No time for Peace…

Is it the organisation? Is it the heat? Is it a lack of time? Is it fear? Is it authorities’ harassment? Or is it a lack of interest? International World Peace Day assembled barely 200 people at the Preah Ang Dong Kheo pagoda in front of the Royal Palace, listening to speeches by representatives of three religious communities. The loudspeaker had to be turned towards the river on police orders. It could have disturbed the King they said… And the planned march from Wat Phnom to the riverside had to be cancelled (because the US Ambassador was killed in Benghazi?).

Yeah… Peace brothers…
