June 20, 20196 yr A farmer found more than 100 UXOs while driving a tractor to plough his rice field in Siem Reap province on Monday. Colonel Sun Eng, Svay Loeu district police chief, said 45-year-old farmer Ken Kay was driving a tractor to plough his rice field located in Khna Krao village in Kantuot commune when he found the 140 UXOs. “After Mr Kay found them, he contacted police officers and they told CMAC officials in Siem Reap to collect them,” Col Eng said, noting that CMAC officials have destroyed the UXOs. Col Eng noted that the UXOs were remnants from the civil war between government troops and the Khmer Rouge. “Please, we urge that people alert police officers or authorities when they find any UXOs or mines, and please do not touch them,” Col Eng said. Heng Ratana, director-general of Cambodian Mine Action Centre, could not be reached for comment yesterday. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50615776/farmer-finds-140-uxos-in-siem-reap/ ThaiVisa, c'est aussi en français ThaiVisa, it's also in French

June 22, 20196 yr It just goes to show how dangerous it can still be in Cambodia if you stray from established "safe" tourist areas, roads and paths. It is estimated there are still four to six million UXO (land mines) littering the countryside, especially in the border regions (ref: CMAC - Cambodia Mines Action Committee)
