Now the government has decided to crack down on protests against land grabs by arresting anyone who is caught organising a protest.
Already more than a dozen people have been charged.
Al Jazeera's Stephanie Scawen reports from the capital, Phnom Penh.
Note by School of Vice
Yes, it is a well oiled, rehearsed response given by CPP
hierarchy to foreign reporters and media, be it to do with the plight of the
thousands who live along the polluted river Sesan, the impact of gigantic
hydraulic dams, the clearing of vast swathes of forested lands to make way for
so-called development projects such as rubber and oil-palm plantations etc. The
implication is that any material losses befallen upon such “minority” groups as
a result of implementing these projects would be tolerable, necessary price to
pay for the greater overall benefits to be gained by the vast majority of
people. So it's quite all right if a few innocent people get shot, killed,
imprisoned, beaten and so on whilst the country is being developed!
Furthermore, as this report mentions the government tries “to
develop the country” by granting land concessions to private companies but it
faces corruption, making it sound almost as if "the government"
itself is somehow helpless bystander in all of this whereas all the indications
and evidence point to direct correlations in agreements affected at the highest
echelons of government and so-called investment companies who invariably set
about implementing their approved projects with scant regard being paid to the
possibility of local livelihoods being destroyed or to environmental concerns.
Certainly some lower level officials may be benefitting from
the chain of institutional corruption, and whilst the government sees
short-term merit in allowing corruption to flourish because it can hardly
afford to pay the wages of its employees
in all sectors and because of its manifestly bankrupt economic policies [the
hundreds of "advisors" attached to the government and its ministers
are often drawn from the same cesspool of self-serving sycophants and
psychopaths or scoundrels who are just as adept at playing along the game that
has after all served themselves and the people they are there to advise well
enough so far!] the dispossession of thousands of ordinary Khmers off their
arable lands can go on indefinitely. But, along with this massive land-grab,
dispossession and the wholesale destruction of the environment the country now
seriously faces the loss of national sovereignty on an unprecedented scale
through this economic land concession madness. Most of the lands or estates once
held in public ownership or in state possession are now being or have been
effectively transferred into private foreign hands or controls. It's as if the
leadership is being drugged into a zombie-like state and induced to sign
whatever "development proposal" being presented before them, or that
they are actually conscious of what is happening but knowing that it is too
late to save a sinking ship instead choosing to help hasten the crisis further by
breaking open the national safe, take the cash and assets for themselves and make
a run for the life-boats!

You are the master of helping Vietnam to deploy its policy of Vietnamization on Cambodia.
Vietnam will keep you in power until Cambodia becomes officially a province of Vietnam.

Hun Sen has finally sealed his own fate and regime as he moves to seal his territory and take final control against those who dare to challenge his power and national policies.
What follows next is anybody's guess and depends more on the Cambodian people's maturity, concerns and willingness to take their destiny into their own hands without which they, the Cambodians can only blame themselves and noone else under the sky for the suffering that befalls them and their country again and again.
As a people Cambodians have failed many exams of getting their leaders answer to them so hopefully they won't fail this new exam that they are expected to sit through.

At least 400,000 people are affected by increasingly common land disputes in Cambodia.
The above statement is underrated. Over 7 millions hectares of land and over 30% of our rainforest have been lost due to land concession.
The Hun Sen government done nothing to help the so called development of the country, but development of their bank accounts.
MY ASSASSIN FRIENDS
By Rob Cameron
People in the Czech Republic are marking the seventieth anniversary of the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, one of the most senior figures in Germany's Third Reich.
Heydrich - the overall head of security in Nazi Germany and a leading architect of the Final Solution - was killed by British-trained Czechoslovak parachutists in what was codenamed Operation Anthropoid, prompting terrible reprisals by Hitler.
Alois Denemarek was one of the last people to see Heydrich's assassin alive.
It was early June, 1942, and Mr Denemarek had travelled from his home village in Moravia to Prague. There, in a small park by the National Museum, he met his boyhood friend Jan Kubis.
Continue reading the main story
“Of course it was worth it, killing Heydrich. Even though it cost the lives of my family, my brother, my mother, my father...”
said Alois Denemarek.
Several days previously, Kubis and fellow parachutists Jozef Gabcik and Josef Valcik had carried out one of the most audacious attacks of World War Two.
In broad daylight, they had mortally wounded SS Obergruppenfuehrer Reinhard Heydrich, the acting Reichsprotektor of Bohemia and Moravia, as he was heading to Berlin for a meeting with Hitler.
Heydrich was known for his extraordinary brutality - even by Nazi standards. Hitler was beside himself with rage. The Nazis launched a massive manhunt.
"I remember what Jan said to me when I met him," Mr Denemarek, now 94, told the BBC from his home in South Moravia.
They had met to discuss how to help a wounded parachutist who the Denemarek family were sheltering in their hayloft. Kubis advised his friend not to risk bringing him to Prague.
"He said - look, things are a bit tense here at the moment."
That was something of an understatement.
Gun jammed
The story of Operation Anthropoid, devised by Britain's Special Operations Executive (SOE), has been told in countless articles, books and films.
Heydrich was a leading architect of the Final Solution
On 27 May 1942, as Heydrich's open-top Mercedes limousine slowed to round a hairpin bend in Prague, Gabcik - armed with a Sten sub-machine gun - leapt in front of the car and pulled the trigger. The gun jammed.
Heydrich ordered his driver to halt and drew his pistol. Kubis threw a bomb, which exploded near the car, and fled. Heydrich, wounded and in shock, pursued his attackers for several metres before returning to the car and collapsing.
It initially seemed the attempt to kill Heydrich had failed. But he died in Prague's Bulovka hospital eight days later, reportedly from septicaemia from the shrapnel, or possibly fragments of upholstery.
"I'm incredibly proud of what my friend did," Mr Denemarek told the BBC.
"If it wasn't for Jan, I wouldn't be here today. Half the Czech nation wouldn't be here today. Heydrich had terrible plans for us Czechs," he went on.
In January of that year, Heydrich had chaired the infamous Wannsee Conference, which set out plans for the enslavement and murder of 11 million European Jews. The Slavs, according to Heydrich's plans, would be next.

