O príncipe britânico Harry esteve hoje em um antigo campo de minas terrestres no Huambo, Angola, visitado há 22 anos pela mãe, princesa Diana, na etapa "mais significativa e comovente" da sua viagem de 10 dias pela África Austral.

O representante da família real britânica chegou a Angola ontem, no final, depois de ter estado na Cidade do Cabo, na África do Sul e no Botsuana. Hoje ele viajou para o Huambo, no planalto central de Angola, onde conheceu um campo de desminagem da organização britânica Halo Trust.
Esta não é a primeira vez que o príncipe Harry visita Angola.
Em 2013 ele esteve no país e se mostrou "irritado" com alguns países que falharam nas operações de desminagem na África e que foram promovidas pela sua mãe.
Harry, o quarto na linha de sucessão ao trono britânico, visitou em 2013 zonas minadas em Angola tendo-se deslocado ao Cuito Cuanavale, no sul do país, apontada como a região com o maior número de minas em todo o continente africano.
Esta etapa do seu percurso de dez dias pela África é, segundo um comunicado da casa real britânica, a mais "significativa e comovente" para o príncipe, cujo título oficial é Duque de Sussex.
Harry esteve no Huambo, uma zona antes ameaçada por minas terrestres, cuja campanha para limpeza a princesa Diana ajudou ao se deixar fotografar em 1997, atraindo atenção mundial para o problema.
Atualmente, alguns destes campos têm escolas, lojas e casas, resultado das operações de desminagem da Halo Trust e de outras organizações, financiadas parcialmente pelo Governo britânico.
Durante a visita, o príncipe Harry conheceu algumas das pessoas que estiveram com a sua mãe na ocasião, entre elas a atual governadora da província, Joana Lina, e fará um discurso.
Acompanhado por vários integrantes do executivo angolano, entre os quais as ministras de Estado, Carolina Cerqueira, e da Ação Social, Faustina Alves, Harry vai também visitar o Centro Ortopédico do Huambo, que vai passar a se chamar Princesa Diana. Depois desses compromisso ele segue para Luanda, capital de Angola.
No sábado, o príncipe Harry será recebido pelo Presidente angolano, João Lourenço, no palácio da Cidade Alta, e depois deverá visitar a maternidade do Hospital Lucrécia Paim para conhecer a campanha "Nascer Livre para Brilhar", que visa reduzir a transmissão do HIV de mãe para filhos.
A visita do Príncipe Harry a Angola acontece no quarto dia do itinerário de dez dias, que começou na segunda-feira na Cidade do Cabo, África do Sul, onde chegou acompanhado pela mulher, Meghan Markle, e pelo filho, Archie Harrison, e de onde seguiu na quarta-feira para o Botsuana, sozinho.
Depois de visitar Angola, Harry vai passar ainda três dias no Maláui, antes de regressar à África do Sul, onde, em conjunto com Meghan Markle, vai se encontrar com a antiga primeira dama Graça Machel, concluindo a visita com uma audiência com o presidente, Cyril Ramaphosa.
Segundo o Palácio de Buckingham, "o amor do Duque de Sussex pela África é bem conhecido; ele visitou o continente pela primeira vez aos 13 anos e, mais de duas décadas depois, as pessoas, cultura e vida selvagem das comunidades continuam a inspirá-lo e motivá-lo".
O desejo da princesa Diana de banir as minas foi cumprido no final de 1997, já depois da sua morte, com a assinatura da Convenção sobre a Proibição do Uso, Armazenamento, Produção e Transferência de Minas Antipessoais, conhecida como Convenção de Ottawa, de que são signatários 157 países, entre os quais Angola.
Estima-se que existam cerca de 60 mil angolanos que ficaram mutilados devido a explosões de minas de guerra, das quais cerca de 40% são mulheres.

The Duke joined @thehalotrust in their work to help clear the area to enable safe access for the local community. • “If an international ban on mines can be secured it means, looking far ahead, that the world may be a safer place for this generation's grandchildren.” – Princess Diana, 1997 Today in Angola The Duke of Sussex will retrace his mother’s steps to see the legacy of her work and how her connection with this community helped make the elimination of landmines a reality. In 1997 Diana Princess of Wales visited Huambo to bring global attention to the crisis of landmines and the people whose lives were being destroyed. Two decades later, the area has transformed from desolate and unhabitable to lively and vibrant, with colleges, schools and small businesses. The Duke is humbled to be visiting a place and a community that was so special to his mother, and to recognise her tireless mission as an advocate for all those she felt needed her voice the most, even if the issue was not universally popular. Princess Diana’s visit helped change the course of history, and directly led to the Convention against Anti-Personal Landmines, also known as the Ottawa Treaty. Today, with the support of @thehalotrust, Angola now has a stated aim under the Treaty to be clear of known mines by 2025. Despite great progress, 60 million people worldwide still live in fear of landmines every day.

No Instagram oficial do Duque de Sussex, uma foto da princesa Diana quando esteve nas minas em Angola também foi divulgada. Na legenda, a frase dita pela princesa, em 1997. "Se uma proibição internacional de minas pode ser garantida, significa, olhando para o futuro, que o mundo pode ser um lugar mais seguro para os netos desta geração".
