For the 1st time since 1993 election, there's no boycott of the 1st session of NA and swearing in ceremony.
All ought to be congratulated for united in time of needs facing the agressive incursion from Thailand.
By the wa, seemed that SRP got some what they demanded from the ruling party.
Totally agreed that it's important for all Khmer to unite against Thailand's aggression. But very disappointed with the reactions of the Cambodian govt. against Thai aggression. Two and a half months later, three negotiations and more than two incursions (Ta Moan and Ta Krabey) later there is no sight that the invaded territories will be returned to Cambodia.
With lazy reactions from the Cambodian govt, I don't expect these territories to be returned to Cambodia, at all.
I hope that the govt. will agree to work with the oppositions, civil societies and all Khmer patriots to get all invaded territories returned to Cambodia. Currently, the govt. secretly negotiated with Thailand. We don't know what they agreed or not agree with Thailand. The negotiations must be transparent.
By the way, what do you mean by "SRP got what they demanded from the ruling party"? What did they SRP get? I didn't see they get anything at all.
