That's what the plan was. Who now remembers Kem Sokha's calls to throw all the Yuon in the well and his claims that S21 (and therefore Democratic Kampuchea's excesses) were all a trick by the Vietnamese. Nobody, instead he is lauded in the international press as a hero with only human rights in mind.

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.

This is an excellent piece about the West jumping to support opposition figures while overlooking their flaws and not fully grasping the situation:Lucky Lucan wrote:That's what the plan was.

Did the World Get Aung San Suu Kyi Wrong?
In their zeal to find a simple solution to the complex problem of political change, they overlook their heroes’ flaws, fail to see the challenges they will face in power, and assume that countries are the products of their leaders, when it is almost always the other way around.

27 years house arrest. Only allowed to meet with his family.
That’s a tad miserable.

In a case that rights groups have called politically motivated, Cambodian opposition leader Kem Sokha received a 27-year sentence for treason on Friday.
"Kem Sokha... is sentenced to 27 years in prison on charge of collusion with foreigners committed in Cambodia and other places," Judge Koy Sao said at the court in Phnom Penh.
The court also stripped him of his right to vote and barred him from running for political office. Cambodia is set to hold elections in July.
After the verdict, Kem Sokha was taken to his home, where he will be placed under house arrest and only allowed to meet family members.
Kem Sokha was arrested in 2017 over accusations he conspired with the United States to overthrow Hun Sen, who has ruled Cambodia for nearly four decades. Kem Sokha, who headed the now-disbanded Cambodia National Rescue Party, had denied the charges. Washington called the allegations "fabricated conspiracy theories."
The US ambassador to Cambodia called the conviction a "miscarriage of justice."

Well done Cambodia. If it looks like a duck, quaks like a duck it usually is a duck. Good riddance of a traitor.
If he's a 'traitor' for talking with the USA, what does that make America?Guest wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 2:43 pmWell done Cambodia. If it looks like a duck, quaks like a duck it usually is a duck. Good riddance of a traitor.

Is he more humanitarian, or more the usual power seeking reptilian.
"I don't care what the people are thinking, i ain't drunk i'm just drinking"
I read that he has been credited with this quote:
"...the USA that has assisted me, they asked me to take the model from Serbia, where they can changed the dictator.
You know Milosevic had a huge numbers of tanks. But they changed things by using this strategy, and they take this experience for me to implement in Cambodia.
I do not do anything at my own will. Their experts, professors at universities in Washington, DC, Montreal, Canada, hired by the Americans in order to advise me on the strategy to change the dictator leader in Cambodia.”
I don't know if its true, but if true then good riddance to a traitor. He deserves 27 years, And much more.

Your post hasn't aged well, seeing as the PM has thrown out all the Vietnamese, anyway. ID cards: Tonle Sap etcLucky Lucan wrote: ↑Tue Sep 11, 2018 11:27 pmThat's what the plan was.
