Cambodia 25 years on: Leadership Without Regrets
 |
| Do you remember Cambodia's 1998 elections and the post-election violent crackdown? Yes, of course I do and for more reasons than most. Apart from the fact that I had worked to help make sure the elections took place, I also witnessed live-fire on protesters including two badly injured maybe dead monks by Wat Langka pagoda. |
It’s hard to believe but it is now 25 years since I landed
in Cambodia. I had left Rwanda and was
supposed to be on my way to Haiti. Fate
however intervened. I saw a job in the
Cambodia Daily one day, applied for it and started work the next day. I joined the work of Human Rights from the fields
of Human Resources and Development.
Sadly I have to say that 25 years on, the work of Human Rights Defenders in Cambodia is needed as much today as it was 25 years ago – more so in some areas, less so in some. Why is this?
