One Year After Borei Keila Eviction, 'No Solution' (Cambodia news in Khmer)

It has been exactly one year since the residents of the impoverished Phnom Penh neighborhood of Borei Keila were forcibly evicted and relocated to desolate camps outside the capital. Evictees marked the day Thursday with blessings from Buddhist monks and hopes they will be compensated by the development company. Hundreds of families were evicted from the neighborhood to make way for a residential development project, and former residents say the company, Phanimex, failed to provide the housing it had promised in exchange for the land.
