COLOMBO, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- The United States has donated demining equipment for Sri Lanka's war-ravaged northern region, the island nation's government said in a statement on Thursday.
Lt. Dave Chesson from the U.S. Embassy in Colombo delivered the donated equipment to the Sri Lankan army to assist with the demining efforts in the former war-affected areas of the country.
Demining continues in the country's north as thousands of civilians who were displaced due to the 30-year conflict are looking at being re-settled back home.
