Cambodia is notorious for the Khmer Rouge and landmines. That was 40 years ago, though, and the nation has enjoyed relative peace since then. Even so, the news still frequently reports on hidden landmine explosions that leave people limbless. Last year, the former head of state of the Khmer Rouge appeared before the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) appealing his 2018 conviction for genocide, however, the court finally upheld his conviction and sentence of life in prison, closing the court case that began in 1997. Cambodia is a poor nation; corruption runs rampant and human trafficking and the sex industry thrive. One-third of Cambodians live on less than one dollar per day, yet it is still one of the region’s fastest-growing economies. Prime Minister Hun Sen has ruled the nation for 38 years, ruthlessly removing opposition, and again won this year’s elections. The small population of Christian Believers has also enjoyed relative peace, although mission work is scorned. Cambodia remains a non-militant Buddhist state.
