Villagers Return 24 Guns to the Police

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.

The homemade air rifles used for hunting birds are very ingenious and powerful. Using an airtank and a bicycle pump they fire a large steel ball bearing.

OK I will. They accompanied the Vietnamese who won the war, except for HE who won the peace.

Thanks Ta, i am sure you will :)

VN was not accompanying any Cambodians after early 1972. Even earlier, generally.
The KR beat the US backed government forces by themselves.
- albeit with Chinese help, and heaps of captured US equipment.- but not as much materiale, money, bombing support and tactical assistance that USA was providing the gov forces.

But yes. HE won everything, in the end.

Sorry for the incomplete post. My answer was a long one which laziness precludes rewriting. Why can't I just lose short quips?

Try to think of that lost post as a landmine and only I know where it goes.
