Prince Norodom Ranariddh on Friday renewed calls for a democratic coalition of his Norodom Ranariddh Party (NRP) with the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) in the lead- up to next year's election, local media reported Monday.
"I ask His Excellency Sam Rainsy to announce his commitment to unite with other nationalists, royalists and democrats to join into one family to unite nationalist forces to compete in 2008," English-Khmer language newspaper the Cambodia Daily quoted Ranariddh as saying in Prey Veng province by telephone from Malaysia.
The prince, who has remained abroad since his sentence in March to 18 months in absentia for breach of trust over the sale of the former Funcinpec headquarters, made a similar call to form an alliance of democrats earlier this year, which bore no results.
SRP Secretary-General Eng Chhay Eang said that his party is at least for now not interested in the idea of a coalition with the NRP, claiming that the prince just wants to build political capital.
"The SRP does not want to fall into the prince's trap again," he said.
Information Minister and government spokesman Khieu Kanharith disregarded the notion as a threat to the ruling Cambodian People' s Party (CPP).
"We want to laugh. The prince has no new ideas," he added.
According to the law, Ranariddh has to serve his terms if he wants to return to Cambodia to restart his political career.
CPP has been governing the kingdom in cooperation with Funcinpec for years. Ranariddh was ousted as Funcinpec president in October 2006 for neglecting party affairs.
CPP and Funcinpec have recently appointed their premiership candidates for the 2008 general election.

Nop, you must stay an exiled for ever......
Hey, prince, have you remembered this phrase? "Make the Cambodian water Hotter and Hotter for the Yuon Fish, to bring them to the table for a political solution."
This time,from I have helped to I have hate you. You are nobody now, all the strategic peoples hated you Guts............
Minreah
Ranarith is out of his mind to call for any party to join with him.
It is political suicide to join with convict. Doesn't he know? What type of Phd does he hold?
P= Pimp
H= Hole
D= Di*
That's his PHD
If the SRP lends its hands to a drowning Rannariddh again, it spells the end of the SRP. Rannariddh is nothing but a clown and a con. You can't take him serious. He'll never change. Leave him to rot and die.
Ranarridh should call on his supporters to join SRP to strengthen forces
I apologize if this is not related this article:

You are respected by the comment and comprehension of the cause of the war in Cambodia.
The origin of the war and killing field in Cambodia is somehow just the by-product of Vietcong war, especially the perpetuated attempt of Indochina Confederation maneuvered by Vietnam.
Indochinese Confederation primarily found and recognized by French colony or it was called French Union. In that time, French recognized Vietnam leadership to guide this union (read Vietnam Join the World for more detailed).
After that, when the war fought against America which were tremendously backed by China and Russia; Indochinese Community Party is created and it is officially recognized by China. Ho Chi Minh is the founder and also the leader of ICP to lead Lao and Cambodia. But when Lao and Cambodia felt not comfortable with this union/federation, Vietnam allowed to have Lao communist party and Cambodian communist party. However, Vietnam suggested to have mix committees within each party.
The Federation has been investigated and interrogated by international watchers, so that Vietnam changed it to be "Association" that stand on ideology of "mutual relationship". The objectives are "to preserve the special relationship between the Vietnamese people and the people of Laos and Cambodia; and to strengthen military solidarity, mutual trust, long term corporation and mutual assistance in all fields..."
Vietnam has no problem with Lao because Lao has never had any international agreement to recognize its border sovereignty. But Vietnam has some obstacles with Cambodia. Those obstacles happened with Cambodia during the signature of Geneva Agreement led by Somdach Ta N.Sihanouk and especially the Paris Peace Agreement in 1991.
However, the continuity of Association and Vietnam affiliation or interference inside Cambodia is still smoothly continuing in with an unopen manner. This manner is lighter than if we compare with Lao.
Influences of Vietnam inside Cambodia is being altered during Songkum Reastr Niyum of Somdach Ta N.Sihanouk, Lon Nol and Pol Pot. But Vietnam still had influences and organizing Cambodian insurgents such as Khmer Issarak who fought against N.Sihanouk, Pol Pot who once joined Vietnam to fight against America; and finally Khmer Vietminh group that once led by Achar Mien and their younger generation is present CPP's leaders.
Clearly, the federation that changed association is still alive and operational inside Cambodia. It is dead during the Khmer Rouge, but re-survive again during the Vietnamese invasion in January 7, 1979. And it is nearly dead during the UNTAC in Cambodia, but it is re-survive again by the supplemental border treaty in 2005.
Legally, it has full status as mutual relationship with Cambodia and secretly it is potentially and possibly spreading spies and staffs inside Cambodia.
We need to study more about this, but the influence of Indochinese Association is still tight inside CPP. Only CPP who knows this better than us.

