Four years later…

Finally, four years after the first eviction threats on Boeung Kak lake, some land titles are being issued. Now let us see if everyone still left there will get this piece of paper. And then let us see if everyone will be included in the on-site development on the promised 12,44 Ha. After that let us see what that on-site development will look like. And then, and then… let’s just keep an eye open.
