THE SAM RAINSY PARTY IS THE ONLY HOPEWHEN HUN SEN CAPITALIZES ON KEM SOKHA’S DUPLICITY
The recent leak of a secret conversation/deal between Hun Sen and KemSokha has the effect of a bomb on Cambodia’s political landscape.
The recorded conversation took place on 25 July 2007, meaning justthree days after the creation of Kem Sokha’s Human Rights Party (HPR).In the conversation, Hun Sen and Kem Sokha precisely discussed thecircumstances surrounding the creation of the HPR, which was madepossible thanks to the support and assistance of Hun Sen’s CambodianPeople’s Party (CPP).
Hun Sen and Kem Sokha clearly showed their common goal: thedestruction of the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP), the main opposition partythat had unwaveringly been standing against the CPP. Hun Sen gave KemSokha advice and recommendations on how to achieve this goal or, atleast, how to disturb and weaken the SRP. Kem Sokha profusely thankedHun Sen for his support and welcomed Hun Sen’s advice andrecommendations as “instructions” from the CPP Prime Minister.
A few years after concluding his deal with Hun Sen, meaning now,everybody can see Kem Sokha’s duplicity when he pretends he wants toform an alliance with the SRP against the CPP. How can he form analliance with the SRP while the secret goal he shares with the CPP isto destroy the very same SRP?
Kem Sokha is not an honest man. He is not honest with the SRP andcannot be a loyal partner. But he is not honest even with his ownsupporters, those HRP members who wrongly believed that the HRP wasformed to oppose the CPP and who would have never imagined that KemSokha would make a secret deal with the CPP against the SRP in orderto serve his personal interest.
Kem Sokha’s duplicity does not allow the SRP to consider his HRP as apossible partner in any alliance. The HRP may perhaps form a shadyalliance with Funcinpec or the Norodom Ranariddh Party (NRP). Thesethree small parties with no principles have something in common: theyall compete to serve in, and under, a treasonous government led by HunSen’s CPP.
As Cambodia’s second largest political party, the SRP remains the onlycredible alternative to the autocratic Hun Sen regime. It has alwaysabided by its patriotic and democratic principles. It represents theonly hope for a democratic change. This is why it has always borne thebrunt of the CPP repression.
ust a few days before the leak of the secret deal between Hun Sen andKem Sokha, Sam Rainsy published a statement reinstating his stance,“A Peaceful Way To Put An End To The Despised Hun Sen Regime.”http://tinyurl.com/3zg6lex
Therefore, the SRP will continue to grow on Cambodia’s politicallandscape as the main popular force to combat the repressive andregressive CPP. It will continue to relentlessly and determinedlyfight for Cambodia’s national independence and territorial integrity,and for good governance and social justice.