Hun Sen has been the master and manipulator of Cambodian dirty politics for more than 3 decades. We cannot refute this fact.
He even smart ass enough to:
1. avoid being viewed as a personality cult by not allowing to errect his statues;
2. avoid being viewed as a dictator by conducting national elections and have coalition govt;
3. avoid being viewed as a communist country by allowing to have plural parties; etc.
However, he is:
1. able order all arm forces to crack down on dissidents mercilessly;
2. use state property and budget to serve his political agenda;
3. use state property and positions as tools for dividing oppositions and buy support from people;
4. use state resources and gvt officers to cover up his crime and corruptions and to fool international community again and again, etc, and etc.
He learns this political survival from Yuon Guru. Without the above montioned tricks, he would have been toppled long time ago.

My assassin friends will take care of this.
1:53 PM,
You need to criticize the masters of Hanoi, Vietnam, but not just Hun Sen, a Vietnamese dog. Vietnamese master-minded monsters have been controlling a Vietnamese dog Hun Sen for more than 3 decades and also secret providers and advisers to a stupid Vietminh KR Hun Sen, giving direct orders to do whatever to Cambodian/Khmer people and destroy Cambodia's natural resources, cause the land grabbing all over the country of Cambodia. Yes, Hun Sen is a coward and has been so scare of his Vietnamese masters in Hanoi who will eliminate him or exterminate him if he refuses to take the orders of his Vietnamese masters.
UN, the U.S., EU and International Communities or donors need to know exactly about Vietnam leaders in Hanoi who are the ones have involve with the Human Right Violations in Cambodia, Destruction to Cambodia, the Killing Fields from 1975 to 1979, dirty and bloody games that fool the UN, the U.S., EU and International Communities or donors, and beyond the real problems coming from the master-minded monsters in Hanoi who have the powers over the Vietnamese dog Hun Sen and pushed Vietnamese dog Hun Sen to hurt Cambodian people, influenced Vietnamese dog Hun Sen about the money and power for non stop, and gained benefits of wealth/billions of dollars coming from Cambodia's natural resources, scandal investment, illegal businesses, and beyond ...until the evil Vietnamese monsters in Hanoi and their Vietnamese followers to slowly swallow Cambodia land by making Cambodian populations become a minority first when the millions of illegal Vietnamese settlers flooding into Cambodian territory just like in the past back in French colony in late 1800s.

Your style of writing is fantastic. Your articles are very convincing. They would be interesting if you are able to post on New York Times, Herald Tribunes and other int'l media and the lobbyist circle. This article should be sent to the Alzeera too as a response.

The Vietnamese company representative, who identified himself only as Mr. Thy, said that the company has a concession from the government, and villagers were essentially squatters.
“Those villagers have no right to live on our land.

This so-called land concession is very dangerous for Cambodia future her her survival.
Actually, it's a the westward journey of Viet ambitious plan in disguise.
They (Viet) just want to put one solid foot in Cambodia first,... then the next foot and the next and the next will follows.
These Viet companies will bring their own people to com to work in these farm lands.
And these people will bring their own family.
And their families will bring their families.
When 99 yrs lease is up and they refuse to hand back the lands to Cambodian government, do we fave any mean to take the lands back?
They will claim the lands belong to their ancestors since they would have been living on the lands for a century already.
If hun Sen doesn't see this danger, he must be blind ( no pun intended)

The Chinese are just as bad as the YOUN. The only problems with the YOUN is that they will stop at nothing.
