Unfortunately, when it comes to the eastern border, this issue turned into a tragic fight among the Cambodians. It is regrettable to see that Cambodian politicians are not willing to sit with each other to reach unity on this national problem. Quite to the contrary, they ended tearing each other apart in front of their neighbors who are focused on invading Cambodian territories. Is it impossible for Cambodian politicians to reach a unity consensus?Opposition leader Sam Rainsy is currently being sued under two new charges involving the border with Vietnam. The new lawsuit that the government lawyer had just sent to the Phnom Penh municipal court on Friday is more severe than the first one in which Sam Rainsy was sentenced to 2-year of jail time. Will the border problem leads to disunity and unending hatred among the Cambodians?
The two-year jail sentence for uprooting border stakes in Svay Rieng province was not the end of Sam Rainsy’s case. It was in fact the start to additional charges brought against Sam Rainsy. The continuing saga of this case leads to a more severe and unsolvable problem. The two new accusations raised by the government lawyer and sent to the Phnom Penh municipal court on Friday are: (1) publication of false information, and (2) the falsification of public documents. They are much more severe charges that could lead to up to 15-year of jail sentence.
The two new charges were raised after opposition leader Sam Rainsy published maps to prove that the border stakes which he uprooted in Samrong commune, Chantrea district, Svay Rieng province, at the end of October 2009, were truly inside Cambodian territories. However, the government called these documents “fake”, and it went on to accuse Sam Rainsy of defaming the government.
The government explained that Sam Rainsy used wrong technique which led to wrong representation of geographical coordinates indicated on the maps. For the government, this action was done with bad intention from the opposition leader to accuse the government of losing land. However, in listening to Sam Rainsy, the map documents he published were correct because the work was performed with cooperation from both Cambodian and foreign experts. Therefore, these maps should not carry any technical mistake.
Nevertheless, the lawsuit against Sam Rainsy was already sent to the court, and from now on, only confrontations between technical experts from both sides could clearly reveal the truth about this case and also both sides must defend themselves in court.
However, besides the technical and legal aspect of the case, strategy mistake should also be noted because border problems could be the catalyst that lead to disunity among Cambodian politicians, as well as their unending hatred from one generation to another. Based on our past history, the border problem should be an issue that unites all Cambodians, irrespective of their political allegiance, because this is a national affair that requires unity.
For example, problems along the western border seems to bring national unity that cannot be missed, i.e. the government leaders have shown their determination to defend Cambodia’s territorial integrity against neighboring aggression, and the opposition, as well as the population, are all supporting this action. This is a national unity with which Cambodians can be proud of.
Unfortunately, when it comes to the eastern border, this issue turned into a tragic fight among the Cambodians. It is regrettable to see that Cambodian politicians are not willing to sit with each other to reach unity on this national problem. Quite to the contrary, they ended tearing each other apart in front of their neighbors who are focused on invading Cambodian territories. Is it impossible for Cambodian politicians to reach a unity consensus?

Mr. Sam Rainsy is the real and true khmer patriot, and Hun Sen and it clans are traitors of the khmer nation and their people.
Sihanouk and Royal Family are the first traitors.
It show Cambodian government is not yet mature. Their action paints a big picture of what inside their head. If Hun Sen government embracing a win-win approach for his presiding government, his approach to the Eastern border issue is rather a lose lose scenario. Again and again Cambodia is repeating itself for the demise and suffering future. Cambodia must look for each other....foreigners will not help Cambodia for nothing...they do it for their own interest not ours. This is a test time for Cambodia again... We'll see we will swim or we will sink...
“Fake Ruom Ritt" is Ngin Chhorn
and "Real Ruom Ritt" is ah Sdach Kbot Cheat Sihanouk.
Akwak Hun Sen doesn't care about Khmer unity and sovereignty, but He cares about his boss, Yuon. He sues Sam Rainsy on behalf of Yuon interest not Khmer. The border issue is the issue for all Khmer interest. If Sam Rainsy lose it means all Khmer lose too. But when Hun Sen wins, only Yuon win.
Pres. Jhon Kennedy once said, "ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country".
Sam Rainsy relentlessly works for the interest of khmer people and his country. He's a national hero.
It's not that the government does not want to sit and talk about the eastern border issues, it's Hun Sen that doesn't want to tell the country and the world that he is working for the benefit of Hanoi and the Yuon people. HUN SEN, THE KHMER TRAITOR AND SUPPORTERS OF THE CPP which stands for Communist People's Party because it was installed by the Hanoi and if it was Cambodian People's Party then why the hell is he not working for the Cambodian people? AGREE??
Well said KhmerKingdom. We who visit this site all know that CPP is Communist People Party who work for the YOUN.
Next election, for any party beside the fake CPP who works against all Khmer.
Hun Sen gov.realize their way out. Thay just try to find things to delay buying time.Kick back and watch khmer love khmer.
We need to destroy this Communist regime. Kill all the traitors...I mean All Traitors who betrayed the country and Camnbodian people. No Mercy on them.
After Pol Pot's era, Khmer peoples will be abused again in the hands of Mr.smartless Hun Sen.
The reveiw of international law and the Paris agreements is a key to solve this border issue and it could be simple to start from the Western zone to the East without a single blood drop of Khmer soldier.
Why Mr.smartlees is so tug only to the poor Khmers?.
Hun Sen is serving Youns not Khmers, that's simple.
Yes.. Khmer is divided as long as Hun Sen keeps denying border issue in the east. Hun Sen must sit down and talk to Sam Raingsy to find a better solution for khmer. Hun Sen should also thanks Sam Raingsy for his bravery to protect our land.
How the hell are these politicians suppose to sit with each other to reach unity when one of them is obviously working solely for the VIETNAMESE and not the Khmer Nation? It is however possible for politicians to reach a unity consensus if the other side were actually Khmer Cambodian, and not Yuon.
Hun Sen is works for Vietnamese, never will he sit down and negotiate with Khmer.
HunXen should be known as youn, ah yong youn.
He bend backward for youn. He never seen open his big mouth at any youn.
He is the biggest jack-azz of all mankind.
Everytime I see HunXen' face. I see youn!
To prove it ALL KHMER must vote HUN SEN out of office!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Under the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime, no criminals that has been committed crimes against journalists, political opponents, leaders of the Free Trade Union, innocent men, women and children have ever been brought to justice.
The move to lodge lawsuits against Sam Rainsy and SRP is a fatal move. Whether the map is true or fake the CPP leaders are now about to commit a suicide acts and along with them the Cambodian nation.
These leaders do not know to lead. They do not know where and how to do it.They are rather blind ans led by hatred, revenge. They have no vision. They are blind who lead the people they are blinding.
God wrath will come again against
Cambodian nation and people because of the wicked acts of the successive pseudo-leaders.
Khmers know that Hun Sen is just a monkey that improvises everyday, they will be real when the change arrives.
