Lake Villagers Arm Themselves Against Evictions [-The start of Hun Xen's predicted "land revolution"?]

“I will sacrifice my life if authorities try to demolish our houses again.”
authorities had acted “crueler than the Pol Pot regime.”
Villagers at the Boeung Kak lake development who clashed with police over the weekend said Monday they will continue to protest the loss of their land at the lakeside development until they are granted titles at the contentious site.
The clashes erupted on Friday, when excavators, protected by riot police, began tearing down the homes of a handful of residents. At least one youth activist for the opposition Sam Rainsy Party was beaten by police in the ensuing scuffle, party officials said, as the machines tore down eight homes to make way for a commercial and residential development.
Residents said Monday they received no warnings of the eviction and that houses were destroyed with their possessions inside. Some residents said they are now preparing to defend the other homes in the village from a similar fate.
Phan Chheang Reth, 54, said villagers were gathering rocks, clubs and knives to defend their homes.
Two dozen families in the area say they were left out of a land deal pushed last month by Prime Minister Hun Sen, who had sought a resolution to the long standing dispute between villagers who refused to take buyouts or other deals from Shukaku, Inc., a development firm that hopes to build up 133-hectares of filled-in lake property.
Phnom Penh Governor Kep Chuktema could not be reached for comment Monday, but he told VOA Khmer last week that the city was not issuing land titles to some families on the lakeside. They would seek to compensate them instead, he said.
The deal, which will set aside plots of land for nearly 800 families, came amid warnings from the World Bank that it would freeze funding to Cambodia if the dispute was not resolved.
But Friday’s clashes underscored how that deal has failed at least some villagers.
Phan Chheang Reth said she was devising an alarm system, whereby she will bang on an iron pot to warn fellow villagers if police approach. “I will sacrifice my life if authorities try to demolish our houses again,” she said.
Chheng Lep, a 45-year-old resident of Village 22, said eight houses were destroyed Friday. She said authorities had acted “crueler than the Pol Pot regime.”

| Suong Sophorn after the cops' beating (Photo: The Phnom Penh Post) |
If somebody tries to help you such as Suong Sophorn and got beaten by the brainless police, you don't stand still and watch. You must do with whatever you can to stop these brainless police. When you fiercely fight back, these stupid police will think twice before they initiate violence against you next time. The same perception should apply to the expansionist YiekCongs too.
You got to believe these animals (police) are afraid of dying like you too.
Stop standing still, stop crying and stop begging people to help you. Everything has price, and it costs something to get it. The helper like our hero Suong Sophorn has only one life to live like you too. Don't let him die in vain. We need collective efforts to successfully defend our right.
Infrastructure and Education, Thaksin Advises

“We can suppose that in such a speech [Thaksin] is flattering us to gain a benefit from us.”
Thailand’s exiled former premier Thaksin Shinawatra said Monday he saw potential in Cambodia’s economic growth, which has buoyed in 2011 following recovery with garments and tourism.
Thaksin said in a lecture at the Asian Economic Forum, held at the Council of Ministers’ building, that Cambodia had shown strong growth compared to the region.
His talk at the forum was part of a nearly weeklong trip, which included a meetings with Prime Minister Hun Sen, economists and other economic officials on Saturday.
Thaksin, who was ousted from Thailand in a bloodless coup in 2006, recommended Cambodia bolster state spending on infrastructure and education, as well as modernizing its financial system.
The Asian Development Bank said last week Cambodia’s growth rate will likely reach 6.8 percent this year.
Chan Sophal, president of the Cambodian Economic Association, said Cambodia has potential for even more growth, perhaps 10 percent, but that the country needs to “work hard.”
“The leaders of the Kingdom of Cambodia will be encouraged by Thaksin’s speech,” he said.
However, Son Chhay, a lawmaker for the opposition Sam Rainsy Party, said Monday that Cambodia, which exports about $2 billion in goods abroad, only exports only $50 million in goods to Thailand, with which it has a large deficit.
“Be careful what Thai political veterans say about Cambodia’s economic situation,” he said. “We can suppose that in such a speech [Thaksin] is flattering us to gain a benefit from us.”
Kem Sokha, president of the Human Rights Party, said Thaksin may also be focused on developing petroleum resources on the coast. Thaksin’s speech was flattering of Cambodia, Kem Sokha said, “to provide opportunity for him.”
Building Boom Causes Asian Sand Smugglers to Expand

