The Cambodian community in Atlanta has struggled with high unemployment and low access to education and healthcare.
WASHINGTON —
Cambodian-Americans have expressed hopes that President-elect Donald
Trump can address their economic and social concerns and strengthen US
foreign policy towards Phnom Penh.
Prime Minister Hun Sen has voiced his approval at Trumps victory over
Democrat Hillary Clinton, along with a number of other authoritarian
world leaders, prompting analysts to worry that a Trump presidency could
reshape foreign policy to downplay human rights concerns.
Nem Chhoeung, president of the Khmer Town Association in Atlanta, GA,
said he was concerned, “especially for minority groups like ours.”
“We are concerned about more deportation of immigrants, because he seems to be tough on that,” he said.
New York: A report which has surfaced online
together with convincing imagery suggests that Donald Trump has been
shot dead in the USA where he was addressing a campaign rally. The
report is however a hoax.
According to our sources within the Republican Party in the USA, the report is malicious false, and is pure satire.
The report aims to inflame relations between Republicans and Muslims,
as Trump has repeatedly accussed Muslims of being terrorists.
No major news outlets are carrying the same story either.
The report below first appeared online, before going viral.
A chilling Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) report circulating in
the Kremlin today is that US presidential candidate Donald Trump has
been targeted for death by either an individual or group who are in
possession of a micro electromagnetic pulse (EMP) “device/weapon” that
over the past month has twice been detected being used in the United
States against him.
According to report,Presidential candidate Donald Trump has been shot
twice and has survived the gun shots as he is said to be currently
recovering well at Livingstone Medical Center.
”A 24-year-old Muslim man just came from nowhere and shouted ”its now
time for revenge” before he shot Donald Trump twice,resulting in him
falling to the ground.”, said an eye-witness.
”We told him to stop preaching hatred and he never listened,now he
has just tasted own medicine”,said Hillary Clinton during a BBC news
interview.
According to reports,the 24 year old Muslim man (name withheld) was
later shot and killed by Mr Trump’s bodyguards soon after he shot Mr
Trump.

Manila’s realignment would have negative consequences for US influence in the Asean region diplomatically and economically, analysts said. PHNOM PENH —
When Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte announced in China that “America has lost me,” he became the most recent leader within the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) to align with Beijing.
Duterte went one better in his speech on October 20 in China, proposing that an alliance between Manila, Beijing and Moscow could follow now that he had announced his “separation from the United States.”
Myanmar State Counselor and Foreign Minister Aung San Suu Kyi speaks
at a news conference at the Japan National Press Club in Tokyo, Nov. 4,
2016.
Myanmar’s de factor leader Aung San Suu Kyi said Friday that the government is exercising caution about whom to blame for deadly border guard attacks and subsequent violence in Rakhine state’s Maungdaw township, and pledged to conduct a thorough investigation in accordance with the law.
Security forces inundated Maungdaw after the Oct. 9 raids on three outposts near the Bangladesh border, in which nine officers died, to lock down the area and search for stolen weapons.
Local Rohingya Muslims have accused them of arbitrary arrests, extrajudicial killings, arson, and rape. Security forces also cut off access to aid workers and journalists. The government and military, however, have denied that soldiers committed the atrocities.

Union officials yesterday said they had satisfied the requirements of diplomatic officials for northern Rakhine State in the aftermath of the deadly armed attacks of 9 October.
Union Minister for Border Affairs Lt-Gen Ye Aung, Chief Minister of Rakhine State U Nyi Pu and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs U Kyaw Tin held discussions yesterday morning at the Rakhine State Guest House in Sittway with the UN resident coordinator/humanitarian assistance coordinator and ambassadors of foreign missions. After the meeting, the officials and diplomats visited Rakhine ethnic groups in Mawrawadi Village and Muslims residents of Zawmatat Village, where they were told that the village was peaceful, with no one involved in the recent attacks.
They also visited Alethankyaw, a village of over 11,000 inhabitants. Although the majority of the villagers are Muslims, there are a few Rakhine ethnics. Both groups live together peacefully, they said.
