Hoshyar - One of the symbols of Kurdistan

[brendar]

Hoshyar is a courageous symbol of unbroken determination. In the 1980s during the Iran-Iraq conflict, Hoshyar Ali tragically lost both his legs. After his loss, the pragmatic and inspirational man, dedicated his life to eradicating land mines. He has removed and defused more than 1,386,000 land mines; cleared 540,000km2 and evacuated 160 dead bodies from mines fields on the Iraqi-Iranian border.
