Re: Cambodia Will Provide Temporary Refuge for Afghan Refugees
Article didn’t say that Iron Man was going to feed, clothe, and house them. Just give them visas.
So he’s looking for 300 Afghanis who carry at least $2000 in cash each, plus whatever Jewelery reserves they are wearing to survive the process?
Or will they all stay at the Cham mosques and beg?
Sad situation.

Like many of the refugees from this region who fled to the West after failing to maintain control in their home country despite lavish outside support?Article didn’t say that Iron Man was going to feed, clothe, and house them. Just give them visas.

Re: Cambodia Will Provide Temporary Refuge for Afghan Refugees
You mean like some of those "Taiwanese" reffos who skipped out of China, stopped for a bit in Formosa, then packed up again and didn't stop running 'til they hit Texas?nemo wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:11 pmLike many of the refugees from this region who fled to the West after failing to maintain control in their home country despite lavish outside support?Article didn’t say that Iron Man was going to feed, clothe, and house them.

Re: Cambodia Will Provide Temporary Refuge for Afghan Refugees
The phrasing of this makes it sound like you believe refugees only have themselves to blame for their situation. But I’m sure you couldn’t possibly have meant that.
Re: Cambodia Will Provide Temporary Refuge for Afghan Refugees
I bet none will ever come here, and that's probably the governments target number too.
I can't see many Afghans that have got into Pakistan wanting to come here and try to then apply for asylum to another country. They will already be in a safe country - Cambodia. They are already in one right now - Pakistan; a shithole I grant you, but a safe shithole.
They are asylum shopping (who can blame them?) and if they come here they could get stuck here; talk about drawing the short straw in the asylum stakes.
The last time Cambodia took refugees they wanted AU$40million in Aid*.

“The Cambodian government has decided in principle (to accept temporary refugees) based on humanitarian factors only,” Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Koy Kuong told local media yesterday.
Gen Sopheak yesterday could not confirm when the 300 refugees would arrive in Cambodia as well as the length of their stay, saying Cambodia is still in talks with relevant parties.

Re: Cambodia Will Provide Temporary Refuge for Afghan Refugees
Yeah the Kh government took the low-ball $40 mill bribe from the Aussie raghead-hating advertising executive/immigration minister (now PM) because they knew less than 6 would come and no more than 1 would stay.
Geez you're a sour old Pops today, Doc
Anybody else would call that a good balance between Cambodia's highest Humanitarian Values and the national economic interest.
