Lately, I read about an increasing number of Africans in Cambodia. I am not talking about African-Americans but pure Africans. The way they dress and their real skin color do make them stand out here in Cambodia. I am also wondering how so difficult a process an African has to go through and how much each, to spend travelling from the African country to a South-eastern country like Cambodia!! Is it easy? And, of course, I believe there are rich Africans in their countries.. but why are there many young African males comign to Cambodia? How about the old and the ladies? Quite suspicious, right.
I once came across several pieces of news that African tourists dealt in drugs and counterfeit dollar bills, which later received a boo from the Cambodian public. People started to feel appalled at the presence of more and more Africans.
We all want to know the stories behind. Later on, a royal relative came out to say in one newspaper that Cambodia shoule welcome Africans into Cambodia and their presence is a good sign of stronger diplomatic relations between Cambodia and African countries. He went on to say that while the King Papa (Sihanouk) was going abroad to call on every nation to support decolonization of Cambodia, it’s African Union that appeared and supported Cambodia.
I don’t feel bad or like discriminating against Africans… they are kind of cool to me… they like flocking with their own guys. Yeah, but a very good piece of news should be done in the future to shed light on their presence in Cambodia…
Pretty interesting. I'd never imagine Africans would migrate to Cambodia, at least not in mass-numbers..kind of weird. Why Cambodia; they have no historical relationship with your country, right?
Which nationalities are most common?
@Christin: we know that there aren't many rich Africans.. and now it seems a lot of them are coming here.. I dont knwo what for.. hope it's not drugs or fake dollars… pretty worrying too…I think African countries have the slightest historical relationship with Cambodia… when the former King of Cambodia did a campaign around the world, to free Cambodia off French in 1950s, the African countries said, yes to him.
Hmm, Ghana..is the only country I've heard of at the moment.. there are several more, I guess….Most are tourists here..
