Nothing to do with us says Cambodian government spokesman. RFA reports on the brave life of one man who dared to try to make a difference. He was shot dead in the middle of the street in broad daylight by a gunnan who didn’t even bother to hide his face.

Happy New Year everyone. If you ever feel you need strength. Here’s some stories from an unexpected quarter - a nation at war- that might just help you find it. rfa.org/english/myan...