Well, about 10% in this article is corrected that's all.
I think Rannarith should stay home enjoy his life with his new wife with small son from the monies stolen from 10 years in office in Cambodia plus all the monies collected by selling all position in Cambodia. His political life should be finished with all his broken promises and his bad behavious during his time in power. No body will listen to his barking anymore. Areak Prey
No , KY comment is 99% incorrect. This is waht Khieu Samphan is doing to evade all questions. This is a KR propaganda.
Gentleman
Hello Areak prey!
Glad we meet again.
Please leave our fancy prince alone.He is consider to be a lost soul, may be you can meet him in the forest in stead because no one wants to meet him in town anymore.
I wrote to KY before via email, perhaps we can discuss further of any interest,my name was yun samneang.OK
Neang SA
My advice to Sam Rainsy Party is to welcome Ranariddh with its right bare foot on his behind and say "stay in your royal palace"
If I were members of NRP, I will jump ship now. What is the use? Party with convict leader will not get any vote. Khmer People is not that stupid.
khmer leader, its time to stop the " he said, she said " and unite. The future is as important as the past. Unity, and compromise is the only solution for the poor, the weak, the nation and khmer altogether.
Count me in, mate!

My article is not about correct or incorrect, it is about the survival of Cambodia. And it is not about anybody's propaganda; but it is about truth that CPP has to clarify in front of Cambodian populace that through the help of installing to power in January 7, 1997; how CPP can escape from such huge gratitude/repayment and what is CPP's future vision to free Cambodia from such Vietnam's trap?
CPP would have better vision for future of Cambodia; not to keep such rotten association with Vietnam, but they must keep modern legal diplomatic relation with every nation under the international standard of law, in order to survive the nation and build bright future of younger Cambodians.

Cambodia was under Yuon Hanoi satellite since 1947, since June 15th 1955 thru- 60,66,69 and 70 Yuon Hanoi have Installed 230,000 Vietcongs, at the following areas:
Angkor, Baray, Tang kauk, Kampong Cham, Svay Reing, Prey Veng, Rattanakiri, Mondulkiri, Koh Thom, Kandal, Takeo, Kampot, Snoul, Kratié, Mémot, Chop, Chamkar Loeu, Prey Tortung, Borkeo, Borko, Phnom Del, Thnal Torteung, Ba kham, Phnom Penh.ect... I was the 1st Faced with Yuon Hanoi fighters at that times, all Yuon Hanoi thminh khmao, We called Yuon YeaK CÔng. So = CPP was FUNK and FUNK was Yuon Hanoi Created.
Their goal is to put Cambodia under yuon colony, and it is now.
KR=KC=CPK is not yuon.
Rainsy good what he is now,when he unites with the corrupt prince=the man with out face so Rainsy will face with two obstacles #1 take the trust away from the voters#2 Monarchy is very weak and exhaust ,do Ransy want to put the bad luck prince,back in to life.
Ransy think your self
A word of advice to Sam Rainsy when he reads Ranarit's call. There is a saying: FOOL ME ONCE SHAME YOU, FOOL ME TWICE SHAME ON ME. Don't forget how many times Ranarit had double crossed you.
To KY
Well done for your analysis! The only way to deal with these fucken Vietcong is to call off all engagement and cut off all diplomatic ties but not people or economic tie and start supplying Khmer Krom the weapons!
Why the Prince has to scream when he about to die and why can he just die quietly like all Vietcong dogs do?
I don't think he's screaming but gasping loudly for air on his last breath.
Hey guys, is the SRP still going to united with other parties in order to attempt to take control of the country from the CPP? I bet the SRP know by now that that idea bit the dust, and they haven't got a prayer against the one and only CPP.
Ha Ha, Dogs are still biting each other, fighting one another.....
Royal Dogs.... worth than animal fece... Ach Ko( Ox fece) is much more better than those animals it can be ferilisers to produce more rice in Cambodia.....
