Bedouins shift from sheep herding to mine clearing in Egypt
Bedouin herders in Egypt’s western desert abandon sheep for dangerous work: clearing World War II mines planted by Italian German and British forces. Ten Bedouins have perished so far but many stay for pay and thrill. They operate from Berga near the Libyan border to El Alamein, under German Italian guidance with Egyptian army contracts. Expert E. L. Profiry, a former Italian captain, helps lead operations. Project may last up to 15 years.
