Que sait-on vraiment du Cambodge d’aujourd’hui ? À quoi rêve sa jeunesse ? Comment la société, partagée entre les anciens bourreaux et les victimes des Khmers Rouges, a-t-elle évolué depuis ?

Latest for Mongabay looks at two new dams set to be built in #Cambodia's Cardamom Mountains. These dams look set to fragment one of the best rainforests in Cambodia, as well as impacting @WildlifeRescue's REDD+ project...

We do not agree with this kid, u don’t understand the term development 😂

Last week I visited #BoengTamok to check out the latest of what's going on. I was worried after my last visit -- with @OuchSony while we covered Cambodia's election for SCMP -- that they would begin filling sand near the homes of those who didnt accept compensation. Not yet... 1/

Une image troublante qui marque un tournant dans la vie politique du #Cambodge, c'est la 1ère fois que je vois quelqu'un que j'imagine être une fonctionnaire s'agenouiller devant un ministre dans le pure style de la royauté Thaï.

Do we need to do this our boss?😉🙏

📢Mortaza Behboudi, journaliste reconnu, est emprisonné par les talibans depuis deux mois à Kaboul. Il doit être libéré immédiatement. Le journalisme n'est pas un crime ! #FreeMortaza

Novelists and Theater writers should apprehend this absurd system by creating kafkaïen performances…

#CAMBODIA: After the forest clearance in Aug, the gov replanted trees in Phnom Tamao and half of them likely die. This story by @antonldelgado @SEA_GLOBE shows that it's not easy to get the forest back once it's gone. @Rainforest_RIN @pulitzercenter

No need of a tax issue or a publisher change anymore, this could happen in a snap of finger… But again ahead of the national elections. #cambodia #PressFreedom #SaveVOD

@MechDara1 @cambodiadaily @phnompenhpost @VOD_English @VODKhmer Yes it’s a lot and it’s understandable that you feel overwhelmed. I hope you’ll find a way to go on ❤️

[opccambodia @opccambodia]

1. The OPCC, along with other media and civil society groups, have issued a statement on the government's revocation of @VODKhmer & @VOD_English's media license. This is a dark and disturbing day for #Cambodia and for press freedoms.

#Cambodge: Hun Sen révoque la licence du site indépendant #VOD suite à la parution d’un article pointant une entorse procédurale commise par son fils, Hun Manet. C’est le dernier média indépendant d’ampleur qui informe les Cambodgiens. Après, quoi d’autre? https://t.co/EIFsHDBCFo

[Jacob in Cambodia 🇺🇸 🇰🇭 @jacobincambodia]

I am deeply concerned by the news of the recent suspension and license revocation of @VODKhmer and @VOD_English, a respected independent news outlet in Cambodia known for its unwavering commitment to reporting the truth. Despite facing numerous challenges, the dedicated team at VOD always strived to provide their audience with accurate and impartial information.

In a world where access to credible information is essential for informed decision-making and holding those in positions of power accountable, the suspension of VOD is a major blow not only to Cambodia but also to the global community of journalists and advocates for freedom of speech.

At a time when the world desperately needs a free and diverse press, the suspension of VOD serves as a poignant reminder of the difficulties journalists face in their pursuit of truth. I hope that this injustice will not go unnoticed and that VOD's efforts will inspire others to continue their support for freedom of speech and a free press.

I’ve seen this scene before at The Phnom Penh Post… Last assault on non politically-aligned with the party #media happening in #Cambodia.

[Phoung Vantha @VanthaPhoung]

There were tearful scenes at the VOD offices as the reality hit home for staff.

Media crowded the offices as one inconsolable woman was comforted.

Hun Sen said earlier that VOD staff would find jobs elsewhere.

@AMicronouvelles Le café fume, la rue s'ébroue, il est parti. Reste sa trace sur le dossier, là où il posait sa tête pour regarder par la fenêtre. Le matin, la mélancolie est plus effroyable car le monde est plus net. Et l'espoir en prime! Ce soleil qui fait croire aux recommencements.

[Aleksandra Mostovaja @Aleks_Mostovaja]

Mortaza Behboudi, a Franco-Afghan journalist, my husband, should be released immediately from prison in Afghanistan. He is missed by many, and his story will not be silenced.
We are very worried. It has been a month now, we are not hearing any news from him. #freemortaza
