After border clashes with #Thailand, #Cambodia’s economic time bomb ticks louder
"hostilities began as a 5-day clash in July 2025 over longstanding territorial disputes along the poorly demarcated shared border🤔.. While the Cambodian #government’s portrayal of Thailand as the larger, bullying neighbour succeeded in rallying nationalist sentiment at home, tt #political dividend is already fading"

This week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme is #AsianMusic. Instead of any single song the theme reminded me of a documentary film that I saw on Finnish TV about a decade ago - and I found out that it's now freely available on on YouTube:

Don't Think I've Forgotten: Cambodia's Lost Rock & Roll (2014)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxD7fnNRppg

Although some parts of the story are very sad (as you might expect, if you know anything about Cambodian history), the film includes lots of wonderful music and amazing film clips from the 1960s and 1970s.
