Members
of four families from the area at the Lycee Francais Rene Descartes on
Wednesday petitioned the French embassy for compensation in their
eviction battle. Resident Kem Vichet said City Hall's compensation was
insufficient, which is why they had approached the ambassador. Kem
Vichet said the municipality had refused to negotiate further. "The
government always succeeds in evicting people. So now I must decide
whether to live as a human or an animal because there are many people
in my family, and I can't buy a house with the small sum on offer." The
government has offered up to US$10,000 per family plus a small plot of
land outside Phnom Penh.
