since its launch in mid-2018 until the day before yesterday (Friday), June 20, 2025, indicating the scale of the humanitarian disaster faced by the Yemeni people due to the Houthis' insistence on destroying the land and its people in every inch of Yemen.
He added that what the Masam project has achieved, while representing an accomplishment attributed to the project fully funded by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in accordance with international standards related to mine clearance operations, is also an indicator that raises concern about the danger faced by the ordinary Yemeni citizen in their daily life, represented by an overwhelming Houthi desire to kill them by any means and in any location.
Regarding estimates of the number of mines that the Houthis have planted in Yemen, the Director General of the Masam project clarified that this is an extremely difficult issue, as the planting of mines by this group has not stopped for a single day, including during times of ceasefire and temporary truce periods.
