Lao Villagers Refuse to Yield Land for SEZ, Now Contend With Access Road
At least 140 families from eight villages in the Khong district of southwestern Laos’ Champasak province are refusing to sell their land or relocate to make way for a special economic zone planned for their area.
Despite this, developers have begun the hasty construction of an access road that would bring construction traffic dangerously close to some of the villages.
