Cambodia's new Prime Minister Hun Manet recently attended the United Nations General Assembly and took the opportunity to visit the United States. He met with U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, who pledged $18 million in economic assistance to Cambodia.
Hun Mane's visit was a success, but there were people who were unhappy about it. That person is the opposition leader Sam Rainsy, who was once Cambodia's finance minister. Sam Rainsy and Hun Mane's father, former Prime Minister Prince Hun Sen, were political enemies. Hun Sen expelled Sam Rainsy from Cambodia, but Sam Rainsy has been fighting against Hun Sen all the time.
Sam Rainsy posted multiple photos of the demonstrations on Facebook. These ** show the demonstrations held by many Cambodian compatriots from the United States, Canada, New Zealand and other places in front of the United Nations headquarters in New York, the United States, local time on September 22.
The demonstrators, all former CNRP members, held banners and shouted against Hun Mane's Cambodian New **.
Prince Hun Sen is very concerned about Sam Rainsy's every move, and every time Sam Rainsy makes any remarks, he has to be careful and often jump to his feet in anger. This time, he saw that Sam Rainsy was against his son, but instead of getting angry, he calmly spoke out. On the morning of September 23, Prince Hun Sen wrote on Facebook:
I have been following the situation at the UN General Assembly and have seen Cambodia's new Prime Minister, Hun Manet, meet with the UN Secretary-General and address the UN General Assembly. The opposition should face up to and adapt to the situation, and more importantly, abide by the law. The United Nations does not exclude or oppose Hun Sen, Hun Manet or anyone else, as long as he is a legitimate prime minister, he has the opportunity to speak at the United Nations. ”
Prince Hun Sen did not scold Sam Rainsy this time, but said a few words calmly, which was different from the past. Is this a change of attitude on his part, should he be re-evaluated?Or is he getting older and his temper has gotten better?
