Cambodia seeking $400 million to complete demining

[geovalin]

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Cambodia needs more than $400 million in aid to remove by 2025 all of the land mines that are a legacy of years of civil war, the country's prime minister said Friday.

 

Prime Minister Hun Sen said in a statement marking his nation's Mine Awareness Day that the mines remain a threat and kill or maim nearly 100 people a year.

 

"These mines are not only inflicting tragedy on the lives of our people, but also holding them back from moving on with their lives and developing the country," he said.

Australia gives 600 million dollars a year to Indonesia. For what. A country that has a military force 4 times larger than Australia certainly don't need any aid. Here they could solve the problem in one year by diverting the money to where it can be used for a humane cause.

Hun Sen wants $400 million ? So he can add it to the $200 million in his bank account that he's already scammed from gullible foreign governments.
