I am not trying to blame anyone for anything here. It's merely my opinion. The world donated to Cambodia for its survival with a condition that they would reduce poverty. One of many programs was to change the way people work for their survival. In some other countries, it's called urbanization. It means that they want to change from planting to harvest for their individual families to working for companies in modern agricultural works or other industrialization revolution. As we have seen, this movement has very strong resistance from Cambodians, especially from those who are living in rural areas. Land dispute and other things are examples of the effects of that policies. People have different opinions. However, the condition from donors are still the same. Cambodia today is right in the middle to implement policies to fulfill that condition. > But for these two days I have read an article of The Phnom Penh Post, the > people in two province; Kompong Speu and Kandal start taking up violent > protestation against the eviction. For further please read this link: > People are protesting to keep what they have been doing all of their lives. The government and its policies along with condition of donors create this friction among people and governmental entities. This has nothing to do with what kind of government it is etc........ If Cambodian government is a communist bodies, then it should not be the problem. It's happening when it is. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org" group. This is an unmoderated forum.
