A large portion of the royalist movement wishes to see the reunification of this movement behind Prince Ranariddh.
The royalists from all parties are crying out their intention to regroup themselves around Prince Norodom Ranariddh. Following their defeat at the latest election, it is imperative for them to put an end to their divisions. The rift dated back to the Funcinpec congress which was held in October 2006, and it became more serious after the sentencing of the prince and his voluntary self-exile. The prince’s return still remains uncertain.
“We hope to re-launch the negotiations between Funcinpec and the NRP. The goal is to bring back the prince to the Funcinpec folds, because for all of us, in both camps, we love royalty,” claimed Ok Socheat, the former advisor of Prince Ranariddh who followed him to the NRP for several months, before returning back recently to join Funcinpec again.
However, the situation seems clear to Ranariddh. He will not come back on his decision. He considers himself a victim of a plot fomented within Funcinpec at the last congress. He still insists on this point, as he expressed it in his latest letter dated 27 August. “Whether the prince returns back or not is no problem for Funcinpec, the local NRP leaders in the provinces already start to desert him. And if he does not come back, there will nobody with him anymore,” Ok Socheat said.
A different tune is advanced by Pok Than, NRP secretary general, who is persevering and confirms that he is “staying with Prince Ranariddh, because we are optimistic about the future.” “I think that staying with the Prince is not a danger, however, we are scared (to see) the waves of Funcinpec party members who left to join the CPP rank. Prince Ranariddh is more popular than Funcinpec. We hope that he will come back in time for the crucial 2008 election,” Pok Than added.

That is the boy. I Congratulate finally you are wiser.
UNITE and STOP Breaking UP.
The Royalist are fools. You have no party anymore suckers. Want to make real change for everyday ordinary citizens? Join the SRP. You are all as corrupt as the CPP, but unlike the CPP, you are all clueless. Stop playing politics.
In order to maintain Cambodia in peace and independence, all party must not stop put individual names and use Khmer nation as benefit to such party, such as Mr. Kem Sokha's party, Prince Ranariddh's party, Mr. Sam Rainsey's party, or Royalist's party. These kind of party are your own private party. At this present day, every one in the world look this party, they see that it is exactly a private party for his own business. why? Please consider Mr. Seng San's party, by the time he passed away who will look after him? his family? or assistants of his fellowers? it's a No Way. so, finally it's closed. Now, many private party come up again, what happen when these Leaders die? their assistants? or their family? who would want to risk life for these private family? so it will disapear like Ms. Seng San's party.
So, Please!! Stop use your own name to fool Khmer innocent any more. there are plenty Name you can form, Example like: Khmer National United Party. otherwise, you all cannot beat with CPP. Remember, the more party you can form, the smaller and weaker you are, And You Are All the Losser and We all wast time again and again. Look CPP never splite the party.
A wake up message to all Khmer Patriotism, Love and Respect from Khmer-Waking-Up Movement
Hello their 9:59PM,
I can agree with you in principle but in reality, in Cambodia, there too many robbers. These robbers were first robbed monies, then grow to rob motorbike, Car parts, full car, houses, lands, wifes ( Piset Pilika was a married woman and was robbed in daylight by Hun sen and Hok Lundy. Her husband has thread and was sent to overseas, Buddha status, Museum products, Power ( many real people who used to work for Rannarith has their names robbed by rich people so that they can be prmoted into military leaders. THe true people were being thread not to emerge into Phnom Penh if not they will kill them.), rob all forests etc.. and etc.., From 1998 upward, Cambodia has party robbers. If have nuilt a party into a strong one, they will rob from you like Cheat Khmer Party, some one has robbed from Sam Rainsy. If you have built a good profitable company, they will kill you and robbed it from you ( The same Kith Meng has robbed his brother Campany) etc.. and etc... In a our Buddha prediction, we are now in a regime of Chor Haroi. Please tell me is in Cambodia is not a Chor? If they are not Chor how can they surive with a small salary?
Therefore I cannot expect anyone to be in good order at all !!
From Father to children, as soon as they are angry they always go to broads leaving problems inside the country. After the problem settled by their followers then they returned. It's not a different like a family having problem, then a spouce left home after thing settled then he/she come back. None of them is problem solver, only members, only khmer people rist their lives for Khmer nation, but Khmer people never receive power only Rolyalist.
Stop fool Khmer Innocents again and again. This Royalist really are afraid to die then we are the Khmer people. They are Checken to confront any animy. For Sure, ask this royalist member who dare face front line in fighting field.
Cambodia - Economist Intelligence Unit - The Economist
OVERVIEW: The Cambodian People's Party (CPP) will remain firmly in control as the dominant party in the ruling coalition, and is set to win the 2008 general election. The National United Front for an Independent, Neutral, Peaceful and Co-operative Cambodia (FUNCINPEC), the junior party in the coalition, is unlikely to succeed in securing a strong post-election alliance with the CPP. The Sam Rainsy Party will remain the principal credible source of opposition. The pace of economic reform is unlikely to pick up rapidly, and corruption will remain a serious problem, frustrating both foreign donors and investors. Economic growth will remain strong, but the competitiveness of the important garment sector remains in doubt. Consumer price inflation is forecast to accelerate to 4.5% in 2008. After appreciating on an annual average basis in 2007, the riel will weaken in 2008. The current account will remain in deficit, but flows of aid and investment will remain fairly buoyant.
