Without him, we might need to speak either Thai or Vietnamese language.
With Hun Sen, and millions of Youn living in Cambodia and now owning Angkor Wat and controlling CPP, we need to start speaking in Vietnamese language.
King Ang Duong was the one who wrote to Emperor Napoleon III to ask him to return Kampuchea Krom to Cambodia when France left Indochina, but at the time France left Indochina in the early 1950s, Napoleon III was already dead so France did not honor Napoleon III's promise and France gave Kampuchea Krom to Vietnam.
I just went to visit Cambodia three months ago. There are not that many Youn around in Phnom Penh. Everyone seem to not concern about what you had claimed. Everyone spoken Khmer. If you want to have Hun Sen & CPP leadership remove from powers Khmer must be able to express their true freedom in elections. Opposition must be able to have fulll access to media. Opposition candidates must show the people that they are honest, capable of winning, have solid backing. Khmer peoples only vote for those they believe are capable
of winning and can help improve their lives.
Opposition must be able to convince the business owners, military commanders, police, ordinary peoples that they are strong candidates. If you can't convince these peoples you will not able to unseat PM Hun Sen.
TAKE YOUR FLAMMING ABOUT YOUN TAKEN OVER CAMBODIA SOMEWHERE ELSE. Only work on uneducate and ignorant peoples. Khmers now a day are well informed and better educated. My country Cambodia will never become part of Youn or Siam as long as there are Khmer people left on this planet. My great grandchildren will still be resisted long after I'm gone.
Napoleon III had never agreed to return Kampuchea Krom to Cambodia as our King An Doung had asked. France only agreed to protect & colonized middle Kampuchea. During 87 years ruled in Indo-China the clever Youn had implanted many agents in the French Governor's Administration branch in Prey Nokor & Phnom Penh and Vientiane, Laos. Many Youn whores & upper class family married those perverted Frenchmen. European peoples only liked slutty, perverted, woman and
badboy men. While as Khmers & Laotian still hold on to our old traditional high class values. That was why Frenchmen tended to be oneside with Youn.
Another reasons are Youn were able to convince the French that Khmers are
ignoranted savagers, untrustworthy, weak, dirty,
and are unwilling to yield to the mighty white
man.
French also needed Youn emperor who was exiled to Europe to return to Vietnam to lead his peoples against Communist Viet Minh. This greed, shameless, manipulative, trickeries Youn's empreror asked that his condition to return to help the French fight against Viet Minh was that the French must give Kampuchea Krom to South Vietnam.
The main reasons that the French gave Kampuchea Krom Youn was because Youn peoples had already controlled most of Kampuchea Krom areas.

You are still blind and ignorant! Your message will not make any sense at all. Why did you write this? Again, you are still nonsense. Just open your eyes bigger and watch out carefully. Don't make it so easy. Just be more proactive. From what you said is making everyone think that life is too short. Don't make everyone think not to worry. Yes, we have to concern and watch out the enemies who try to find out how naive, gullible, ignorant, careless, and beyond.
We never think like you and what you said.
We Khmer stay alert and proactive. We never let the enemies from East and West to win over us Khmer people.
When you said, "Oh don't worry and everything is going to fine and nothing happens," you are the one who is stupid enough to let the enemies take the chance to destroy your lazy ass....Just think about it.
All Khmer people need to stay alert and watch out over Yuon/Vietnamese spies, secret agents and their dirty trick and their arrogant and hypocrite mindset. You should know that Hun Sen has been controlled by Yuon/Vietnamese bosses and his in-law bloods and other Yuon/Vietnamese CPP crooks out there. So, don't be so blind!
