DISSENT !

By Khmer Democrat, Phnom Penh
Power to the People - DISSENT!

Here's a cautionary tale for the Cambodian dictator and his sycophantic hangers-on and powers-that-be. Here's a great encouragement for the Cambodian people. Excerpt from article:

Prime Minister Claims Power in Tunisia as President Flees
International Herald Tribune
January 14, 2011

The apparent fall of Mr. Ben Ali would mark the first time that widespread demonstrations had overthrown an Arab leader.

The prime minister’s announcement followed an extraordinary and fast-moving back-and-forth between the government and the protesters, who became increasingly emboldened over the last month of demonstrations. After the president tried to placate the protesters Thursday with promises of more freedom, including a right to demonstrate, tens of thousands rushed into the streets of downtown Tunis Friday to take advantage of his pledge by calling for his ouster [...]

The anti-government protests began a month ago when a college- educated street vendor burned himself to death in protest of his dismal prospects amid Tunisia’s poverty.

But the mounting protests quickly evolved from demands for more jobs to demands for political reforms, focusing mainly on the perceived corruption of the government and the self-enrichment of the ruling family. The protests were accelerated by the heavy use of social-media web sites like Facebook and Twitter by Tunisia’s large cohort of educated young people, who used the Internet to call for demonstrations and to circulate videos of each successive clash.

Some demonstrators also cited the evidence of cables from the United States Embassy in Tunisia that were released by the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks providing vividly detailed accounts of the first family’s self-enrichment and opulent lifestyle.

Before the president announced legislative elections, the crowd that gathered in the streets Friday morning on Avenue Bourguiba was celebrating its confidence that change was at hand. “Victory, victory, until the government falls,” protesters chanted.

“Bouazizi you are a hero,” they shouted, referring to the vendor who died. “The people of Tunisia have won.”

This is a good example and the way to go, internet is the powerful medium in the 20th century.

Hun Sen and his gangs can not get away with what he has done. So many innocence people were killed during the K5, land grabbing from the poor, brought million of youns into Cambodia, selling national assets to the foreigners for 99 years don't even care for the next generation, give land to youn along the border, celebrating the youn invasion day 7th January which should be the day of mourning.

We as the Cambodians we have the power to do that if we stand up together and fight either through the internet or demonstration. We can do this I know we can.

Down the traitors, dictator and slaves to youns

Yeah yeah, but it is not going to happen in Cambodia. People in Cambodia love Hun Sen government. They majority voted for him, and he will win again the election held today.

Yeah there are unhappy few, but the vast majority are happy with the government.
