On Obama’s Agenda?
Mrs. Michelle Obama, wife of the newly elected President of the U.S., Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Mr. William E. Todd, U.S. Ambassador to Cambodia, received a letter from the Borei Keila and the Boeung Kak Lake communities who were camping outside the U.S. embassy since yesterday. The communities hope that the November 18th visit of President Barack Obama during what will be a hectic ASEAN meeting, can be of any help in their 4-year-long struggle to preserve their property, their rights, their dignity and their freedom of expression.
