Election Civil Disorder
The mood of exasperation seems to be growing after a number of people found their names missing from the electoral roll in Stung Meachey. Around an hour or so two military police vehicles were turned over and burnt. Furthermore, I've just a had a phonecall to say crowds are heading towards the riverside/ St 108. Independence Monument area has already been sealed off.

I am visiting my gf's family in the part of Stung Meachey called Russey Village. It has been quiet here all day.
That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart.

I've been here eleven years and I don't recall a mood of such palpable dissent and/or hatred of the CPP before. Nor do I recall police cars in Phnom Penh ever being overturned and set alight on election day.KL&fool wrote:You reckon you've been here a long while, KIR.

We could be in for an fascinating couple of days.

That looks like some angry citizens decided to fuck up a Gendarmerie pick-up, their HQ is near there. I live nearby and heard what sounded like some automatic-weapon fire earlier. We'll wait and see how things pan out.KL&fool wrote: Do you not think there is a lot of scaremongering going on right now?

Just had a phonecall from a K440 contact within government circles. Here's an update:
1) Street 108 will be a flashpoint as at present the CNRP supporters are heading over there en masse.
2) The result certainly in the city is pretty close and outside the city, the CNRP have made advances.
3) The Japanese Bridge is about to be closed.
4) Norodom is about to be closed.
5) ''Two or three dead, so far" and that appears to be in Stung Meachey.

Don't they have to be removed on election day?Username Taken wrote:.
Just noticed something strange.
For the past few weeks my street has been lined with CPP flags and banners. Now, they're all gone!
If anyone has first-hand infomation of violent civil disorder - post it up here and I'll get it onto a Google map. I'll watch cambodiamaps(at)gmail.com for contributions as well.
Need:
Location - street number and nearest cross street number
Time - date and time
Event details - No beer left in ming's corner shop and so expats rampage, etc, etc
For location. best is to go to Google maps, riht-click the spot, select "What's here", then copy/paste to here the UTM coords that pop up in the search box.
eg, Wat Phnom = 11.576066,104.923146
Aside - there's a rumour of 30,000 troops heading to the city - Twitter - RUMOUR.

Yeah, that's normal enough, as campaigning officially ended yesterday. You're not allowed to wear party hats/shirts etc to polling booths either.

It's just got a lot worse in Stung Meanchey where rioters have managed to set fire to another gendarmerie pick up that was full of ammunition.
