John Pilger obituary
The Guardian / Anthony HaywardCampaigning journalist, film-maker, author and fervent critic of US and British foreign policyJohn Pilger, who has died of pulmonary fibrosis aged 84, was a journalist who never shirked from saying the unsayable. Across half a century, in newspapers and in his documentary films – many for ITV, but later also in the cinema – he became an ever stronger voice for those without a voice, and a thorn in the side of those in authority.He was a fervent critic of US and British foreign policy. In 2006, on a panel at Columbia University, New York, to discuss Breaking the Silence: War, Lies and Empire, Pilger asserted that “journalists in the so-called mainstream bear much of the responsibility” for the devastation and lives lost in Iraq, by not challenging and exposing “the lies of Bush and Blair”.77 days ago | ភាសារខ្មែរHow a sleepy town in Cambodia won a place on Unsesco’s culinary map

In the months before his death, LOLC Cambodia, one of Cambodia’s leading microfinance institutions, granted Laen a loan that tripled his debt with the company to more than $18,000, even though, according to Nga, the couple had already been encouraged by LOLC to borrow from other lenders to help repay previous outstanding microloans.148 days ago | ភាសារខ្មែរGlobal south leading efforts to improve air quality while major polluters lag