"I have seen houses perched along the bankside, just waiting to sink into the rivers."
Singapore's decades-long effort to reclaim land from the ocean has expanded the nation's coastline and fueled its building boom. But it has also depleted its supply of sand. In recent years, the massive sand shortage has been worsened by export bans by neighboring countries, driving up the price and encouraging the smuggling of useable land-fill.
It used to be that sand dredgers had only to travel to nearby Indonesia to get sand for use in Singapore construction projects. But the Indonesian government banned exports after activists and locals complained about disappearing islands and ruined riverbeds. Vietnam and Malaysia have enacted similar curbs on the practice. In Cambodia, officials have curtailed dredging and suspended sales as they assess the environmental damage caused by sand mining.
Environmentalists say this is forcing miners to search elsewhere in the region and driving the practice of sand smuggling in the Philippines, Bangladesh, and Burma.
George Boden is a campaigner for the London-based environmental group Global Witness, which reported on sand mining in Cambodia earlier this year.
“In fact some of the sand trade has also moved on from Cambodia, and Burma has now become a major source. And it’s our understanding - and for sand it’s quite possible - that Singapore is also looking beyond Cambodia for other countries in the region to fulfill its needs,” he said.
Singapore has expanded its physical borders by 22 percent over the past half century by filling in the surrounding sea with sand. Analysts say new reclamation projects will require enormous quantities of sea-sand. The tiny island-state also needs salt-free river sand for construction.
Gavin Greenwood is a security analyst for the Hong Kong-based firm Allan & Associates and has followed this issue for many years. He says that demand is proving lucrative for nearby countries.
“Freshwater sand is far superior for construction purposes than sea sand, simply because sea sand is, by its nature, with the salt in it ... highly corrosive. And to make it usable for construction you should have to wash it to get as much of the salt out as possible," he said. "Much of the reclamation in, shall we say, Singapore will be supporting large buildings with a huge amount of piling which is concrete, steel and so forth. So if you can get river sand or earth or crushed rock or a combination of all three, you’re saving yourself a great deal of money and future problems.”
Government bans in nearby countries have complicated life for Singapore builders. The government requires sand to be authorized with the correct paperwork, signifying it was legally obtained.
Companies such as Rangoon-based Bholat General Services and Philippine operator Mecca MFG tout themselves openly on the Internet, offering customers access to large quantities of sand that have been approved by the Singapore government.
Other companies offering sand from Burma include Bangkok International and Myanmar Asia Glory Trading. A spokesman for Asia Glory said river sand was being mined from the Salween and Irrawaddy rivers. The spokesman said while operations have been halted during the rainy season, sand mining and exports would resume in November.
A Mecca MFG spokesman said there are three large areas in the Philippines suitable for sand mining - primarily around Mount Pinatubo in Luzon, where clean river sand is available in abundance.
Similar offers for sand are made by Thai, Cambodian and Vietnamese companies.
Environmentalists say the practice causes widespread ecological damage to rivers, depletes fish stocks and substantially reduces the livelihoods of villagers who lead a subsistence lifestyle. The money involved also makes regulation difficult.
In Cambodia, some companies have flouted a government suspension of dredging. Activists claim that smuggling continues despite government bans in Indonesia, as well as in the east Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak on Borneo.
S.M. Murthu is a council member of the Malaysian Nature Society and an adviser to the Environmental Protection Association in Sabah. He says the smuggling of sand into Singapore is continuing from around Southeast Asia, where laws are not enforced due to corruption.
“Smuggling is with the knowledge of certain authorities because nowadays ... in Southeast Asia, everything has a price. It’s illegal, so there are certain people who are paid to keep their eyes shut. They solve the problem that way,” he noted.
A year ago, 34 Malaysian civil servants were arrested for accepting bribes and sexual favors in relation to illicit sand sales. At that time, former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad claimed up to 700 trucks a day were loaded with sand which was then smuggled across the border into Singapore.
Muthu says that brisk smuggling pace continues today. He says he has previously investigated complaints of illegal sand mining that resulted in villages being swept away, only to be told by Malaysian authorities this was not the case.
“I have seen houses already in the water. I have seen houses perched along the bankside, just waiting to sink into the rivers. It’s quite bad because these people do not care," Muthu said. "We have laws, but they are only on paper; in terms of practical enforcement it’s almost nil. They are all political statements at the end of the day. They just give into those who are looking for cheap sand.”
George Boden’s report for Global Witness prompted Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen to suspend dredging while his government assessed the ecological damage to the Tatai River. However, fishermen still complain that sand mining has not ceased. Boden wants international donors, who contribute heavily to the country’s annual budget, to pressure the Cambodian government to act against smugglers and illegal dredging.
“Certainly some dredging is still taking place and that really falls far short of the recommendations that we made in our report. Things we were really calling for is a proper regulatory environment, transparency over how the resources are allocated and the revenue that is collected," Boden stated. "And also proper environmental and social safeguards to ensure that the dredging is carried out in such a way that it is not massively damaging.”
Singapore’s land reclamation also has broader political ramifications because the trade in sand antagonizes relations between Singapore and its neighbors. Indonesia and Malaysia fear constant land reclamation means Singapore is now encroaching into their territorial waters.
Security analyst Greenwood is urging Singapore to protect its reputation in Southeast Asian as an environmental role model, by enacting stronger safeguards against the illegal mining.
“Singapore’s contention is that it’s legal from its end because it requires various certification and so forth from the various countries it buys from. The real problem is how valid would those certifications be in a broader legal context, and how damaging this whole thing is to Singapore from a diplomatic and reputational position and context," Greenwood said. "Singapore is very defensive and protective of its reputation as a serious country with rule of law and a strong environmental record.”
Singapore plans to add tens of square kilometers of additional land to its borders in the next 20 years. That growth will maintain a strong demand for sand imports and could threaten more areas of Southeast Asia where weak regulation and official corruption allow damaging mining to continue.

