    Thanks for making this truthful and daring documentary about political situation in Cambodia. Luckily I have visited this country for three weeks of March 2018 my trip was part of my south east Asia tour but when I was in Cambodia somethings make my eyebrows rise. I have heard that Cambodia is poor country but from they way from Phnom Penh airport to city I saw a big show room of Harley and Davidson bikes which we don't have in Pakistan even in better economic conditions later I saw so many luxury cars which I have only seen in gulf countries before. Everywhere I went from markets to villages, from towns to jungle area I saw ruling party's banner in blue With hun sen.there I became friend of a guy who was doing Master's in IR and grandson of ruling party's MP. He was the only one I talk who was a pro hun Sen. But even he told me that how his one son control intelligence, one daughter control internet and other control investment board. Than he was saying that he knows he is extremely authoritarian but he wants him into power because he want peace in country. When I travel I do socialise with local people as much as I can and this is the best way to know a country. Cambodia was they only country where everyone ask me which country I'm from? What kind of govt or ruling system we have got? Do we have presidential or parliamentary system? And when they know that in Pakistan we are also going to have elections in July they ask are they free or not ? I always said free (although 2018 Pakistan election were massively rigged were first time army come into every polling station and throw out polling agents of political parties once counting have started)..i didn't know about role of Australia but people told me that hun sen can't travel to America and he and several party members got their assets freeze. People were very much looking forward for elections and enthusiastic although they new that they are going to be rigged. In Malaysia where elections were next month I didn't find people talking much about it.

      Since Hun Sen's daughter has the Internet in her hands, she is likely making money from sadistic channel videos torturing baby macaques to death. YT is full of such movies and they are not removed from yt despite numerous reports.

      i spent 42 minutes of my lunch to see if this documentary made a single mention how the khmer rouge came to power. no dice.
      cambodia was neutral during the vietnam war and was illegally invaded by america to buy more time for south vietnamese. the inexplicable unjust mass bombings toppled the monarchy (the king later joined the rebels to fight the invaders) and gave rise to pol pot's khmer rouge which hun sen is a part of.

      I was raised in Cambodia basically from the age of 7. When I returned to New Zealand, I was surprised that there wasn't ANY propaganda for any leaders like Jacinda or Judith. I saw the blue banner so many times it is ingrained in my head. It was strange to not see banners everywhere but honestly Cambodia isn't that bad if you ignore the massive slums.

    I lived and worked in Cambodia from 1998 to 2017 as an engineer with a Brit development org. Im married to a lovely Cambodian lady who suffered under Pol Pot.
    Prior to Cambodia I worked in 6 African countries (Nigeria, Zambia, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya & Lesotho) from 1969 to 1996. What I can say is that with all its problems Cambodia has and is developing better than any of the African countries I worked in.

    We, Indonesians, removed our authoritarian corrupt leader in 1998. Sadly, it was not without fights, riots and piles of corps. Also, like cancer, the regime supporters are still alive well, ready to sabotage progress toward a more democratic, clean and efficient government and to take over the country whenever they have opportunities. They have a powerful tool that they can and have used: religious sentiments. The battle is never ending.

    I lived and worked in Cambodia for 12 years, and my wife is Khmer. Despite largely good intentions, I think the West made a mistake trying to impose democracy on a country that had no real tradition of democracy. I am loath to say it, but Cambodia may actually work better as a one-party state, and a one-party state is essentially what the majority of the country voted for at the last election. Khem Sokha might well have made a more benign and progressive leader than Hun Sen, but that ship has sailed and Cambodia is doomed to walk the path it has chosen. I love the country and its people, and I truly hope the future treats Cambodia kindly.

    • @TheTranceCartel
      @TheTranceCartel 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cambodia honestly has more freedom than most countries in the region. As you know, you can't even use certain websites like the Economist in Thailand since they criticise the monarchy, or TH-cam's international version in Malaysia since it talks about their politics in 'illegal' ways. I think anyone who says that Hun Sen is doing a bad job has never been to the country, especially comparing it between 2010 (prostitution everywhere, drugs, crime, child exploitation) to now (modest standard of living in most of the country west of the Mekong, no more gangs in the streets, people have money to buy things like coffee on Mao Tse Tung blvd etc.)

About a man who was killed sitting at a coffee table, after criticizing his government. About an opposition leader jailed without due process, about a leader making death threats to his own subjects bcos they do not support him. about a man jailed without charge because of a Facebook post. It should be about peasants being forcibly removed from their land bcos rich people wants the land.... like i said it should be about the human rights abuse the Cambodians face from their own governments; not what you remember about Australians, they are not the ones suffering

    Armed Rebellion is the key. When the Lon Nol regime came to power Khmers were against the regime. What happened next was history. The Khmer Rouge rebellion began and the Killing Fields was formed. To end this oppression of the Khmer people they need to start a new rebellion. I am not condoning the Khmer Rouge style as we would not want people like that to return to power in Cambodia. But armed rebellion is the only way to stop people like Hun Sen, his family and his cronies. Hun Sen arrests and assassinates those against him. So it is time to give them a taste of their own medicine. The Khmer people should not be afraid just as the Khmer Rouge rebels were not afraid to die for their cause. As Hun Sen arrests and assassinates his opponents so then the Khmers should start the same for his cronies. the leaders, the politicians, the Generals and Hun Sen himself. Do not harm the regular police and army, they are just regular people following orders, it is those giving the orders that need punished. In the 1970s Prince Sihanouk told the people to go to the mountains and forest and join the rebels and they did and in 5 years they overthrew the Lon Nol regime. The Khmer people can do this again to the Hun Sen regime.

    I hope that this is a lesson to the civilised world that you cannot force democracy. The thing about democracy is that it's a very strange system of government because it can be extremely fragile but it can also be extremely resilient - the difference between these extremes is the level of civic education (not just education but civic education) amongst voters. Cambodia is a country where the people were always led by someone, whether it was by a King or by the French imperialists or by the Khmer Rouge - they don't have in their minds that being a citizen means being an equal-part shareholder of the whole country, they don't have in their minds that being a citizen means being an owner of the country and they don't have in their minds that government is simply a management team that you the shareholder of the country hire to administrate the country. To people who don't have this concept in their mind, a government is "absolute", a government "rules" and the people "obey". This is a concept that you must first get rid of before you can estabish a solid democracy. It's not easy to establish this, it's not easy to drill into people's minds a sense of ownership - the the country, the lands, and all the riches of that land belongs to the citizen and not the government. Until a society can understand this and until this concept can be embedded into every citizen, democracy will be fragile and democracy would likely fail.
