Hun Sen Expediting His Demise into Club of Tinpot Dictators
War on the people! This
Friday morning, hundreds of workers (mostly young women from the
provinces) from SL Garment Factory protested by marching in the
direction of Hun Sen's house. The armed forces blocked their freedom of
expression, freedom of movement, freedom of assembly.
This is the beginning of the end of Hun Sen, if he continues to grasp onto power. The window of opportunity for him to remove himself from the Club of Tinpot Dictators is closing fast.
The alternative is this continuing warfare with the people, who will not back down. If we did not back down by the violence and crackdown over the years, why would we back down now, exponentially empowered and connected?
