Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Way too many of them left.
Do Germans from "East Germany" still say they are East German?
A lot. And a lot of "everything was better when we still had a wall and lived in socialist wonderland".
Maybe they say it whilst in country but not whilst abroad?

HE and his team of propagandists are all over this, inviting Heidt to visit & asking why the US are insisting on Lon Nol loan repayments etc.

Indeed.
Prime Minister HE suggested yesterday that American Ambassador William A.Heidt head to Svay Rieng Province to inspect two US chemical bombs unearthed recently which have been left behind during the civil war.
He said that these two chemical bombs pose great danger in that should an accident happen, these bombs could explode spreading terror to surrounding citizens.
“Good sir (referring to the US Ambassador), you should visit Svay Rieng and see the “legacy” which America left behind in Cambodia... and not just demand for the remains of American soldiers and repayment of debt.
HE calls on America to take responsibility for the “legacy” it left behind in Cambodia during the 70’s.
“During those years, America has dropped nearly 300 tonnes of bombs on Cambodia but up to now almost 270 tonnes have yet to be unearthed.”
Difficult Disposal Work
Pertaining to the problem of chemical bombs, Secretary General of the Cambodian Mines Action Centre (CMAC) Heng Ratana expressed that the two chemical bombs were found in the Koki Commune, Romeas Hek District, Svay Rieng Province.
He also said that the due to the great danger posed by the chemical bombs, there has been great difficulty in removal works. The mines disposal working group will cooperate with the Chemical Works Department of the National Defense to find a solution to disposing the bombs as soon as possible.
“During the removal of the bombs, we will evacuate surrounding villagers to safer places until the bomb removal works have been completed” Heng Ratana said.
The bombs discovered belonged to the Chlorobenzalmalononitrile(CS) type of bombs which if exploded would cause a spread of chemical compounds into the air which when inhaled would cause serious side effects such as extreme discomfort to the body and miscarriages.

There were also shipments of North Korean and French arms during the war, as well as Swedish Carl Gustafs and German Armbrusts. Singapore also supplied weapons from their semi-state owned manufacturers.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Where do you think these "ordnance" as you like to put it, come from?

Clue. It's not Stark Industries.
As I like to put it? Get a dictionary and an education.
Definition of ordnance

1 a :military supplies including weapons, ammunition, combat vehicles, and maintenance tools and equipment
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ordnance

It's not ordinance.

You now admit multiple countries sold weapons to the KR, but when a UXO story pops up, you immediately label it as American-supplied. You have the mind of a child.
