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.

I don't know who would be in more danger, the person being shot at or the fool firing the weapon.

They make their own 'gunpowder' out here. No air. Apparently certain types of finely ground wood?

Yes, I know how to make gunpowder, that's why the use of wood surprised me.

The long guns in the lower part of the picture look like home-made air guns, the black botched looking one at the top is the only one I can see that uses standard ammunition.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