Some Somalis have fled to Ethiopia for fear their children may be forcibly conscripted by Islamist insurgents, a UN refugee official has told the BBC.
The UNHCR's Alison Oman said some mothers at refugee camps in Ethiopia told her they left Somalia as they had nothing left to buy-off the militants.
Al-Shabab controls most of south and central Somalia, including two large regions worst affected by the famine.
The group banned many aid agencies from its territory two years ago.
An estimated 12 million people in the Horn of Africa have been affected by the region's worst drought in 60 years.
Somalia has been worst hit, with tens of thousands of people fleeing to the capital, Mogadishu, controlled by the weak interim government, or to refugee camps in neighbouring Kenya and Ethiopia.
'Routes blocked'
Ms Osman, the UN refugee agency's senior nutritional specialist for the Horn of Africa, said Somali mothers she had interviewed in refugee camps in south-eastern Ethiopia had told her they left their villages often when their last animal died.
"The animals are their insurance. The animals are the bank accounts of these families," she said."A lot of these rural families have been forced to support al-Shabab militias that go through their areas, either giving them the animals or the sorghum they have.
"A couple of mothers said to me the fear was that if they didn't have the animals to give and grain to give, then al-Shabab might forcibly conscript children."
Last month, rights group Amnesty International accused al-Shabab of systemically recruiting children into its ranks.
It said the methods used by the Islamist group ranged from luring children with promises of mobile phones and money, to abductions and raids on schools.
Ms Oman said she had also heard about cases when families had been given small amounts of food for a child to be conscripted.
She added that the number of Somalis arriving in recent weeks in Ethiopia had fallen dramatically.
"A lot of traditional routes that people were using have been blocked by al-Shabab," she told the BBC.
This trapped people in the famine zones where many aid agencies are prevented from supplying the most needy."A lot of internally displaced people who are unable to cross into Ethiopia have said they don't have free passage and it's not safe for them so they're staying put or opting to cross into Kenya," she said.
Meanwhile, in the Ethiopian camps, officials began a mass measles vaccination campaign of children.
The outbreak in the region is proving more deadly because of the high number of weak and malnourished children.
Earlier, the UN special envoy for Somalia, Augustine Mahiga, told the UN Security Council that the UN-backed African Union force in Mogadishu desperately needed extra resources.
Al-Shabab announced it was withdrawing most of its forces from the city over the weekend.
"Without the immediate action to fill this gap, a real danger exists that the warlords and their militia groups will move forward to fill the vacuum created by al-Shabab's departure," AFP news agency quotes Mr Mahiga as saying.
Last year, the Security Council approved a 12,000-strong AU force for Somalia, although the AU said it needed 20,000 troops - and so far it has just 9,000 soldiers on the ground.
Somalia has been wracked by conflict for the last 20 years since the fall of Siad Barre's government.
