THE NECESSARY STEPS THAT THE CNRP, KHMER PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THE YOUTHS MUST BE PREPARED TO SAVE CAMBODIA AFTER THE NEXT ELECTION
After the July 2013 election, the CNRP had mounted many peaceful demonstrations demanding Hun Sen to honor Khmer people’s wills and step down, but this bastard Hun Sen simply ignored it.
However, had the CNRP used the demonstrators to occupy the public building such as the Ministry of Information to force Hun Sen to step down, the result would have been catastrophic for the CNRP and Khmer people. This monster Hun Sen would have killed Khmer people to make them retreat to a permanent submissive mode. Hun Sen would have accused those demonstrators as outlaws or terrorists who wanted to overthrow his “legal” government.
To me, the CNRP has made the right decision by not engaging it and SOME Khmer people must stop condemning the CNRP for failing to seize that opportunity. It would not have worked because Khmer people were NOT MENTALLY PREPARED to absorb and resist Hun Sen’s brutality.
Here are the events that are highly likely to happen after this next election:
After the CNRP won the next election, the CNRP will always be facing the same problem: HUN SEN WILL NOT RELINQUISH HIS POWER.
What measure should the CNRP take to make Hun Sen transfer the power?
After this next election, especially after the CNRP had officially won the election, but the CPP refused to transfer the power, Khmer people, especially the youths must make the peaceful demonstration again demanding Hun Sen to abide by the rule of laws.
The peaceful demonstration must continue every day until Hun Sen transfers his power or Hun Sen loses his patience and violently suppress the demonstrators. But this time, we must NOT run away, we must stand our ground and ready to sacrifice our lives to save Cambodia.
We cannot screw up this once in a lifetime opportunity: no sacrifice, no victory, no more Cambodia.
Only when the killings committed by Hun Sen reached a noticeable number – by the thousands - that the international community will intervene and summon the signatory countries of the 1991 Paris Peace Accord to convene and solve Cambodia problems once and for all.
The CNRP has 2 or 3 years from now to prepare for this eventual event. The CNRP needs to build up at least 100,000 people that are brave enough to stand their ground facing the “third hands” of Hun Sen’s force. WITHOUT OUR PEOPLE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE, HUN SEN AND THIS NEOCOLONIALIST VIETAM WILL NOT GO AWAY.
I’ve always supported the CNRP for its peaceful demonstration. But this time the CNRP has to raise their bars up to face the reality.
Finally, to win the election and TO HAVE THE POWER to lead the country, the CNRP must prepare for this inevitable showdown with the merchant of war Vietnam and its slave Hun Sen. We must have a nonstop demonstration with the demonstrators who are willing to die to force the international community, especially the signatory countries of the 1991 Paris Peace Accord, to assertively intervene to help Khmer people and save Cambodia.
Notice that since 1970, we have lost at least 3 millions people, and unfortunately we are still under this evil Vietnam’s control because we did not fight this evil Vietnam the right way.
Therefore, losing a few thousands people at this time to keep Cambodia alive forever is an ideal sacrifice.

P.S: Creating another party would only benefit Vietnam and its slave Hun sen.
The need for a strong solidarity among Khmer people is absolutely outweighing all the mistakes that the CNRP’s leaders had made.
It is imperative that Khmer people stay united with the CNRP for Cambodia’s survival.
