SURVEY INFORMATION
An MA organisation conducted a survey of a school which an NSAG had used as a prison. A number of accidents had been reported by the local community, who had been trying to rehabilitate the school to enable it to be reopened. When the survey team arrived at the school they were met by the school’s principal, who informed them that they had remained in the area throughout the conflict. They knew that the NSAG had used IEDs to help defend key locations from opposing forces of a state armed group. The NSAG even reported to the community prior to their withdrawal from the area that only if they were able to return could the school be cleared of IEDs. They stated that they had made it impossible for anyone else to remove the IEDs without being killed. The school’s principal reported that one of the teachers had observed a suspicious object in the entrance to the main school building. They had been taken to this point by local police who told them to go no further. The survey team use a UAV to remotely observe the suspect object.
