July 18, 201610 yr Phak Seangly and Ananth Baliga Villagers in Mondulkiri province are protesting the construction of a Ministry of Mines vocational training centre on a piece of land they say is sacred with cultural significance to people across the province. About 50 villagers from four districts surrounding the Dos Kramom mountain near Sen Monorom town on Friday stopped heavy machinery from clearing the land to make way for the centre, which will offer mining industry training. Kreung Tola, a community representative, said villagers from ethnic minorities, including the Phnong, had built four shrines over 10 hectares on the mountain for their ancestral spirits. The area was also a popular tourist site, Tola added. read more http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/sacred-site-threatened-construction-mondulkiri ThaiVisa, c'est aussi en français ThaiVisa, it's also in French
