Families are taking shelter in storm drains and drainage culverts that often carry mixed wastewater, huddling below the concrete as gunfire sounds in the distance. When I see scenes like this, it makes my blood boil. Iβm sure people in Thailand are doing the same thing right now. It shouldnβt come to this, yet it does.

Globally, 1 in 5 young women were married as children in 2024.

Stop being bullies. Last night, Thai nationals on the border blasted loudspeakers with ghostly howls, barking, and wailing into Cambodian villages. Families couldnβt sleep. Children cried. Older folks lay awake. Whatever message this was meant to send only showed cruelty and intimidation.

βThis feeling will probably stay with me forever because I keep picturing it over and over again. At night, I donβt want to shower. Sometimes Iβd rather not bathe, instead wait till morning so that my brother can accompany me. Only then will I dare to go.β

EU development banks that fund the Cambodian microfinance industry rely on gold-star certifications that can obscure borrower harm while enabling profits from so-called βethical financeβ. My investigation with @PSothyroth for @FTM_eu

This heartfelt feature by @PSothyroth and photos by @rounry is the second story to come out of our mentoring project with @HRDstories. I think we can both celebrate new developments while questioning how all people, even rural farmers & fishers, can benefit from them too.
β[The lake] is completely fenced off,β he said. βI donβt even know the ownerβs name! I only know that theyβre Chinese. Now they hire guards to secure it. They donβt let us in at all.β
As Cambodiaβs Techo International Airport rises, development blocks the fishing lakes that supported 400 families for decades. Without formal land titles, the community now faces forced eviction. Story by @PSothyroth

1/ Sad to confirm that I was denied re-entry to #Cambodia on Jan. 5 and, a month later, it's no clearer as to whether I can return, but it does seem to be retaliation for my journalistic work...

It's unfortunate that Cambodian government doesn't value journalists. Bong @geraldrflynn, who I've known for years, is a journalist who has reported on environmental issues that few others have. He's also mentored many young journalists, myself included.
