  • 29 JANUARY 2013 - PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA:   People gather on the plaza in front of the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, to mourn for late Cambodian King Norodom Sihanouk. Sihanouk (31 October 1922 - 15 October 2012) was the King of Cambodia from 1941 to 1955 and again from 1993 to 2004. He was the effective ruler of Cambodia from 1953 to 1970. After his second abdication in 2004, he was given the honorific of "The King-Father of Cambodia." Sihanouk held so many positions since 1941 that the Guinness Book of World Records identifies him as the politician who has served the world's greatest variety of political offices. These included two terms as king, two as sovereign prince, one as president, two as prime minister, as well as numerous positions as leader of various governments-in-exile. He served as puppet head of state for the Khmer Rouge government in 1975-1976. Most of these positions were only honorific, including the last position as constitutional king of Cambodia. Sihanouk's actual period of effective rule over Cambodia was from 9 November 1953, when Cambodia gained its independence from France, until 18 March 1970, when General Lon Nol and the National Assembly deposed him. Upon his final abdication, the Cambodian throne council appointed Norodom Sihamoni, one of Sihanouk's sons, as the new king. Sihanouk died in Beijing, China, where he was receiving medical care, on Oct. 15, 2012. His cremation is scheduled to take place on Feb. 4, 2013. Over a million people are expected to attend the service.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 26 JUNE 2006 - SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA: DR. JEFFREY CONNELL, a US citizen, examines HOOT NAK, 19, in Connell's home / clinic at the Land Mine Museum in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Connell said he has worked as a volunteer doctor in disadvantaged communities in Poland, Belgium, France, Thailand and now Cambodia. Aki Ra was a child soldier drafted by first the Khmer Rouge and later the Vietnamese army. One of his responsibilities was to plant land mines for both sides. After peace came to Cambodia he started his own demining operation. He has been clearing landmines in Cambodia since 1990. Cambodians are still wrestling with the legacy of the war in Vietnam and subsequent civil wars. At one time it was the most heavily mined country in the world and a vast swath of Cambodia, along the Thai-Cambodian border, is still mined. In 2004, more than 800 people were killed by mines and unexploded ordinance still found in the countryside. In addition to the demining operation, Aki Ra has an orphanage for 20 kids maimed by mines.
