IPSnews – PHNOM PENH, Feb 15 2018 (IPS) – Researchers recently evaluated 65 countries which represent 87 percent of internet users globally. Half of them experienced a decline of internet freedom. China, Syria and Ethiopia are the least free. Estonia, Iceland and Canada enjoy the most freedom online.

The most remarkable evolution comes from Southeast Asia. A few years ago, this was a promising region. The economy was growing, democracy was on the rise. Malaysia had free elections, Indonesia started an anti-corruption campaign and the social rights of Cambodian garment workers were improving.

Prayer 442

The prayer series

Jesus,

Do you think
if we have the right to Freedom of Association,
our volunteer activities will grow more,
and our youth will have many more things to live for and to love?

Our volunteering is weak now.
Volunteer groups are small.
They don’t work together like a large volunteer network.
And they are not solving important problems of our country.

Please bless us.
Let us know what we should do.

Amen.
