Last remaining squatters in the Borei Keila slum again avoid eviction
16th of April 2012
Demotix
Police Officers and district officials failed to evict the final inhabitants living in the Borei Keila slum in Phnom Penh. Strong opposition from the tent dwellers on the derelict site has thwarted the final demolition of the buildings.
Description:
Yesterday Police Officers and district officials failed to evict the final inhabitants from the Borei Keila slum in Phnom Penh. Strong opposition from the 'tent dwellers' on the site has thwarted the final demolition of the derelict buildings,which lie on a prime location in the centre of Cambodia's capital city.
Chan, one of the last remaining inhabitants lives in her 'lean to' home on the outer perimiter fence of the development site. In the daytime she sorts rubbish to sell to the recycling sites around the city. Her transport cart provides the makeshift wall to support the flimsy roof of her home and provide shade from the cruel midday sun.
Chan's young daughter is 20-years-old. She is certainly HIV positive. In the cruel midday heat she creeps under a narrow gap in site's green metal barrier fence to tend to her newborn baby. She rests under the derilict 1970's housing block which was home, until recently, for hundreds of Cambodian families living in abject poverty. Sitting on an old blanket to isolate her from the detritus of the demolition site, she tenderly pushes her precious baby's hamock, slung under the crumbling concrete skin of the building. Her husband left her when her baby was born without support.
The multi million dollar Phan Imex construction company has been clearing the Borei Keila site over the last few years and re-developing it for luxury homes, shops and offices. As part of a government brokered deal the company was contracted to build housing complexes on half of the plot for the evicted residents of the slum.
According to a Borei Keila 'squatter' interviewed by the Phnom Penh Post today, Phan Imex have only completed "8 out of 10 of promised housing structures." Apparently that's why the remaining inhabitants in their temporary tents are resisting the final eviction push.

The pictures are heart breaking. A baby out in the hot and cold weather under the bridge. It is a suffering life.
Vietnamization in Cambodia is almost complete.
This Yuon's slave government has given in everything to Yuon demands.
When will this puppet governemnt get the Khmer soul Angkor Wat back?
Hun Shit,
Rescind all of your bilateral treaties with Vietnam and implement the 1991 Paris peace accord Mr. traitor Hun Shit.
Those buildings under the construction are very ugly, that do not show the historic architectures.
Stupid Vietcong buildings.
Khmer people please help fight back the CPP clans and Vietcong corrupted investors from very cheap Communist Vietnam.
Take down the Vietnamese dog Hun Sen who does not know what he has been thinking and in his mind. This stupid leader, Vietnamese dog, is still using the Vietnamese advisers to implement the stupid plans to destroy Cambodia and hurt Cambodian people.
Vietnam is the nation to be blamed in the world today. This cheap nation of Vietnam still helps stupid Vietnamese dog Hun Sen to destroy Cambodia country and Cambodian/Khmer people just like a second Killing Fields in the slow pace.
This is so sad and so tragedy. How can we reach them so we can help them?
5:33PM - your post is the only one that makes sense on this thread. Yes how can we help them?
