The UN peace keepers/observers at the Rainsy march the other day were underwhelming and underarmed.

Actually, having Cambodia on the mind, when I first read your OP title, I thought it said "the Mall" and had a vision of Cambodian teens fighting it out at Aeon.General Mackevili wrote:You were probably probably thinking the same thing when you read this news: where the fuck is Mali?

Re: Cambodian UN Peacekeepers Run Over UXO In Mali
I found myself wondering too when seeing the thread's title. I think my understanding of geography is pretty good. I finally had to click on the link to see who's the author after seeing the previous post. He/she did a really good translation or written the article. In his/her shoes, I often find myself with challenges and confusing with the lingua.
