Fire in Limassol Mountains Forgotten? Residents Demand Answers

Several months have passed since the devastating fire in the mountainous areas of Limassol district. The first days were filled with fear, anger, loud statements, and promises. Then came silence.

For those who do not live in the affected villages, the tragedy seems to be in the past. But on the ground, everything is different: burnt houses still stand abandoned, people continue to live in uncertainty, and nature has not recovered.

Yes, in spring the ground turns green in places, wild flowers appear, and almond trees bloom. But the ecosystem has changed. Forests that grew for decades have been destroyed. Pines, olives, and shrubs are burnt. Insects, bees, and familiar scents have disappeared. The landscape remains black.

Meanwhile, a full report on what went wrong has never been issued. There has been no public inquiry, no clearly defined responsibility, and no clear recovery plan.
