During a speech in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Commander General Sao Sokha said that in order to maintain social order, he studied Adolf Hitler and became inspired by the rise of Germany under his rule.
"Speaking frankly, I learned from Hitler," said Sokha, the head of Cambodia's paramilitary Royal Gendarmerie, according to Cambodia Daily. "Germany, after World War I, was not allowed by the international community to have more than 100,000 soldiers, but the Nazis and Hitler did whatever so they could wage World War II."
Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen marked 30 years in his role on Wednesday, and has long ruled with an iron fist, Time reports. Human Rights Watch says that his regime is rife with "extrajudicial killings, torture, arbitrary arrests, summary trials, censorship, bans on assembly and association, and a national network of spies and informers intended to frighten and intimidate the public into submission."
