Scary Halloween without VOA

VOA is silent while misinformation and disinformation thrive. That’s as scary as it can get! But Congress can #savevoa, protect press freedom and empower democracy in the U.S. and abroad. Call your representatives today! #SaveVOA

VOA Khmer Deserves to Be Heard

In 2007, Kari Lake said Cambodia’s story mattered. Today, as USAGM CEO, she has helped silence VOA Khmer — one of the last independent news outlets there.

@DomWUK សង្ឃឹមថាបានជួបលោ���ទូតដេីម្បូីជជែកពីការយល់ឃេីញ​ និងបទពិសោធន៍អំពីការបោះបាយបិណ្ឌ។ 😃

Sophat Soeung, originally from Cambodia and raised in East Berlin, grew up listening to VOA. For the past 15 years, he has been a trusted voice at VOA Khmer, providing independent news to Cambodians who have limited access to information beyond state-controlled media.

Today, his voice, and VOA’s, are silenced.
Help #SaveVOA, contact your representatives.

This August will mark 70 years of VOA Khmer. But in March, the Service stopped its broadcast. The gutting of USAGM, which funds VOA, has brought many projects to a screeching halt. One freelance journalist is affected. Read this piece on @MekongReview

In truth, I did not wish to speak about this issue. However, remaining silent may lead the Thai leadership to remain unaware, and the international community to misunderstand the situation. The Cambodia–Thailand border conflict has shifted from a war using weapons to one involving slingshots loaded with ball bearings and metal pellets.

At first glance, this may seem like a trivial or even humorous matter. But upon deeper examination, it is a serious issue.

If we do not intervene, it will escalate from slingshots to the use of all kinds of weapons, ultimately destroying the ceasefire agreement painstakingly reached by the Cambodian and Thai leaderships, with active mediation by the Prime Minister of Malaysia and participation from China and the United States.

As for Cambodia, if such actions are taking place, I urge the Royal Government to issue immediate orders to military forces to halt their use.

I also hope the Thai leadership will issue similar orders to their military to cease the use of weapons, as reflected in the attached images.

@POTUS Please keep an eye on the Cambodian-Thai conflict.
Cambodia wants peace, not war.

Let’s hope and pray this turns out to be false. Thailand needs to respect the ceasefire!

[Vicheika Kann @vicheika11]

5 days of Cam-Thai conflict have shown me that d presence of #VOA is very important.
Cambodia has lost lots of accurate, trustworthy & on-time news 4 natl & intl.
Lots of Cambodians who were displaced fr d conflict areas did not get d assistance on time from intl NGOs like Thais.

[Neth Pheaktra @pheaktraneth]

These fresh acts of bloody aggression from Thai military have brought the temple to a state of grave danger and unprecedented destruction, with critical portions of the structure and its surrounding sacred landscape now severely damaged or destroyed. #UNESCO #Preahvihear

CAMBODIA/VIETNAM: On 16-17 July, Cambodia handed 45 citizens to border guards at Moc Bai. Described as ‘illegal residents’ by Cambodia, Vietnam media says most lured to Cambodia with job offers, forced to work online scams, subject to violence. https://t.co/DsAzAGkqzA

WaPo - In Cambodia, the Voice of America and Radio Free Asia are arguably the two most reliable news sources available to its citizens of an increasingly authoritarian nation. Kari Lake is now the face of a concentrated effort to pull the plug. … https://t.co/YGmMbs8JFH

[Education Above All Foundation @EAA_Foundation]

For many children and youth, the climate crisis begins not in the headlines but in the silence of an empty classroom." - George Tavola & Derek Langford, Education Above All Foundation.

Empty classrooms. Lost dreams. A generation falling behind. In the Asia-Pacific, climate change is not just an environmental crisis, it's an education emergency.

Quality education is climate action. Let’s invest in resilient schools, informed children and youth, and empowered futures.
