“He [Hun Sen] started this dialogue a few years ago but
he just didn't believe in it. It's not his style. Monologue is his style. And
it was Sihanouk’s style, and Jayavarman VII’s style. Those guys don’t do dialogue.”

«សម័យនេះគេសប្បាយណាស់។
កាលពីសម័យខ្ញុំ ទើបវាពិបាក អាយុ ៨ឆ្នាំ សង្គ្រាមកើតឡើង
ត្រូវបង្ខំចិត្តធ្វើទាហាន របួស ៥ដង ខូចភ្នែកម្តង។
ត្រង់ហ្នឹងហើយដែលខ្ញុំមិនបណ្តោយឲ្យជនណាក៏ដោយ
ទោះបីអាសិរពិសប៉ុនណាក៏ដោយ បំផ្លាញនូវសន្តិភាពដែលយើងរកបានទាំងលំបាក។
អត់អនុញ្ញាតទេ។ តម្លៃណាក៏ដោយដែលត្រូវបង់
គឺបង់ថ្លៃដើម្បីការពារសន្តិភាព បង់ថ្លៃដើម្បីការអភិវឌ្ឍ
បង់ថ្លៃដើម្បីការរីកចម្រើននៃប្រជាពលរដ្ឋកម្ពុជា គ្រប់ៗរូប»។

“Just use violence, get people scared, and that’s what
Hun Sen has done. But I think he’s scary… I’m never going to say on your
program or anywhere else that Hun Sen should be overthrown by force, but he is
not going to be overthrown any other way.”

“We
can call it a hotel or detention centre. The prisoners and the families who
have money, they can [pay] rent and stay there.”

& Interior Minister Sar Kheng, 29 March 2016, The Phnom Penh Post
“We
can rent [luxury facilities] to those who have money… They [the criminals] are
used to living in good conditions and they may want to continue living in good
conditions. So they have that option.”
Spokesman
for the Interior Ministry’s General Department of Prisons, Nuth Savna, 29 March
2016, The Phnom Penh Post
Premier
Hun Sen has three major options to deal with the current challenge to his power:
talking with his opponents, keeping Kem Sokha holed up, and storming the CNRP
headquarters to arrest the man.
The
talk option sounds sublime, though both do not even agree if there is a crisis.
Nevertheless, a successful talk may result in more family dinners and new
glorified titles for all concerned. There are numerous would-be unpalatable
compromises, bitter past experiences, and enormous egos that need constant massaging,
keeping the culture of dialogue dormant. And Chandler is convinced that these
“guys don’t do dialogue”.
Letting
Kem Sokha coop up in the headquarters is not viable beyond short term. Though
the premier says nobody cares about Kem Sokha being trapped there, he does – he
would look powerless. Court cases and summons are being piled up, and all would
become a joke unless Kem Sokha is forced to face the music. For a regime that
takes so much pride in its own brand rule of law, such blatant resistance is
intolerable. Hun Sen must choose soon what he respects – his rule of law, or Kem
Sokha’s defiance; otherwise, even his supporters will see that he is indecisive
and not as powerful as he wants them to think.
Hence,
the storming choice becomes increasingly attractive. This will show Hun Sen’s
raw power – that he is in control. There will be clashes that may prove bloody
for those who honour their vow to stand between guns and Kem Sokha. Yet, Hun
Sen says he will foot “any costs” to protect what he calls his hard-won peace
and development from threats his opponents like Kem Sokha represent.
There
are two possible outcomes from this option. If the armed forces can overcome Kem
Sokha’s devout supporters, Kem Sokha will be thrown in jail. It may be a bit rough
for him to move from what Hun Sen describes as a four-metre-by-four-metre space
in the CNRP premises to an overcrowded cell of a penal system built for 8,500
inmates but actually accommodating over 17,500. It will not be his first time, though.
He has been there, and still deciding it is worth his while to keep on challenging
Hun Sen.
Nevertheless,
if CNRP had Plan B that would invoke people’s power minus non-violence, Chandler’s
claim that only force can overthrow Hun Sen would be tested. Sometimes only the
language of violence will make violent people like the premier understand the audacity
of those who have nothing to lose.
Hun
Sen is jumpy; he must feel an aura of the people’s power. Suspicions rule his actions when he has even the smallest meetings broken up to ease his mind. As an
insurance policy he has approved a new prison that offers hotel facilities
equipped with air-conditioning and presumably, gourmet menus, the construction
of which begins this month. If the people’s power overwhelms his armed forces,
Hun Sen will then have somewhere to live a life that he is accustomed to without
drastic adjustments.

By The Way
According
to CPP spokesman Sok Eysan, Ban Ki-moon “governs” more than 200 countries. Does
he really? The UN secretary-general plays many roles, but governing member
states is definitely not one of them. At the last count, the number of the UN
member states is 193, not over 200. He should take some time to verify facts,
in lieu of flying on the seat of his pants, before opening his mouth.
Does
Ban Ki-moon base his concern for the widespread intimidations and harassments
in Cambodia on factual errors like Sok Eysan in his rebuke? Is Ban Ki-moon so
bewildered by the bombings and killings in the Middle East that he loses his
sense of reality in Cambodia?
