US wants Cambodian debt repayment plan.

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.

That page is full of errors. I don't know why that map is labelled "Secret Bombing". Operation Menu was the "secret bombing" and only hit a limited number of areas near the Vietnam border.
The map actually shows all US bombing between 1965 and 1973, the vast majority under "Operation Freedom Deal." There was nothing secret about that.

Here's the original source for that map: http://gsp.yale.edu/case-studies/cambod ... d-genocide

I find it ironic that they/we are pressuring them to pay. But seriously, see all the foreign investment going up? All the real "dirty money" that they get could pay it off in a matter of days.

But really I don't care. I will only care if this effects visa's for american lol. Better get my wife immigrated so we can high tail it out.

How did they calculate the $500 - $200 = $300 million interest? Using what interest rate? Since the loan was contracted in the 1970s and not in the 1990s, how much of the $200 million dollars already consist of just interest? It looks like the principal from the 1970s could just be $50 millions or so. The practice of usury, i.e. "riba" is haraam, and forbidden by the laws of God. I do not see why the Cambodian government would pay usury to an embassy of detestable pagans?

"The practice of usury, i.e. "riba" is haraam, and forbidden by the laws of God."

Since when did "the laws of God" have anything to do with either Cambodia or the U.S.?

He should definitely go to another forum, if only I could think of an apt one...
