Homeless
I feel like I'm always seeing pictures of Cambodians carrying all their belongings down the road. The other night on the news we saw some footage from a fire in Phnom Penh. At least 25 houses burnt down a few days ago so we saw many people carrying big bags and some furniture. Don't know where they were going? Then the weekend before the Dey Grahom slum was evicted forcefully (more over here). A few months ago we saw photos of people who live near the border in Preah Vihear all loaded up and leaving their homes. The latest on the border dispute is that there have been some more talks, you can read about it here. (For more on this dispute see Khmer/Thai relations on our main blog.)
